I mean wouldn't the problem just start again after someone dead on that hook? Or has that Jeff perk that breaks it for 3 minutes.

Yes but usually its just one player so if they died on the hook then theyre typically gone. If its more than one then at least you'd have one dead, one slugged, and only have to worry about two others. As for the Jeff perk, thats the issue that a hook up there wouldnt fix as easily.

Why do you 'have' to dodge? What happens when you loose? Asside from well... almost nothing....
also you should NEVER DC It is never the right choice.
If you care about points: A DC is always 0, playing is always more.
If you care about grades: A DC is always -2 pips and a bad loss is -1
If you care about winning: A DC is always 0%, playing is always higher than 0%
So no matter what DCing is a bad call.

You ever consider if we care about having fun? Its not about stats dude if I'm going to find zero enjoyment playing (which is exactly what video games are for is fun) why should I participate in a game where I'm not even getting to chase people. I would rather get looped and out ran than these overabundant amount of people bringing RPD offerings and using boil over who just run to top of library so I physically cant get hooks. I know the admins are gonna punish me for saying it and honestly prove my thoughts but frankly with the current state of the game there are very rare exceptions where DCing is the right choice. Hackers, overly toxic players (im not just talking about t-bagging or pointing), and players who straight up exploit the games map designs and glitches.

in Any Other Killers Player Tempted To Throw In The Towel Right Now? Comment by thelemonwolf January 29, 2022

Yeah thats far too much of a buff. Killers aura should only be revealed if its going to reveal your aura as well or survivors will easily be able to hide from killers without even being seen. As for opening the hatch without a key thats also too much unless its a long timer to open it and maybe even gives a notification that youre doing it. It would basically recreate the same issue that they tried to fix when they nerfed the hatch. What you propose would lead to people just hiding and following killers since they can see their aura, waiting for them to close hatch, and then as soon as killer leaves they would open hatch and get a free escape.

Two people do not deserve an RNG element of the game to just suddenly give them a consolation prize and allow them to escape for no reason.
Not even 1 survivor deserves to have the game just allow them to escape for no reason.
4% chance to escape from hooks, the Hatch, and exit gates being too far apart are all just second chances there so that survivors can win even though their team lost and the killer won.
The problem is that DBD is a fatalistic game where there are certain points where it's almost pointless to continue playing. The game has massive design flaws at it's core that disincentivize people from engaging with the game. The solution however, is not to rob a side of a victory because the other deserves a consolation prize. That just addresses a problem with another problem that just generates more frustration.
The hatch change is one of the healthiest things they've done in this game so the killer side doesn't get robbed as egregiously. They still have a mountain of issues to resolve, but this was a very good change.

Wow thats the most close minded way to view it I've seen while trying so hard to view it from both sides. "escaping for no reason" as if working on gens, running the killer as a team, spending an item i brought in or found due to previous work or perks i brought in for luck, and generally trying to out run and hide from the killer successfully and long enough to find the hatch. Its not robbing anyone, its allowing it to be a more balanced game for both sides. A 2k 2escape is pretty much par for killers anyway and the chance for killers to catch survivors before they take the hatch anyway makes it so thats not even going to be half of games or a third for that matter. Keys dont even need to function as they did before but there needs to be a way for 2 people to escape besides all or nothing with gens. This wasnt a healthy change, this was a killer focused change. Even then as someone who plays both sides, its pretty lame to know "if i really want to i can tunnel one survivor because i have no punishment virtually guaranteeing me to get a 3k if i apply proper gen pressure". Another way to escape is what balances out the copious amount of tunnelers, campers, and sluggers which is the only thing that made the game tolerable.
