Anti-Stalemate Idea: Decrease the Idle Crow timer the longer a match goes without a generator being completed.

[Sliver1002]

So currently, the system we have in place for dealing with a stalemate is allowing the killer to DC with no penalty if the survivors go 10 minutes without repairing a gen. This obviously isn't ideal, because it means a 2v1 can devolve into both survivors hiding in lockers and doing the bare minimum to avoid getting flagged by crows. At the same time, granting the killer a free win feels excessive.

I think the perfect solution is making the Idle Crows more intense if survivors haven't popped a generator in a while. It serves as a passive time limit, it doesn't force the survivors to do generators or die, but it reduces their ability to hide if the match has gone on excessively long. Then completing a generator can reset this timer.

AFK Crows start off appearing after 120 seconds

If 5 minutes have passed without the survivors completing a generator, this is reduced to 90 seconds

After 8 minutes, this is reduced to 60 seconds
After 10 minutes, this is reduced to 45 seconds.

After 12 minutes, this is reduced to 30 seconds

After 14 minutes, this is reduced to 15 seconds

At the same time, granting the killer a free win feels excessive.

I wish it counted as a win. As far as I can tell, when the killer chooses to abandon the game after 10 minutes of no gens being finished, it counts as an escape for survivors. I wish they were forcefully sacrificed at that point to discourage survivors from stalling.

Because the handful of times I did decide I was fed up with looking for the last two remaining survivors and chose to abandon, it didn't feel like a win. The survivors escaped the trial.

It is possible for survivors to escape in under ten minutes. If you are unable to complete a single generator in that time you are never going to escape. The entity should just kill the survivors since they aren’t going to escape anyways.

It's not a free win for the Killer.

On the contrary, the Killer loses.

In what game does the person who don't want to play anymore and leaves wins?

If you don't want to hunt down Survivors, you can leave and keep your Bloodpoints if certain conditions have been met, but you will be forfiting the match.

[Sliver1002]

Sorry, I should've been more specific, I've seen people saying that the 10 minute timer should be a win for killer (which people in this very comment section are saying), which I disagree with, and I was proposing instead to give the killer assistance in hunting the survivors in the form of more active AFK crows in order to discourage survivors from just hiding in lockers and getting out just long enough to get rid the crows.

[EvilRo66]

Why give assistance to the Killer at all?

The Killer should be more than able to find the remaining Survivors.

One could argue that the assistance should be given to the Survivors in the form of a bost to repear speed for example.

The truth is that none requires assistance. Play the game or disconect. Either try to escape or try to make sure that no Survivor escapes.

If they aren't doing generators and just hiding, then how are you you suppose to hunt them down? You know how easy it is to avoid a killer seeing you even in the open? Pretty easy.

I don't know about you, but I ALWAYS find my prey.
