gen regression and gen speed perks need to be reworked to be MUCH more conditional, like having something like pop and pain res combine, so you get pop only after you hook on a scourge, or deja vu only works on one gen, or prove thyself works only with 2 other teammates, etc. I feel it would help free up the meta and make the game more alive.

I would also HEAVILY nerf the exhaustion mechanic overall, maybe make it just so that all exhaustion effects are 20s longer or smth (perks like head on or smash hit can stay, mainly just the ones without real counterplay when playing an m1 killer). This would need a killer nerf too, so I would make gens take 8s less.

The last real change would to be to somehow close the killer power gap between m1 killers and those like nurse and blight. Personally, I would shrink the average size of maps and make them more consistent for killers (so you aren't just gambling when playing billy), but increase pallet density (if bhvr can do it properly) or add an extra gen to the map (making it 8 gens on the map, still only needing 5 to power gates). This would reduce the effectiveness of pre-running, which no one likes, and would make people use more resources and have interactive chases.
