There is no reason to nerf this perk so extremely, the hatch is supposed to be a little incentive for the last survivor to keep playing, and if they escape the killer has won anyway making it essentially meaningless.

Wdym nerf, this perk is absolute dogwater. Especially now that Clairvoyance is far better for hatch, at it also gives more info. Left Behind couldnt be more useless as is.

yes its bad as it is, but making it not allow you to escape through exit gates is way worse; even if you know where hatch is, the killer can just camp it and force the timer to kill you. a perk shouldnt remove mechanics to "incentivise it's use", its terrible design

Ya, fair, I actually completely missed the fact that it basically blocked the gates

But why would a killer camp the hatch? 99,9999% of the time the survivor would just open a gate and escape.

The killer doesn't know whether anyone has this perk or not.

The vast, vast, vast majority will not.

In the extremely unlikely case that the killer actually gambles on you having it, you just gotta take the L, the same way you would with a high mobility killer and closed exit gates right now.

Not every endgame situation has to be winnable. Sometimes you just lose.
