Survival BP for survivors needs a rework.
The Survivor BP is rather badly set, in that one of Survivors 4 BP categories is almost completely restricted to them unless they escape or have a friendly killer, and 2 others depend on the killer to "have some give" in not being a facecamping cunt who denies saves from even being remotely possible.
The only way to get survivor BP maxed out is if the killer GIVES you Survivor BP, effectively, in him letting you wiggle off of his shoulders or letting you self-heal many many times. Self-healing gives a small chunk of it, but because for some reason Self healing is bugged to give Altruism skill checks instead of Survival skill checks, you still end up getting less than you could by doing those checks.
You should get 100 Survival points every time a killer swings their weapon/uses their power and misses you while in a chase.
Vaulting a window/Pallet in a chase and remaining unhit for 10 seconds after (10 second cooldown between procs, getting hit resets the proc timer) should reward 200 survival BP.
Wiggling should generate survival BP. Even if it doesn't get you off their shoulder. A full wiggle bar could be worth 500 points.
Now that survival BP is in a fair spot, we could retune Boldness BP as well. Boldness should be about you being actually... bold. Fighting back vs the killer, and all. Making the killer swing at you while carrying someone would reward boldness, on top of the altruism from protector/distraction. Just being near the killer and seeing them should generate some (24M range, as long as killer is on screen within this distance). Actively holding the killer's attention (long chases) would also give boldness, as well as the survival points you are getting in these chases. Doing objectives and healing in the killer's terror radius could also award boldness on top of Objective/altruism score.

I agree. I'm a survivor main but when double BP comes around or I need bloodpoints, I have to play killer with BBQ and Chili. We're Gonna Live Forever just doesn't cut it most of the time and is not worth a perk slot.
