Hook vacuums.

Hey guys?, What are you doing about hook vacuums? Because everytime I get hooked, I'll have the wiggle meter full but get denied, because suddenly the killer had to just press a button and then get sucked over to hook the survivor.

    Hell, even if its not a vacuum I got a wiggle bar to 100% sometime last week but still got hooked. If it's mid animation and your character is not yet on the hook, it should still count as wiggling out.

    Vacuums also happen for unhooking, gens, and exit gate doors. I've been with friends who say they let go but get pulled off regardless. Usually this happens because of vacuums (or the game just lags/doesn't register they let go).

    Vacuums and crap like this need to get fixed for real.

    The "hook vacuum" you are experiencing isnt really a vacuum at all. Its just the Killer aligning with the hook for the hooking animation. This "hook vacuum" wouldnt be a thing if Killers were allowed to hook Survivors from any angle, like how Survivors can unhook you from any side.

    Even if you changed this, there would still be people complaining about not wiggling out. It doesnt matter if you think you wiggled out, because the Killer made it to the "hook detection area" before you managed to escape.
