    I just don't understand, why survivors can block the prompt to hook someone, but killers can't block the prompt to rescue someone.
    Also, it doesn't make sense. Normal killer would kick the survivors anyway.

    This was once the case when survivor couldn’t unhook from every angle. It was a massively abused problem by killers. They just stand in front of survivor and did nothing until he died.

    If you mean that you hit 3 and then you release the on you’re holding? If that’s even enough, you have 4 injured survivors and you must be very bad if you get at least not 1 kill. It’s not abused it’s a tactic. You have to risk a lot to get at least and that’s not guaranteed 1 free survivor. I had enough games were I wiped out the whole team with this tactic. So stop Body blocking would affect me negative.

    Stop complaining. OMG.

    The hook is fine the way it is. 1 way to hook. 1 way to body block...

    swivel unhooks. It works just stop crying.

    Hooking is not fine. It feels really weird when you slide in front of the hook to deliver yout victim and its really glitchy when survivors bodyblock the hook (in fact they can prevent you from hooking)
    Instead killers should be able to hook from all angles, just the same mechanic that was introduce to make facecamping impossible

    Just take a minute, think about what you said and imagine what will happen if killers can hook from every angle.

    Hm... Killers will be able to hook from every angle, thus making it impossible for Survivors to block the hook prompt but still able to bodyblock on the way to the hook?

    Yes exactly. Means hooking becomes a no brainer. That’s what make the good difference between a pro and a average killer. A pro killer doesn’t lose his prey on his way to hook. I have already to many killer comrades play with me on rank 1... like it’s a free reward for everyone playing enough. Also that’s not all about hook from free angle.

    If you want it to be "fair", also give directionnal hooks to killers then ?

    lol wut? you wanted vacuum pallet deleted. doing the same to hooks is just fair. hooks are not directional, thats why they are hooks. do you want a carousel or what?

    btw iam main killer.

    Hooks are directional for survivors, and not for killers. That's all I say.
    If you want "real fairness" without second thinking about actual mecanics, then yeah, removing the vacuum would be nice, and adding directional hooks for killers too.

    no why? why would that be fair? look how many hooks you have on map. if you cant get a hook this way youre definately doing something wrong.

    That's just applying your logic of "fairness". "If you remove X for survivor, remove it for killers too", so I just say "if you allow X for survivors, allow it for killers too".
    If you have trouble accepting that, you're kinda biased in your reasoning, and you just want to nerf one side, simply. There's no "fairness" in that.

    ok and why should they get carousel hooks? if i follow your logic survivors should have something thats smiliar to it? even when thats not my logic, i would just prefer to balance it at all and that means it have to be a equal game experience for both sides. i think killers have a safe 95% chance to hook someone. no killer is entilted to free kills. we have to work for it.

    Unless the survivor is afk where do you think Killers get "free kills"? Did you even read this before posting it?

    Hook blocking + flashlight works really well for getting everyone out alive. Maybe those survivors you encountered were not as good. 4 injured survivors are not as bad as it sounds. Not with SC, insta heal medkit, etc.

    You should still get some time to wiggle, even for that .2 seconds.
