Should Hag Receive a Nerf?
There’s been some frustration around the forums about Hag, which has led *some* people in believing she needs some sort of nerf. (Mainly around trapped hooks).
I think it’s quite ludicrous in all honesty. I get it can be annoying for solo players, but there is still plenty of counter play. (I.e flashlights, just crouch.) I don’t see how you nerf trapped hooks without nerfing her power entirely (which would kill her and myself) or killing trapped hooks in general which would really hurt her.
So, back to the original question. Should she receive a nerf?

No, she needs buffs
She doesn't need any buff. I am just sick of all these unnecessary killer nerfs (only spirit nerf was fine). Toolboxes and gen coop speed must be nerfed next, hag is balanced.

No, she’s fine where she’s at
Hag is pretty fair, I personally get destroyed by her but can still admit she's fair.

she needs to be changed to be less frustrating to playing against, i'd like also more changing in her playstyle, you always proxcampin' targeting different survivors, that's why you need a specific build to make her shine.. but she get destroyed by good teams.. what i'd do? honestly i don't know... maybe give her 115% movement speed but gives her the abiliy to place less traps( only 7 ), but you can't place traps around 16 metres from the hook and you can teleport to them whenever you want just by look at them pressing the secondary button abilty, each teleport has a 20 seconds cooldown....

Yes, but only a certain one
Hag is currently the least used killer in the game. She also has one of the highest kill ratings, though, which leads to 2 possible points
- She has a small, but dedicated fanbase
- People don't like playing her because she's slow and has a boring playstyle
I'm going to go with mainly the second point, but not denying the first outright.
Personally, I despise how many Hag players place their traps virtually at my feet, or close enough to me that all paths are blocked and I can't get away from the hook without being tunnelled off it. And I'm NOT changing my overall playstyle to include an item that I can hardly use normally. Considering that Devour Hope, one of her teachables, is also proximity based and that limitation is almost ignored by her power.
From MY experiences, we're not calling for nerfs to destroy her, just that there's more counterplay against all traps so that we don't get trap proxy-camped or trapper impossible escape outside of specific build tailoring to target specific killers, especially the one with the lowest pick rate.

Oh #########, how can I undo my vote.
I forgot the Hags that use Make your choice, that ######### is annoying. She is fine, except when she can teleport to any trap she wants and uses make your choice.
If anyone has come up with any counterplay, please share.

Hag is fine but annoying to play against due to the potential to go back to the hook and use MYC to get the unhooker on the hook right when someone just got off the hook. It's annoying but fine. Of course for some reason not a lot of people play her so I don't actually have a lot of experience playing against her.

Maybe make it so she can’t place traps within a certain radius of a hooked person. I mean the hag is nothing more than a long range camper.

I don't think if I could call it a nerf but... her jumpscares. Some people might have heart issues and well, it could lead to their death. I know, it's an "horror game" but still I think a disclaimer before the game starts it's in order.

I definitely disagree. She’s so much more than a “long range camper”. Shes one of the best snowball killers in the game if not, THE best. She’s the best defensive killer in the game, great at anti loop, great with pressure as a whole, has great perk synergy, has a high skill cap, isn’t add on dependent....

She’s good, but many people don’t play as her.

Yeah she’s a camper. Never met one who doesn’t camp and go all out to protect her hexes. It’s a great killer for a camper because they can hide behind just playing as she is designed, but in reality she appeals to the campiest of campers.

You can’t dispute any of what I said because it’s all true.
