Hangman's Trick Thoughts
Hi All
I did originally post this on the Steam forums but figured this may be worth bring up here also
Just been watching some going ons with the PTB and can't help but notice the go with Hangman's Trick
From what I understand, it's going to be changed from what it does in the PTB as it's not working as the Devs intended.
However... I honestly can't help but think that it's almost something that would massively benefit DBD for both sides
Killers actually get given a decent perk
Survivors coincidentally have a perk that if they were to come up against it, actually would actively discourage a killer from both camping and tunnelling
If a killer sees that other survivors are nowhere near the soon to be hooked survivor, then if he/she has any sense at all won't be hanging around
It also provides everyone with the killer/survivor interaction increase that the devs have said they wanted so dearly
the counters to it are also numerous... if a killer is carrying someone, run one way until hooked and then once hooked, bolt in the opposite direction
It's genuinely a fantastic opportunity that has been found, albeit unintentionally so
Both sides win from this
The only ones that wouldnt win from this would be those that either
a.) camp/tunnel and say they don't
or
b.) hook save rush and make equally silly plays and say they don't
These are the players that wouldn't gain anything from this as you've pretty much been found out lol
I'd honestly welcome this from either side... both facing and using the perk
Any thoughts on this one?
This isn't an invitation for salt throwing... I just would like to see if others feel the same or if there's something that I've perhaps missed on the topic

"...It's not working as the devs intended."
I hope they realize that the new sabo isn't as well.
Imo new hangman is a slightly better BBQ, only because you can see near you as well, not just far away survivors.

Indeed, I just think it's a fantastic opportunity for something to be finally in that actively encourages a non-toxic play-style

I just dont see the issue with it at all.

I think it shouldnt have unlimited range. Would nerf it to 56 meters or something

Whilst I don't have an issue with it as is, if it meant having it brought in, I'd be fine with it
