Deathslinger holding 's'

At this point, I'm sure that we've all seen it. Once gunslinger has a survivor speared, all they have to do is hold 's' and the survivor goes rocketing toward him at 110% ms. While this does maintain the same distance between him and the survivor, it also severely restricts any kind of other survivor intervention or your ability to try to get an obstacle between yourself and him.

While as a killer he is far from top tier, this literally takes the fun interaction baked into the mechanic itself. I would recommend either the same ms penalty be applied to backwards movement as there is to forward movement or the cause walking backwards as the gunslinger to cause similar strain on the chain as an object obstructing the chain.



(after this fix is made, please buff gunslinger a touch) :)

    Sure, but if Deathslinger cannot move backwards while reeling then survivors should not be able to move to one side or the other while being reeled. If there's going to be way too much room for other survivors to jump in and make easy chain breaks then survivors being reeled should not also get the option to maneuver behind objects; that's too many options for them to break the chain and the killer may as well be playing Legion instead. At least then they would move at 115%.
