What's your opinion on hook grabs?

Or the ability for killer to grab someone saving a hooked survivor. I've heard some people say it just helps killer camp.

    Grabs are super rare in general. I've seen vids where the animation for grabs happen and then don't go through but it still locks the killer lol. There's actually counterplay against grabbing anyways.

    BS against camping killers, just fine in any other instance.

    Though would be more consistent if they required them to be injured first like window grabs. Gens should require injured too.

    Lets do like in Identity V then.

    Because of your witty idea to remove grabs, Survivors are now by default ( no warnings) exposed when performing any action or vault.

    What? Were you expecting the removal of grabs to be without balance consequences or compensations?

    Alternatively, why is healing/mending not also a grabbing option too?

    I don't want to remove grabs

    This thread is only about hook grabs which I also don't want to be removed. Just want to know what people think about them. I'm assuming most people including survivor mains don't care about them since they're not that common.

    To be honest, the system could be a little more aggressive. It's a bad idea to save a camped survivor in the first place, so making it more dangerous to fake an unhook and get away with the farm thanks to perks would be nice.

    They should be fixed to actually even be possible. I hear people that don’t play killer complain about its existence. What they don’t realize is most of the time it cancels mid animation and gives a free save anyways.
