Grabs (especially unhook grabs) are broken

It happens more and more that I have the chance to grab a survivor, I see the animation start and then suddenly it transitions to an attack. This is especially annoying when survivors rush to the hook knowing you can't stop them from saving someone because in that situation grabbing is literally impossible (also thanks to the last change to the unhook animation) unless you have Save The Best For Last. You can trade hooks, sure, but I've seen many situations when that doesn't stop a coordinated group to escape, especially in the basement (!!!) where you can have 3 people hooked and end up with just one.
I understand that the last change to the unhook animation was introduced to help against campers, but I feel survivors are abusing this to get free saves, and that kind of situation kills totally the mood of the game for me because as killer I feel powerless: I have the mean to stop them, but for some reason I can't use it.
I honestly think grabs (and especially unhook grabs) should be looked at because right now they're kind of a joke.

    Hatch grab, vaulting grab... I was surprised that I got a gen grab (with spirit btw) because all of them are pretty much broken because when i got the grab the gen blew up during the blow up animation is when I got the grab..... animation counts as them still working on the gen?

    There does seem to be more of an issue with grabs, getting some you shouldn't and missing some you should. I was attributing it just to either fps issues or the p2p lag since the update.

    Yeah, this happens to me on Xbox A LOT as well.
    For me it is always when they are vaulting over a pallet.
