Unpopular Opinion: Wiggle Mechanic

Remove the wiggle mechanic entirely. About a dozen or so games played after today's patch, every time the killer has a survivor to a hook before the meter is even 1/4 full. It's become literally pointless moreso than it already was.

    Honestly it's super rare to wiggle out, it's literally a 1/5 chance of wiggling out the killer's grasp. The mechanic is fine but I think they should add some bloodpoints when you do attempt it.

    The wiggle mechanic is only supposed to disable the killer from bringing every survivor to the basement.
    It is not meant to be a free escape

    Working as intended

    If that were all then they can make it an automated timer instead wearing out everyone's keys. Yet another half-assed system that wasn't completely thought out.

    If you are too lazy to press a/d, then simply use a macro. Thats actually a bannable offense but you wont get banned beacuse their anti cheat is a joke

    I think they are going in the right direction especially now that sabotage is more effective and with hooks distance change. Even if there is one saboteur you have an higher chance to wiggle out. I think soon even wiggle would be good against mindless killers who road around with you in their shoulder if not already with these changes

    I don't think getting rid of wiggling is a good idea, but the way we do it... come on, smashing A-D is so stupid. 
    Same goes for hook struggle.
