Struggling Mechanic
Struggling in this game is absolutely pointless as it currently stands. It needs to be at about 90% of what it is now to even feel remotely worth attempting. It's also artificially limited low to stop people macroing obviously but I think that bar to what that is needs to be raised slightly. I often hit the limit of what you are allowed by the game to do. Please start looking into this or keep it as it is but make the effects of the struggle more severe. Anything to make it not totally worthless.

If you're talking about wiggling while being carried, you are not meant to be able to escape the killer's grasp after a chase unless some of the following things happen.
-Your teammates are trying to help you escape - taking or baiting hits, bodyblocking, sabotaging the hook the killer is going for, et cetera.
-The closest hooks in the vicinity have been destroyed or are occupied and the map layout makes it hard to reach the next best hooks.
-The killer dropped you to pressure someone else and then picked you back up.
-You got slugged for a while and you're running Flip Flop.
-The killer got lost or is overly ambitious on where they're taking you.
Wiggling was added to prevent killers from being able to take the survivor to the basement from anywhere on the map. You're not meant to escape on your own. A chase and a down is supposed to result in a hook unless the killer gets greedy or the survivors make a stand against it.

Killer's can take you to pretty much any hook in the vicinity as it stands now with multiple mistakes along the way. The struggle doesn't even affect them.

And they are supposed to be able to. Wiggling is there so the killer can't take you across the map to the basement and trap you in there for the rest of the game. It's not supposed to prevent the killer from taking you to a nearby hook.

Run boil over

I escape all the time, and I sometimes run boil over and escape even more often. Struggle mechanics are good as they are, however boil over needs a slight buff to blocking the aura reading of killers.

You guys don’t play enough if you don’t struggle free regularly in solo q
1 -
when the killer has downed you, you have been outplayed and they deserve the hook, not you getting another chance for free

Dude, I have been playing for atleast 7+ matches a day this week. That's basically 49 matches. And you're saying you escape every single time?
0 -
Didn’t say anything like that, I said regularly, and all the time. Probably once out of every 50 pickups without boil over, and once out of 25-30 with it.

That's not regularly then is it?

Yes, it is if you play a lot.
