Increase Hook Timer
Hello,
if you slow down Gen Speeds, you also NEED to increase the Hook Timer. You made camping stronger with just increasing the time to fix Generators.
The Basekit-BT Change will not change that. And the DS-Nerf will help even less.
So you should increase the Hook Timers by roughly the same amount you increased the Gen Speed.

I agree with this, increasing the hook timer will not matter to a killer who is not camping 99% of time.

Agreed. Time where a survivor is on the hook is time when they are not doing anything. Same reason slugging is so effective. Hook timer should just be base increased. There's absolutely no anti-camping measures included in this update that discourage facecamping. It only discourages tunneling off hook which is good in itself.

What about the Off The Record perk?

Hook time absolutely should be increased from 60s to 80s per hook stage as anti-camp measure

Yes, this exists. But it is a Perk and they changed a game mechanic (time to repair a generator), so they should add another game mechanic (increased Hook timer).
Off the Record does nothing against a face-camping Bubba for example. At worst, it is a trade for Bubba.
I dont know about 80 seconds. But if they increase the total time needed to repair 5 Gens by 50 seconds, they should increase the total Hook timers of all Survivors by roughly the same amount.
So 65-67 per Hook stage would be something. I mean, if you want to nerf facecamping really hard, you can increase the Hook Timers dramatically. But I am more aiminig to make it roughly the same as currently.

100% agree. I get why they increased gen times and I'm fine with that, but hook timers absolutely need to be longer if this is going to happen. We really don't need to buff facecamping.

Increase stage 1 timer at the very least. An extra 10 seconds wouldn't be crazy
stage 1 to stage 2 is way more important than stage 2 to death ironically because stage 1 is what buys you the most time and let's you eat another hook later

Generator times didn't even need increasing

Previous Gen Speed = 80s
Hook Timer = 60s
Ratio - 75%
At the VERY least, they should make it ~68 seconds as 90 * 0.75 = 67.5

It definitely should be more. Camping should be nerfed, not buffed or kept the same it is now. Killers are getting great buffs to help them deal with their frustrations, survivors should get the same.
A hook timer of 80 seconds would be great. Perhaps even 90.

The fact is that chase potential has been buffed as well and DS took a huge hit, that OTR doesn't make up for. Chases are shorter and increasingly so as resources are consumed. It's gonna be safe to substantially increase the hook timer. If I put pressure on your teammates, they will have to rescue and the timer will be cut short anyway. And since I can down faster, I can achieve a net gain.
Substantial hook time is realistically the only incentive to leave the hook without having to rework game mechanics. And with increased gen times, it would be fair to killers as well.
