I learned how to deal with survivors flashing my traps by bringing franklins and/or hiding traps if the map permits. But now every survivor with eyes can swipe away my traps and it only takes a few seconds. Hag is a slow killer. So, she kind of NEEDS her power. I have played many matches now on bright maps where from far away I can just WATCH the survivors wiping away my work and my power (which is supposed to compensate for how slow I am). The time it takes to destroy a trap needs to be significantly increased. Or put a long cooldown on survivors being able to do it. Change please. This isn't too bad on dark maps for obvious reasons but on any bright map I am just watching my web be removed around the map as I am building it and I am left to be a relatively useless slow killer that can't catch up. I have tried to place my traps more hidden but then they become less effective when I am placing them way to the side instead of where I need them to be in order to be an effective trap. Typically, I keep up pretty well as hag against higher MMR survivors since I main her and have dedicated a lot of time playing her and learning her strategy. But this isn't really possible if every survivor is now able to quickly remove your power AND you are slow. Huntress is slow but survivors can't lock her out of accessing lockers, she keeps her power. It's frustrating to be slow AND have your power being wiped away.

My requests for change are to add a long cool down on how often a single survivor can swipe away a trap, increase the amount of time it takes to remove a trap by a significant amount of time (like destroying Demogordon's portals), or please just revert back to the flashlight burn and remove this mechanic.

Hag is now completely powerless (literally) against a team that has at least one single person swiping away a trap once I turn away. I now feel more similar to trapper but I'm actually slower. At least hag walks around with her entire kit. Trapper has to collect his power (buff trapper too please). Idk. Please make a change to the swiping away the traps mechanic.

    I also just realized this probably belongs better in the Feedback and Suggestions section. I presented why I would like a change and I did give a few ideas for change.

    Agreed except Demopuppy gets a notification that his portal is being destroyed, and he has the ability to teleport through it as it's being removed and stop survivors from completing the process. Hag can't do either.

    I personally refuse to play her, but I faced her twice now as survivor and was able to single-handedly destroy her. I actually gave up on wiping her traps in one of the games because I had a Steven with Urban who made it his goal to remove her web. The killer gave up that match and went in a corner AFK

    Just as I predicted would happen.

    Hag is now only powerful against survivors that don't know how to face her or wipe her traps.
