So we all have seen it time and time again. More and more killers have been slugging to make sure no one gets out alive (whether it be from exit gate or hatch). Now I see more Dc-ing because of it (in which we have to pay the penalty for crappy game play.

    You do have to realize that slugging is a feature of the game, and not really an exploit. There are already perks that prevent slugging like boon exponential, unbreakable, etc. This is like camping where you do have perks to help, but they still don't really do anything since you could be hit right after a kobie or in 2nd just not being able to do anything, but with slugging there isn't stages to it so you can use any perks that help at any time (besides a boon if its not set up already). Killers slugging sometimes backfire too so it's not like it's always guaranteed, and a well used unbreakable could allow you to turn the game. You also are not forced to DC it's just what you want to instead of waiting, I get it but if you don't want a penalty then just don't DC.

    Well, here's some insights to take in. Expo can only work if other people haven't cleansed all the totems, and Unbreakable can only be used once. But how many people like waiting around bleeding out for an ungodly amount of time? (taken there are no Expo totems and Unbreakable to pick yourself up). I bought this game to play, not just lay there. How is slugging a feature of the game.... then looping should be too. Yet the way looping was done has changed to accommodate the killers. Plus how many of those votes are from killer mains that slug because they feel like a challenge in a game is to much? Just saying.

    There are already many, many counters to slugging that exist.

    The hate of slugging is completely irrational. You can do way more on the ground than you can on the hook, that’s just facts. So slugging is objectively less boring than being on a hook. Slugging also gives you a potential second chance at life as well.

    The REAL reason people hate slugging is because it’s an ego check. It shows the killer feels confident he can down you again and they don’t like that. The only reason is because they just want the hook so they can remove themselves from the game as fast as possible and slugging denies their rage quit.

    I would always rather be slugged. If anything we need more slugging perks.
