Sabotaging Hooks

Killers dont usually have to worry about hooks being sabotaged because they come back so fast and jake is crying in the basement so hooks should have an extra minute or 2 for hooks to be down so people like our new buddy jesus perk breakdown and will help countribute against gen rush

    Serious, skilled saboteurs can still pull off this mechanic.

    I sabotaged over half a map with tier 1, then popped em 1 after the other on last gen. This made for a very sad legion with only the basement for an option. Sabo works fine, its all in the execution.

    Of course but i think it needs a bit of a boost for average players

    I enjoy Saboing hooks and I rarely get much trouble from it as Killer. But I never thought as a Survivor that I would get hurt by a dirty saboing Ace. I still think about that ass every time someone mentions buffing Sabotage.

    Why do you want to make the game more beginner-friendly? There are not many things in DbD that actually require skill or timing but effective saboing is one of them.

    No offense but such suggestions are exactly the stuff that makes a game boring, if you can play it without any brain activity required. I don't know why people want this, if it was for me they could make everything skill dependent, even dropping pallets or hooking survivors.

    So more balancing around rank 20?

    Maybe killers don't have to worry about it, but they all seem to take it personally when I do it :/

    I wouldn't say they take it personal, but you are damaging their ability to score points. Naturally they want to stop you.

    Not sure how you generally do it, but 99 percenting a hook, then breaking it last second while they have a survivor ready to put on that hook could put you higher on the priority list easily.

    Please keep in mind that a game needs to be balanced around its top players. That does apply to all video games and DbD can't be an exception, of course.

    During the sabo meta, all survivors cried how annoying it is to be slugged and bleeding out on the floor.
    Did you change your mind?

    Do you ever encountered a no mither swf sabo squad? They already can make your killer gameplay a hell. This doesn't need a buff, it already got buffed recently.
    Imagine the killer can deny you from doing gens for 2 minutes.
    Both are objectives, denying doing them how SWF's can do it is unhealthy for DbD

    Test it on your own.
    Start a round as killer and make it your goal to slugg all 4 survivors. Only then you proceed to hook them.
    Watch how they react and learn
