I can't believe Houndmaster is still like this

I recently played two Houndmaster matches and I won both, but I just didn't like it because it felt so frustrating. She has been out for one year, I can't believe she is in this state.

In both game my dog got stuck while pathing in Search Mode at least once each, and multiple times each when I was just walking around. (Why can't you make it just that tje power just works if the dog is considered to be with you?) Didn't help that both were maps with generators at different elevations which makes aiming search an absolute pain. I haven't played her all year tbh but I thought you did at least something to make her feel better, but she still feels as buggy and frustrating as she did on release.

    Everytime I see a post about Houndmaster, something in my heart cries. I really love her (she's in my top 5) but in many cases, she feels so miserable due to her bugs. Last Tuseday I played a match with her and got the slowdown-bug for three minutes (you move a lot slower than 4.6 and need to wait it out). Sometimes, the dog also has a delay after sending him out which also feels so bad. I really love her because she has a great design and her power is so fun to use but these consistent bugs remove all of the fun. Then, it also feels like the developers don't give her enough love because despite fixing some bugs, she has plenty in the game and they also give her zero cosmetics - her first cosmetic was the Bloodmoone one which was time limited. Lastly, her addons are still pretty bad (e.g. Even though the devs said they will rework the Knotted Rope addon, it is still unchanged).

    This month, the Houndmaster turns one year and I hope with the upcoming PTB (or at least with the live release of PTB) we will a lot of bug fixes for her.

    True frustration comes in high ranks, when every survivor camps pallet to get free stun or dog or you. :-D
