Anyone else think she should whistle again if she doesnt send her dog out? Alot of them are abusing her whistling.

    No, that's called zoning which you can do with many powers. Calling it "abusing" is too much, they are faking their power to get a hit which they couldn't get if they used it or went for an M1.

    Houndmaster needs a lot of QOL and bugfixes. Dog stucking at pallets and windows instead of vaulting it is in game for months not even saying how long it took them to fix the gamebreaking basic attack bug that made her unplayable yet they didn't killswitch her. Feels like they only care about popular killers.

    As others have mentioned, this is just zoning, however you should note that snug (the dog) barks when being sent out, hence you should understand that the absence of that barking means that they are faking or charging power. This is also not a mechanic simply exclusive to houndmaster, so removing it would be unjust when nearly all the cast can do the same thing. The best way to counter this is to look at the killer and see if they are actually charging their power and then react accordingly.
