The hook sabotage epidemic
Lately a lot of survivors have been sabotaging hooks. As a survivor, you are supposed to hide, not run around going from hook to hook like they are collectibles.
They like to leave the hooks at 99% then sabotage when someone is on the killer's shoulders. This basically gives them a free escape and is worse than DS or MoM because it doesn't take skill or perk.
The developers should do something to curb this problem. Maybe let killers kick the hooks to reverse the sabotage progress.

I wish permanent hook breaks were back.
Just let the killers restore them in a few seconds and give us back slower but permanent hook breaks, please!

I've never had an issue with sabos because usually they don't have time to do gens so you just play the slug game

No. Considering everything else that is wrong with this game that is about the most ridiculous thing ever.

Imagine complaining about saboteur

You don't need saboteur to break hooks

Hangman trick would meta would be interesting and the game would be dead.

@ReikoMori Didn't kill the game in 2016 so that's a bit of an exaggeration.

An epidemic? I haven't had a single sabotaged Hook in ages. It's more likely people going for the Dismantled Achievement like I'm doing at the moment.
It's a niche strategy at best.

This is not a problem. It's a gameplay strategy.

They need to reduce or adjust the Hooks, the changes rendered Boil Over pretty pointless and Wiggle feels silly in most cases.

The wiggle duration and hook distance are just fine.
I can skip 2 hooks and hook the survivor on the 3rd one before they finish the wiggle bar

@mcNuggets Please no. That cancerous ######### belongs in the grave where it belongs.

In 2016 the game had only ever existed in that fashion and the game did almost die back then. Do it again now when people are much more aware of the fact was a dumb idea. People will vanish off to other 4v1 games since more exist now. Look at what exists in the game now with perks, items, and addons. Perma breaking hooks would be a garbage fire for both sides. Survivors would be absolutely a pain to each other and the killer. Time wasted on hook sabo across the map and players getting turned into snails would grind the game to a halt. For killers I'd expect to see a mass exodus or dc plague worse than what we have now. I'm not going back to dealing with no hooks.

I havent seen this epidemic. Maybe once or twice every ten games do I see people saboing. Usually its for the achievement or a daily rit. That said, I do on occasion when I play survivor run a sabo Jake build. Like camping or tunneling, saboing is a legit strategy.

There’s literally a hook every two feet even the highest level of boil over is useless unless you have a teammates help and if people are constantly doing hooks their not doing gens I don’t see a problem with it
