Struggle meter buffed?
Was it designed to basically not let survivors get off shoulders with the changes they made awhile ago to move all the hooks closer together and then make it take like 15 to 18 seconds to struggle off the killers shoulders without any perks making a difference. basically base struggle time.

Struggling is primarily to keep killers from just keeping you on their shoulders, you're not supposed to regularly be able to get free.

@23flash You're supposed to have your teammates take hits and stall time. Also, if you are less than 10 steps away, I doubt you'll wiggle off anyway unless EVERYONE takes a hit, which most survivors will not risk themselves going down. So it's fine. I've gotten off and so have some of my friends by taking hits if far enough from a hook.

Mhm, struggle time has not increased for a long time now. You sure there wasn't anything else that effected it?

i havent heard of any wiggle time increases...
but your assumption that it was designed to not let survivors get off the killers shoulder is correct. in fact the whole point of wiggeling is to restrict the killers possibility to select the hook you will end up on and to not have you basemented every single time.
if there were spots on the map where survivors could just wiggle off of the killers shoulder, guess where every single survivor would go down? if they can reach it, exactly that place (looking at you, gideon meatplant). this would only encourage slugging, which is a lot more unfun for the survivors than just being hooked and killed.
TL;DR: i know nothing of wiggle time increases, but wiggeling is also not ment to free you from the killer, but restrict their movement.

Also base struggle off is I believe 12 seconds.

ahh ok for sure just wondering. I just noticed that before the decrease in distance between the hooks update you could struggle off the shoulders in less time than you can now

It's been 16 seconds since the game released, there was never a change to that.
