Killer Power Charge affecting movement speed change?

Okay, I can understand why you would need to slow the killer down when they're charging up their power, for balance reasons (obviously), but... can it be reduced? Like instead of making the killer 25% slower (for example, i dont actually know the percentage they are slowed) why not make them 15% slower?

Something like that. And so add-ons to their powers could just make it so that the killer can walk normal speed or even faster when charging up.


I bring this up for Huntress & Plague, seeing as survs can crouch and loop against the huntress to avoid hatchets, and the plague's power not hitting survs even tho you see on the killer's camera that it should hit, a reduced speed handicap would come in handy.

And no, we shouldnt need to run ruin or bamboozle or any other perk to slow the game down to be able to catch up to survs.

If you're in red ranks and have no perks you're basically screwed with these two killers. Survs are still able to loop killers without any perks, and they can rush through the gens in 3 minutes if you're still on a chase.

This goes to any killer that needs a buff in that regard. Im just thinking about these two killers cuz I've played them recently.

    because crouching to avoid getting hit by hatchets/infected is the whole point of countering them imo, also wraith would be too good, so would bubba, billy , etc

    Ofcourse! But speeding the killer up will make survs have to move away from the area and not stay in the same loop. Idk it was just a thought

    @DudeDelicious I refuse to play Plague unless I have that Uncommon Potion for Purge effectiveness, I can play with or without the movement speed add-on but I prefer it. Playing without the effectiveness add-ons feels like it takes too long to break them.
