    It's practically the same as being stunned as Killer to me.

    Granted you can still move, but it's so slow and you can't really do anything else.

    Terribly boring to me.

    I don’t care if killers do it to me but it isn’t the most fun thing.

    If it's a choice between being slugged and being hooked, I usually prefer being slugged. It's not exactly fun, but some killers do it to allow the match to continue longer or in place of sacrificing, and I appreciate that.

    If the killer is going for the 4k and I'm spending the full bleedout timer on the ground, that's never fun. I wish I could "concede" and leave my husk there, getting my points and moving on to a new match.

    As a survivor, do I like it? No, of course not. I don't think anyone likes crawling around on the ground and not playing the game.

    But I do understand why it's in the game. I get why, if I'm one of the last two survivors in the match, the killer downs me and then leaves me there. I do it too, depending on the situation. It's just part of the game.

    It sucks to be slugged but unless you are running at least 2 anti-gen perks you kind of have to.

    I think people forgot that they increased hook time by 40 seconds because of face camping. (This was when there was no BT and unhook from any direction.)

    2 minutes on the hook is to long. There is even a perk to pause it now too. I say revert it back to 40 seconds per state.

    There is no benefit to hooking a survivor as a killer. I can 4k by just downing someone and playing of alturism. I can't really play off unhooks unless I'm camping and even if I was there is BT, exhaustion reset, body blocking and more.

    If gens are going to be this fast and get done it 30 second sthem hooks should match too.

    as a survivor i basically dislike anything that makes me lose...

    like, i wont go around and party after getting killed, obviously xD


    i mostly dont really mind, however if the killer has been playing like a prick and then goes and slugs the 3rd survivor to deny me hatch, i dont feel like he really deserves the 4k...

    I don't think anyone will say "yes I enjoy cosplaying a mollusc", but I get why killers do it, cause I know why I do it when I play killer.

    Nope, feels kinda unfair. I wished Ash's flop perk was base survivor mechanic but you know...

    Sometimes killers will slug you as a form of mercy. Like if you're first found or if someone farms you. That way, they still get pressure while they're pursuing someone else.

    If I have tenacity and unbreakable.. I definitely don't mind.

    In fact they can leave me for awhile, I don't mind. 😎

    I don't like being slugged but I understand why killers do it, so I don't mind most of the time. If I don't feel like getting slugged, I'll put on anti-slugging perks to counter it.

    I enjoy cosplaying a mollusc. Especially a superfast mollusc with the ability to get up and run away whenever I feel like it.

    I like being slugged because it gives me the opportunity to use some of my favourite perks. And even if I don't have the perks equipped, it feels like a second chance. I lost the chase, but I didn't get punished with a hook, and now I can crawl away or recover and most likely be back on my feet soon enough, none the worse for wear.

    I dislike slugging in general, but it also depends on what stage of the game it's at for HOW MUCH I dislike it. If they're slugging for the 4k, screw them for using it to have an easy 4k. If they're doing it mid game and it wasn't tunneling(as in they didn't come directly back to the hook while staying JUST outside of TR range to slug me and chase the new survivor), then I don't mind it so much.

    The thing I hate the most about it is that I never get slugged when I play with Unbreakable X(

    Hello slugger, I would like to introduce my friends to you


    so right here is Tenacity


    And over here is unbreakable. He is very popular


    And over there is flip flop. A bit shy, but can surprise people sometimes.


    Oh and finally here is iron will. He is really quiet so be gentle

    Literally the same thing as being on the hook.

    I don't think anyone really like to be slugged or slug in general. The only reason I slug is just to be able to get a 4k if I can. If I don't think I can, or have BBQ, then I won't slug. At all.

    I love flip flop as a perk. It's saved me every time I've used it, and is surprisingly viable. It basically earned me the Adept Ash achievement. It's the only Ash perk I like.

    And I love the pic they have on it. A single wink saying: you got this.
