Grabs NEED to be fixed

I've lost countless games due to people abusing the grab bug. They start an action, wait for me to try and grab, then cancel it to lock me into the animation. Over and over, whether it's a gen or hook I've seen this ######### abused constantly. I think it's a serious issue when even Fog Whisperers are staying as far away from attempting grabs as possible because of how broken it is right now. It blows my mind how it's not been fixed yet

    It wouldn't be so bad if the game mechanics actually functioned properly. It feels like they left the code exactly the same as when killer was the host, which results in some very fucky interactions

    I've dealt with this a few times. I just try to avoid grabbing.

    What needs to happen is a new check on the server side. Confirm the beginning of the action against the killer, and cancelling your action as survivor does nothing.

    For me it feels like I've been robbed of grabs more times than I've gotten grabs.

    Maybe try mashing the grab button? I've heard it works, but I've yet to have a situation where I can try it out.

    Grabs are screwed over both ways: I've had plenty of times where I let go of the gen or jumped out of a locker only to be grabbed.

    Hit detection in this game really needs a work over. Too many times I've had hits go through when they shouldn't have, or been hit when I'm already on the other side of the pallet/window and have taken a couple steps.

    I had a match recently where, twice, I started a grab animation (once on a pallet and once on a gen) but the survivor still got away...bad feeling.

    I agree - grabs are terrible from both sides. Sometimes I get sneaky grabs with Wraith or Pig, only to be cancelled out of the animation half way and the survivor has already run far away. It feels really bad cause you just lost a free hook on someone. And from the survivor side, sometimes it feels like I should have already finished my vault animation but I get grabbed from the other side of the window. Just another issue with dedicated servers I guess
