Hag Rework

Is there be a Hag rework in the future? nobody plays this killer and is difficult to actually win, or kill with the Hag. Placing traps doesn't help, because always one has a flashlight in his ass. 3 years nobody played this killer. And when the tome 4 was released, people play her. And learn the truth. She's weak. Very weak.

    I am one of those nobodies.

    I love Hag. She is the only killer I play when I want to actually PVP.

    If you see me in Bunny Legion suit, I am playing for fun.

    Please do not touch my hag! She's fine the way she is you just have to play very differently. Also with flashlights adapt don't put traps where flashlight survivors can see. She's my main and I have like no problems with her.

    Hag is a top 3 killer when played correctly. She is one of my 3 mains and I have been playing her since 2017. She needs no buffs or rework, as a good hag will always dominate.

    She's a strong killer, she just doesn't fit my play style... and I hate being short in this game.

    Watch some of Space Coconut's games. Hag is actually in a good spot. She has a low pick rate but the people who are really good with her get plenty of kills. She doesn't need a rework. After Nurse and Billys "rework" we all know that term really means nerf. Besides I'm sure Spirit and Huntress are next. The greedy survivor mains won't be satisfied until they are playing against bots.

    nurse and billy may have been "reworked" but so were freddy, doc + LF

    I hate nothing more than playing as her, but she is completely fine. She dont really need any buffs or nerfs.

    Leave hag alone! She is fine and strong but without being to much. She isn't often picked because she has a specific playing style

    She’s really good and she also has some really good add ons.

    The only rework I’d consider is a 8m trap exclusion zone around the hooked survivor

    I've noticed a pattern. If the devs rework a weak killer that killer gets better. However every time they rework an already strong killer, that killer gets weaker.

    doc, freddy and LF needed a rework. Nurse+Billy were perfectly fine. They just needed to remove some of their add ons.

    Hag is literally the best killer in the game. She doesn’t have to chase, she doesn’t need to loop, she can be “chasing” all four survivors at once, she is arguably better than nurse, but she doesn’t have punishment like nurse does. Don’t chase with her, change your play style, pretend you’re a spider.

    I'm so glad someone understands the true playstyle of hag. Placing your "web" of traps like a spider. Most people don't understand this.

    If I want to sweat, I’ll play GF or Freddy, but if I want to chill and still feel like I’m getting bp worth my time, I’ll play hag, the only killer imo that you can just wait for survivors to come to you, it’s great.

    Hag can be amazing in the right hands. She's not a pick up and go killer like others. She requires some setup, and once she has that, you're off. Many survivors forget that you can just crawl over traps and that's Hag's biggest strength. Along with add-ons, she can be insane to go against. She's one of my favourites to VS and it is a real shame you don't see her much anymore.

    Actually Hag is consistently ranked by Killers, Survivors, neutrals and Dev's statistics as one of the strongest Killers in the whole game, nobody plays her because she is boring to play as but that doesnt make her weak in any way.

    I think Hag power is one of the few things where all 4 sides agree.

    Red rank Hag main here. The only times I don't get a 4k is against super coordinated swf that know how to deny her power and force a chase but if you're smart with her trap placement and know the maps and popular travel points it makes it pretty easy to surprise them and snow ball.

    I have never seen anyone who knows how to play Hag say she is trash and needs a rework. On the contrary, the people who know how to play her, always agree she is not only powerful, but strategic and balanced. No one can even name an addon she has that needs work.

    It will be a sad day if they ever touch her.

    Hag is perfectly fine, when you don't play her in the obvious meme manner of putting 6 traps at the base of a hook.

    If you play survivor often or are a killer who is decent at predicting moves you can trap all sorts of places that survivors often run to thinking their safe. Most survivors are smart enough to know to crouch walk to the hook or crouch immediately when they get off the hook, especially when they see you placing the traps right in front of them.

    If you play against me as hag, i'll get you when you think you're safe, might even fake draw a few markers around the hook base to make you waste your time getting to and from the hook.

    Hag has a LOT of versatility as she is, please don't touch my twiglet, she's the only killer im reasonably decent at!!

    Hag is one of the few best killers in-game but she's more like a spider. You trap area's then funnel your prey into them for downs. You hook then trap your prey for trapping area's around the hooked for a second survivor, trapping obvious travel points and escape routes. Its really fun to guess where a survivor will come and go and smack them just to watch them run into the rest xD
