Why is Blight's POV so low?

As the title says, why is Blight's POV so goddamn low? It's really annoying when you're chasing a survivor and you can't see anything because of your camera height, mainly in loops which the survivor can see you.

This is an example :

In comparison to Spirit or Hag, his camera is way smaller, and he is taller than both. It feels really punishing when you can't see the survivor because of your camera.

    Hopefully we get an official answer from the devs with the coming Q&A

    Honestly I have fun with him but yeah his POV is ridiculous and it screws me over quite a bit in matches. I understand he's hunched over but he still stands taller than hag. Its like they want to make things even more difficult for killers

    The best guess I’ve heard is that it makes it easier to see smaller objects to bounce off of. Since so many people dislike it, we should be allowed to choose between the current POV and a raised POV for Blight.

    plague had a similar bug for about 3-4 months before they fixed her. Killer issues / bugs aren't really a priority. I imagine it is a bug, hopefully within the next few weeks it will be acknowledged and hopefully this year we can have a fix, but it's probably unlikely.

    Agreed. Especially in corn levels, you're basically screwed using Blight. All the survivor has to do is crouch walk and you've now lost them as marks are the only way to see a dang survivor in there with his ankle biter view...

    My assumption is he's taller but he's crouched down (like a hunchback) so the POV displays accordingly but it really sucks :(

    This is one of the reason why I haven't touch blight after playing him once, his POV makes me sick.

    It's way too low for him.

    I believe it's to make bumping into smaller objects feel better. Like imagine running at a barrel it will feel like you crashed with you knees.

    Don't make the camera any less annoying though :l

    The next Archive is with Blight, isn't it?

    This one is going to suck so freaking much. Like...this POV absolutely sucks. You can't see ######### unless you're right on top of the survivor. Any map with grass longer than knee high and the survivors might as well be the damn Predator because they just disappear...
