The issue with survivors

Just played 3 matches as the trapper and the majority of the game consisted of me slowly chasing after someone who held W and ran all around the entire map, not even trying to loop. The sad thing is that you cant do anything about it and once you hit them they get a burst of speed so then you have to chase them for another two minutes. It mainly sucks when gens are getting done left and right but when you try to apply pressure everyone just holds W and runs without the risk of even getting hit by the killer for at least a few minutes. Make the survivor speed slower or make bloodlust better or something because you cant really catch up to someone who holds W and doesnt even stop at pallets or try to loop you anywhere in the map.

    Ok there is alot here. First in a straight line chase with no looping there is no possible way you are not catching them. I play trapper alot and have never seen this as a thing. you need better Gen slow down perks but I agree map pressure with trapper can be iffy at best. The killer/survivor speeds are as they have always been and it works. If you cant catch a survivor who is not looping and just holding w then you are doing something wrong. Huntress, hag , and deathslinger are slower killers and I can still catch up and M1 a survivor who is just running and not looping.

    It's only possible if you are cutting the angles in very weird way (significantly worse than survivors). Iirc if survivor and default 4.6 m/s killer (trapper included) run following exactly the same path, it takes him precisely 20s to catch up after the first hit (assuming no stbfl, pwyf, etc.).
