Would you trade Hag move speed for eraseable traps?

If the Hag's traps could be erased by crouch-walking over-top of them before getting a prompt to erase them (taking roughly the same amount of time as disarming the Trapper's traps), would you be okay with the Hag moving at the 115% default killer move speed?

    I feel like it would make her too week and exactly like Trapper.

    I honestly like this idea. One of biggest letdowns of Hag is that she simply cannot chase a survivor due to her low movement speed. Raising it would diversify her playstyle and give her another option. The nerf of erasing the traps wouldn't bother her too much, since unlike Trapper, her set up time is much faster and she doesn't need to be so accurate with the placements of her traps. Also, survivors already can get rid of her traps whether by using a flashlight on them or by popping them when she is caring a survivor to a hook. I would like to note that I think that trap killers should be rewarded for hiding their traps. If you found it and can't destroy it, it stops being a surprise to just become a bother and an environmental hazard.

    Currently, I think you can erase them with a flashlight. I'm not sure if she'd be stronger or weaker if people had a default way of doing it in exchange for more speed.

    No, she would be a lot weaker and if they traded in her speed when she was using her traps her lunges wouldn't be enough to injure a survivor yet even chase them.

    I think this is a bad idea. It changes the essence of Hag and makes her more of a Trapper. Flashlights can be used to break her traps. Hag also uses her traps for movement rather than relying on raw movement speed.

    Traps already get erased with flashlights and if you exceed the limit of how many traps you can place the oldest will be moved. So she already has erasable traps. So she already has erasable traps even if it's not how you explained it. I don't think it's a good idea to give her another way of having traps erased.

    unhooking someone is impossible when theres 10 traps on the hook and you dont have a flashlight

    It's possible to unhook, but someone is almost guaranteed to go down shortly after
