Twins changes suggestion from an actual Twins player

99% of suggested changes to Killers I see, especially to the Twins, are from people who don't play them and never will. These people do not understand the Twins at a fundamental level, what makes them appealing and what should or should not be changed to preserve that appeal.

With that in mind, future Twins changes should prioritise these four things. This are in descending order of priority.

1) Sort out the camping issue (both deliberate and accidental)

The biggest complaint I see about the Twins is how easily Victor can camp hooks, which is a complaint I fully agree with. You often find yourself doing by accident because usually once you down someone with Victor you leave him where you down the Survivor, which sometimes happens to be near the hook you want to use. You don't have time to switch to Victor, move him away and then switch back to Charlotte to hook the Survivor, especially if moving Victor away doesn't accomplish anything other than give the Survivors a chance to unhook.

You find yourself camping out of convenience even if you don't want to, and Twins players who actually WANT to camp with Victor can do so very easily. This should be Priority 1 for changes. Otz, myself and many others have advocated the following change: when a Survivor is hooked within 16 metres of an idle Victor, Victor immediately returns to Charlotte as if he was kicked. This would be a big nerf to camping Twins and a net buff to chasing Twins since you'd be able to have him on hand to deploy during a chase rather than idle by a hook.

2) Reward the Twins for not slugging, rather than punish the Twins for getting a down

The recent Twins nerf on patch 4.7.0 was absurd and didn't actually accomplish the nerf's goal: making slugging less appealing for the Twins. All the nerf did was punish Twins players for using their power well and getting a down with Victor by Decisive Striking them whenever Victor got a down. Here's a thought: rather than punishing the Twins player for playing well, how about you reward them for doing it and choosing not to slug?

Right now on live the Twins player is effectively stunned for 8 seconds if they choose not to slug the Survivor Victor downed and instead switch to Charlotte for a pickup (the 5-second post-hit Victor stun and the 3-second stun on switching to Charlotte). This is absolutely absurd and has no reason to exist. I would suggest BHVR reverts the 4.7.0 post-hit stun changes and instead allow the Twins to switch to Charlotte from Victor during Victor's post-hit fatigue (effectively cutting the post-hit downtime in half if you choose not to slug). If you have made a good play to get the down and want to prioritise a quick pickup you shouldn't be hit with a chain of stuns to dissuade doing so.

3) Mitigate periods of helplessness for both sides after they make a good play

Survivors should be able to punish a Twins player for leaving Victor in a bad spot or missing a Pounce by kicking him, and kicking him should be a big deal that the Twins player should avoid. But at the same time, Victor can also be sent back to Charlotte even if the Twins player plays perfectly, such as getting a hit and being kicked in the fatigue or being removed after attachment, so punishing the Twins player too hard for playing perfectly makes no sense.

In that regard, I suggest a few changes to Victor's regeneration time after he gets kicked. If Victor is kicked while idle or after missing a Pounce, his regeneration time on Charlotte should be doubled from its current 6 seconds, taking it to 12, but it should remain at 6 seconds if he's removed from attachment, recalled to Charlotte via the hook mechanism in 1), or kicked after landing a successful Pounce. This would help Survivors punish Twins players who make mistakes by stopping them spamming Victor without hurting players who actually play them well and get Victor sent back to them as a consequence of success.

4) QOL/addon changes

Other, smaller changes I would like to see include...

• Changes to the status-afflicting addons (Baby Teeth, Weighty Rattle, Rusted Needle) to bring them in line with Spinning Top, the only addon of its family that doesn't suck. Make the status effect that Victor inflicts apply immediately to any Victor hits (much like Spinning Top does), rather than only making them apply to removing Victor. Might actually make those addons usable.
• Allow Victor to interact with the Hatch in some way, because he's worse than useless in a Hatch situation. Even if you find hatch with him, you can't switch back to Charlotte while you're too close to the hatch, so you have to back off from the Hatch, switch to Charlotte, go through her fatigue and then walk over to Victor to close it while hoping the Survivor doesn't follow Victor's shrieks/see him standing idle near it and escape through the hatch. This is because Victor can't close it himself and Survivors can still use it with him attached/crawl out, so even if Victor senses a Survivor near the hatch he can't stop them using it. To amend this helplessness, either let Victor close the hatch or prevent Survivors with him attached from leaving like he does to Exit Gates. It only takes 8 seconds to remove him and they can even do it while moving, it's not an unreasonable demand for Survivors to do (unlike, say, removing a Reverse Bear Trap which could take minutes).
• Let Victor's chases count as chases so that him and the Survivor get BPs and emblem progression for doing it (maybe even give him his own chase theme as a remix/cover of the Twins' main chase theme).

Thanks!
