your thoughts on hag?

ive heard a few people say that hag is such an unfun killer to go up against and saying that they hate the way that some people play her, complaining about things like the fact that she can swing immediatly after teleporting and hags that trap up hooked survivors like 3 or 4 times. me personally i dont have an opinion because i rarely go up against hags so i was just wondering what your guys thoughts were on her?

    The only change she needs is every trap around a hook disappears after an unhook. Anyone who says she shouldn’t be able to hit after a teleport don’t realize that idea failed

    She is the word annoying shaped into a killer. I am glad that not many people play her tbh

    Generally they are unfun to go against if they are good and know what they are doing. If it's a hag with basement, that is on the survivor. Once you know it's a hag stay away from basement. But most hags are not that great. And can easily be dealt with by having one or 2 people constantly setting off traps in a safe manner

    To me since the start of their introduction to the game I'll never understand why killers like Bubba received so much hate when killers like Hag exist where they're designed to proxy and camp an area.

    Hag has many counters yes but I feel Hag isn't healthy for the game because of their design. Unpopular opinion maybe but I would prefer more engaging killers that encourage chase and unique interactions in the game be added. Not killers that force the survivors to decide whose going to deal with the camping killer this time.

    Been a discussion several times but I'd agree with the suggestions that upon unhook traps within the hook area should disappear along with any active phantasm traps.

    Also I'm totally open to criticism because I main Nurse / Blight.

    tl;dr - Cripple Hag's camping game and buff her somehow so she's more fun and engaging in chase. Maybe even going as far as making that Ultra Rare that lets her travel to any trap basekit but the basekit is only within like 12 meters or something.

    Hag is boring - She can be fun but like 3 people know how to play her well and make her fun for survivors. Either she gets ran for 5 gens all the time or she facecamps all survivors to death I never see an in between.

    She is the better trapper at least and she can totally be annoying at times. Always my suggestion is to play as her for a lil while so you can figure out the proper strategies against her. Otherwise youll be crouch walking the entire match because you dont know what to do. She is limited in the amount of traps she can place and you dont want to allow her to trap a 3 gen area so the only real recourse is to flashlight her traps so you dont accidentally trigger them. This also doesnt alert her like it does with trapper and disarming his traps.

    You won't always have a flashlight though and RNG doesn't always provide so we can't always assume that's a valid strat.

    It's basically the "Bring this perk or item for this killer who may not even be present" and you essentially think why bother if it isn't going to give me consistent results. That's why we have meta perks is because they're consistent in all situations as opposed to running Calm Spirit for that one time you'll encounter a Doctor or Iron Will for that one time you'll run into a Spirit. Granted in regards to Iron Will that perk is just good in general so it is a meta perk. But it's an example - Why run Iron Will specifically for Spirit? You may as well run it for all killers not just with Spirit in mind.

    She is fine. Survivors hate hag because they like being chased and Hag is one special case who doesn't even need to commit to them, offering a very unique playstyle as one of the few defensive killers in the roster. Also if you do get one of those hags who just spam traps around hooks, then you are going against a bad hag and those are so easily bullied.

    Even if they're easily bullied they're still camping someone on hook if they catch someone and it's a boring game where no one is going to pip or get bp because they are basically playing with a passive bot hovering around a hook. To be blunt.

    I'm a killer main (Mind you - a very biased one) and I hate Hag but admittedly I hate Spirit more. If I could remove or rework killers on the roster it would be Spirit and then Hag and maybe Pig. Granted Pig I'd just rework into something less RNG and more consistent but the other two are like the most unfun thing to verse. They always make the game unfun or boring and honestly I wouldn't be surprised if deep down part of me is a killer main so I don't have to endure having those killers in my game. They're unfun and if I was a survivor main who had to play against them all the time I'd have uninstalled this game a long time ago. Granted I'm not too far from it now.

    I think she’s an abomination and is the most universally boring killer.

    She is fine not too strong or weak. Fun to play and to play against.
