Pinhead's gateway hook is ridiculous without addons.

As much as I love playing Pinhead, his main power/hook is simply terribly to maneuver without addons simply because of it's clunkiness.

Most of the time, you can only use for straight dives cuz if you try to change its directions, you'll probably end up hitting elsewhere. Also, survivors have a much easier time moving around which also makes non-addon Pinheads have a terrible time hooking them.

All in all, Pinhead is really addon dependent and BHVR should consider changing it a little bit.

    I think people have to play him like Nurse :

    You put your gateway just next to the survivor, immediately face him and shoot the chain. Every PinHead I saw put their gateway too far (imo) from me, so with a good 360 it's easy to dodge, but if the gateway it just in front of me...

    Now that I think about it, PinHead is excellent to practice before playing Nurse, maybe.

    Not to mention that if you hook a Survivor your chains have little to no impact. Break them on the environment instantly, or alternatively with M1, which breaks the chains far too quickly too.

    It's really weird playing pinhead as a Nurse player, I tried to go into him with that mindset, but the gateway is really clunky on console and awful to position. I have had more luck placing the portal towards where the survivor is heading than on top of them. Just because sometimes the chain sometimes just veers off in the wrong direction at close range without letting me control it at all and other times that isn't the case, it is very unreliable for me at least.
