Hug Tech Confirmed To Be A Bug

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3DdUQrJoU0 (The Blight in this clip isn't good, but the streamer here talks about how to mindgame the hug tech at shack, but this exact same general logic works at other tiles). Basically, if you know you are in an area that can be hug teched around, then it becomes a mindgame of which path to loop it. For instance in this example, if the streamer went around and then through the window, the Blight would bounce off the door edge and hug around to the window. So he as the survivor would run in, towards the window, and then not vault it/head towards the pallet and out towards the right or so. Then, if the Blight made the wrong read, he hugs around the shack to nothing. Conversely, if the Blight didn't think he'd go for the vault and would fake it, he'd instead rush THROUGH the doorway. Which in this case, if the Steve did vault it, the Steve would have been out of his attack range through the window.

This works on other tiles as well. For instance, with a LT wall, a Blight might try and hug the bottom part of the "L" shape to try and catch you around the opposite side of the window. This leads into the second method to counter it when there isn't a solid "divide" (eg, the outside wall of shack). For example with the LT wall, Blight hugs around the bottom part of the L to try and hit you at the window. To be able to hit you at that window, he would rush facing towards the 'top' of the L, so that he himself goes to the right, but he is looking straight ahead. Then, he would do 90 flick to the left to swing towards the window.

So, in this example, you (and the Blight) has two main options. One, he hugs around the L/you think he will hug around the L. Two, he ignores the L entirely and bounces off the bottom part of the T to then rush again to try and hit you at the L or T window (bump logic). If you think he's going to go for bump logic, you just take the vault using that extra time difference, and now he'd have to multi-bump again to get you at the other side of the window where he first started. If you think he's going to go for a hug, you instead get to a point where he loses LOS, and then go the other direction.

The reason this works is because if he wants to hit you in time (if you DID take the vault), he'd have to start the swing basically the second he turns the tip of the bottom part of the L. Otherwise, the vault will usually finish in time, ESPECIALLY if it's a fast vault. So now his Rush momentum is essentially stopgated into his swing. Meaning, the extent of his attack range in this instance is as far as a Lethal Rush swing (a few meters). He also doesn't have the LOS for sure to see which option you took, and he can't wait for the vault sound either cause by then, you'd be out of his swing range even through the window. So, after you turn that corner and thus break his LOS on you, you turn instead away completely from the L and head towards the T. If you do this smoothly in one motion after you break his LOS, by the time he's around the L and swinging, you're too far for him to hit you even if he adjusts, because he already started losing momentum the second he went into his swing.

Crappy MS Paint, but as a visual guide. The red is the Blight's initial path. The orange shows the main paths he can take. The green is the Survivor's initial path. The blue shows the paths the Survivor can take. For the Blight to hit the survivor in time at the window, he has to start the swing where the red becomes orange (right at the end of the L). If the survivor fakes it out and Blight didn't make the read correctly, by the time he tries to adjust the swing, the survivor is out of his actual lunge range because starting an attack sharply and very quickly reduces Blight's momentum down (compared to continuing to just Rush). Feel free to ask if you want any more help/tile-specific guides/etc. I'd genuinely love to offer help.

Ok. How many hug tech blights have you played against in your last 50 games? One? Two?

How big of a problem is this really? Almost not at all.

If people want his bugs removed, then BHVR will need to go and actually add collision to half the crap in the game you magically slide off. Something tells me they are not going to do that.

Entitled survivor mains really be wanting the killers to have nothing viable

Being able to slide off of objects is intentional as said by McLean anyways. Just not removing collision by standing right beside it at the start.

And how many sabo swf teams did you face in you last 50 games? And boil over was reviewed

0 because I dodge SWFs most of the time hah. Would probably be like 10-15 SWFs for 50 games I would imagine though. I had one dedicated boil over sabbo squad in 10 games but I was only playing basement Bubba during that timeframe of abuse so they just died all the same.

Yeah he says that, but if manipulating your camera hitbox to control your collision is intended, that means by extension the hug tech is intended because thats all that is happening. So even what he says doesn't make any sense. "Its working as intended, therefore bug" Thats not how that works.

Looking down/angled after the rush to avoid collision isn't a bug. That's scoot sliding, which McLean explicitly addressed. Hug tech is starting "hugging" the surface to avoid collision.

Autoaim is a thing you skill issue

By the way, did what I post help you? @Mileena_Kahn If not, feel free to ask for more help. I'd genuinely like to help.
