Wiggle is hell against console killers but does nothing against PC killers
Holy crap, I get slammed around like crazy when carrying a wiggling survivor, now. What the hell happened? I'm talking about without Boil Over, just the normal wiggle is knocking me around like crazy. Boil Over is an absolute nightmare. I bled out a survivor with Boil Over on The Game map because I got stuck on every damn thing in the environment, I could barely move forward much less maneuver to a hook.
All that was while playing killer on PS4. I haven't tried Switch yet, but given how bad the controls on Switch are I'll probably go from rarely hooking to flat out never hooking.
Meanwhile, I play survivor and hit great skill checks while wiggling and the killer doesn't sway in the least, I don't know why I continue bothering. Whatever happened, wiggling now affects console killers a lot more than before, and it seems to affect PC killers less.
This sucks.
Do you guys on PC feel the survivor wiggling at all? Or is it like carrying an inanimate sack of feathers?

Its pretty much always been this way and I dont get it. I was super impressed with myself earlier tonight got someone with boil over on the upstairs balcony of eyrie of crows and actually managed to crab walk to the upstairs hook without falling off.

Yeah, wiggle has always affected console killers more than PC, but that gap seems worse now. The patch notes make it sound like the opposite was supposed to happen with this update.
That's quite impressive about besting Boil Over on Eyrie of Crows, congrats. My crab-walking skills need practice: they can help me reach a hook out in the open when the game refuses to let me walk forward, but I lack the precision control needed for balconies and the narrower doorways.

I played with Boil Over today, and all the killers walked perfectly in a straight line and I got hooked on every occasion.

On PC, boil over appears to be working just fine and I can tell the wiggle is stronger now.
Weirdly though, the base kit wiggle appears to be bugged. It's basically non-existent now and I can walk in a straight line like they aren't hitting checks at all. Pretty sure that's not intended, since it's supposed to be a bit stronger with the impossible-to-miss greats now.

It's a pain in the ass. But usually I just end up slugging the ones that fling me around and going after the others... unless there's a hook right in front of me. Kinda tell myself this one is going to escape anyway, but I'll at least take them out of a large portion of the game as punishment.
Had one like that last night. Slug em, leave em, get to work, cuz if you try to hook em without a hook nearby you're wasting crucial seconds that their teammates are going to be gobbling up. With the new survivor HUD, they are all 100% aware, so don't waste your time trying to kill the most frustrating survivors. Do what killers do in horror films, go for the weakest links first. If the strong survive, who cares as long as you murder one of their friends.

I don't even get why they changed it. Beta wiggle was much better anyway. I would always take that 1s off over more wiggle (which indeed does nothing on PC)
