why does boil over completely negate iron grasp?

Options

I play killer and survivor on playstation 4 stock and nintendo switch. playing with my friends is lots of fun and I do play solo survivor from time to time and I also try killers a few times but I can't play killer without using iron grasp and shadowborn. Iron grasp is because it's so hard to control movement without bumping into things especially indoor maps such as R.P.D. I physically can't for the life of me hook boil over players. I just cant do it. shadowborn because the fov is so bad. they run into me and circle around, and I miss my hits quite often when they do that because the camera hides the survivor.

why does survivor have it so much easier when it comes to gameplay features but killer is pure suffering?

    It doesnt, but Boil Over still comes out a bit on top

    Since Boil Over increases the wiggle effect by 100% and Iron Grasp (At Level 3) decreases the wiggle effect by 75%, youre still being thrown around 25% more than normal

    Also the effect is still not that bad to counter, everyone runs into walls how ever you can also move your camera a bit to counteract the effect even without Iron Grasp

    Killers do quite well overall, so obviously plenty can make it work.

    Boil Over is problematic, but only in specific spots on certain maps. That doesn't sound like the problem you are describing.

    Playing killer is only suffering against bully squads. Those are very rare and really only encountered at the highest levels of play.

    The FOV thing is being fixed. Survivors use it because it's a fun, interactive part of gameplay. It's nothing personal.

    I mean if anything that 1 killer perk is countering those 4 Survivor perks. The strength of Boil Over is really the drop effect, the sway is just a bonus. Similarly, Iron Grasps strength is the added wiggle time. Swaying 25% more than usual is barely anything.

    Boil over alone isn't much of an issue unless you have to drop down or they have found a hook dead zone.

    I have had players that slam and lock me into objects though. These are hackers if nothing else is in play like breakout etc..
