Why did the devs make the hooks respawn after someone dies on it?

This is highly relevant since the 2v8 mode is still live, but:

They can literally make hooks spawn on top of a downed survivor and there will still be killers who choose to leave people slugged for no reason.

If the devs really want to target slugging, then slugging for the 4k is the only first step that matters.

This is only a killer qol change, let's call it that.

I mean the issue is I've recorded games where I crawled under hook and the Killer still would refuse to hook*, as they stalked my slugged body as I slowly reached under the hook. The problem is one of two issues. A: Make clearly intentional bleedouts a bannable offense, or B: Make Survivors be able to speed up bleedout death or remove DC penalty once some time is reached like 3-AFK crows on a slug.

*Sometimes refusing to hook at all, sometimes waiting for 3m59s to be extra spiteful in a match where we had an AFK from the start known to the Killer.

As we've said, those that would now can cause there's not going to be dead zones. This isn't going to stop ******s from doing what they do.

Sure, it happens. But that isn’t the primary umbrage survivors took with slugging and we all know it. It’s disingenuous to pretend otherwise.

This was a really unncessary doing. You just covered up for their own failure to manage hooks. Removing another micro-gameplay for killer to make their gameplay even more skill-less.

It isn’t though, because complaints from survivors who are slugged in dead zones they have deliberately run into so rare they’re not at all relevant to discussions on slugging. When survivors complain about slugging, they aren’t usually/typically/commonly complaining about how they ran into a known dead zone, were slugged because no hook was available, and bled out.

People always did this micro-management by default. People who didnt do this were those who complained, even though its their own fault for not doing this in any way.

I have slugged many survivors due to hook issues, that played really hard and sweaty and who gave me no reason to show mercy on them and giving them hatch. In other cases I would have just try to haul them over to the hook or even give hatch, but some survivors really give you no reason to be nice in return.

In those cases, I usually tryed to goad them towards a hook, slashed the air under a hook or in the hooks direction. A normal MO was to move extra slowly over there and then wriggle on the floor and start crawling away into a corner. This survivors would literally die and waste 4min, then to not griefe and just get themselves hooked.

On a side note, 3 years back there was a change to the wriggle progression. Originally (at that time when I started playing) the wriggle progress would slowly decay while a survivor was slugged, but then it was changed that the progressbar would stay where it was until the survivor wriggled out. This mechanic is the other reason why a killer often can't hook a survivor. I don't know if there was a specific incident or behavior behind the change, but I always hated this, as if left killers in a lose/lose situation if they couldn't reach a hook. Maybe someone who played at that time could explain this to me? Thanks ^_-

The devs need to create an easily accessible game for new killer players/ revenue streams.

its to prevent slugging and survivors holding the game hostage, but dont worry your head killer will get another nerf soon

Some maps have deadzones where only one hook spawns, so once one Survivor dies on that hook, it's a permanent deadzone.

Instead of fixing hook spawns on said maps, devs decided to just make used up hooks respawn.

So the update made it so it it impossiable to wiggle off now because dead zone are non existent anymore the only way to wiggle free is by a teamates help verry fat Killer buff and their so many hook on the map u can legit be on the corner of the map slug everyone and they still make it to ever hook I mean sur let hook come back but come on legit 3 minutes it not enoight time 5 minutes at minium at this point of dbd the only thi g that not auto play for killer is finding someone that it and even that it not true because all of the aura riding perks killer it legit auto play now a day and most map have been reworked into oblivion with 5 pallets and 2 windows with 5 gens to day

And that is the way it is meant to be, survivors aren't supposed to just wiggle off for free, and having to bleed out a survivor for 4 minutes is unhealthy for the game, it does nothing other then waste that survivors time and the killers.

I don't mind hook respawns either it be killer or survivor as dead zones ruin gameflow. Intentional 4k slugging can never be resolved without reworking mechanics like being able to resurrect without the perk if you are not within 32 feet of the killer or crawl to a hook to pull yourself up or for each slugged player the killer loses 0.4 speed but i can't ever see it happening.
