How do we Fix and Buff Houndmaster?
Of course Devs are gonna have do a huge amount of QOL to make her feel way better but even if her QOL fixes her bugs and jank she is in desperate need of more Buffs I think she needs
Snug
Chase Hit box Width increased by 1.5 meters
Collision detection reduced
Chase command speed increased by 15%
Chase Speed increased by 20%
Redirect time linger increased by 1 second
Search Radius starts at 10 meters
Search growth radius multiplier increased by 3x
Houndsense duration increased by 35% (brown addon basekit)
Number of Survivors marked with Houndsense gives Houndermaster power cooldown reduction 5% per mark
What Buffs do you think Houndmaster needs?

I think the dog just needs to teleport more. Your cooldown shouldn't be reliant on how efficient the AI has determined it's path and your chase command shouldn't fail because the dog just isn't there.
Houndsense i think could be a lot better. It's really not very useful.
I think you could be able to instantly recall a dog from searching.4 -
I like your ideas for sure. Very good thoughts. :)

I think chase cooldown should be 3 second instead of 5
Hit box width increased not sure by how much but it needs to be significant
Houndsense should give a 3% hinder
Make the dog pull towards houndmaster rather than where it was sent out
Increase the dogs run back speed from chase and search by 25%

I think Snug should teleport when we're doing chase command windup to be ready when we need them I've had some many times Snug wasn't in the right position to send him out

Thank you I played a ton of Houndmaster and thought deeply on what she needed

Hm I was thinking of if they are marked with Houndsense should just reveal the Aura for that duration since it fits with tracking and all

I just don’t understand why they just don’t make the dog teleport to you when he is far, they have this system for the killer when it gets stuck on something, but this should happen every time in my opinion

Because you can detect people on the way back which is actually useful when it happens.

I dont think Snug needs any changes atm its way way way to early to say anything for certain, but there are areas to improve before we get that far.
- Targeting In-Game Objects: Simplify the targeting system by implementing dynamic snapping to nearby objects, making it easier and more intuitive to use the Search command.
- Changing Commands While Snug is Active: Allow players to switch commands even when Snug is performing an action, enabling smoother strategy adjustments and reducing confusion.
- Command Selection Confusion: Allow command switching while holding ability charge or add subtle cues to improve awareness of the selected command.
- Low Deviousness Point Gain: Increase Deviousness points for strategic actions like using the Search command to better reward the Killer's gameplay.
- Default Command Selection: Set Search as the default starting command to align with early-game strategies and improve match flow.
I have myself been performing adequately with Houndmaster, she is a somewhat high skill Killer so you need to take that into account before you demand buffs. Fixing the problems with her controls should take priority!
