Houndmaster's Bloodpoint Score Events Are Abysmally Unfair.

Hey all! I think that we can agree that The Houndmaster is in a pretty decent spot right now! Her kit could use a bit more refinement in certain areas, (searching objectives is still super inconsistent and the vault speed is WAY too fast), but there's something about her that I am SHOCKED has remained untouched since the PTB.

For those unaware, Houndmaster currently has four score events related to her power:

100 Deviousness for a successful detainment. Trapper gets that for setting a trap.

200 Deviousness for a successful hit on a detained survivor. Blight gets 225 every time he uses his rushes, 300 for hitting a survivor with a rush, and 500 for downing a survivor with a rush.

200 Deviousness for tagging a survivor with Houndsense. Vecna gets 350 Deviousness for tagging survivors with his orb.

200 Brutality for hitting a houndsensed survivor. Singularity gets 300 for hitting a survivor after any teleport.

That's it. Four score events, none of them above 200.

That is a major barrier for me when it comes to playing a killer, let alone maining one, and I want to main this killer! She's fun, has a high skill ceiling, a great chase theme, and she's fair to play against! (Or she will be when they nerf dog vaulting, 0.4 seconds is insane.)

Please fix this! Either increase the values of her existing score events, or add new ones for actions like successful redirect hits, successful vault hits, walking along a slipstream trail, (yes that's what the search line is called internally), hitting a survivor at long range, the possibilities are endless!

    Yea her BP gains are terrible. Although most killer powers don't give any extra brutality points in the first place, only Singularity, Oni, Ghostface and Houndmaster have additional score events for that. It's a little strange that Oni and Ghostface get extra brutality points for their instadown power, but Bubba, Billy and Myers don't.

    I've always wondered why they haven't retroactively added brutality for hitting an exposed survivor, would be nice.

    The saddest thing is that as a killer like Blight you can play terrible and still get good bloodpoints, because you're rewarded just for using your power.

    With Houndmaster you have to use it correctly to get 75 more BP than Blight does for spamming his rushes at a wall.
