Rework Ideas for The Hag

The Hag's problems are well known, so let's get straight to the point.

Phantasm Trigger Target

  • A phantasm stores information about the trigger that activated it, and will always look in the direction of the trigger, regardless of distance.
  • Survivors can instantly destroy phantoms by touching them when the trigger is not their own.

Remote activation of the phantasm

  • The Hag can activate any trap on the map at any time by pressing the action button (ctrl).
  • The trigger of the phantasm that is activated by this becomes the killer (the phantasm will continue to look in the direction of the hag).

Teleport Specifications

  • The Hag can instantly teleport to any phantasm within 48m of her if that phantasm's trigger is any survivor (current ability).
  • The Hag can teleport to a phantasm by pressing the action button for 3 seconds, if the trigger of that phantasm is the killer.
  • Any phantasm traps that the Killer teleports using any method will remain (will be automatically placed again).

That's all for the changes.

Part of the Mint Rug's effect will be included in the base kit, improving map patrol ability.

Also, remote activation of the Phantasm will make mind games more fun during chases, and it can also be used to destroy unnecessary traps.

The first idea for reworking the Hag is to make her 4.6m/s, but I personally don't think that just making her a little faster will improve her pick rate, and she won't be that strong or interesting.
I think it would be better to strengthen her abilities to match her 4.4m/s.

What do you guys think?

    I think the best thing they can do to hag is make her traps invisible at a certain range so ice maps aren't so punishing on her other then that imo shes fine and that's coming from a Hag main either that or more grass on maps like Erie and Ormand.

    I think she REALLY needs another teleport range increase. Without the teleport range add-ons, you struggle a lot on big maps.

    And, I would also like it if your speed was increased for a while after teleporting. It would feel amazing and force survivors to wipe the traps away, instead of blindly triggering them and holding S.
