Does anyone else struggle to get deviousness points on The Ghoul?

I have noticed that I always seem to get really low amounts of BP when playing the ghoul compared to what I'm used to with other killers and after the matches I've had a look at my emblems and notice a real lack of points in Deviousness. Which is weird as I sling myself around a lot and make sure to get enraged and maintain it. This last match I played I got out with 509 points into Deviousness while having an average of 5k in the other categories… I've never seen anything that low. Are his score events broken?

    his deviousness points are pretty low. If you never do a grab attack you won't get any points.

    I think this is intentional, but should be changed. Houndmaster also had pretty low Deviousness-Scoring Events, at least when compared to other Killers, who sometimes have laughable high Scoring Events for simple tasks.

    But if it is the same for the Ghoul, I would guess it is intentional since it was/is also the case for Houndmaster.

    Him and houndmaster are an absolute struggle earning devious bloodpoints

    Idk why all of a sudden they're intentionally doing this now to reduce devious bloodpoint capacity when it was never an issue to begin with

    The only way to get any deviousness with him is to run the brown meme add on and land perfect grab attacks and even if you do all of that, you're rewarded a measly 700 bp. This is plague levels of horrendous bp gains.

    What I think is missing is more score events if you get a hit shortly after a swing. Always hitting the grab is detrimental to playing the character, more often then not the proper play is to swing past and block the survivor and then get a basic attack in.

    I haven't paid attention so I don't know if he get anything like that, but I think he should have something similar to "lethal blinks" with Nurse.

    Honestly, he's a mobility killer, it's just plain weird he doesn't have a scoring event like blight/wesker/nurse just for using the power.

    (Disclaimer: I may not have been paying attention whenever using Nurse)

    I have to admit I'm getting better at getting some Deviousness events now, but even when I'm nearing the 10k on all three other categories I'm rarely above 4k in Deviousness. I do hope they tinker a bit with it. Like give him a small amount from just slinging himself, doesn't have to be much but at least something.

    I am he seeems to vault pallets with his ability more, than just catch up and injure, there you get more bp for vaulting.
    Thats and issue cuz for using his leaps he dosent get any bp.

    The devs should consider upping the bloodpoint gain for Ghoul. Even in games where I end up 4King when it's not a stomp (0-1 gens left), multiple survivors can still outscore me after the survivor BP buffs in the latest patch (not disputing that the BP buffs were needed, they are great).

    WHAT IN GOD'S NAME?!

    I just did a match where all I did was swing around and grab attack people over and over, trying to get used to his distance and what not. I got 2,795 Deviousness BP. That is so unacceptable! What is it the devs are expecting him to do in a match?! I downed everyone at least 3 times (meaning I interacted at least as much as would be expected in a 4k match) and did the grab attack way more than was necessary for winning the trial.

    I really want to know what it is the devs think is going to happen in a match that would earn the Ghoul a decent amount of Deviousness. It was about a 22 minute match because they barely touched gens for a while. 22 minutes and I got 2,795 Deviousness BP. I had fun swinging around, but not I-don't-mind-getting-barely-anything-for-22-minutes-of-my-time fun.

    I don't want to play the Ghoul if he doesn't freaking earn BP for using his power. That's garbage.

    Skill issue

    (jk, the Ghoul doesn't require skill)

    Houndmaster also has this issue. Its like they knew they were dropping him as a busted killer and said "######### it, we nuke his bp gain to the ground"

    Yeah, I played a game with Xeno just to compare and in a game where I barely used my tail, all I did was destroy some turrets, and not that many of those either. Came out of the match with 8k deviousness… like what gives xD
