Ghoul suggestion to make him less annoying while not touching strength of kit.
I don't like ghoul but wanted to give a suggestion that would not touch his kit strength while making him less annoying to verse which I saw in a thread a month a two ago devs wanted to look at.
Remove the animation of being locked into place and screamed at.
Its a minor thing but its absurdly annoying, the scream combined with the loosing all control of your character. Hes only killer I can think of who can lock you into a animation where you have no controller input.
(outside Henry mori, springtrap axe grab and dredge locker grab, which have specific conditions and you are dead/ downed anyways.)
This animation lock should be removed, Hindered and cooldown can be looked at to make it basically loose no value compared to having the animation lock. But a free hitscan hit is never going to feel good to verse but the animation lock adds to how annoying it is.

the lock in place does nothing. You still get the regular speed boost after hit.

Yes and he has 3 seconds animation I believe he has less distance than survivor who gets hit by regular attack and runs.
Im for more him not having autoaim so you must point and click on survivors to leap into them but than he would be super hard on console its kinda messy to do ghoul even devs tried somethign and said it wasnt possible because he didnt worked I think something about autoaim it was.

I think removing the mend of his bite on healthy survivors would make turn him into a far less frustrating killer to go against.

But without his QTE where will ghoul mains get their extra bloodpoints from? 🥺

I gotta agree with royval the hold does literally nothing. I don't see why it's any more special than weskers throw or slingers gun.

Slingers gun I still can at least move side to side and potenially get myself stuck on something.
Weskers I forgot about but find it far less annoying then ghoul screaming at you as you are forced to stand still. At least wesker is throwing / chocking you
Its not about a speed boost or how it does nothing if it does nothing more of a reason to remove it, thats the point of this suggestion it does not effect his kit but removes his animation lock weeb scream at you as they get a free hit which is annoying to verse.
This may work as well! I would do heavy changes personally, but devs said they wanted to look at changes that dont affect his power level at all so wanted to try to make suggestions to make him less annoying while not touching his kits power.

Don't forget houndmaster's dog grab, that one is pretty irritating too.

I agree that getting locked in place feels bad, even if it makes no difference to the outcome. You're in the middle of a chase and then you're not chasing, you're standing still.
