Oh my god the Hag sucks

Placing traps (if you place them well) around hooked survivors will usually give you enough time to get a hit off of the un-hooker. You also need to place traps around pallet loops to end chases quickly, because the player’s camera will always turn towards your projection once it triggers, making it easy to reappear and M1 for the hit. Ruin is a must, because, like Trapper, it will take time to set everything up the way you want it, and the reason why she is 110% movement speed is because she has all of these traps at her disposal, she doesn’t need to go around collecting them like Trapper does. You also should not expect a quick game unless you’ve hooked somebody in the basement against an overly altruistic team.

You need to place traps in places people commonly go to. Placing them in jungle gyms, by windows, or by pallets is generally a good idea. Also place them in choke points or places you know people are going to cross.

If you think someone is about to trigger a trap, start spamming control/your teleport button. This will guarantee that you teleport ASAP, netting you a hit if your trap was positioned properly. However, remember that hag does not get a lunge instantly out of teleporting, so wait a second before you lunge or you will do a short attack.

Hag takes a lot of practice, and you'll eventually figure out what survivors do and where they like to go. Just remember: Don't chase someone in an un-trapped area. That is the most important thing to learn, and it seems to be what you're struggling with. Place more traps instead so that you can end chases quickly later.

Don't take this the wrong way, but you don't have enough Hag experience. Hag is a top tier killer, and the only reason she isn't viable is because she's so hard countered by flashlights.

Hag's traps give her incredible map pressure, and can give a free hit or end a chase if placed right, her small Terror Radius and Size when paired with Monitor makes her incredibly sneaky, and she has the added bonus of normal M1 killer besides speed (which can be fixed by an addon.)

Hag is not someone you can just pick up, she takes a lot of practice before she gets good.

If you're 1 hooking people with a killer that already has a bad early game, good survivors should have popped 4 gens by the time they die.

The absolute best way to play her is by exploiting Make Your Choice, or at least pressuring multiple people after saves. If you've trapped properly, they may get rid of the hook trap with a flashlight but the moment you get in a chase your traps will get triggered.

Pressuring only one, at max 2 people at a time is rarely a good idea with any killer. Good survivors will destroy you if you're playing like that.

Since @SpaceCoconut didn't say it I will. Watch his youtube videos. He's very good at playing Hag.

Hag is one of THE most balanced killers imo. Her movement speed is the same as huntress. Doing early traps around corners, strong loops and putting some near hooks makes her amazing. If you truly are going a 4 stack SWF, they won't even know you had a trap there. Use perks like monitor and abuse, save the best for last and you're golden. Grandma's heart and waterlogged shoes are my two favorite add ons for her. Especially on coldwind farm where there's good strong loops. You chase them, they try and go through a window but SURPRISE, it's blocked off and then her current terror radius goes to 0 while the triggered trap's is at 16 meters.

Well you dont chase with her. You trap. If you find yourself chasing you need to set more traps, especially at loops. She is a really strong killer she just has a different play style.

The hag is the only killer who can grab survivor's camera and direct it forcing them to bump into objects. What not to likes about her?

Love it not_Queen. 😁

So you want to play hag do you? Well my friend..let us begin..Hag is all strategy and deception..forcing survivors into her traps..As you begin the match start placing traps in strategic locations survivors are likely to step in as you search for a chase target ..Gens and jungle gyms chief among them, but areas survivors cut through commonly to get between gens is also a good idea as they wont be expecting those and are very likely to help you get chases done faster.

Now next is placement..trap placement is as important as location..advanced hag players know that when you trap a jungle gym..put the trap to slightly sideways from the pallet or window your trapping , this makes use of the camera lock hag traps give to disrupt survivor pathing and help you land those hits..note that trapping too close to the pallet will result in you eating splinters.

Next is pressure..hag has to play things differently as a 110 killer..if a chase is going poorly and another trap goes off..switch targets, you may get the easier target or at least keep gens down a little bit better, and once a survivor is hooked, place a trap near them as to slow down their rescuers..and make sure traps are close enough you can hopefully get a trap to go off on the unhooker..this helps hag make extremely good use of make your choice and this is where she is strongest..while someone is hooked she can snowball off a rescue like mad..in the case of a basement hook..add one additional trap at the top of the stairs..makes your basement very hard to escape.

Finally..mind games..sometimes you'll find yourself in a place devoid of traps..if you feel confident..place a trap along the loop and based off your survivor..you can use the trap as normal..or..use it to scare survivors into trying to get back over the window/pallet as you flank around the other way..the old checkmate play..With some practice you'll find these tips should help you immensely and will show you why hag is an almost perfect killer for dbd..and why shes extremely underestimated
