Why is window tech a thing?
So a friend of mine that is a survivor main asked me to go to a custom game to try window tech.
Even tho it didnt work (because he was practising) many people can use this "juke" really well to make the killer lose all the advantage he had on you, even tho it is easily counterable.
And this kept me thinking...
Isn't this a "juke" based on a flaw of the game? This is dependant on the fact that the killer becomes immaterial in the middle of the vault animation. It seems to me, abusing a flawed game mechanic and nothing more than that. Just to clarify: feel free to use it as it is a devs fault for making it like it is and not youra for using it, im not saying "screw people who use it".
I know it takes practice, but it shouldnt exist, like the poor FoV that killers have.
Another thing that bothers me is the hook tech.
Why the hell can a survivor put himself behind a hooked person and the killer not?
And why did they remove the "wall smacking" when smacking someone on the hook? Auto aim also sucks so it doesnt help on the matter.
EDIT: TLDR; Window tech shouldn't exist even tho it is easily counterable by hearing the survivor or huggign the wall. It's a game flaw. Hook tech shouldn't exist.
My question is: Do you think that window tech is a good game mechanic or is it based on a flaw of the killer's mechanics?

You have counter play tho. Just hug the wall and look the other way to see if they did it. Boom just solved the problem.
Devs approach to fixing exploits:
Does it break the game?
Yes: Fix asap and bans all around
No: It's a tech lol much skill very counterplay
window tech just makes the skill gap for survivor bigger. i feel like it's not bad b/c it's not the biggest game changer if you realize a survivor does it
Yes, the window tech should exist. If you go out a window and see no survivor and no scratch marks, turn around. Its a unique, skill-based method of escaping and risky AF.
Also, I thought the "hook tech" was fixed so people can't do that anymore. 🤷
And the killers FOV isn't poor, its intentional for the suspense and fun of the game, and definitely should exist.
Firstly, a mod response saying a "tech" like that contributes to the fun aspect of the game really opens anyone's eyes for how biased BHVR can really be.
Secondly, if people actually learn how to read a post and not just the title almost half of the responses wouldn't be completely pointless like these "you have counterplay so it should exist" or "if you fall for that you're bad".
And finally, the acknowledge of such exploits isn't as spread as people tend to believe, many people defending these bugs say that it's a know thing which is easily counterable by anyone and my question to these people is who told you that this things existed ? and more importantly, does the common player share the same communities you follow in order to know about this things too ?
