New Killer: Some Thoughts
Here is just some ways I think he could be buffed to make him more than a B- Tier Killer.
- Increase hitbox. Maybe if not that, allow the hook to latch onto people as it comes back to the weapon as well, so it actually acts more as a hook rather than a harpoon.
- Increase his ammo capacity per reload. I think three shots would be good. He suffers already from 110% speed, and having to reload after every. single. shot... is kinda making him a turtle. Not to mention the aiming and missed shot reduction Its fine if you can make the reload animation longer, but just make his power less unforgiving, because other killer powers are far more powerful and more forgiving.
- Make him 115%. That would help, along with multiple shots, to alleviate the speed reduction that his power gives him and make him a little more lethal. Would also help with map pressure, as just that extra percent is a bit more he can traverse the map with.
- Finally, have it so a survivor HAS to have an object between him and the killer in order to escape. Or have the standard reel struggle be extremely slow. Because without addons, you can't reel someone in from max range and get a hit on them. Which shouldn't be the case if there's an addon that rewards you shooting someone from 15 meters. It would also help with team comps as it would require other people in open areas to help out if they want a survivor to escape, and also puts more agency on the survivor to drag themselves behind objects.
