Killer belongings’ skill checks

How come searching a Jigsaw Box gives you the option of hitting great skill checks but sealing a Portal doesn't?

(I don't play either of these killers but a video I watched today just made me wonder. Seems unfair to the Pig.)

    these are WILDLY different things, you cant compare those at all.

    Okay but instead of just saying that can you explain why?

    Pig's Traps can be skill checked because it's essentially a 'Survivor interaction', like Gens or Healing. Hitting a Great gets the helmet off faster, since they only have 60 seconds to find the correct box after a Gen completed and the helmet activates. Demos Portals don't harm a Survivor, they just allow Demo to teleport around and take less time to seal, especially if another survivor is helping.

    one has a timer that can kill a survivor if not adressed for too long.

    the other is....just a portal...


    I mean this is just variation in gameplay mechanics which is good that it exists, you cant interact with a Hag portal unless you have a flashlight or just run through it risking a hit.

    You can interact with a beartrap but only as one person.

    This is all variations on gameplay and has everything to do with balance as well.
