Please buff boil over
The amount of times im wiggling and the bar maxes out and i literally get 400 points of wiggle but i still get hooked...
Boil over is the survivor equivalent of iron grasp, which DECREASES wiggling speed. Why shouldn't boil over INCREASE wiggle speed. You can remove the hook aura thing i dont think that does anything.
Im begging...

No it is not really the equivalent to iron grasp. Breakout and Boil over are the equivalent to one of iron grasps effects.
A perk which shortens your own wiggle timer and lets you escape is too strong bc it has too much impact on the game. Iron grasps grants the killer the ability to choose more places to hook the survivor. This has no big impact, so iron grasp isnt strong.
Because the way hooks are laid throughout the map are balanced around a set amount of carry time and messing with that time can make the game actually unwinnable for Killer. Adding something like this is like adding something that makes the sacrifice process faster, it's an extremely slippery slope and shouldn't be messed with.
Here’s how I would buff Boil over
You are a battler and do everything to escape a foe's grasp.
Your Struggle Effects on the Killer are increased by 25/50/75 %.
Your wiggling speed is increased by 4/8/12%
You obscure the Killer's ability to the auras of hooks within 8/16/24 meters.(when carrying a survivor you will not see the auras of hooks within those meters).
Boil over doesn't affect wiggle speed, it increases the sideways push you do on the killer and obstruct hook auras for them.
I wouldn´t mind if they buffed both.
I wish it affected the wiggle timer but they put that effect on Breakout.
The outcome is Breakout is rather niche and Boil Over should never really be used. Like ever.
That being said you might be able to do a cheeky play involving Boil Over + Petrified Oak / a Sabotage toolbox team-mate since the struggle effect from Boil Over actually is quite significant.
Boil over in it's current state will either be worthless or overpowered. There is no inbetween.
Killers already use tactics survivors don't like cause they can't up with the number of hookstates needed.
Making it even more difficult by making wiggle outs more common is just asking for getting 4 man slugged every game
