How are the new sabo changes?
Not able to play the PTB right now so for those who have gotten to try it, how is the sabo change?
I haven't seen much discussion about it so just curious what everyone thinks. Is it too powerful, too weak, no difference?

I haven't thought too deeply about what specific teams or builds to abuse yet, beyond verifying it in a custom match and laughing about how fast it is, but I will tell you that once when I brought in the Alex toolbox, it was fast enough to destroy the hooks and escape with the DH in time, even after the killer hit me and started sabotaging me.
Alex's Toolbox and Commodious Toolbox are a little overtuned, the rest is fine.
It is nice that Mechanic's and Engineer's toolboxes do not reduce sabo speed anymore, I never liked that they had those debuffs.
Alex toolbox with double sabo speed is problematic
I honestly didn't notice sabo being that common in the PTB, to be honest I wasn't even sure the change had been implemented since people in my games are apparently more busy getting stuck in mimics and locker-warping than sabo'ing (can't really blame them).
You can easily sabotage a hook a killer is moving towards without even taking a single hit. Did it myself a few times. It basically has zero risk now and if a 4 man brings breakdowns and sabo it’s going to be impossible to hook at all
