Hag buffs

I've been playing Hag for years, and Hag imo is the killer that has fallen off the hardest. It used to be easy 4ks with Hag and it has gotten harder by the year. Nowadays, it feels like every survivor knows how to counter Hag, and it's hard to beat even the worst survivors. I would place Hag alongside Trapper in the tier list. The problem with Hag is that Hag has 0 way to outplay survivors. She's a 110 m/s killer with 0 chase potential. All she can do is place traps and run loop to loop hoping a survivor randomly runs into her trap, and this strat is heavily map dependent on map size, with larger maps being worse. The changes I would make to Hag are:

  • make her 4.6 m/s: there is absolutely no reason why Hag should be 4.4 m/s. Making her 4.6 m/s will allow her to at least chase a bit
  • increase trap count to 15. 10 traps just aren't enough. Ever since they changed it so survivors can remove traps without Flashlights, traps get removed too easily and the traps don't cover enough of the map to get a hit within a reasonable amount of time.

    I strongly discourage making Hag 4.6, as you said yourself; it would make her better at "chase." But Hag is not a "chase" killer; she's an area-control killer. If she were 4.6, it would create a disincentive to use her traps as intended by BHVR.

    This ^ the only changes hag needs is increased setting speed, increased range, and increased lunge range when teleporting.
