Hag is one of the only killers that still scares me sometimes and that is the real reason i started playing dbd in the first place. I wish they would go back to this and make more killers with jump scares and all that, very hard to be scared by a short neon purple singer in a neon yellow curtain. Sadakos scary sometiumes tho
I used to be a spirit main before they fucked her all up, even survivors have told me that they enjoyed the tension and jumpscares that came with a gen grab.
@@aaauuguhu9048 well on PC with a good headset you can hear where she is phasing around so if you combine this with perks like Quick and Quiet, the no boon that prevents scratches/light fooded, distraction you can really bamboozle her
The weirdest thing about Hag is that people always forget she exists even though she's one of the top tier killers. Like every time meta discussions come up, it's always Nurse, Spirit, and Blight, with no mention of Hag, even though you can run no perks no addons with her and still clap at high MMR
I guess it's because the application of her power in response to a survivor is better than the power itself. Like the whole trap system seems to have originally been intended as a hit and run or map control playstyle, but fits far better as a survivor perk denial machine. Sprint Burst means nothing if they run into a trap 5 metres down the line, DS stun and distance caused means nothing if they hit a trap later down the line, Dead Hard prevents a swing but Hag's strength comes from having the most opportunities of any killer to get a hit without direct input. Nurse must blink to get a hit, Blight must dash to get a hit, Spirit usually has to phase to get a hit, whereas Hag only needs to be patient and corral a survivor into an area with traps to get a hit. In the hold W meta a power like that arguably has more potential than the high tier killers when used correctly
It's because the power has to be triggered by survivors. Yes it is strong but if someone knows how to avoid/destroy or even play around this then she becomes a M1 killer with significantly less speed. This makes her inconsistent and partly reliant on the survivors mistakes. The start of a game you have to predict the most active areas then place intelligent traps in the hopes that they are effective. Even then that area once noticed could be avoided until the swf is ready to clear it out and do the objectives. So the only other option is forced zoning eg trap and area that you hooked someone in... Basically tunneling/camping this is what she excels at because she can control it reducing the inconsistencies, with DBD actively trying to stop camping and tunneling you are indirectly nerfing the hag. Things can go very right with her but also extremely wrong, you either play in a none fun way or you start fliping coins.
That's something that always bothered me about those types of discussions. Sure, Nurse can teleport through the games obstacles, Spirit can go invisible and can be very hard to track, Blight can zip around like sonic, but are people really ignoring the killer than can instantaneously teleport to any trap and immediately follow it up with an attack?
she claps at high mmr pubs but if you’ve seen someone play hag at a tournament you can see why she’s sometimes left out. If all four survivors communicate and now exactly how to deal with a hag, you’re going to have a horrible time. She’s high tier yeah, but not tournament level
The ending is actually really interesting. It feels like the gaming space is maturing in some ways. In 2016-2018 it was all about gimmicks, innovation, trying something new. But as it's gone on, we've realised what people like, and we're sticking to it. Building was new, it was interesting, it captured peoples imaginations. And then we realised people like to shoot people not wood. A killer like hag is interesting, new, provides a different playstyle to the game... Are we going to realise that everyone really just enjoys loops and chases? There's this tendency when looking at trends to homogenise people, to treat outliers as not individuals with tastes and preferences but data points that don't fit the graph and should be ignored. Who's to say people enjoy the "wrong" thing about fortnight? That enjoying building and the new dynamcy it brings to the space is an inferior waste of breath? Who's to say enjoying the feeling of being a cunning mastermind, setting up death traps as hag is an inferior waste of breath? Maybe the charm is in the fact that people don't like those things. Maybe it's the interesting outliers that make the chart worth drawing in the first place.
I actually can't stand chase-oriented killers. Setting up traps and corralling survivors into them is the fun part. Holding W and breaking wood is not. However, as your MMR increases every second you spend setting a trap is at least 2 generator-seconds lost. So at a certain point, not getting in a chase immediately is a liability. Trap killers stop being viable.
"I've always been much more interested in emotionally interfacing with my games than trying to win them" Holy shit. I just committed to the Lord of Frenzied Flame ending in Elden Ring for this exact reason.
Sadly she has officially been reworked recently. You can't use the flashlight to break her runes anymore. Instead, much like Trapper's bear traps, you can sneak up to them and interact to disable them.
Dude remember space coconut going on a quest to get to red ranks as hag and everyone was like "wow, what a challenge" like a week before she became the strongest killer in the game breifly?
In the right hands the Hag can be punishing. She was the first killer I made it to rank 1 with. But if you go against a sweaty SWF team armed with flashlights things can go bad depending on what add-ons you are using.
I remember back when I was new he was one of the best sources for the blooming hag main that I was, despite him being honestly quite an ass. The dude has made the switch to VHS nowadays.
I actually watch the guy who has 2/3rd of Hag's WRs (he has longest win streak and fasted 4k) streams. He outright refuses to use Mint Rag because of how powerful it is. His main add-ons are Shackles and Teleport Range. He says don't use Trigger Range because the stock range is the same as your lunge. Edit: more detail.
Yup. The Trigger range addons are indeed so bad that they'd actually be good addons if they had the reverse effect. Making the trigger range 10/20/30% smaller. Also: Hi there. :) And yes, I will indeed NOT use Mint Rag.
Hag is my main and i really freaking wish they would touch her addons. Watching all the other killers getting fun addon effects and Hag still having Grandmas heart and Deaf boy's ear (WHICH DO NOTHING) hurts my soul.
@@tristanporter7195 tbf he doesnt do the killers that he dosent really like in favor of the ones that he dose like....he hasn't done trickster or plage either...he said in a deathslinger stream once that he dosent like ranged killers with that type of ranged power....so bet he's been avoiding them for a hot minute, especially since ranged killers are ven harder to master on Playstation
They did a lot more than her trap setting-her add-ons were also altered. Her add-ons used to have a benefit and a downside, like increased trap setting speed at the cost of decreased trap setting range.
nah you're right. That update is why Hag gets ranked high on tierlists now. She used to take FOREVER placing traps. It was a huge buff, which made him saying she was untouched weird. She's just a rare case of DBD doing exactly what they needed to the first time.
is it bad that I actually like playing the hag the most? I haven't bought any killers though so she's the only one I can play okay with (bc she's kind of camp-y to be fair) and I kind of like that no one likes or talks about her much because then people are a little more surprised when you play her and I get to indulge in my old 2016 hipstery guilty pleasure of liking the unpopular thing
feel the same way, i struggled to find a high tier killer I was good at until I said fuck it and gave her a try. Now she’s my niche high difficulty killer I can claim to be good at, because blight and nurse just didn’t work for me
3:27 Actually, you're slower because the Hag is slowly getting petrified, aka turning into a stone, basically. It's why The Hag drinks blood, as it reverses that process.
16:02 “They’ll put a microphone up to the office washing machine for a new chase theme.” Had me dying right in the middle of my gym when I heard that 🤣
I love your Dead by Daylight videos man. It feels like you bring such a fresh breath of air with your point of view and way of speaking, it feels so much different than just “this is how to play Hag. These are her perks. These are her add-ons.”, I don’t know how to describe it well, but I’ll try. You bring a lot of the sarcastic, detached (not bad detached) vibe that this game desperately needs. I feel people are too wrapped up and attached to this game nowadays (I am no exception), take it way to seriously and invest a lot of energy into its bad parts. They strip it down to its bare bones mechanics and only the meta perks, how to win and not win, etc. You bring the vibe of someone who cares about this game but looks at it as a whole, not just it’s present state or meta, which is refreshing to see. Plus your way with humor is awesome and EXTREMELY refreshing!! Your content never fails to put a smile on my face. Thanks dude!
Of course dude, since I've left this comment I find that when I play DbD I think "eh. lets have fun. who cares about meta" and just enjoying my time on the game much more, and I think your videos are a part of my mindset now, so thanks again!
The starting analogy was amazing man. Like your stuff is funny but as an audience I feel like we don't give you enough credit for how clever your writing and video making is- keep it up!
The Hag doesn't need a rework like other recent killers because it already had one a couple of years ago to buff the trap setting base speed, which turned her into a much stronger character. The existing addons are mostly all useful and any changes by BHVR will only be in the negative direction so it's best they are not touched, either. Hag is not meant to be a chase killer, only going at 110% speed, so right there that will confuse the more dumb players on how to use her properly, which is setting traps in advance of chases. She works well for those who figure out the unique gameplay associate with it.
Hag is my favorite killer. In my eyes she has all the best parts of Trapper and Twins without the downsides. (Though she has weaknesses of her own). She’s certainly very campy, but she has more to her power than that as well. To this day one of my favorite things to do with her is to force a survivor to choose whether they think I or my phantasm is the greater threat. Being in multiple places at once isn’t something many killers can do so elegantly.
Idk how you do it. Your explanations are precise, accurate and well presented. At the same time, you make sarcastic jokes that also further the point and offer additional information. And it's incredibly funny, as well as useful and interesting.
Hag's taking that Twins spot of underused character, I seriously almost never see her and keep bumping into Slugging Nurses, Curving Blights, Trickster downing you in 0.1 milliseconds because there were no walls nearby when doing a gen in the open and, worst of all, Plague players..
Hags one of the only killers who scares me when i trigger her traps especially if i dont expect a trap like in the middle of no where. Usually i expect them near a pallet or door or gens but sometimes they will just be in the middle of map for no reason lol
its extremely hilarious that Rowby of all people unironically likes RCPD. also the Hag, she needs her trap setting time increased, and also make it to where she can teleport to her traps if the survivors drop a pallet near it or blow up a gen near it, and also making her traps solid with collision as base kit instead of an add on, she would be insane
I may be mistaken but I feel like the hag did get some changes, I don't think the hand addon was there on release and I remember an update that made the traps deploy quicker. Again, I may be wrong about it.
A lore reason for Hag being slow would be that she was in a fucked up situation where her muscles atrophied immensely, at least if iirc, it makes sense that rotted muscle would struggle to move a human skeleton but the voodoo magic somewhat compensates for her and allows her to move more maybe? it's a bit of headcannon but eh
@@poopfart9801 yeayea she was basically tortured and tied up until entity essentially gave her a buff and she killed them with some voodoo or the entity did it for her, but she was a little girl that was kidnapped and withered out before the entity stepped in for the save
My guide on hag: Just like trapper, hag has few type of traps. First trap is protection traps. This traps are gonna protect the totems and gens the place you set them. Always place those but dont overdo it. Your max limit for this is 4 traps. Second trap is guaranteed hit trap. This traps are the traps that guarantees a hit. Place this on pallets and windows, teleport the moment they step on it and free hit. Like nurse blinks, this is unavoidable you can down survivors in miliseconds and skip chases with this. Third one is prediction traps. This trap is the trap that you place in random patches of grass near gens. If survivor steps two or three of those, he gets a hit. Fourth one is Plan breaker AKA "You may have outsmarted me but i outsmarted your outsmarting" traps. This traps are the ones that gets chained along traps. If someone does bait your traps, this will catch them off guard. If there is an open area like the fields, predict where are they gonna go.
Hey man, not like I’m here for just the gag, I value your take on any part of this game. Even if you did a trickster vid, which you won’t because you have standards, I’d just kick back and enjoy you furiously roasting every part of his kit and lore.
she used to have a mud effect when leaving portals so you couldn't attack instantly, she also placed slower basekit - also she wasn't released in the game's "beta", she was release at least 7 months after that beta when the game was released fully on Steam
As nemsis I actually did this with ruin for a good 40 seconds because they were trying to loop with a pallet all of the progress they did went to zero so yep ruin is a great passive.
I'm a brand new player and Empathy blows my mind because it basically lets you see people whenever you actually need to see them. The only exception is when I'm injured but even then I rather just use my plunderers instinct to go get a med kit
"Call of Brine" is the new Ruin. But instead of regressing the generator it alerts the killer it's being worked it. It also runs out and needs to be reapplied by the killer, but the survivors also don't know that they're under the effect of Call of Brine.
This is why I'm personally hoping for instead of new killers. Killer update chapters. Give us real trailers, update powers and looks for the older killers, aside from Nurse and Doc. So that way, rather then having them feel off in this new environment, they get up to speed, and it doesn't feel like a gamble when playing survivor if you're gonna have a free game, or a hard game.
No lore excuse for her being slower? What about, I dunno, all her muscles were flayed off her bones, and replaced by the Entity with mud and sheer fucking willpower? That'd leave you a bit slower than at your prime, I'd think. And she's not an old lady, she's a young girl that only looks like a hag because of the aforementioned torture.
i know there was the little meme at the end but I've been getting back into overwatch and having a surprising amount of fun. i'd be down for an OW video
Wait. Ruin got reworked because "It was used in 80% of games in high ranks and 45% of games overall"??? HOW IS THAT DIFFERENT FROM DEAD HARD????? This is why I say BHVR loves Survivors more than Killers...
(15:49) Fort was in the name Fortnite because there's another mode that was being developed before the abandoned it for BR (you can still play it but it's been effectively put on maintenance mode with the community getting the scraps of it's more popular younger, more profitable sibling), where you built a Fort and defended it for an extended period of time. Hence, Fortnite. They restructured and renamed it to Fortnite: Save the World since by that time Fortnite had become a brand.
"The fact that her name is the hag and her favorite song is probably by Elton Jon" got me laughing so hard. I now understand why I mained her for so long.
To attempt to answer you ship question, being "if you have a ship and start replacing parts of the ship, at what point does it become a different ship?" It will remain the same ship no matter what, it's not about what the ship is made of, it's about what the ship symbolizes.
Empathy seems like it's gotten uprooted by how powerful Boon: Circle of Healing is. It takes a while to set up a boon, but trying to find an injured survivor and heal them with Empathy would also take a while. With Boons you can set it and forget it, and hopefully someone takes advantage of it, whereas Empathy only helps you find someone who is hopefully in a position to be healed (and hopefully you can get to without being spotted by the killer.) On an unrelated note, it also lets bad players like me see someone healing on a hook, run towards them, and accidentally set off a hag trap, because why would you heal *on top* of the trap?
I JUST STARTED PLAYING THIS GAME AND HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE AND TRIED TO FIND A GUIDE JUST TO HAVE MY DECISIONS RIPPED INTO AND RIDICULED FOR 5 MINS LMAOOOO
They did a lot more than the footsteps. Back in the day, she was one of the worst killers in the game. She had a stupidly long trap setting time, and almost all of her add-ons came with a minuscule upside with an abhorrent downside, like increased setting speed at the cost of decreased teleport range, and increased trap range at the cost of decreased trap duration. They buffed her around the middle of 2018 if I’m not mistaken, alongside Trapper with new add-on changes and trap setting speed buffs.
I saw a video of a guy testing regression with ruin and without it. With ruin a 99’d gen takes about 2 1/2 minutes to regress to 0. And without ruin it takes over 5 minutes.
so many guides and tutorials miss one vital information about the hags power ie trap. i see so many hags lay 1-5 traps for example at a hooked survivor , because they think the trap triangle mark on the floor is the trap itself however its not, there is circumference that can be visibly seen by the hag , this can be widened by add ons, so trap activation is the entire of the trap and not just the triangle shape that appears after youve placed trap. knowing this would improve and help a lot of players who main or want to use the hag. for example putting traps nears window vaults is not a good idea because traps can be activated away from where you teleport too, so why is the triangle mark , its to inform u as hag theres a trap there and its the point of the trap where the hags phantasm appears from and where u as the hag replaces the phantasm.
It is 2023, and they updated the hag! Because ig some developer got lightburned too many times as wraith against flashbang and so BHVR decided they're now only for blinding
Hag is one of the only killers that still scares me sometimes and that is the real reason i started playing dbd in the first place. I wish they would go back to this and make more killers with jump scares and all that, very hard to be scared by a short neon purple singer in a neon yellow curtain. Sadakos scary sometiumes tho
Agreed. So many hours in the game, and as I look for key hub details to know who the killer is -"BLEAAAGH".

I have played versus hag 3 times ever since I started playing the game, one of those times was the only one I have ever been jumpscared by a killer.
I just saw how old this video is, and now I feel hella old.💀
0:12 exactly, it’s power play.
Idk how you do it. Your explanations are precise, accurate and well presented. At the same time, you make sarcastic jokes that also further the point and offer additional information. And it's incredibly funny, as well as useful and interesting.
They have updated her, notably they made it significantly faster to place traps than on release
"You really Clicked on That. Like, Really?"
Yes, Because The Floran Hag Outfits are the Best Hag outfits. Fight me.
My man threw in an Armstrong reference and had his outdo be A Stranger I Remain. That’s a pretty meme, exquisite!
Hag's taking that Twins spot of underused character, I seriously almost never see her and keep bumping into Slugging Nurses, Curving Blights, Trickster downing you in 0.1 milliseconds because there were no walls nearby when doing a gen in the open and, worst of all, Plague players..
Plague? Weird killer to complain about. She’s neither common nor top tier.
@@Hoosje11
Ever played against a decent Plague in solo queue?
I don't play dead by daylight (not my type of game), but love people explaining, theory crafting and giving advice about games.
Hags one of the only killers who scares me when i trigger her traps especially if i dont expect a trap like in the middle of no where. Usually i expect them near a pallet or door or gens but sometimes they will just be in the middle of map for no reason lol
its extremely hilarious that Rowby of all people unironically likes RCPD. also the Hag, she needs her trap setting time increased, and also make it to where she can teleport to her traps if the survivors drop a pallet near it or blow up a gen near it, and also making her traps solid with collision as base kit instead of an add on, she would be insane
I may be mistaken but I feel like the hag did get some changes, I don't think the hand addon was there on release and I remember an update that made the traps deploy quicker.
Again, I may be wrong about it.
A lore reason for Hag being slow would be that she was in a fucked up situation where her muscles atrophied immensely, at least if iirc, it makes sense that rotted muscle would struggle to move a human skeleton but the voodoo magic somewhat compensates for her and allows her to move more maybe? it's a bit of headcannon but eh
I always thought one of her foot was eaten by the cannibals but I'd have to check
@@poopfart9801 yeayea she was basically tortured and tied up until entity essentially gave her a buff and she killed them with some voodoo or the entity did it for her, but she was a little girl that was kidnapped and withered out before the entity stepped in for the save
I didn’t click on this for the thumbnail. I came to hear you talk about a game I play. And you delivered.
They nerfed ruin to 100 percent regression and it gets rid of its self when a survivor dies
I always forget Hag even exists and when I do remember her I thank God that Ruin showed up in the blood web during my first month of playing.
My guide on hag:
Just like trapper, hag has few type of traps. First trap is protection traps. This traps are gonna protect the totems and gens the place you set them. Always place those but dont overdo it. Your max limit for this is 4 traps. Second trap is guaranteed hit trap. This traps are the traps that guarantees a hit. Place this on pallets and windows, teleport the moment they step on it and free hit. Like nurse blinks, this is unavoidable you can down survivors in miliseconds and skip chases with this. Third one is prediction traps. This trap is the trap that you place in random patches of grass near gens. If survivor steps two or three of those, he gets a hit.
Fourth one is Plan breaker AKA "You may have outsmarted me but i outsmarted your outsmarting" traps. This traps are the ones that gets chained along traps. If someone does bait your traps, this will catch them off guard. If there is an open area like the fields, predict where are they gonna go.
Hey man, not like I’m here for just the gag, I value your take on any part of this game. Even if you did a trickster vid, which you won’t because you have standards, I’d just kick back and enjoy you furiously roasting every part of his kit and lore.
10:51 blud was starring
"The only other killer that was minimally reworked like her, to my knowledge, is Myers"
"Pyramid Head has entered the chat"
Thumbnail is insanely drawn. Thsts why i clicked it
This video was a big nostalgia trip thanks
Can we appreciate how Rowby never fails to make a great video? Every singe video of his is absolutely amazing!
I only clicked this so I can learn and only use the knowledge for completing the 4th tome book challenges which includes Hag and Ace.
This just made my day 19 times better
she used to have a mud effect when leaving portals so you couldn't attack instantly, she also placed slower basekit - also she wasn't released in the game's "beta", she was release at least 7 months after that beta when the game was released fully on Steam
Been waiting for it
Bruh. That intro. I was legit hyped when I saw this video’s title and thumbnail.
As nemsis I actually did this with ruin for a good 40 seconds because they were trying to loop with a pallet all of the progress they did went to zero so yep ruin is a great passive.
I remember when Hag first came out her trap screech caused my ear to bleed, it was that loud lol
Also yeah reason 1is why I barely use totems lol
I'm a brand new player and Empathy blows my mind because it basically lets you see people whenever you actually need to see them. The only exception is when I'm injured but even then I rather just use my plunderers instinct to go get a med kit
Love your editing style!
Thumbnail is cutest Hag art I've seen.
6:11 are we just not gonna talk about this smooth af transition
"Call of Brine" is the new Ruin. But instead of regressing the generator it alerts the killer it's being worked it. It also runs out and needs to be reapplied by the killer, but the survivors also don't know that they're under the effect of Call of Brine.
I played against a Hag who used mint rag
I was completely oblivious to the fact that this addon exists even though I am with this game since day 1 lol
This is why I'm personally hoping for instead of new killers. Killer update chapters. Give us real trailers, update powers and looks for the older killers, aside from Nurse and Doc. So that way, rather then having them feel off in this new environment, they get up to speed, and it doesn't feel like a gamble when playing survivor if you're gonna have a free game, or a hard game.
Dang that last part got really nostalgic
Dead Hard, DS, BT, and Iron Will. The build that has NEVER FUCKING CHANGED!
I never had an issue with the Hag. I just assumed because I never won against her in a match that it meant she had to be a good killer.
I watch dbd content for almost a year and never knew this killer exist😂
No lore excuse for her being slower? What about, I dunno, all her muscles were flayed off her bones, and replaced by the Entity with mud and sheer fucking willpower? That'd leave you a bit slower than at your prime, I'd think. And she's not an old lady, she's a young girl that only looks like a hag because of the aforementioned torture.
i know there was the little meme at the end but I've been getting back into overwatch and having a surprising amount of fun. i'd be down for an OW video
I worry that now that you've casted attention upon the "Squeek floor board" we're gonna get that fix
Stranger i remain without vocals for outro? Ah,i see you are a man of culture as well.
I'm a Plague main & I'm awaiting this hypothetical plague video of yours
A stranger I remain. One of my favorite songs from Mgr.
I come in to hear your take on how to play Hag and get insulted for my choice in having fun with hag. 10/10 intro
Wait. Ruin got reworked because "It was used in 80% of games in high ranks and 45% of games overall"??? HOW IS THAT DIFFERENT FROM DEAD HARD????? This is why I say BHVR loves Survivors more than Killers...
(15:49) Fort was in the name Fortnite because there's another mode that was being developed before the abandoned it for BR (you can still play it but it's been effectively put on maintenance mode with the community getting the scraps of it's more popular younger, more profitable sibling), where you built a Fort and defended it for an extended period of time. Hence, Fortnite.
They restructured and renamed it to Fortnite: Save the World since by that time Fortnite had become a brand.
Rowby, I am a simple man. The thumbnail doesn't matter, I see new Rowby, I click.
Love how Rowby preached about DMS and now it’s actually good
NEW ROWBY VIDEO LETS FUCKING GOOOO MY DAY IS SAVED
"The fact that her name is the hag and her favorite song is probably by Elton Jon" got me laughing so hard. I now understand why I mained her for so long.
One of the things about me is that i am OP at any character that is overly hated. I don’t think i have lost a game in a while
To attempt to answer you ship question, being "if you have a ship and start replacing parts of the ship, at what point does it become a different ship?" It will remain the same ship no matter what, it's not about what the ship is made of, it's about what the ship symbolizes.
Between Dragon's Fang and MYC with Mint Rag and Rusty Shackles, Hag can drop people insanely fast.
There's something so fitting that the most popular hashtag about this game on Twitter is misspelled.
"The demogorgan can pick where he teleports but he has to ride the Mta to get there"
If she was made today, she wouldn't be able to attack after teleporting
Empathy seems like it's gotten uprooted by how powerful Boon: Circle of Healing is. It takes a while to set up a boon, but trying to find an injured survivor and heal them with Empathy would also take a while. With Boons you can set it and forget it, and hopefully someone takes advantage of it, whereas Empathy only helps you find someone who is hopefully in a position to be healed (and hopefully you can get to without being spotted by the killer.)
On an unrelated note, it also lets bad players like me see someone healing on a hook, run towards them, and accidentally set off a hag trap, because why would you heal *on top* of the trap?
You actually killed me with the comment about Hag being the last creaky floorboard of DBD.
Its good to see a video from you again
I used to main Hag before I did actually quit the game. Always come back for these videos tho.
That outro music was what i was looking for fr
ive mained hag for 3 years ive been looking forward to this.
I came for the memes and stayed for the sub-par content. I love this channel
Because I am a stranger who has found an even stranger war. I've finally found what I've BEEN LOOKING FOR..
I JUST STARTED PLAYING THIS GAME AND HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE AND TRIED TO FIND A GUIDE JUST TO HAVE MY DECISIONS RIPPED INTO AND RIDICULED FOR 5 MINS LMAOOOO
They did a lot more than the footsteps. Back in the day, she was one of the worst killers in the game.
She had a stupidly long trap setting time, and almost all of her add-ons came with a minuscule upside with an abhorrent downside, like increased setting speed at the cost of decreased teleport range, and increased trap range at the cost of decreased trap duration.
They buffed her around the middle of 2018 if I’m not mistaken, alongside Trapper with new add-on changes and trap setting speed buffs.
I saw a video of a guy testing regression with ruin and without it. With ruin a 99’d gen takes about 2 1/2 minutes to regress to 0. And without ruin it takes over 5 minutes.
Hex ruin paired with thrilling tremors works really well with killers like Myres and pig
so many guides and tutorials miss one vital information about the hags power ie trap. i see so many hags lay 1-5 traps for example at a hooked survivor , because they think the trap triangle mark on the floor is the trap itself however its not, there is circumference that can be visibly seen by the hag , this can be widened by add ons, so trap activation is the entire of the trap and not just the triangle shape that appears after youve placed trap. knowing this would improve and help a lot of players who main or want to use the hag. for example putting traps nears window vaults is not a good idea because traps can be activated away from where you teleport too, so why is the triangle mark , its to inform u as hag theres a trap there and its the point of the trap where the hags phantasm appears from and where u as the hag replaces the phantasm.
The opening caught me OFF GAURD LMAO 🤣 😂 😆 💀
It is 2023, and they updated the hag!
Because ig some developer got lightburned too many times as wraith against flashbang and so BHVR decided they're now only for blinding
