Idk how ppl can defend them it's a joke at this point the good is never really that good cause the game itself is stale for me no new mechanics and the attempts to implement some have fallen flat like invocation and boon perks.
By the way, they removed the option to purchase her obscenely overpriced legendary skin with iridescent shards, now it's entirely locked behind auric cells.
Now it's impossible to target a gen to send the dog to search, and when finally target the gen the dog instead of go from point a to point b in a direct line, if he finds a jungle jim he go inside then outside and then continue his way to the gen
Her search command is still so incredibly inconsistent and clunky and i feel miserable using it to target generators and exit gates and even more miserable trying to use her power in indoor maps, but the worst thing about this killer is this the most fun i’ve had playing killer, she would probably be the most fun killer to play if she wasn’t riddled with bugs.
Also when survivors leave scratch free from the dog bite by simply dropping a pallet and they have ZERO downsides, no hindred no mangle/hemorrhage not even exhausted for a second, and it feels so unbelievably disappointing that seeing how extremely hard it is to hit survivors with the dog and how they can pretty much use their get out of jail card.
I have been using search more and more in chase and its so good, you hit someone they got speed boost but you give yourself one too, similarly with exhaustion perks and as it is just 0.5 sec cooldown its basically free, you don't even need to wait for the dog as he finishes search near you he doesn't stay in place at all, just barks once and power is back
I can't be the only one complaining about snug's hitbox right? It's arguably the most easiest thing to dodge next to Unknown's uvx and a slow huntress hatchet. It would be forgiven if snug's chase speed wasn't so slow
…I really don't think they need to fix wraith serpent add-on. I already destroy the average player with it because how fast you can kick things when you really lean into it. I meant its faster for me to just kick the gen you are on then it is to uncloak to the point if you only start running when I kick the thing you only get like 5 feet from it!
my tiny gripe about Houndmaster is one of her voice lines "enough theatrics". Dracula already says "stop with the theatrics". what's up with BHVR's obsession with that word lately? I don't doubt BHVR will make the next killer say it again.
Well look at the bright side, just like with merchant, after a bad and boring killer is released, then a cool and good killer is released! Merchant -> Singularity, then Chucky -> Unknown , Hound Master -> probably a good killer! Because they can't afford to keep releasing dog poop constantly.
(and some will say Chucky is a good killer, brother, if the killer was good on release then why did his power already got reworked??? That's not the mark of a good killer, Singularity and Unknown have had simple number changes since release, with both starting out extremely weak in their PTBs, both having complex and skill-based powers, one as a trap/surveillance killer who has to worry about correct power placement and quick-thinking while the other has to both set up hallucinations on advance while in chase and hit extremely hard shots with how the UVX ricochets. No need for a dash power.)
Search mode in chase is actually pretty nutty. I think that the brown 2% search path speed addon is among her best now. I've been ending chases so much earlier when survivors hold forward away and even on some long loops- the fact that there's basically no cooldown and it stacks with haste and lunge perks…. idk feels busted.
They pretty much broke her ability to quickly send the dog to a gen or totem. It doesn't want to lock on, and when it does it's easy for the arrow to skip off the target by the time you give the command. Also it's sometimes hard to tell which mode the dog is in at a glance when the commands aren't on the screen yet. I need to know what the dog doin'!
I am ready for it to take 6 months for them to fix the Houndmaster. It took them 6 months to fix Skull Merchant when they knew she was broken? This one will take at least 4-6 months.
I’m glad you genuinely love her. I do too. I also hope she doesn’t get the Twins treatment because she is fun and I love her design, story, and of course Snug.

I've had almost no bugs with her. She is still awful
I don't think the pendulum thing is correct, as what proof is there for it
You can still criticize bhvr for the fucked up AI. Since if they couldn't do it properly yet, why did they REVOLVE THE ENTIRE POWER AROUND IT

Easy fix for the dog dragging: give it the same movement logic as Struggling on the shoulder.
I will say that using the search command now mid chase is really rewarding since it’s a little more consistent ( take this with a grain of salt )

my dog leaped a pallet got stunned and was floating sideways for the rest of the match lmao

And now we have a new bug with Dance With Me where your teammates trigger your perk for you across the entire map making it nearly useless.
He said he doesn’t like her before but I think he does with the bug monitored
FIX THE FUCKIN FLASHBANGS

They made her worst than she was before.

felt worse to play, idk if i got used to the old bugs but like im having trouble even selecting a patrol gen and sometimes the dog just flies?😮💨
Twins move aside, hound master is here
Throw the whole killer away 😂

Time for BHVR to admit that they can’t do killers with a second Ai control
No Chihuahua skin is the actual root problem

This is/was BHVRs opportunity to show improvement from the 2020 Twins situation. I don’t think it’s a great look so far
