While some believe that Blight’s Hug Tech is an exploit that should be bannable, I think it adds to his charm as an extra mechanic! Remember this is just my opinion, but what do y’all think?
Lilith Omen also made a video on the topic, go check it out:

its not an exploit it is part of the game.
it is a skill thing, like Huntress hitting you thruw small holes.
mfs are just mad they got shit on lmao

I consider it like rocket jumping in tf2. Not intentional, but has a skill curve.
Imagine Bubba could prevent Tantrums by just looking down while he Chainsaw Sprints, now tell me if you think that'd be fine to leave in the game as a "tech"
They hell do you mean the hug tech is risky? It’s faster and takes less rushes to preform a hug tech than it is to use bump logic. The hug tech is an exploit and should be fixed.
I was about to say the same things as 360s cause yeah the devs definitely didn’t mean for that to be possible but if you can do it then good on you. Same thing for CJ techs like it’s easily counter able but we should be able to do it if the killer falls for it. And the hug tech seems like the same thing but for killers, it actually demonstrates skill to know about things like that and to be able to do it
I don't think spinning should exist the same as I don't think hug tech can exist. Its definitely fun for the person doing it but being on the other end of it is really frustrating, especially if the blight is really good at it. There really is no counterable loop other than small transition pallets that are already unsafe.
It wouldn't call it an exploit as much as Id call it a bug. Just chuck a collision point on the Y axis of his head. Then run around the maps putting short wall collision points on everything at a 0.01% offset to terrain. You may get some weird bump points, But I feel it will take blight into the pinball he's supposed to be rather than just having a crazy speed boost on the backside of what is supposed to be a safe loop.
Again, As someone who pretty much only plays survivor I'm probably a little biased here. I just find a really good blight the same tier as a really good nurse. The window for counter play is so small that it becomes less about mind games and more about twitch movement. In a game where I can be hit with a 1m gap between the killer and myself makes it incredibly frustrating to try and outplay and becomes more about luck based around invisible collision.
Hug tech is awesome, the definition of emergent gameplay. Like rocket jumping in FPS games/ Butterfly style in GunZ:The Duel.
I think it definitely should be removed. Part of blights original design was that he’d have to bump from one place to another and he can’t go around corners while doing it. Hug “techs” are 100% and exploit, and I think should be removed (along with slippery surfaces lol) Blight’a super strong anyway
All exploits that are being used to get an edge on the opponent should be ban able
I feel like it’s in a very solid state right now. It gives me the same feel as current dead hard and how it is very solid when learned and used correctly, useless if you can’t do it well or at all, and absolutely incredible when done consistently with good accuracy.
I always found the hug tech to be incredible especially when they successfully pull it off to get a hit, because there's never a 100% guarantee even if you do the hug tech that it'll result a hit or down. So I definitely agree they should either fix the collision boxes for Blight on maps or leave Hug tech as is.
Ofc is should not be bannable, but im really think its a bug and cheap tech and should be fixed.
Honestly agreed.
If they remove it.
Fix his collisions.
It's frustrating when you slide against everything and especially surfaces you thought you would bounce off.
Its amazing to see that my original forum post regarding hug tech – the one mandytalk replied to, which is mentioned in the video – has sparked so much debate and discussion within the DBD community. Personally, I believe it should be removed. Not because its overpowered, but because its an objectively worse and less effective way to play blight, which is very harmful to new players learning him. There are many blight players that rely so much on hug tech, without realizing how much its hurting them in the long run.
I feel like Hug Tech should be removed, but rather for a different reason.
Hug Tech isn't exactly canon to Blight's ability; nor is it super easy for new players to learn. It's something that isn't intended and it isn't listed in the ability, so it should be removed to highlight the base design of Blight and the point.
Yes this is, rather fun to do and adds more potential as well as adding a linear ability that rewards skill with lethality, the game does not teach the player to avoid this once they understand the basics of the killer, which does not exist for any other killer in Dead By Daylight, so against a player who is moderately skilled who does not understand what Hug Tech is, they may not understand it when they see it, which leads to confusion. The canon of the Blight's ability is that upon hitting a surface, they will bounce and be able to rush to a new point after hitting that original point, which by itself is a very strong ability considering that Blight is one of the minor killers who gets to move much faster than the regular killer, so adding more unpredictability on-top of that would make Blight less player-friendly for those newer to the game, that and the technique isn't canon either.
Every killer main always complain always like thekiller is way faster can use a power with 1 hit getting survivor down and also camp , survivor best meta perk are nerfed af and now the flashlights
So killer mains stfu u guys are annoying and think u entitled to everything
some of the mechanics in this game like 360'ing, hug tech'ing and even something like sky billy.
it's like smash melee, like that game is basically founded on its broken mechanics, and people were upset when nintendo tried to snuff that part of the community because it wasn't "accessible" or "intended"
Fun fact about spinning and 360, this was a lot harder to pull off in the initial release of the game, because every killers (y'know, all 3 of them) lunge had VERY generous aim assistance. Like, if a survivor was stood right behind you and you swung, you automatically did a 180 to get a hit. You could also use it to find blendettes in dark moon locations, it would even lock on through things like shack walls.
They toned down the aim assist (mostly because it could overcompensate and aim for things you weren't trying to hit, causing you to whiff), so killers would actually have to aim their hits properly and spinning became a thing.
About "hug tech" though. Blight is strong enough as it is, so I wouldn't be sad to see it go. Of course, whether or not BHVR actually gets around to fixing it is another thing.
If they wanna get rid of Wall Blight then get rid of Huntress' ability to cross map hatchet. Smh devs. You listen to entitled survivors too much
Hug tech should be bannable
=
Memorizing hit boxes as Huntress should be bannable
Trapping out in the open should be bannable
Locker fakes should be bannable
it should be removed not bannable
Imo it should be removed. It makes no sense that looking down allows him to slide on a wall then do insane turns that are impossible under normal running conditions. It would be completely stupid applying a buff to other killers for just looking down, and to extend it further to survivors too. Like imagine if huntress had a similar ability, and if she looks down when she throws a hatchet it can curve round shack or something like that. It would be absolutely broken. Or for survivor if they look down then their item has double speed use. Same thing. Just how does looking down make Blights power just not work properly? It makes no sense especially on an already incredibly strong killer with some of the strongest addons
You haven't played in EU then, the amount of god Blights here are way more than average ones. Makes u deeply hate killers like Nurses and Blights, even Spirits sometimes.
I don't think hug tech should stay Soley because as fun as it is to execute, it's never fun on the receiving end. Swf Team 6 players can play around it of course, but the more mundane player when they get hit by it won't have a clue what to do. Nothing on The Blights page mentions that he can slide around corners and will just confuse and annoy survs that don't watch Lillith for an explanation how that's possible.
Just went against that blight tech, I was amazed on how hard I got outplayed like that. I found it fun to go against and anticipate really hard where the blight will hug tech
Imagine people so salty at someone who's better than them that they consider looking down to be an exploit.
The Space Billy example was actually a good one. Why remove fun parts of the game? Why NOT remove boring parts of the game instead?
Keep it in and reduce his power by nerfing his ridiculous addons a bit.
how could they fix this?? it’s seems unintended but unavoidable…the surface of the wall allows the movement, they would have to stop blight from looking down for an easy/quick fix right??
i don't really understand the comparison of a 360 to a hug tech a 360 is just accelerating the velocity of your characters movement by spinning in a circle which can be done in many games due to how movement is coded 360ing is something that isnt superhard to learn and doesnt really give the player an advantage over players that are good at the game hugtech is hard to master and does give at least some significant advantage over other similarly experienced survivors by intentionally ignoring bump logic to catch up quicker and be more efficient with rushes to have a higher chance to catch out a survivor. a 360 is in no way comparable just because it may have been unintentional. it sounds like true killer entitlement to believe that removing 360ing would be in anyway comparable to removing the hugtech.
As a survivor main I don't want hug tech to be fixed. It's always fun to try to predict a Blight move when they're hugging. It's counterable.
I had a training session with a hug techer Blight once at the end of a live match. I welcome it well and without any kind of frustration. It actually adds some thrills in my survival instinct.
I think blight without hug tech is already S tier, considering his add ons as well. Going against a good blight with good add ons that can hug tech, it’s such an unfun mechanic. I don’t understand why it hasn’t been patched out sooner to be honest.

Hey Rapid. I just wanna say that you’re my favourite DBD content creator. You keep it interesting with the commentary and nail every aspect of what makes a video entertaining imo. Thank you for doing what you do, and continue doing it coz whenever there’s a new vid of yours, I’m sure to watch it ☺️
They will most likely fix the hug tech when they rework some of his addons
