#6201 Overpowered Ghoul (Kaneki) Mechanics Undermine Survivor Counterplay

275 °C

The Ghoul’s base kit has S-tier mobility, anti-loop, and forgiving mechanics leaving survivors with zero counterplay options.
Kaneki’s Kagune Leaps allow him to cross large maps at extreme speeds with virtually no distance penalty for mistakes.
Core loop design is undermined because holding W loses to Kaneki’s speed, and staying at a tile gets you hit over the barrier.
Kaneki’s Enraged Mode grants him a third leap, faster vault speeds, and an extended duration that pauses or slows while survivors mend.
The QTE prompt during grab-attacks extends Enraged Mode on success but carries no penalty if failed.
A generous grab-attack detection radius and forgiving collision hitboxes make it easy for players to get high-value downs without mechanical skill.
To fix these issues, increase the fatigue cooldown animation for missed Kagune Leaps, add a clear penalty for failed grab-attack QTEs, and decrease the grab-attack radius at pallets to prevent survivors from being pulled through solid cover.
