Explanation

When playing as Houndmaster, the dog’s pull strength during a successful grab feels significantly weaker than intended. The dog is supposed to pull the survivor toward the Houndmaster, but currently survivors are able to drag the dog around with very little resistance. Instead of being pulled toward the killer, the survivor can continue moving and effectively control the direction, which defeats the purpose of the ability.

This makes the power feel unreliable and inconsistent with its intended design. The dog should apply stronger force to the survivor so that once they are caught, they are pulled toward the Houndmaster rather than the survivor being able to move freely and reposition.

Expected Behavior:

The dog should strongly pull the survivor toward the Houndmaster after a successful grab.

Survivors should not be able to drag the dog around or move freely against the pull.

Actual Behavior:

Survivors can move with minimal resistance and drag the dog around.

The pull effect does not reliably bring the survivor toward the Houndmaster.

Suggested Fix:
Increase the dog’s pull force or limit survivor movement while the pull effect is active so the ability functions as intended.
