Although I’m a Killer main, I’m glad to see that the Hook Grabs are finally going away, but I am sad to see that BNP is getting quite the nerf. It’ll be interesting to see how this all plays out in the end, especially now that every lobby is going to be full ofNicolas Cages spouting offunique voice lines. I’m just glad that Killers can’t hear him talk; otherwise, he would have easily earned a top spot in ourloudest survivorslist.
