The wiggle time can be buffed?

I would like to know if you can buff the wiggle off timer to 10-12 seconds instead of 15 seconds? I think it will reduce from the saltyness of the survivor player base and will be a good adition to the game. It is stupid to be able to carry a survivor on the shoulder for 16.8 seconds if you have iron grasp guys. I just have some games that were very (and I mean VERY unpleasant) because of the wiggle mechanic.
PS: It is not necessary to buff the base wiggle timer (even tho it would be nice) you can try to rework the Boil Over perk to be a perfect counter for iron grasp (75% wiggle effects and 12% reduced time to wiggle off instead of the distorsion of the hooks that are in the proximity)
Please consider this opinion or at least explain to me why you cant buff it (if it is not possible to be buffed)

No, you may not have free escapes from the Killer's shoulder.
First, this is nerff second without any perk a killer can carry toy 50 meters so if you sabo one hook the killer can't hook you ( IG give 10 meeter more) if something like this happens you will make it easier for survivors to escape.
No, never should this be considered. Ever. The killer caught you fair and square. Nothing short of a coordinated effort by your team should save you from the hook. The wiggle feature does not exist to give survivors a reliable chance to escape. It exists to keep the killer from taking you to the basement every time.
The biggest problem with this is how a change can fix some things but cause more problems with others. Enter bodyblocking, basically. Having less time to hit those in your way would be a travesty.
I definitely agree with the notion to buff Boil Over though. Boil Over needs to be better.
Not a change to the base. A potential buff to Boil Over
That is all what needs to be said about this topic. Wiggle is not supposed to be an guaranteed escape, it should just prevent the killer from hooking everyone in the basement.
I would like to ask you one question.
Do you like being slugged on the floor, helpless and waiting to bleed out such that your misery ends?
The problem I see with that is that I think boil over is already effective in certain maps like Haddonfield, Springwood and Lery's. It might turn up OP in said maps if it's buffed.
You (by that I mean the Survivors) do NOT need another second chance!
You got caught, you get hooked.
You don’t seem to have understood the point of the whole wiggle action. It is NOT meant to free you from the Killer, instead it is supposed to limit the Killers ability to choose which hook you get hooked on, so you don’t end up in the basement every single time.
if you [BAD WORD] up the chase, you get punished. I do not believe you should gain yet another second chance.
Think twice before you post. A perk already exists to escape from the killer. We do not need a change to the Main Mechanic, but a Buff for Boil Over.
Please for the love of God, no

Yes but if you dont run DS, killers dont have to have optimal routing to get to a hook, you can run into a dozen things before making up your mind and still make the hook. Issue really is killers get Invinc frames in the hook animation. People keep using logic here as an arguement, well I think a survivor is going to kick you in your chest if you try to hook them, no invinc frame.
It would be a niche perk, but if you play killer a lot you'll have hooks memorized anyways. Hook obsecuring is 12m, you can get to hooks I believe you can get up to 50m without carrying perks. (correct me if im wrong)
I think the wiggle time is fine. just change it from wiggling your joystick to smash a button or two like on pc. So many times I've been wiggling and the bar just stops from accidentally hitting the other joystick
As a survivor main I would like 1 less second because the amount of time im 99% of wriggle and I get hooked is FuwuKING NUTS. As a killer if the wriggle bar was 1 second lower I would probably never kill anyone ever.
Buff boil over maybe but it can't be too strong. I think at max it would be able to be like 6% tbh or we will have a more OP D strike.
The only thing I think that should be changed about the carry mechanic is killer should get a little stun that increases the wiggle success a little. I think it makes logical sense that you can't jump off a second floor of a building with a Claudette wriggling to holy hell and not have your grip partially loosen. Even if this was like a 5% chance at a full escape I think that could make some cool moments and careful plays.
I was talking about all the bumping into obstacles, doorframes and such.
This has nothing to do with a free escape, it has something to do with balance. But it looks like you don't know what this word means, look it up and educate yourself.
A killer shouldn't be able to carry a survivor across half of the map to the basement. Right now wiggling is completely useless.
Yeah pretty balanced. After killer had to get a survivor just let him escape again.
they could buff boil over a small amount not much at all. As for increasing wiggle progression rate , no. I say no as a survivor main. That’s why there are so many damn hooks on the maps now.
You're right, they shouldn't be able to do that.
And they can't.
Do you just press the wiggle button once every 30 seconds?
The wiggle bar only exist so that the killer cannot literally and figuratively hold you hostage. The wiggle bar was never intended to be a reliable means of escape unless your team co-ordinates a body blocking/hook destroying plan.
I just hate when a Killer messes up on where to carry me, or I got downed in a good spot to not be hooked...and I have a damn pixel left on the wiggle bar and they get to Hook me after wiggling for what seemed like forever.
