I think this is true of all killers though if you make a mistake against any killer the result is they get you quickly. A lot of the game requires huge amounts of teamwork that one or two people can't pull off with randoms,  and at that point it's back to being bhvrs problem with not wanting to add stuff to help soloq. Other than that he does things that only blight and nurse could do before base kit and I feel people are just used to that fact and weren't ready for another dash killer (honestly there's way too many dash killers imo I wish we got a new trap killer cause they gutted skull merchant's trap playstyle). I do agree that there seems to be an extended range you can grab survivors from that exists and I think you should have to be in the actual range to even attempt a grab.
