Therefore I decided to remove this feature to see how much it has an impact on gameplay.Yesterday I had a match where I was last man standing against Hans. I decided to close a door and weld it to have some time to recover, but all of a sudden Hans opened up the door before I finished switching to welder and killed me.
From what I have read KF2 already gives a speed boost to monsters that are out of sight and has a separate teleport system for monsters that are stuck. So the only reason for another teleport mechanic is to make kiting to make kiting harder, but I think this is the wrong attempt as it leads to illogical situations as you have read above.
Furthermore, it has also an adverse effect on camping gameplay as a room that has been cleared out should stay clean for a ceratin amount of time for potential fallback strategies.
I think a good attempt to make kiting not as easy is to change the monsters' pathfinding so they not always choose the shortest way to the players but rather spread throughout the map, taking different routes. This combined with the speed boost could create some interesting gameplay.
TL;DR:
This mutator removes the teleportation ability from every monster.
