The Two-Man-Quasimodo

I think it would be insanely cool if Crawlers could latch onto your back if they catch you from behind.
Then have some black strands flashing over your screen that look like he was going for your eyes, blur the screen a bit while he is up there and make him do a bit of damage per second. Not too much though. This whole thing is meant more as annoying freak-out attack than a killing blow. Movement speed should also not be lowered while he is up there. I know that's illogical, but this isn't meant to bind you like a Clot grabbing you. It's meant to freak you out.

Jumping two or three times would throw him off again.

Or a team mate needs to get it off?


(like in l4d getting hunters off...)

I could see this being a potential nightmare in Friendly Fire games.

Besides, Crawlers are annoying enough without being able to literally jump on you and hump you to death...

It'd be an interesting mutator, though!

This would only work if Crawlers weren't already insanely effective killers in Hard and Suicidal.

 

[Electrocuuute]

Maybe if they lowered the damage for Crawlers this would be a fantastic idea.

I still think it is nonetheless, but I'd enjoy the feeling of worry when back pedaling not knowing if a crawler will spawn behind me.

How so? Apart from the distraction of being freaked the hell out a crawler on your back is doing less damage than one continously humping your leg.

that'd be an awesome way to die

lmfao XD. and to the idea of latching onto your back until a teammate saves, what about solo? or if your last 1 alive? youd be screwed lol
