Stop the required A button mashing while struggling on the hook
The mechanic of having to mash A to struggle was impactful at first, in that I had to "struggle" to mash the A button to stay alive, but it's thoroughly lost it's novelty within weeks of playing. Now it's an annoyance that's giving me carpel tunnel. Take that mechanic out of the game, maybe leave an option to suicide instead. If any other players disagree with this, you can still get the same effect on your thumb without this mechanic being in the game. Just stick your finger in a blender.

Also, on Xbox this mechanic is problematic. Sometimes you are struggling, and there are mini freezes. During these several second mini freezes, your A presses do not register, so you automatically die once the console begins operating properly again. It's very annoying, and removing the A mashing would fix this. To those who may suggest I play on a high end PC to avoid these mini freezes on xbox, you can also stick your finger in a blender. Thanks.

no need to mash the buttons, all it takes is a slow tapping

You don't even need to mash it, it honestly makes me cringe when I hear streamers or YouTubers with the rapid tapping in the background. I figured this out within my first hour of DBD.

Here this vid is a good exmaple of how fast to tap instead of mash.

I already press the button as slow as I can get away with, but I still hate it. It's not a comfortable or enjoyable action in any way. Saying you can press it slowly is like saying "You don't have to stick your finger in a blender on high speed, you can stick your finger in the blender on low speed!" I'd rather just not stick my finger in a blender in any capacity.
I'm sure a bunch of trolls would say "DURR YOU CANT TAKE THE BUTTON MASHING PAIN GIT GUD SISSY!" But it's a ridiculous concept. There's just no logical reason to have physical pain come from a video game. If you want physical pain, go run a marathon, but video games should be built with fun in mind.
And yeah, they still really need to fix the freeze/struggle death on xbox...

You don't have to struggle if you don't get caught :D

Make the second phase auto struggle with a button to activate suicide. Its a bad control mechanic.
