Counselors are playing "lame" because Jason is trapping every cool/fun/important escape objective. You want counselors to stop trying to time him out, let us disarm traps with weapons.

No one goes into a game going "Boy, I sure want to time Jason out in the lamest way possible"

However, good Jason's just trap every important objective, and pocket knives aren't that common. Both cars will usually have two traps, the phone box will have one.. There aren't enough pocket knives to stop it all.

Even "Merry Go Round at the windows late in the game" isn't actually viable if Jason just busts out the windows of the 2-3 buildings you're hovering between, because then you'll take damage climbing in and out of windows.

"Tanking" traps also sucks because you have to waste a perk just to not be limping basically after a trap even if you're at full HP, and Jason just teleports when he sees you try to tank the trap.

Our only reliable option vs good Jason's is to try to time him out.
