Bring Wraith, Nurse, and Spirit's Old Lunges Back
I swear their lunges out of using their powers used to be way, way better. Spirit and Nurse are so sluggish feeling without their power, and even the powerhouse Wraith feels the same. With Wraith, you just find a moderately strong window like the killer shack window, and you'll make his power useless. With Nurse and Spirit, it seems like you need just a little more distance and you would have hit that survivor. I can especially tell with Spirit and Wraith that their lunges are slower than they used to be. You might as well not even cloak with Wraith because the speed boost you get from uncloaking doesn't even break even with how much you're slowed down by uncloaking. Nor are you gonna be able to hit the survivor most of the time with your Spirit power because once you're too close, footsteps just stop playing and you also have to guess the direction they're in. And because of Iron Will, you're robbed of your sound unless you use Stridor, and being forced to use Stridor with Spirit makes her a 3-perk killer. Nurse has the same problems as Spirit but worse. She is absolutely unplayable since her nerf. Before, you would be punished for missing with her (which was easy to do because she's all about guesswork), but now you get punished twice because there's also the blink cooldown. You're punished a third time because her lunge is also patheticly short, so even if you guessed everything right (direction, distance, face the right way, etc) you don't get the hit you deserve.
All 3 of these killers used to be top tier, but now they're as mediocre as the rest. They've been nerfed like crazy and need their lunges buffed. I'm not expecting this to be implemented anyway, so lay off the idea-shaming.

I haven’t been playing the PTB, but I don’t believe the killers had adjustments to their lunges. There was a bug that got fixed (January?); the bug undid Spirit and Wraiths’ lunges but, again, it got fixed. Nurse missing on lunges is probably an accuracy/timing issue. Not that her lunge needs to be increased.
There was a bug with the first lunge of a game for killer. Maybe you’re experiencing that?
No, it was a shadow nerf that happened a while back and nobody talked about it. You look at DBD like a year ago, and it's clear as day that Wraith and Spirit's lunges are shorter now.
There was an error rendering this rich post.
It was not a shadow nerf. It was a bug that came from the Spirit adjustments patch. The lunges were fixed in Patch 3.5.0 along with the Doctor rework. Anyone can look at the Patch and search it for the bug fixes notes.
Are you saying the bug is back? Because this issue was resolved three months ago.
