The Problem with Spirit
She is half as easy as nurse and achieves the same map pressure, and gets rewarded highly as would a good nurse.

Nurse is still rewarded more but yeah spirit is way too easy for how effective she is
Spirit has counterplay.
Shes not half as easy as Nurse, in fact I find Nurse to be the easiest killer in the game to play when youve properly learned her
But thats the thing, learning how to play is completely different than just playing them, and Spirit doesnt take nearly as much time to master as Nurse does.
Pair that with little to no counterplay to her ability as it gives no feedback to survivors make it very frustrating to play against her, its why people dont complain about Nurse that much as she at least gives an indication that shes using her power which makes survivors think they can attempt to juke her, but against a good Nurse theres no such thing
Spirit is that killer that you pick when you want to destroy survivors without having to concentrate on her mechanics (like nurse or blight) because you literally just need headphones and general experience with killer. She can be countered tho, i don't really buy that argument. If Spirit needs a nerf on somehting it's not the hability to hear it's the stupid thing that you can stand still and survivors don't know wether you are phasing or doing a "mindgame", she should make phasing sound when near aswell.
flipping a coin, running iron will and praying the current bug that makes her completely deaf to footsteps never gets patched isn't anywhere close to enough counterplay
Wait you mean that in your game of PVP you don't like random guessing?
What kind of monster are you, to not think that guessing randomly is fun?!
You can counter her without running iron will. Do people forget her loud ass chase music that deafens out noise?
i know, not wanting a guess based power in a (semi) skill based game is truly blasphemy of the highest order, i shall atone by flipping 50 coins and hoping i guess all of them correctly
Spirit is fine, she just forces you to play differently which is totally fine.
She certainly isn’t easy right now. Iron Will users really shouldn’t go down against her that easily anymore.
the chase music doesn't drown out injured noises, even without Stridor
Of course not why would it? Unless you're running in the middle of a deadzone there's still plenty of obstacles you can use to trick & confuse her while she's in phase.
that doesn't work if the spirt has decent headphones and gamesense
Chase music is in the killer’s control so I don’t understand how that has anything to do with countering her. When I play Spirit I just turn away from the survivor I’m chasing before I start to phase and the game thinks I dropped chase and ends the music, allowing me to track them easily.
