Does Spirit need another nerf? Specifically her movement speed/phasing cooldown
The nerf was fine and she deserved every bit of it, so I would say that she's not as cheap to use as before. However, her addons pretty much negate the nerf anyway. Directional audio doesn't do anything if she can just catch up to you in just a few seconds. An addon combo I commonly encounter from Spirit players are dried cherry blossoms - which gives killer's instinct within 4m of a survivor, and mother daughter ring, with 40% speed increase in phasing. That's nearly as fast as hillbilly/blight.
Another addon combo is the aforementioned ring and purple amulet which makes phasing longer with 15% reduced movement speed - but still extremely fast with the total of 25% speed increase.
The worst part about this addon combo is that in a chase, spirit can just phase for 1 or 2 seconds and they'll be able to get very close to the survivor (4 meters is a pretty big deal) and instantly trigger killer's instinct. It would be stupid for the survivor to walk, crouch, or even retrace their steps to mindgame scratchmarks (scratch marks are not visible with ring but survivors obviously dont know the addons ran) - basically the phasing power will always be ready after you hit the survivor, essentially ending the chase in less than 15 seconds.
What do you think? Here's a video to show you what I mean.

Spirit is not even braindead easy like a lot of survivors think.
the dust kicking would’ve absolutely killed her. Anyone who thinks otherwise just wants easy escapes.
omg no, shes fine. You want her to just stand there next? She's definitely weaker but still a threat.
some of y'all really never play the killers you complain about and it shows
She's not amused
Thats a nice description of Rin Yamaoka since what, her release?
Being a spirit main must have felt like being strapped to a chair while watching a 2 year old playing with a loaded gun.
I've found her normal speed sluggish since the update. anyone else?
Spirit is fine where she stands, Stop askin' for nerfs...
You guys got the counterplay you wanted. what next? you wanna kill her addons that don't work with her Power?
It's insane how people can't be fine with the spirit changes
This does show that people who wanted the spirit nerfed never cared about if she was fair or had counterplay.
They just wanted her gutted so thoroughly they'd never lose to her again.
That's most of the survivors that don't even play killer, even at mid-high mmr to see how badly this game balance is,
At high Mmr. unless you're THOSE 3 S tier killers, (Maybe Hag.. if they don't have a single flashlight) Then you're just having to play it unfairly and unfun like,
Just kinda tired of seeing these survivors doin' this behavior..
Oh, what a shock. I never saw that coming, this is such a surprise to me.
