No, Cenobite was NOT overperforming
Please for the love of god get "muh statistics" out of your head.
"The escape rate wasn't very high with Object of obsession equipped"
"Cenobite was overperforming"
"Wraith was a wee bit OP" *nerfs the fun part about him
Meanwhile Boon: circle of healing still exists and Blight + Ruin, Tinkerer + Alc ring.
Genuinely how does Alc ring, Comp 33, iri tag, Comboed speed blight get the A-OK in terms of an add on pass but cenobites "oh no you have to spend 12 seconds instead of 6 to solve the box" for 2 add on slots get nerfed into oblivion?
Also sorry for being a downer on patch day but like I really fancied flaming whoever was behind this change cos cenobite has so much potential but they just refuse to give it to him.

Pinhead got the Deathslinger treatment.
Nerfed the good part without buffing the bad part.
Nah in order to get deathslinger treatment you need to nerf him to just about bottom 5 (which pinhead is at anyway) and then make him incredibly unfun to play. Plus add a 1 second delay to everything he does. Plus reduce the cooldown of possesed chains by 0.1s and then call it a buff.
Thankfully my DHope undying build will still work, so I can still send people to brazil no problem.

Were at the point where everyone pretty much knows what that is :p

Never forget.
BHVR seems to have certain goals for each Killer. They almost exclusively ignore how "strong" they are compared to other Killers. Pinhead was "overperforming" compared to where they believe he should be, he may be performing worse than other Killers but he's out performing their nebulous idea of how Pinhead, themselves, should be performing. Also if they aren't fun for Survivors, that's the other metric they use.
🤷♀️
You...just basically described Cenobite perfectly XD.
He's incredible at rolling over newbies, but wow does he struggle the second anyone knows what to do.
You mean an extra 1s delay on everything? We've already got that. :P
It will never happen but i would love to see bhvr say
"Swf is over performing"
Devs were just as disgusted about the nft scandal they decide to butcher him out of protest
I was destroying with those addons though. I’m not saying he was my favorite killer, but he did feel strong with those specific addons. Plus getting chained while solving felt terrible.
And removing the chain interruptions and nerfing all the useful addons and doing nothing to improve the rest of his play experience wasn't an excessive response?
They want 50% kill rates on every killer nvm the fact that survivors throw or barely even try in most cases. Except for higher mmr.
I can't believe they actually use kill rates as a way to "balance" the video game, when they vary so wildly just based on the map alone. When I get balanced maps like Rancid Abattoir (one of like four balanced maps in the game), I do pretty dang well as Killer but against good Survivors it's a very close game, with it varying between a 1k and 4k but with plenty of hooks and hits in between (massive points). Meanwhile, on Disturbed Ward, Mother's Dwelling and Haddonfield...
