Artist needs a rework.
Currently, she is pretty unfun to play on both sides.
Her birds feel clunky to use, and a lot of the time they don't even work properly.
She is also one of the most unfun killers to play against in my honest opinion. She encourages holding W, which makes her pretty bad to play.
Overall I would just love if she could get a rework.

I like playing her, and everyone w's unless you play a ranged killer or blight.
If her crows feel clunky to use, she needs a qol change, not a rework. For the most part, she's fine as is.
Artist is fine. Her swarm of crows need a change because they aren't that great, but other than that she's fine.
And what is wrong with her swarm of crows
Unlike Trickster who has a lose lose power, Artist actually has a pretty useful power that allows for creative plays that reward you for being smart.
However outside of that everything is boring and boils down to hold w and leaving loops while she walks around like a headless chicken.
Sure you could down multiple survivors in a rare awesome set up that you totally meant to do (you didn't) but that's all she is.
She just needs some tuning, maybe an add-on change or two and quality of life changes that make her crows more smooth
She needs reductions of her cooldown for shooting two or more birds. If a bird is destroyed, she shouldn’t face consequences for it. Shooting “two” birds when one is destroyed is horrible.
No.
She is one of the most balanced killers in the game now. Good base kit, skill celling is there + A tier killer. Decent chance againts good survivors or SWF.
The Artist is fine, imo. I disagree that her crows feel clunky. I actually have blast crow sniping, it just takes some getting used to. Many killers' powers feel awkward for a while, hers isn't that bad imo.
Agreed. She just feels like someone said "What if we made Pyramid Head but without any of the nuance" and someone else was like "So you know what happens in TBOI when you get anti-grav as Azazeal?"
Sure she might be balanced overall but if she's unfun and/or uninspired to play as (which she is 🏃) then barely anyone's gonna play her.
She is fun to play as, and she is not broken.
Yeah why changes that, we have more killers who have ACTUAL problems.
Everyone doesn't play that way. I know I don't (a lot of my teammates don't either) unless we are forced to. It's the most boring way to play imo.
Exactly. Balancing doesn't mean anything if the killer is unfun. Old Freddy was pretty weak, yet nobody really complained about it because he was actually fun.
On the contrary, people did complain about him being weak and was generally labeled as the worst killer in the game by many back then, that's why he ended up getting a rework.
Leave Mommy alone, she's fine
They don't really do anything. You can't use them effectively (unless you fire one crow at a time) because survivors can repel the crows before you can summon another Dire Crow.
Eh she's still pretty unfun
I like her, she might be a "ShiftW or die" Killer but you can use ShiftW against most Killers, plus her audio and visual designs are great and her long distance snipes are unique
She still pretty much forces survivors to hold W, which isn't fun on either side for people like me.
It was like this on PTB and Artist was broken. They can not buff her this mechanic because this lady can hit survivors behind wall and distance is not important.
