"5 years of degradation of long-range assassins". Or how best not to.
You know, everyone has their own priorities when choosing an assassin's ability: speed, stealth, strength. But personally, I like... well, or should I say was a big fan of long-range assassins. And this post is more of a cry from the heart. For what was edited here ... this is a very, very ambiguous question.
Huntress
My very first and most favorite killer of 2018-2019. And, probably, it would have been so, if not for one “BUT”. Let the most powerful addon, although rather their combination was weakened by the main problem, or rather the problem of the survivors in this matter is still open - THIS IS HER GIANT HIT-BOXES. And this problem has been "hanging is the air" for 5 years. Incredibly big hits wherever possible. Structures, pallets, windows... A problem that has not been solved in any way for 5 years. And the worse the ping, the more it affects. Even on a ping of 60, this is felt quite clearly.
Hunteress skills have always been rubbish, I won't dwell on that.
Addons for the most part performed well. But there are a couple of "exceptional" blunders here.
Wooden fox.
By whom and for whom was this addon invented? The developers were in such a hurry that they forgot to take into account that the killer has 2 terror radius and in most cases these medium rare addons are rubbish? Why not replace it with something more serious? Effect "Haste" for example?
The rest, let it not suit me very much, but nevertheless, so far tolerable.
The Deathslinger.
Hero of my youth (2020-2022(rip)).
Now, unfortunately, rather "an animator at the celebration of the survivors." They are one of the most wretched, "neutered" reworks, bested only by the Hillbilly Killer rebalance. The developers for 1 day managed to ruin the good and aggravate the bad features of this character. At the same time, giving is disproportionately small compared to what was taken away. Break from the harpoon? It was for beginners only! Addons? More than half of them were garbage, and remained garbage. Yes, there were SEVERAL good edits, but that's where the good ended.
The killer spends a disproportionate amount of effort to realize his power. Slow aiming puts it on a par with the hunteress in terms of implementation complexity, only here there are a couple of BUTs: the hunteress has 5 axes (without addons), the hunteress hit boxes are almost 3 times larger, the hunteress has no restrictions in flight range, and the shooter has only 18 meters of range. Give him at least standard speed! Playing it now is almost masochistic, and the potential in combat is extremely small.
And you know, it was just a "brilliant" idea to give a slow killer with a speed of 4.4 meters per second a terror radius of 32 meters, so that with its range, players could cross the border of Mexico before our Cowboy found them.Why couldn't he be made to "sing" like a huntress, so that the killer would have an advantage (at least some). If you didn't really like the terror radius reduction skill. Even the trickster has his "singing", not to mention the huntress. and leave its terror radius as it is.
The only thing that blows, his skills were pulled up to the proper level.
About addons something good to tell vryat succeed.
Poison Oak Leaves. Who came up with this addon? This is useful provided that you will play from a lot of hits on players. But here's the problem, the rifle takes too long to take root for this addon to pay off. I think it needs to be completely redone.
Barbed Wire. Same.
Marshals Badge&Clear Creek Whiskey. Who are these 2 addons for? What's the point in them? For them to be useful, you need to walk without taking your hands off the sight. Well, or for example during the chase. Who is interested in the terror radius during the chase? -No one! -Everyone is more concerned that you are being chased by a two-meter killer who simply dreams of "introducing you to his hook." Needs to be completely redone.
What am I always talking about bad? Hellshire Iron&Iridescent Coin came out pretty good.
Clown
Probably the most controversial rebalance in this thread.
I started learning Clown in 2020-2021 when I wanted something new. On the one hand, the rebalance solved some of his problems. On the other hand, new problems have been created. Partially solved the problem of recharging bottles. A new mechanic was introduced (although it did not give a special bonus). This period is the time of exacerbation of the biggest and main problem of the Clown. An addon was nerfed that blocked a number of skills that speed up players. The most unpleasant for him and not only for him will always be "Die Hard". That same skill... One of the... Which prevents most of the killers in this game from living.
The only sad thing is that this rebalance did not change anything. Is that now the add-ons have become worse, And this is already far from the most powerful killer in the game.
Most of the skills still have pretty good properties, but in the realities of the game, this is not enough.
VHS Porn. A prime example of an incompetent, useless addon. Only a person who has problems with logic will "peck" at him.
Getting to the bottom of every bad or controversial add-on is an ignoble business. So I stick my 5 cents in. The clown needs something normal. Not enough of those addons that he has. Therefore, "let's go from the contrary." It is necessary to strengthen the "direct hits with a bottle." To motivate their use. I propose to add an addon that gives the effect "Exhausted" with direct hits. There are a couple of addons in mind, from the change of which, the players will not be very upset: Kerosene Can; VHS Porn; Tattoo's Middle Finger.
developers to come and play their game in public matches to better understand what needs to be changed and what should not be touched at all. To create such a mess in the game, you need a lot of experience "I take off my hat."
P.S. I "invite" the developers to come and play their game in public matches to better understand what needs to be changed and what should not be touched at all. To create such a mess in the game, you need a lot of experience "I take off my hat."
