Why are Nurse and Blight so common yet Spirit isn’t?
At least in my experience. Nurse and Blight are way too common in my games but I have seen only 13 Spirits since her nerf 6 months ago (yes I have counted). I don’t get it when Spirit is arguably in the same tier as they are. Also Spirit feels very fun and rewarding to play (I am not trying to say that Nurse and Blight aren’t to others, I’m just talking about Spirit).
Does anyone else feel the same way?

Don't know, but I do know that an M1 Killer with a faster chase than Spirit doesn't exist
Two add-ons to counter pallet camping? Are you referring to her Iri and green that recharges her power after breaking/ getting stunned by a pallet?
You cannot compare Legion to a stealth killer. Legion doesnt require stealth they require grouped up survivors and pressure. Spirit requires stealthy pick offs on survivors.
While a lot of people put Nurse spirit, Blight in the same Tier, I would say post spirit rework, its more Nurse, Spirit, and then Blight in a seprate category. Before the Spirit change, she was similar to Nurse where she was simply OP. Where in theory Spirit and Nurse should win 99% of matches. The issue was due to her being far easier to play then Nurse, she was played more often. However ever since they gave survivors the ability to counter her, she was moved to the same tier level as Blight. With only Nurse being in the (OP) category. So Spirit and Blight are both very strong, but they both still have some counterplay. However due to the fact that she is far harder to play now, and she is 110 speed killer, which means she has to use her power to get downs, (unlike Blight) most of the spirit players moved to Blight.
actually for me she's unplayable aganist people who are somewhat decent (little premise: i play without headphones, but you shouldn't force people to use headphones for playing efficiently the game imo). people know always where i'm phasing but i don't know where they are... it's frustrating to say the least (also she should be buffed, giving her a 4.6 ms)
And whats the problem with stacking 4x slowdowns when survivor are all running the same meta ?
Literally 6 comments later I am begging you to use your eyes and READ
I'm sorry :/
They're common? I haven't seen a legion in forever.
She isn't bad but she isn't easy. Why put time and effort into a killer that takes more skill yet gets worse results then a killer that gets better results but takes less skill? Also I feel like the spirit is less interactive than blight or nurse.
I main her and frankly she's not invisible if you got headphones, ifk If me and my friends have supersonic hearing but its easy af to pinpoint where she is exactly with headphones.
The nerf showed how many people didn't actually enjoy her and just played her to sweat, I think.
Is it faster when you shred going up the stairs?
Ah yes, I'm kind of a bat too, and see stuff using the headphones
Shred always has the same speed, unless you use it from an elevated position without stairs pointing downwards, like a Hill. If you shred from a Hill, you'll fly
That would be stupid to nerf his base power, also ye blight can be annoying on some maps against dead hard.
Well, pallet camping works against literally every M1 killer. Hell the fact that you would need to pallet camp instead of being able to loop is already a good thing. Unless your playing on the game, ppl would drop quick.
Teacup punishes that even further. It seems that you can’t play a killer unless counterplay for said killer doesn’t exist, oddly enough. But she’s still damned good.
Provided you learn to actually play instead of stand still doing nothing, I mean.
Stridor nerf reverted. The imbalance is now on the killer's side when someone has iron will; survivors can hear her but she can't hear them.
Eh, she is still faster than other "invisible" killers when actually using her power. Though it makes me wonder why she is still 110% when killers like Blight exist? Must be because of her invisibility.
In a loop it’s quite a lot. Also, spirit goes really fast, provided you can actually play her that won’t be a problem.
Waiting for the day you provide an actual argument instead of just insulting me lol
They might have nerfed her but you can still use whatever brain cells survs use as an excuse to do just fine. Survs cried because they couldn't deal and ran to the devs.
I didn’t know you had a twitch! I will def check out as there’s hardly any spirit players to watch!
I find it impossible to track via sound in this game, and that's sort of required for playing Spirit. I haven't played her since they removed her collision during phasing.
spirit got nerfed to be more fair. She was used (and abused) so often because her power took the "reaction and strategy" element away from survivors. Now with her changes she actually needs to do something to earn hits. I still think she's strong but her hay day has certainly passed.
What effort is there to put into her when she was nerfed like every other killer, to give survivors more than enough reaction time to counter?
They use to say "All you need is a good headset to play Spirit" now the script has been flipped "All you need is a good headset to counter Spirit".
People don't play Spirit because
1. Sounds: Chase music drowns out all sounds, and on top of that IW trumping Strider
2. She has too much counterplay. It's not even fun playing against her because of how easy she is to deal with.
I don't mean to us vs them, but when survivors claim a killer has no counterplay or lacks consistent counter play that's a problem, but when said killer gets gutted like a catfish than the community wonders why no one plays that killer anymore and why there's no variety in killers.
Yeah, but with this community it is perfectly reasonable for the guess work and 50/50's to be on the killer. Survivors must have pin point information and slow movements or wind ups to always have a chance to avoid being hit regardless of the killers skill.
Not against the spirit nerf, but they kind of overdid it as usual plus the iron will buff essentially deleting stridor from the game.
i did.
not shocked that you only payed attention to the part talking about yourself though.
I am sorry but Spirit is WAYYYYYYYYYYY more boring to play than those 2.
You forgot to put the words "in", "my", and "opinion".
But are they wrong?
Iron will
Hate that perk so much.
I can’t believe I ever thought it wasn’t an issue. 😬
Same. Why can’t more people express their passion for their favorite character like I do instead?
change iron will and i'll play spirit 5x more often
I also hope it gets changed.
Because shes overrated in tier lists, usually tier lists are good killers ranking them against casuals...
I feel the fact she had directional audio (removes alot of mindgames at pallets, windows etc.) Hurt her too much.
I personally never thought she was all that strong, if anything shes just annoying now as I only see blossom spirits... I get she needed a few changes especially to stop the standing still mindgame but not directional...
Shes also 110%, requires full ability bar to use it, and while she has some good addons you can still verse people who just sit at pallets etc. I never liked playing her in the first place, even less now she has directional... especially at high mmr and IW seems to always be used when I play her lol
