I don't like playing against the Xenomorph

GaunterODimmDBD

So unfun to play against and there's barely any counterplay. I'd rather face 10 blights than one Alien. At least I felt like I could have played better than this cheese ball killer.

Well, the cooldown is not the only problem with him. The fact that he does not have a literal cue when he will attack (your reaction has to be literally negatively timed) is also broken:

now, imagine this killer, with the huge slow down that it has, using this mechanic to tunnel down or camp a survivor at 5 gens. This killer has a way oppressive power to rule the game in the few minutes of the match.

With our anti tunneling perks being nerfed to the ground, and endurance not stacking, it is not possible to force the killer not to tunnel someone before the first gen is done. Out of the record is countered by just a slap after unhook, Decisive Strike is useless bc you don’t get enough distance to reach a safe zone, guardian is a joke of a perk, borrowed time don’t stack with out of the record and it is countered by a simple slap after unhook.

This killer can just camp (or proxy camp) the area, hit the unhooker, then down the unhooker, and then tunnel the unhooked having all the time of the world to down him/her/them. The justification for that is on the fact that one survivor will be down, another at risk of being deleted from the game in 5 seconds, another technically setting torrents, and one doing gens. (This is in the most optimistic scenario, but it is very chaotic seeing it in practice).

This killer is overpowered and way too much oppressive to be in this current state. The devs must address this issue with the proper response that it deserves.

There's a video with Supaalf vs a Pro player team. The chases as usual so skewered into the Alien's favor with most Survivor aren't even capable of dropping the pallet. You only have a good chase if you're blessed with a really good set up. Now if these Professional players are actually dropping like flies in chase again Alien with little to no mind game except the threat of it's tail. Never mind what happens in actual matches that's not a Pro team or in a 4 man coms.

For the first week I would have agreed and he has an awful glitch where he doesn't slow down after mssing a tail attack. They also chose the worst time to nerf vault speeds given the fact this is one of the counters but this is just an inconvnience. Just crouch behind pallets and vaults if a turret starts beeping then leave the gen or if you are healing a survivor move.

Those professional players that is competing at a highest level should have just crouch behind pallets giga brain.

Huntress works the same way as xeno's tail. Ever dodge a hatchet? I've dodged his tail half a dozen times in a row and I am terribad crapola.

Xenomorph can hit you over pallets…

IMO, the tail attack is too strong right now, but I actually enjoy setting up the turrets. If you do it a lot, you start to get a sense of where it's a good place to hide them and it's very satisfying when the killer gets burned.

Also, if you have Oblivious for some reason, or the Xeno has Undetectable, the turrets basically cancel it out.

The worst games I've had against Xeno were ones where the other survivors weren't doing turrets. Like, yes it's annoying to constantly have to stop what you're doing and set them up again, but that's how the cycle works against this killer. It's like taking off your Pig trap. It's a time-suck, but you have to.

I won’t buy this chapter until they fix this overpowered killer.

It is funny that they nerfed circle of healing (so not heals), they nerfed prove thyself (so no gen pressure), they nerfed decisive strike (so tunneling down is less punishing), they nerfed Med kits (so no self heal if your teammates are busy or dying), but they allow this killer to have so much power that even the treat of using his power is enough to make survivors stuck in a loop waiting for their imminent death.

great job devs! Keep going with this terrible work!

Love how you guys always come up with tons of nerfs for one side but never mention the significant nerfs for the other side like ruin etc.

Do you think that we were born yesterday?

this killer can destroy any torrent with his tail attack, and he has addons to reduce the torrents effectiveness. Not only mention that you can’t place torrents mid chase, so if you are pushed to an area away from torrents, you are basically dead. Also, there is a limit of placement for those torrents, if there is one across the map, you will have to carry this until another area of interest (you lose a lot of time due to the negative status gained). Also, if you get hit while carrying the torrent, it explodes. Also, many players have been exploiting the oppressive power of alien to tunnel down and camp at 5-4 gens. Because it is easy to to that, they eliminate a player from the game and guarantee a win because, guess what, the slowdown of this killer requires a heavy and coordinated team work to have a small chance to survive.

stop trying to hide the problem by gaslighting other people’s experiences in the game.

We cant gaslight other peoples experience if they have none.

Brother in christ, you can literally deny his power and force him to turn into an m1 killer!

You just gotta place a turret near a loop near your gen and drag him there. How hard is that?

And that's fine.. base kit.

The base kit xenomprh is quite manageable. Its just the add-ons.

There is no need for any of its addons. But if the addons are going to exist, they need to adjust the killer to reflect this.

Don't worry OP, you won't see him as much as before. Weskers, Nurses, Blights, on the other hand tho...
