Don’t nerf Spirit!

Don’t nerf spirit. Instead make other killers viable. This will keep different killers at play at all times and prevent the overuse of others.

The problem should never be that a killer is good at killing survivors in game called “DEAD” by Daylight.

Everyone is always complaining on how Nurse is the only killer viable at high ranks and that they want to face different killers. Than maybe we should not nerf killers, but let more killers shine for diversity sakes.

  • I don't believe that's their intention at the moment anyways. So you're good in that regard, as for helping improve Killers that're considered "lesser" in the tier list, that would improve the overall variety to the game-play indeed!

  • Yeah I sincerely think they need to be more focused on bringing a lot of the other killers up to par rather than worrying about any nerfs at the moment. The game would be a lot more enjoyable for both sides to see more variety of killers being played.

  • Given their track record they are going to nerf her into the ground to make her non-viable at high ranks, you know, like the overwhelming majority of killers.

  • Honestly, I agree that her add on Prayer Beads is bullshit and need some changes. But the killer Spirit is fine

    Track record? What killer have they nerfed to the ground besides Legion? They JUST buffed Freddy. Buffed Ghostface upon release and just made a solid killer (Demogorgon). BHVR hasn’t even mentioned touching Spirit.

  • Nurse being the only viable at red ranks is the biggest joke ever. Nurse, spirit, billy, hag, huntress, freddy are perfectly viable.

    Not nerfing a broken killer because they are tHe OnLy ViAbLe KiLlEr is stupid. Nurse and Spirit need nerfs, most other killers need buffs. Their only solution for weak killers is to constantly nerf survivors which did mostly nothing except make the strong killers even stronger.

  • I wouldn't mind a small nerf to her sooner or later. Her counterplay right feels almost like it's 100% luck based, which isn't fun. Killers will all receive general buffs if map reworks end up being good, so that's another reason she might need a nerf soon. Just like Nurse and Hillbilly maybe. Especially if maps become smaller. Buffing the weaker killers by buffing all killers means they will need to nerf the top tier killers. Obviously they will profit from the map reworks much less than low tier killers, but still.

    That's why I hope they buff survivors stealth and juking potential a bit when reworking maps as well.

    Only took them two years to buff Freddy. Seriously should have put 5 people in a room over a few days to hash out how he could be viable. Nope, two years.

    Legion is now worthless.

    Is there any killer went from garbage to good at high ranks? Other then Freddy, the answer is no.

    Nah nerf that stinky ghost

  • First buff solo survivor and then bring the other lower tier to the level of spirit and Billy... the game should bloom into something even more beautiful then it already is.

    It was actually confirmed (now this was awhile ago, like months ago) by a community manager that chagnges to spirit are not planned for now.

    So I am agreeing with you that the devs have been good with spirit...

  • Nerfing spirit would not go down well at all, considering they’re already gonna nerf nurse.


    On the topic of buffing the ‘non viable’ killers I agree, all killers should have the ability to compete in red ranks.

    Legion was never a good Killer. He was good at getting one person down, while taking ages for that and losing the game because of no Map Pressure.

    And more Killer are playable at Red Ranks than Nurse and Spirit.

    Maybe 6 of them. Nurse, Spirit, Billy, Freddy, Huntress, Hag. That leaves 11 Killers who are not viable. That is downright poor game design.

  • Ehm. No. How about balancing All killers, which means nerfing those who are unfun/unfair to play against and to buff those who are not good to play? But i think thats too much asked for from you to understand.

  • Nerf? Unlikely.


    Touched after Nurse? Possibly.


    (Spirit had 13 Votes to get nerfed on my C.R.F. While Nurse and her addons had 26...)

    Sounds like the closed minded person is you. No real feedback, but I guess that’s too much to ask from you to understand. :)

  • Spirit is fine. They need to git gud

  • I don't think people are complaining about spirit being to strong. I think most complain about her design, the way how her m2 works and how it becomes a guessing game.

    Same with old Legion. He wasn't strong, nowhere near top tier. But people hated his m2. They wanted a CHANGE or REWORK and NOT a nerf. And I think same applies to spirit. At least that's what I want: a change to her power. Not a nerf, she can stay 2nd best killer in the game I don't mind.

    I don't even mind versing Nurse, and she is the strongest.

  • Thank you! It's my evil aura that's consuming me every single day now!

    No be seriously, I like the red background with Myers also.

    How do you get it, is there a requirement or do you have to be good cause I always loved the red icon

    It's just a reward that symbolizes that I am apart of the trusted members, a group of specific members that have been hand picked (Or suggested by other members) that are given the privilege to join in the PILOT of the trusted members initiative... Thingy... thing.

    Here's more info on it!

    Hey forum members!

    Most of you have seen the new Trusted tags. We introduced them last week and we seen a lot of questions like, why them and not me? Why do this? Why is their tag everywhere?

    So here goes...

    What is A TRUSTED MEMBER?

    Large numbers of members are joining our Community and we can say without a doubt, our Community is successful. Well, now is the time to shine a light on our key members, members that have shown us that they could contribute regularly to the community in a positive manner.

    These are our objectives for the PILOT:

    • Provide a sense of accomplishment for key members of our community
    • Create a place where constructive discussion is promoted and encouraged
    • Help our new members to find a home in this community

    HOW DID WE SELECT OUR PILOT MEMBERS?

    Our pilot members were selected directly from our Forum member of the month initiative. They, themselves, suggested a few more members to join the PILOT. After screening, we will be adding a few more members to the pilot, maybe you are next?

    What are the expectations from the Trusted members?

    For the PILOT, our expectations are simple, our members need to keep doing what they do best!

    • Create discussions and / or participate on a regular basis
    • Provide feedback in a constructive way
    • Provide reliable information to other members
    • Make the forums a welcoming place for all members

    Wait, but I thought they were BHVR representative?

    They are Community representative, they aren't associated with BHVR, they are not moderators. The only deal they have with us is to follow the expectations previously listed. They have shown a particularly high level of involvement over a long period and already are a positive force in the Community. They are encouraged to disagree with BHVR or any member, as long as it's done in a constructive manner.

    What will happen with this program?

    The PILOT is planned to run for 2 months. If we see that it yields positive outcome, we will launch the full program. The full program will include guidelines, rewards and will be opened to a larger group of Trusted members. This is our long time goal.

    Can I be part of this program?

    We are creating this program with the goal of having a large but limited number of participants. Our guidelines will be published when we are done with the PILOT. You might be one of our future Trusted members and you don't know yet!

    This will tell you how you can be chosen to join, but the gist of it is to be a respectful, active, informative, and kind member of the DBD forums! You too could be chosen for this position, in due time of course!

  • This game is killer sided asf and dudes complaining about the majority killers are ''weak''


    lmao???

    U kidding me

    Spirit got buffed out of her ptb

  • As a red rank survivor, I would much rather face a Nurse than a Spirit.

    At least with Nurse, you can break line of sight and mind game her. You'll eventually get hit if the Nurse is good, but I can counter her to an extent.

    Spirit is just Zzzzzzzzzzzz.... snoresville.... wake me up when the match is over boring.

    I'm serious about Spirit.

  • Do It Devs, she is way too strong for the low skill ceiling she needs to be that effective.

    Simply dumb.

  • The only thing that is an issue with spirit is prayer beads, that is a VR add-on that literally removes the one counter that is important with phasing, the vacuum.


    I don't wanna use spine chill when I have a chance of facing spirit

    At least 11 out of the 17 are playable at red rank if you aren’t #########. I mean somehow everyone is forgetting that the plague exists and that’s she’s pretty broken, i’ve been playing both killer and survivor since release so please say something stupid like, “you’re just one of those salty survivors” because the only way i get annoyed playing survivor is bs hits, for example i’ve been hit from the shack window whilst on a gen against ghost face and the broken huntress hitboxes that every notices. When ever i’m playing killer and ######### like this happens i always give a round 2 or leave them on the floor as it’s just not fair. With the spirit discussion she’s unfair because as soon as she hits you she can faze and using her stupidly insane speed can catch up to you almost instantaneously, on top of that the only known counter to he takes up a perk slot which can change how you play drastically. If you’ve played against even a semi-decent spirit with stbfl fully stacked up you’d know why she’s unfair. I get it each side is supposed to have advantages but with something like this the only advantage survivors seem to have is flashlights which no one really uses anymore. at the start of this game survivors were broken but now everyone’s using that as an excuse to make killers broken it’s just hypocrites moaning to try and get their way.

    Spirit is fundamentally flawed tho, i love playing as her because its so easy to get 4k, but i hate playing against her for the same reason. She doesnt need to be nerfed per say, but prayer beads need to be removed
