It's common knowledge that Slinger is extremely unfun to go against. Most Slinger's run monitor and abuse so even if you're aware of your surroundings, you'll usually get shot before you even know he's there. Pair this with maps in the game such as Midwich and the Saloon and at most loops, he's able to shoot survivors over them and get easy downs multiple times.
Slinger mains will say that he's fair since he has zero map pressure but what they all seem to conveniently disregard is the fact that map pressure can come quick by getting downs.
You down a survivor -> One other survivor needs to get off gens to save -> Two possible survivors are on gens -> You go to a gen and down another one = two are healing, Another is down and the snowball pressure begins.
Slinger is extremely unfun to play against. I've been playing DBD for almost 3 years and never have we had a killer who can zone with their mere presence like Slinger can unless you count Spirit who can do it at pallet loops where the survivor has nowhere to run to.
Now according to Slinger mains, what are his counters?
"Just dodge his shot and make distance, he'll have to reload and then use his slow movement speed to catch up"
No that doesn't work at high levels of play. It only works against bad slingers who blindly shoot from a distance hoping to get a highlight for their Youtube montage.
"Split up and do gens"
What a great idea! Not like it's the counter to every killer in the game and unfortunately in solo que, I can only do so much as one player, relying on my teammates to do gens efficiently is less common than seeing a Detective Tapp in my lobby.
"Throw pallets earlier"
Sure, until he zones me with his presence resulting in a free shot I can't dodge because of his instant ADS and he reels me around the loop to himself.
"You're just mad we have another killer you can't loop for 5 gens"
No. Don't take this out of context. I want a killer that has an equal chance of outplaying me as I do of outplaying him. Not just being able to make me dodge by being there and then getting a hit no matter what I do.
TLDR: Slinger is a very boring and chase oppressive killer and this shines on maps like Midwich, Hawkins and the Saloon. He should be tweaked in a way where he actually earns his downs instead of being able to fake his ability with instant ADS and then get a hit anyways whether he shoots or not. I main Ghostface and have since his release at rank 1 and yes, I have played Slinger at rank 1 and found him very fun to play but just like Hag, I don't feel rewarded when I win with him.
"how can we fix deathslinger?"....... get rid of him X'D

I have similar problem. I am rank 12 killer and am paired with red rank survivors. Whole gameplay looks like bullying and there isn't much I can do about it. There at least should be mechanism that counts amount of games played vs points earned as I feel like I gained this rank from the amount of games played rather than my skills.
I understand that too. It does just feel like bullying. I get it that when I mess up, they're gonna come for me, but when I don't understand how things escalate, because I'm not a brilliant player, then it gets pretty frustrating. I was playing with a SWF and just didn't bother to struggle, because I couldn't be bothered to be chased almost straight off hook again. It really does suck the enjoyment from a game.
