first day there were many spirits, then people realized she is just trash after the changes and there is no reason to test her anymore

Alright I’m getting tired of people calling her gutted. She really isn’t if you’re good with her.

I did not play her, since I don't find her fun to play as. But I played vs. her quite a number of times in the PTB. Overall she was actually fun to face shockingly. But it felt more fair since I could hear when she was when phasing, so I could kind of tell where she was for the most part.

Lucky. The game hates me and won’t give me her.

Yes twice.
You can hear where she's coming from, but she's fast as ######### and still strong.
Especially when you're a streamer with stretched res and brightness filters. (No, I'm not still salty about that. Why would you even suggest that/jk)
Sidenote, but the purple add-on that gives her killer instinct when she's within 4m of a survivor while she's phasing seems ridiculously strong.

Yeah the Dried Cherry Blossom. I don’t think so because the downside of not seeing scratch marks at all is a good enough downside to warrant it. It kind of forces you to play in a way where you don’t phase out of LoS. Also the directional phasing sound makes that scratch mark downside even more of a convenience.

The only add on that really needs a nerf on her is MD Ring. I know it does have the downside of not seeing scratch marks but you go ridiculously fast and it combos too well with other add ons. I’m probably not going to use that add on at all still because it’s still too strong.

I played Spirit on PTB in custom games with friends.
I can say that she is still very strong.
Survivors side she has more counterplay, you can hear where she is but she is still very fast.
She will stay top tier but survivors have more informations now.

Yeah I agree, which I’m grateful for.

I played her for quite a few matches to experiment with the new addons. People are probably playing other killers to test out the new perk changes, I know I played a bunch of matches of Third Seal + Blood Favor Legion.

Oh I didn’t think about the perk changes. Maybe that’s why some people played Trickster because of Blood Favor.

People aren't interested in killer that is about to be gutted, they just want to look at new content.

She’s not gutted. I really don’t understand why people keep saying that. Just practice her and you’ll do fine.

using voice comms is NOT cheating
This is not what the game rules say.
From the rules page:
Using 3rd party software or other tools to gain any kind of unfair advantage that wasn’t intended by the game, except if they have been whitelisted by us. We are not banning for the use of communication apps.
If using voice chat was not cheating then it wouldn't have to be explicitly listed here. The rules don't say "Voice chat is not cheating", they say "We don't ban you if you use it". There is a difference. If you use voice chat then you acknowledge that you are cheating by giving yourself an advantage that is not intended by the game, but, even though this technically falls under the definition of cheating, no bans are issued for it.
This is an important distinction for players who want to play as intended - they don't use voice chat or any other communication outside of the game, because the game rules as written define that as cheating. It's allowed, in a manner similar to house rules that are sometimes used for board games for example. It is allowed to use your own "house rule" by using communication tools without penalties (= bans) but you are still technically breaking the rules and not playing as intended. If you want to play the game as intended you need to follow the rules.
Using a controller while playing on PC for example is not listed in the game as something that bans are issued for because it doesn't have to be, because it's obviously not cheating. Communication tools do fall under the definition of cheating though, so the exception must be listed if there are not supposed to be bans for using them.
If using communication tools outside of the game is not supposed to be considered cheating then the rules page must be rewritten to clarify that. As the rules are written it falls under cheating. An easy fix would would be to change "We are not banning for the use of communication apps." to "The use of communication apps is not considered cheating.".

Saying that using something isn’t bannable is still the same as saying it’s not cheating. Just like how camping, tunneling, and tbagging aren’t cheating either.

in Yes, SWFs exist Comment by GannTM October 1, 2021

I think she’s out if S tier which I am super happy with. A tier is exactly where I want her and that’s where I think she is now. She’s still very strong and is one of the balanced killers in the game now.

The plauge infection rate add-ons seem funk ATM so hopefully some bug fixes or text clarification to make sense of how the add-ons are working
3 blink nurse seems fine until recharge addons are used rip
Spirits new killer instinct addon is straight busted pls nerf make it so survivors that she phase walks near scream instead. Right now this addon kills the counter play her nerfs created just seems dumb. Either leave her as is or commit to the nerfing
Hope deathslinger nerfs are reduced he just feels bad to play ATM

Spirit can’t see scratch marks in phase which is more of a big deal when Spirit’s directional phase sound is in the game.

So you used it and didn't use it. Slinger players have the same choice. If they want a TR change then M&A is there if not then they can just not use it just like you chose to not use Stridor when Stridor was benefitial for Spirit. The point is there's a solution to the TR change should players feel like they need that solution.
To me DS having smaller TR and being a Ranged killer was a bit too much compared to Stealth killers who all have natural higher TR, except Tier 1 and Tier2 Myers but Tier 1 and Tier 2 Myers are drastically inferior to Slinger. So Slinger's TR was 24 meters right? but his max range was 18 meters. That's a 6 meter difference, meaning his TR music at 6 meters is the very begining of the TR music so it was hard for survivors to understand where he'd be coming from.
Do you think it's actually fair that a ranged killer can shoot you from 18 meters and only needs to step in 6 meters into TR? That's better than all stealth killers can do. Stealth killers need to be right there in your ass to hit you while Slinger can stay relatively stealthy and hit you! To me that's bonkers. The TR change isn't that bad in terms of Balancing killers in their own Bubble.
Now with the changes he has 32 meter TR - 18 from max range that's 14 meters, he needs to be 14 meters into TR to be able to get a shot. That's still Advantageous and some survivors will still missjudge this and get caught. It will be hard to do? Absolutly but you can make it easier with M&A if you want to.

I agree the terror radius before was [BAD WORD], but the problem is they gave him a heavy nerf to his gun and now with a 32 meter terror radius, it makes it so easy for survivors to make distance on him.

Well since you have a Spirit pic let me ask you did you run Stridor if you are a Spirit player? Cause most Spirit players did...

I maybe ran Stridor in like 3 of the 100s of Spirit matches I’ve played. Why are you asking this exactly?

He will counter shift W while ADSing and can shoot faster than survivors can react but he is screwed? He is just obeying the same laws as Huntress, now he has delay on using power and canceling power. Insta ADs and Insta cancel was not good for the game. You can debate his TR change but just put M&A and you're back on 24 meters so...

Should a killer be forced to run a specific perk to counter their weaknesses?

Maybe at the start you will be fine but when bhvr add the dust to spirit you are going to get ######### by survivor because they will have more info on you compare to you on them.

Yeah I really hope they don't add that in.
