edgarboop is talking about pre-charging EMP. the idea is that when singularity throws bipod, he stands still, so you can charge EMP such that when he fires at you to be infected, you remove immediately. he has internal cooldown for infecting survivors and he stands still at 0% speed so you can just hold-w away from him. this what he means by 10 second cooldown.

Ah that makes more sense, even though you can just reapply Slipstreamed to them in again, 2-3 seconds. So yes they may of wasted 10 seconds of your time, but they will be spending way more than that just getting rid of Slipstreamed. And if they use EMP's that are already printed, thats 2/4 used on just one of them. If youre applying enough pressure and Slipstream Survivors as much as possible, that should be get the snowball rolling

EDIT: Also if you see them running around with an EMP already charged, depending on how close you are you can just hit them since they cant do any actions and theyre slowed by 10%.

They only need to remove Slipstream once for him to be a bad killer, and they have plenty of time to do that with correct distance management on the first Biopod hit. If you go into a Biopod, tag someone, and they EMP, you just went AFK for 10 seconds. A good survivor isn't stopping dead in their tracks when Singularity enters a pod. They're running away.

It should take no more than 2-3 seconds from shooting a pod to slipstreaming some one, not 10

Also if they dont have an EMP on hand theyre probably going to go get one. Sure there might be one thats already printed, but that wont be the case every time. And if you let a Survivor EMP themselves to get rid of Slipstream, the time they waste adds up VERY quickly. Some Survivors may opt to just stay Slipstreamed once they realize that, and now you have one of the best mobility tools in the game.

You don't need to, if this is against the rules reply and I eill deletr the post but there is this dude called cocolatte on youtube and twitch and he is a beast on singularity, he has very enterraining videos but also gives very good tips about how to play singularity, teachrs mindgames, when to tp, how to position biopods etc.
However even as an avid watcher I see he puts a 1000% of his effort for a result that a blight/wesker can get if they just got good muscle memory so I would not recomend practicing singularity yourself, however watch cocolatte, hes really a hidden gem.

First time Ive heard of him and decided to give a couple of his videos a watch, and yeah hes probably one of the better Larrys Ive seen. He def has a much more aggressive playstyle than I do, but I just play a lot more passively in general.

Also as far as Im aware its not against the rules to say some ones name (like a content creator in this instance) as long as its not in bad taste

His challenges are stupid.
The devs really though actually using his power was easier that it is.
You be lucky to use overclock in a match period. You win the lottery if you manage to get a hit in overclock
I don't know how the devs didn't see the strength of EMPs. Like did they test them at all? Or are they really so bad at the game that they just didn't use em well enough?
No matter what the answer is the devs look really bad for releasing singularity and the EMPs.

This explains a lot

in Where is singularity ? Comment by Shroompy August 24, 2023

If you are chasing a Survivor long enough for them to be able to get rid of slipstream multiple times, you are chasing them for WAY too long.

Also having a Survivor use an EMP in the middle of a chase is probably the worst thing they can do, as its super easy to reapply Slipstreamed.

I don't care what BHVR does to try and stop me. I will tunnel until chases are fair.

Chases are fair, its just youre not meant to be able to down some one in 20 seconds. Especially when you are giving that 1 Survivor the greenlight to use all the resources on the map when theyre supposed to be split up across all 4 of them.

Also lets be real, people have said theyd stop tunneling if XYZ was nerfed/removed and thats never stopped them. And your "fair chases" certainly wouldnt stop it either since youd just jump onto the next thing.

You can’t use him as a patrol killer. You have to use his power during a chase to get all the value

This is true to an extent, as you dont want to chase as much as you want to harass similarly to Hag. You want to patrol a specific area, apply slipstreamed at any opportunity, and essentially play hit n run.

Now that being said in the middle of a chase its not a bad idea to quickly switch to a pod surveying a gen or a recently unhooked Survivor to check if you can get a cheeky slipstream. Dont lose much distance doing this, and it could buy you quite a bit of time and maybe even got the snowball rollin

I agree, altho not to that extend, if you will actually practice a killer in dbd do NOT waste your time, practice nurse, blight, spirit, wesker and maybe arstist, else you are pretty much wasting your time. Because for example if you lets say practice pig or trapper, any team that died to you will most likely die to another pig/trapper player with way less practice so essentially your practice meant nothing.however if you practice a killer that does actually reward your skill and has room for your skill to matter your practice would be fruitful.

Thing is as a player you should be able to recognize that. When ever I go against a team as say Dredge, I can tell if I would of won just because they were bad or if it was because of my knowledge as not only Dredge but also my skill as a player. Believe it or not Singularity's skill floor isn't high because of his power, in fact its actually pretty simple when you take a second to think about it. His skill floor is high because you need a good understanding of killer in general. When and how to drop chases, juggling between Survivors, knowing when to slug, tunnel, camp, etc. Singularity excels in being able to play the 1v4 since his kit is basically a jack of all trades. His only real issue are maps, (indoor maps in particular) but thats nothing new. Basically every killer has at least a few maps that they do worst on than others.

I feel like Singularity is in the same boat as Spirit when she first came out. People for quite a while were insisting she was in the Number 3 or the Number 4 spot (Top killers then would of been Nurse, Billy, Huntress) and one of the reasons why was because people thought she was unnecessarily difficult for "how little reward" you got. It was like this for quite a bit, and slowly people started to realize just how strong she was. Now, am I saying Singularity is at that level of viability? No, but he is FAR from the bottom and is definitely further up the tier list.

With that logic you're better off just investing time in only Nurse considering she's the best killer in the game with by far the best reward

INTRODUCTION
Hello friends, this is Shroompy (at least according to my username) and today I'm going to ruin yet another killer perfectly in my own image
Now Hillbilly is a tricky one as he's probably a community favorite in terms of playing as and against. I'm normally pretty nuclear when it comes to making changes (in a good way of course!) but Hillbilly is more going to be a few number changes. Now of course its not in Shroom Boom Boom fashion to touch up a killer without changing at least SOMETHING. So, I'm gonna be looking at all his add ons and giving him an add on pass!
Enough with the chit chat lets get that rework goin'
CHAINSAW CHANGES
Increased Chainsaw sprint speed from 9.2m/s to 10m/s.
Increased Chainsaw charge time from 2.5 seconds to 2.8 seconds.
Decreased Chainsaw successful hit cool-down from 3 seconds to 2.5 seconds.
Decreased Chainsaw missed cool-down from 3 seconds to 2.5 seconds.
When initiating a Chainsaw sprint, for the first .75 seconds you cannot bump into objects.
Changed "roar". Only triggers after getting a Successful Chainsaw Hit.
Overheat Changes
Overheating the Chainsaw no longer disables it.
While Overheated:
Using your Chainsaw will pause heat dissipation.
Successfully hitting Survivors with the Chainsaw will only damage them for 1 Health State.
After finishing a Chainsaw Sprint by any means, you suffer a 3.5 seconds cool-down.
These changes aim to make the Hillbilly feel better to play and make one of the more fun aspects of his kit being curving more accessible
Add-on Pass
The Hillbilly has some pretty lack luster add ons, so lets change that!
Some add ons I think are fine and will remain exactly the same, how ever the majority of them I feel are very situational and even then aren't really helpful.
The new/changed add ons will have an asterisk ( * ), those without an asterisk will be add ons that are exactly the same
Common
* Old Chain Brake (Replaces Steel Toe Boots)
A safety mechanism for the Chainsaw. While its seen better days, its still better than most stock ones.

A specialized chain that reduces the likelihood of kickback.
Reduces Cool-down time after hitting an obstacle during a Chainsaw Sprint by 33%.

The severed hand of Max Thompson Sr, used to endlessly beat and shove Junior around when he wasn't listening . Gives the user a sense of direction.
After getting a Successful Chainsaw Hit, any Survivor within your Terror Radius is revealed by Killer Instinct for 3 seconds.
Does not work if Overheated.
"Come on! Show 'em Boy!" -Max Thompson Sr.
* Pighouse Gloves
Rancid smelling gloves, soiled with unknown substances. Despite everything wrong with them, they do have thick fabric.
Grants the ability to trigger the Dying State on Successful Chainsaw Hits while Overheated.

LoPro Chains
Light chains that decrease the weight of the Chainsaw, allowing for greater maneuverability.
Continue the Chainsaw Sprint after breaking a Pallet or Breakable Wall with the Chainsaw.
Survivors hit with the Chainsaw within 5 seconds of breaking a Pallet or a Breakable Wall are only damaged for 1 Health State.
* Iridescent Brick
Once representative of Max Jr's confinement, this was the first brick to fall when his room's barricade came crashing down.
While recovering from a Successful Chainsaw Hit, press the Active Ability button to immediately start another Chainsaw Sprint.
Survivors hit within 5 seconds of The Hillbilly getting a Successful Chainsaw Hit will only be damaged for 1 Health State.
FINAL NOTES
Well, thats all folks! I really hope you enjoyed reading through this as much I enjoyed writing it! The Hillbilly is a killer that has been wronged in the past and while Overheat is something we wish we could live without, I think its time we embrace it. This was my shot at keeping it while still keeping him enjoyable.
Feedback would be greatly appreciated <3

There are two general things to say in response to this.
The first is that the appeal to authority is a fallacy even when the authority is granted for a reason. I don't care that KnightLight thinks MFT is OP and needs a nerf, but because they're a skilled player, I might care why they think that. That reasoning isn't present here, and since I can't open twitter links right now (thank you, mr musk...) I can't check if it's elsewhere in the thread.
The second follows on from that, which is to say, what nerf do they think it needs? What are they referring to? If they say that the 3% speed boost is disgustingly OP and completely free, I'd disagree with them, because they're wrong. If they say that the Endurance is too much on top of an already strong effect, and that stacking MFT's Haste with other forms of Haste is where it becomes indefensible, that I would agree with.
TL;DR invoking a skilled player's opinions is meaningless unless you give their reasoning.

in Are Chain-Blinds Fair? (IMO, Yes) Comment by Shroompy August 19, 2023

How I play Singularity is similarly to how I play other killers who play hit and run or apply status effects effects (Like Wesker or Nemesis)

Just because hes 115, doesnt mean you need to commit to every chase. (that goes for basically every killer, learn when to drop chase) I like to follow what I like to call the '30 seconds rule'. If I cant get a pallet, strong breakable wall, or a hit within 30 seconds of chasing a Survivor, I dont even bother. Now what youre able to do as Singularity if youre unable to get any of the 3, is to slipstream them to make them chose between getting an EMP, or leave it there and risk getting TP'd on at any point. Doing so will slow the game down and make them use up their resources. This will open up more and more opportunities to snowball as the game progresses. (Another thing is after getting a hit, try to slipstream them if possible but its not necessary to commit to the chase.)

Things to keep in mind is to be aware of your surroundings. While chasing somebody, try looking out for other Survivors or use perks to find out where others could be. You can very easily apply slipstreamed to other Survivors who are busy doing other things and barely lose any distance on the Survivor you are currently chasing.

To get maximum value out of 1 pod and to keep pressure on Survivors, its best to play territorial sort of like Hag or Trapper. Not necessarily a 3 gen, but take like half of the map and don't go outside of it if you can help it (makes keeping track of gens much easier, and if you get in a chase you'll more than likely already have a pod set up which just saves a bit of time)

One thing that makes this particularly difficult are indoor maps. They are notoriously bad for him as the several LoS breakers not only make it difficult to juggle between Survivors but to even slipstream a Survivor youre chasing.

Good perks on Singularity that come to mind:

Save The Best For Last - Makes it much easier and gives a bigger window to apply slipstreamed to a Survivor after a hit. Doubles Up to cut the distance gained after a hit as well

Sloppy Butcher - Hit and Run playstyle and Sloppy go hand in hand, and is particularly strong on Singularity as the extra time to heal leaves a bigger window to apply Slipstreamed to 2 or multiple Survivors.

Discordance: The information provided is much more than youd realize. Going up to a gen where 2 people are can allow you to essentially pressure both of them at once. You can do so by leaving a pod (or multiple) that covers all sides of the gen, and chase one of the Survivors off. While chasing them, go to your pods to apply Slipstreamed. Depending where on the map you are and where the Slipstreamed Survivor is, it might be beneficial to teleport to the Survivor on the gen

No Way Out - Playing for the late game is probably the best way of going about things. Buying yourself a whole minute to set up pods at gates to keep an eye on them, as well as getting rid of EMP's can be the difference between a win or a loss

Surge - Perk is perfect for the territorial playstyle, and you can never go wrong with bluetooth gen regression

BBQ and Chili - Once again, all about gaining information and letting you know where you should be heading next, but also where you could be applying the most pressure with your pods

Coup de Grace - When you teleport to some one and become overclocked, a lot of Survivors will try to squeeze an extra loop to try and prevent getting hit since not only can you not be stunned, but you break the pallet much faster as well. Coup de Grace can punish that greed.

Surveillance - Essentially the same reasoning as Discordance, but gives you a more precise way of knowing when that other Survivor is hoping on the gen

Mindbreaker - Sprint Burst is one of your greatest enemies, preventing them from using it after TPing on them can be the difference between getting a hit or not

Hope this helps at least a little :)

cool, but the post isn't about how singularity is good at stomping bad survivors. it was obvious to anyone. if you're good with this killer and survivors are dumb, ofc you're going to steamroll them, but whenever you come across any decent survivors (they ones that aren't clueless), you're going to have absurdly hard time. even if you don't get sent to a horrible map, because this killer is very dependant on map and map spawns (god forbid you get bad map spawns with many windows or all vital gens are obstructed or printers spawn in inconvenient places) because this killer's efficiency drops exponentially depending on how optimal survivors are with using EMPs and how good map spawns you got.

Having a hard time is something quite literally every killer has to deal with if we're talking about good Survivors, and thats how it should be. No reason why Survivors trying their absolute hardest should be barely making it out against a killer who's messing around, the reverse also applies and that is very much the case the majority of the time.

in People liked End Transmission Chapter... But nobody is playing the Killer? Comment by Shroompy August 17, 2023

Killers had all of these yes, how ever you're completely leaving out all of the strong stuff Survivors had (which was MUCH MUCH MUCH more numerous) than what killers had. Sure they had true face camping back then, mori's after first hook and noed which not only provided a speed boost and insta down, but a decrease in hit recovery as well without even being associated to a totem...

Survivors on the other hand had much faster heal speeds, much safer loops thanks to the presence of TRUE infinites (no entity blocker and no bloodlust meant some loops like Ironworks, Rancid, or Wretched Shop had a single counter, being The Trapper), filler pallets just having being larger, and the presence of double pallets at basically every loop (jungle gyms, fillers, main buildings, etc), pallets vacuums, thicker fog which made it easier to hide, thicker and taller grass which also made it easier to hide, and there is so much more that I can get into because I didn't even mention perks and items. If you want me to give you a little history lesson/reminder, I'll be more than happy to do so.

Killers nowadays have actually a good number of viable perks and perk variety, something that couldn't really be said all the way up until 2019. We're talking perks like Whispers, Brutal, Nurses Calling and MYC all falling out of the meta not because they got nerfed, but because they were power crept out of the meta since those were the strongest perks at their disposal. Nowadays you can see a Doc and not immediately know they're running something along the lines of Ruin, Nurses, Brutal, BBQ.

Killer powers in general have also gotten much better over time, to give you an idea there's a post I made all the way back in 2018 (that post is still up) where I have Myers listed as the 5th best killer in the game, and Clown as number 6. (there were 14 killers at the time, Legion being the most recent) That tierlist actually received good reception despite it being cringy af.

Maps have also drastically improved over time. Not only have they gotten smaller but they've become a lot less safe thanks to the previously mentioned removal of pallet vacuums, double pallets and entity blockers. I'd bet money that I could run any one who actually accepts the challenge to 1v1 on 1.5.0 and down me within 5 minutes without using Nurse and I'm far from my prime Survivor days.

I could go on and on for hours, days even of just how wrong of a statement this is. This is also coming from some one who's started all the way back in May of 2017, with almost 6k hours with the majority of that being on killer while 'maining' weaker killers for the most part. Now, what I think a lot of people misinterpret when they see some one claiming that killer is the easiest its ever been, is they think they're claiming killer is easy. No, its not, but when comparing it to what we had to go through back in the day? Its night and day.

would love to see you call gameplay against some clueless people standing afk under cameras or wasting EMPs as an argument for Singularity being good and chill

Oh Im sure its so much different from your high MMR games. We all know how good matchmaking is
