What you say is true but the nerf is because survivor dont like playing against him.

Never forget that its the survivor who dictate who get buff and nerf and you should be fine for the next killer you buy

It's not just thag match though is it. Killers struggle in most matches against survivors cos they have nothing to help them. Survivors have everything to their advantage and are occasionally unlucky and the killer may get a kill or so. The devs need to see this from the killer point of view.

The game is well balence close to 80% of the player like the balance so its a good thing in their eyes.

Yes but the thing is, the devs havent really said what a "win" or a "loss" is and have further went to hide mmr so we cant see if we actually win or lose and what our mmr does accordingly, also sbmm tracks a match a 4 different 1v1's between killer and survivor based on the same amount of objectives which isnt ideal since your team can do objectives while you chase or do nothing and the game counts it as a win for you vs the killer 1v1

The dev have said what is a win in the last Q&A.

For survivor its escaping if you leave by the hatch its a draw.

For killer its killing the survivor and for killer you can win and lose in the same match.

Doesnt MMR mean that most games should result in a 2k 2esc average?

Yes and no

If you have an average of 2k 2 esc every match with your main killer with the best perk and addon and you need to play hard every match for that mean that the second you dont have those addon or change your perk for something else you are going to get destroy.

Yeah, I don't have that much sympathy there. I do sympathise with something you enjoyed being taken from the game, but I'm sure anyone who used something obnoxious for the other side would find that fun- I imagine old Object of Obsession and Decisive Strike were pretty fun for the survivor side, but they still needed to be changed.
Deathslinger was given buffs to compensate for the annoying thing being taken away, so that's totally fine. Nothing to be mad at here, just momentarily bummed if you enjoyed quickscoping.

For me that change ruin the killer and i regret every BP i invest in him now. That more or less 10 million bp wasted that i could put on another killer or better on the new survivor that coming out

No reason to be mad about those either. The removal of quickscope may be unfortunate for people who enjoyed using it, but it was incredibly unfun and obnoxious to go against, so it only makes sense they'd shift him to require a little more commitment before landing a hit. He got buffs to compensate, so he's going to be just as fine as he was before.
Granted, the TR increase is a little questionable, that might end up hurting him unnecessarily. Wait and see on that one, I suppose- or grind for Monitor and Abuse on him, maybe?

For me quickscoping was the only thing deathslinger had for himself compare to huntress specially because i could use my skill from the shooter game i play in the game but now all of that is worthless.

I know for the player who use deathslinger because he could quickscope they would probably stop playing him because its too slow compare to before.

You talk how unfun quickscoping is for the survivor but that what make deathslinger fun in my opinion.

If they want to remove the unfun thing they should do something about the hold w meta too but that another conversation and irelevant to the post

First of all, they said they're keeping an eye on her to see if the dust kicking nerf is necessary. Maybe they'll do it, maybe they won't, but right now we'll be talking about Spirit as she was in the PTB, not with hypothetical changes added on top.
Her addons look pretty fine. Slightly gimmicky for some of them, but the better killer instinct one and the instant power recharge ones look very solid, so she's not been screwed on her addons. As for her basekit, she still retains all of her actual strengths and she's still substantially faster than survivors-- literally the only thing that's changed is that you can't stand still to mindgame, and very good survivors might not go down immediately if they make a good move. She's going to be fine, calm down.

I dont really play her because i suck with her so her nerf wont touch me when i play her but i know my game against her will be easier by a lot. And i wont need to do any read against her the game will tell me the direction she phase.

Spirit real power was to make my teamate kill themself or DC lmao.

What im mad about in that patch are the deathslinger nerf the removal of quickscope is dumb and i see no reason not to learn huntress huntress over dearhslinger

"What they did" being... making it so survivors have the tiniest sliver of information and thus the ability to mindgame instead of making a guess based on nothing?
She's going to be fine. More than that, she's still going to be a top tier pick.

Spirit wont be a top tier pick after those nerf. Maybe for the console player with crossplay off shes still going to be top tier but not for pc.

The thing is all are green addon and up are kinda bad now or they are fun addon but fun addon are not strong.

The worst thing is the dev are not finish with the spirit nerf. They did not have the time to add the dust kicking animation so just remember that nerf is coming to her kit soon enough unless the dev change their mind.

That is honestly a wild take. As for the subject of your topic, the developers care about both sides and have shown this time and time again. Keys are getting nerfed indirectly with the hatch not spawning until there's only one survivor left, and now no longer insta-open the hatch.
Boon Perks seem strong but honestly I don't see them shaking up the meta. Spirit and Deathslinger may be getting nerfed, but they're not being gutted. Not to mention other killers are getting add-on passes to make them better.
The changes for Spirit are going to make her a lot more fun to play against, and if you find yourself losing then maybe consider that you might not be as good as you thought you were. It's going to take out the guesswork for survivors, and challenge Spirit players to think outside the box.
The changes for Deathslinger aren't very significant, but ultimately necessary. M&A Deathslinger has a tiny terror radius, and quickscoping created a lose-lose scenario for survivors. When Pyramid Head was creating a lose-lose scenario for survivors, they nerfed him to rectify that problem. This is just them doing the same with Deathslinger.
While it may mean very little, I am a killer main but I also like to play survivor with my friends for fun. I see the upcoming mid-chapter update as nothing but a net positive across the board for both sides.

Spirit nerf right now is fine giving the survivor a cue when she use her power is a good thing. The issue rise late when they implement the dust kicking nerf.

Deathslinger removing the quickscope is the worst thing they could do to him because that the only thing he had over huntress. Now its just better to play huntress you have better addon and a better power.

Boon perk are really scary you can use them an infinite amount of time that can make them op. Ofc if the other survivor never use them you are better off running perk that work only for you.

Killers only use BBQ for blood-points anyway, at least that's what all the Killers say when someone suggests nerfing it.

People do use it for BP help but the aura reading is huge on the perk. If player would not need that much BP we would see thrilling tremors a lot more.

I think it was last year or 2 years ago they decide to change the aura and during that time you could barely see the bbq aura so a lot of killer stop using the perk

I've never understood the idea that it's somehow a flaw with the game or a mark of shame for the devs that it doesn't look top of the range.

Its mostly because the game look like s*** compare to other game specially when you take into account the game dont have much in a match.

The game look like a ps3 game at best and even then some ps3 game look way much better compare to dbd.

So what do you think? Do they need to be nerfed?

I believe healing need to be nerf. It could be with a nerf to medkit or a nerf to a survivor healing someone else but something need to be done because chasing a survivor with a medkit is worthless unless you commit to the chase whatever the consequance.

in Medkit Op Since When? Comment by botrax October 12, 2021

@Exult said:
There's this rising sentiment that somehow medkits are too strong. Since when have they been too strong, and in tandem since when did they need to be nerfed? I don't think they do at all. They can be the strongest item if you feel that way, but that doesn't mean they need to be changed. Healing has been this way for a while and it's never been complained about until now.
Maybe this is just because I've seen Scott and Otz talk about it. Normally I agree with them but this time I'm not so sure. I think they're trying too hard to make a bad argument that medkits are too powerful.

Medkit became the strongest item after key when they change the toolbox.

I'm on Series X. I do have the same FPS and turning isn't an issue unless you purposely play on low sensitivity.

What about real counters? You can not call perks and certain killers counters to an item. How should you play to counter medkits?
Let's say you're wraith or twins and you rely much on splitting the damage and you don't have certain perks against 4man squad with medkits. Your actions?

Pinhead isn't going to get changed regarding Hoarder/Franklin's due to its strength. It's going to get changed (hopefully) because it's the most insanely unfun thing in the game.

Hoarder and franklin are going to get change because survivor will complain about the synergie the perk provide to the killer. They will say the killer should not have acces to chain hunt because of a perk combo or something like that

This is where I disagree. Faking a power is not skillful in the slightest. And that’s what he’s doing all the time.

If he fake, that mean you can take the window and he cant do anything about that ofc you need to look beind you.

I saw in your original post you said you could just run in a straight line and he will catch you in a way you are right but he will never get you with his power because its only 8 meter and it take him 1,5 sec or 2 sec before he can shoot plus the travel time you can dodge this easy.

I really think you struggle against PH because he is not play very much. So you dont have enough practice against him. He is the kind of killer were almost every match the survivor will have because because he is fair and survivor have a lot of counterplay against him.

I dont think the game is dying for the only reason they always release new character and this by itself bring back old player or bring new player in the game.

I believe right now this game is in a dark path. With the recent Q&A i was having hope we could have great update like the incoming one but they said it should not happen again so my hope for good patch are down again.

The recent rumors about the nft and everything look fishy but they did not deny it yet normally a compagnie would deny it if those were rumors specially if its not well receive. I saw other compagnie deny rumors about them that why i say that.

Personnaly im only active on the forum. Right now i played a bit in the ptb during my new world queue time but that all. I feel like the game lost me as a customer for now with the recent descision they took.
