Is It a good time to come back?

So I saw the new killer and said to myself "hey, he looks interesting" and I thought I'd come back to the game but... I heard Nurse was nerfed, Spirit is gonna get the same treatment, if I understand the new "Nemesis" perk correctly, that means Legion is gonna be broken as hell again and Im not really sure if I want to deal with all the other problems the game had when I left (around 5-6 months ago maybe?)... Im just gonna ask you guys some questions, you'd really help me if you could answer them:


1. Have totem spots been improved?

2. Any nerfs to Billy?

3. Do The Pigs Reversed Bear Traps activate in endgame?

3. Any nerfs to infinites and insta heals?

4. Is Freddy playable at red ranks after his rework?

    Totems are about the same. The Hawkins map has some really good spots though.

    Billy is the same.

    No.

    Insta heals were nerfed last patch. The bottle is arguably stronger though.

    Freddy does pretty well over all. He's top 5 to most people.

    1 - yes and no. A few new spots where they are a lot more hidden but can a to spawn in the open or next to a gen.

    2 - no

    3 - no

    4 - yes and no. Still same windows but Insta heals are changed. Styptic gives a borrowed time effect when used and syringe takes 8 seconds to heal to full.

    5 - Yes Freddy is really good. His snares are better than the dream pallets as you can spam them while chasing around a loop.

    Nurse is just a little but weaker but the general consensus is she isn't as fun to play and feels clunky.

    Spirit isn't being changed a lot copared to nurse. No collision anymore and some add-on changes. Prayer beads now has a sound all over the map instead of no sound at all.

    The potential for legion is there but you will need bl1 or to be stunned first to make it happen.

    The oni looks fun but I can see some changes happening. His power isn't as useful after a hit as its wastes his map pressure potential and you lose it if you pick up the survivor which means slugging to get the use from it. Kinda a damned if you do damned if you don't scenario.

    I’m new so I can’t answer all of your questions. What I can say is that people crying about the Spirit nerds are over exaggerating it. She’s still powerful, she just needed some minor adjustments to make playing against her a little less jarring.

    I think the general consensus on Freddy is that he’s better now, and much more viable than before. I don’t know from first hand experience, but as a survivor, he usually destroys the groups I’ve faced him with. I don’t do swfs except for sometimes with 1 friend.

    Billy is still strong.

    I am not sure about the totem spots in general, but it seems like it’s gotten harder to find ruin more and more over the last week. Then again, I’m a potato and usually grouped up with other potatoes.

    I hear Nurse is still strong, it’s just her skill cap is higher now than what it was before.

    Just jump back in for the next month and see how you like it. Also, dip your toes in a few different killers or survivors, you may like them better than what you used to play with.

    @twistedmonkey Glad to see some familiar names around here :)



    Thank you guys for answering the questions. I'll give the game a chance again, might even stay around the forums as well as I used to.

    why nerf billy? he can still be looped and its possible to juke the chainsaw, literally just dont be out in the open in his TR and most of the time you can have a proper chase.
