Where did all the Spirits go?

Guess you assume I’m talking down to people who used the old Saya and Amulet or Prayer Beads and thought they were good at Spirit. Wake up call, it didn’t make anyone good at the killer.
It’s the same people who ran Omega Blink Nurse and Instant Saw Billy every round and thought they were legends with the killer then when they ran brown and yellow add-ons they got stomped.
You can run whatever you want. That’s fine. Just don’t claim you’re good at the killer when running their best add-ons.
By the way...the add-ons were nerfed during the same patch that sound became bugged.
Yeah it’s frustrating to have sounds break. It is stupid how they break every patch. That’s why I have avoided Spirit.

My assumption is that there weren't that many Spirit players to begin with. You just had entitled survivors who didn't like learning how to counter her, and thus flooded the forums with their salt. Now that Spirit had their nerf, they moved on, first to Freddy, and now, apparently, Billy.

Not sure, to be honest. She's far and away the best killer in the game in my opinion. I picked her back up in the last two days after barely playing her for 5 months (previous main). She's still beyond dominant. But I have an extremely good headset that allows me to hear survivors breath uninjured behind a tree. She has very little counterplay if the Spirit player is top tier with top tier headphones. I end chases just as quick against Iron Will as I do without. Maybe people were overly reliant on her collision or add ons. Who knows

It’s something Spirit has that other killers don’t...lack of reliable counterplay. It’s a guessing game. She’s frustrating to go against because you lost a guessing game. Oops, you guessed wrong. Now you’re dead.
I still play her effectively but I avoid her more than I used to because sounds are bugged. I hate not hearing sounds. I also run Stridor so one chase the survivors sounds as they should with Stridor. The next chase they sound slightly quieter as if they have Iron Will 1 or 2. Then the next chase they have zero sounds and no footsteps. The different volumes of sounds messes with my tracking. It’s just not worth the hassle when she could be so much better without the bugs.
She can be beaten still because she either has to use her power for map pressure or chase potential. As long as the the survivors split on generators and stay separated, she can still be beaten. Especially on a huge map.
I still believe Nurse is better though. After her rework I still see streamers like Umbra and Zubat 4K with five gens left and she still ignores all survivor defenses.

and you misunderstood the fact i am saying you are wrong in assuming that there are no spirits because of the nerf to addons, im saying its because of the audio bugs, just like many others are and in your post you had that snide attitude in they way you wrote your post.

Yeah I had a “snide attitude” because you’re able to tell somebody’s attitude through text. Real smart.
I only became snide because you wanted to get wild and call me out. I never stated people didn’t play Spirit solely because of her add-ons nor did I say “People stopped playing Spirit because of her add-on changes”. I said “her add-ons are the least of any good Spirit’s concern.” Because if you’re actually good with the Spirit you don’t need her best add-ons to do well. I don’t see how that is a snide attitude, it’s just a fact. If somebody relied on Saya, Amulet, and Prayer Beads to carry them through the match then they probably weren’t that great with Spirit to begin with.
Other things contribute moreso to why Spirit isn’t played like sound bugs and her (now fixed) non-existent post phase lunge. If players stopped playing Spirit because of her add-on changes then that’s because they relied on broken powerful add-ons. Simple as that. I’m doubtful many players stopped playing her for that reason though.
