Do you think pyramid head needs a serious nerf?
He has a huge reach, can essentially hook you wherever stopping perks like DS- which then leads him to other survivors, doesn’t get slowed down when creating his floor trap, and can hit from range just to name a few all while seeming super fast.

Nah
His Punishment of the Damned is well telegraphed as to where it is going to land, and if you are paying attention (which you should do upon seeing or hearing his blade piercing the ground) you should be able to avoid it.
Additionally, his cages come with a downside. They are extremely far away from him, and despite perks like DS and BT not working for survivors, perks for killers such as PGTW, BBQ and Chill and Devour Hope don't work.
I believe he does get slightly slowed when using rites of judgement. Regardless if he does or not, a killer shouldn't be punished for using their power which leads onto the other two parts of their power.
Finally, regardless if he hits an attack with Punishment of the Damned, he has (from what I have heard) a 3.25 second Cooldown before he can even move again.
Taking all of these into account, including the many games I've played as him and the few games Ive played against him, I personally don't believe he needs a nerf.

He's slowed to 110% while leaving the trails.

Nah
If anything his controls need to be improved since they narrowed punishment
2 -
Nah
he is out for not even 24 hours now
can we please give it some time before jumping to conclusions such as "pyramidhead op"?

Nah
The only change should be to give survivors their exhaustion back after being rescued from a cage.

Nah
Lol, looks like you're alone & on your own on this one OP.
Currently 11 - 1 in favor of no nerf

Yes!
Why even asking about a killer in a killer biased forum?

Doesn't need a nerd because you have to know how to use him to be successful, that is what every killer should be

Nah
I don't think he needs a nerf at all. However, judging a killer on their very first day of release feels a bit awkward to say the least. Killer players need some time to master him first, and survivor players also need some time to adjust to his game style so we can properly judge how powerful he truly is.
For me it's still a nope, though.

He is like a doctor if the shocks would injure you! (Imaging a huntress throwing the entire locker through the wall).
P.S. Killer Main.

Nah, the doctor's shock is ranged. Besides, before Pyramid Head leaves the trails at 110%, he moves like Nurse for a while and if he fails, he is severaly punished from it.

Seems you're the only one who thinks he need a serious nerf.

He gets slowed drastically while entering the rites mode, and he moves at 110 instead of 115 while making the trails. This just goes to show that you don't understand the killer, and therefor shouldn't make judgement calls based on his balance. Give Pyramid some time now that he's on live before calling for buffs or nerfs.

Nah
if you think he does you are insane, if anything a small buff is what he needs

Nah
Pyramid head is pretty awful, definitely not viable against top tier survivors
0 -
Yes!
He has no counter, if you step on his trails, he is most likely gonna send you straigh to the cage, if he hooks you 2x times, he can literally mori you on the spot, which is ridiculous.
0 -
Yes!
And he is literally a demogordon but better.
0 -
Yes!
Look at all the insta-Pyramidhead mains coming to vote no.
lmao

Nah
No. His trail is easily avoidable, his punishment is very easy to counter, and his perks are a joke. If anything, he needs a small buff, like punishment inflicts torment, and getting rid or survivors seeing the yellow gen when he kicks it...

Nah
If anything, he could use a buff...

Now that people know how to play against him, barely anyone stands in the trails, so that half of his power is rendered pointless.
So he eventually becomes a less stealthy but faster Deathslinger with less range.

Nah
It definitely took me a minute to learn how he works but I can't comprehend nerfing PH and leaving certain other Killers alone. The only time you should be getting Tormented is if you're already injured, in a chase, and about to go down unless you run over his fence. After removing his ability to cage-camp I think he's in the "perfect", middle of the pack area the devs love so much. He's definitely not top tier; he's no Spirit or Billy.

Serious Nerf seems like a bit too much in my opinion. I enjoy playing against it, even though i know i can still improve my games with or vs it. Also it's still decently new, and personally as a Survivor i'm not facing it as much as i would like it to have my counterplays mastered yet.
