Pyramidhead

Can someone tell me why the devs decided that Pyramidhead needs to be a 115 m/s killer and have a ranged ability, which has no penalty when you cancel it. I honestly think that he deserves a nerf. Either they should remove the part where he thrusts his sword into the ground and then pulling it off without a penalty or they should remove his ability to kill people on death hook. Why does every other killer need a mori in order to kill you but Pyramidhead doesn't ? Also it's so unrewarding playing against him, because when you get someone off a cage you get the pure amount of 550 deviousness bloodpoints, instead of the usual 1000 ( + 500 when safely unhooked). This is maybe the best killer so far when it comes to tunneling, ignores meta perks like decisive strike and unbreakable, which is a promotion for all the scummy killers who want to torture survivors without them being able to use their second chance perks. I just don't understand why a killer who can apply ranged pressure needs to have the regular movement speed of 115. If he is gonna have a ranged ability just make him have 110 m/s. If the devs make this change, I think the game would be in a much better and healthier state.

What do you guys think about my suggestions on this topic? Leave a comment down below for me to see what you think.

    Don't worry no one will play him in a few weeks because he's actually weak. Faking the ability to deny vaults is not enough to beat a decent team and other than that his power is useless. I just beat 3 different Pyramid Heads on red ranks. None of them felt like a threat. Last one even rage quit. Solo queue by the way.

    Personally I was planning to replace Bubba with Pyramid Head but after realizing how weak he is against gen aggressive survivors I'll pass.

    So I hope you're looking forward to facing even more snowballing Bubba if you're on my platform.

    Alright! I agree he should be 110 because het is ranged. But the ranged isnt that big actually. So it seems fair to triple the range of the attack so it is actually a threat 😁

    PS: Being sarcastic

    I think he's fine as it is.

    His ranged attack is pretty easy to predict and dodge, he can't rely on it like Huntress do and need some mindgames to make it work properly. Faking the ability is part of the mindgames, that's essential for his power just like for Demogorgon.

    "Why does every other killer need a mori in order to kill you but Pyramidhead doesn't ?"

    Why does every other killer needs to walk around loops but Nurse can blink through them? Why can't Trapper teleport to his traps but Hag can? Why does every other killer have a normal basic attack range and the Shape can get an increased one? Because is part of his power. Every killer needs something unique. Simple as that. Also, he only kills you on death hook and only if you steped on this Rites of Judgement.

    Countering meta perks is completely fair and tunneling is not "scummy", it's a valid strategy. Not to mention he teleports the person away from him to put them on a cage. The survivor can be rescued before he even arrives there.

    Not to mention, second chance perks NEED some counters, specially DS, because you can trump all of his counters just by entering a freaking locker.

    He might actually need a buff. Been playing since release and while im still trying to p3 him he seems pretty fair. Lots of opportunity for outplay on both sides.

    I think the only buff he needs is maybe increase the range of his attack or have it give torment if it lands

    Because that ability slows you down to 92% for 1 second and when you fail it you get stunned for 3 seconds.

    And stop crying about not being able to use DS and BT, please. New strategies for new killers people.
