Pyramid Head's ultimate counter ... Stairs.
He really shouldn't get a brain tumor whenever stairs are involved.
What I mean is that neither of his powers work on stairs. His Punishment of The Damned will simply do nothing when used from a top of a staircase (no matter how small, even the 3 steps near the entrance to the Dawg Saloon completely nullifies his power), and when used from the bottom of the staircase it'll go through the stairs (Sometimes. Other times it just does nothing) instead of up them.
Additionally, his Trail of Torment (I know that's a perk, but it describes his power lmao, blame bhvr not me xD) dissapears almost instantly when placed on stairs for no reason.
As far as I know this issue with Punishment extends to any kind of ledge/fall, so playing him on a map like The Game is a nightmare, but let's tackle an issue at a time, and I feel like stairs are a higher priority since one would expect his powers to work on them normally.
Thoughts ?

The power is called Rites of Judgement, in case you were wondering.
This sounds like a technical oversight. I doubt it's intended that his power just stops working when stairs are involved.

I've seen PH trails on stairs, though.

Yes ! Thanks, had I been in-game I would've looked it up.

Then it's inconsistant as hell, personally I always see them dissapear right after placing them on stairs.

Oh his trails are definitely inconsistent. I've been tormented randomly when it looks like nothing is there.

Trails dont work on stairs and in the basement. And yes it is intended.

I know of the rule, but it seems like even when nothing else is around they just dissapear on stairs ... Maybe I am in the wrong though ... The punishment still doesn't work tho :P

Nope, the oldest Torment disappears first.
Funnily enough, I just finished a match and the issue still persists ... Torment on stairs just dissapears in 3 seconds.

For some reason the Devs don't like killer powers working with stairs. I don't know if there's some spaghetti code BS associated with it or what, but doctors shock can't go up stairs either.

They last 3 seconds

I played 3 matches on Sanctrum yesterday and I put the Trails on the Main Buildings stairs and they also stayed there. Don't know about other Maps.

No they were definitely there longer. I had to crouch up the stairs to get through them

It seems really inconsistent. I can't have Trails in the stairs in Dead Dawg Saloon, but I can place them on the stairs on the boat on Pale Rose? I believe there's a tooltip when loading into a match that says Trails don't work on stairs but correct me if I'm wrong. Punishment of the Damned also doesn't work on stairs but yesterday I had it go over and on top one of the cars on Badham that are outside of the school. Both powers seem really inconsistent with how and where they work.

I read this post and just thought of this

Meanwhile when POTD is used near some trucks at loops it literally goes over them instead of through them... which is kinda weird. So it can't go up stairs but it can go over trucks? Lol.
