Pyramid is now just a worse Pig
Pyramid used to have decent counters to the stale DS and BT meta. Now his power is essentially a worse version of Pig because survivors get more information than the killer, and could even have the cage pop up next to them. So my question is, what is the point? You save maybe 5 seconds by not hooking and that's about it. PH now pretty much has nothing except an overly difficult antiloop power.
RIP PH, you were fun while it lasted. I guess I have to go back to Nurse full time lol.

As a killer (pig) main I can fully admit that PH power was abused by people who tunneled. If you find his “nerf” to make him worse than Amanda then you didn’t utilize his kit correctly. He’s still A tier, you don’t get to abuse a busted mechanic now, boo hoo.

You still outdo several survivor perks and any possibilty survivors could have to prevent hooking. Thats more than enough as a trade off.

What's the point?
-No DS
-No Kindred giving away your position
-No Borrowed Time
-No worry about sabotaged hooks
-You can instantly go for another survivor instead of going to hook the on you've just downed or worry about unbreakable or another survivor picking them back up. Making Infectious fright super useful.

The possibility of preventing bull**** ds plays and dead hard loops because of pyramid head is enough to make him a worthwhile killer. No idea what your thinking to see him worse than pig

So you can not camp and suddenly the killer is worthless? If a killer is defined by his ability to camp then Bubba is S tier, right?

PH has a chase power that gets hits as any safe loop when used properly, and his ability to immediately hook instead of slugging provides incredible synergy with Infectious Fright. A lot of people do not know how to use this killer. A tier, easily.

Are you serious? You simply can't camp like a braindead baboon anymore, that's why you cry? Because all the perks still don't work. Maybe git gud and stop camping?

I agree. With everything that no longer plays a part with the cages, you don't need to be camping them too.

Also let's not forget he has a power that can hit through walls. Which Pig also doesn't have. (If she does, I've been playing her wrong all this time! Someone teach me!)

Camp and tunnel much i see.

That’s on the players not the devs tho people abused the tunnel mechanic with him so a change had to be done now you can’t see to tunnel the target but you know it’s always across map from you still so to fix you still going and camping them if you stay too long it will move them again where you won’t possibly know sounds all fair to me

None of that matters because you can't take advantage of it anymore since the cage location is unknown. The only way you will be able to take advantage now is dumb luck of running into them after the cage. That's now yet another RNG element in a game that has too many of them.
Well like I said, I'm going to go back to Nurse. I eat DS for breakfast and then just kill you anyways...LOL

I would rather say he's a worse huntress.

How? You can gain ALOT more from the traps than you can a cage. Traps can waste a ton of time, and even get a kill with the right addons. PH antiloop is better, time (the most important trait for a killer) 100% favors the pig.

you act like cages won't work now... since you complained over a change to fix the tunneling and camping pyramid heads, I bet you do the same

maybe because you can hit survivors through objects and his mind game is near uncounterable. here is the simple use of his power
survivor running towards a vault or pallet? stick your great knife in the ground
do they start the vault/pallet animation? use your ranged attack to get a free hit
do they fake it? cancel your power and get a free m1
there is little they can actually do against it

Those two killers aren't even slightly alike. It's like saying oni is a worse trapper. And being able to see the cages wasn't the strongest part of his power at all, or even necessary. I don't get this hysteria at all.

I don't even get a lot of the tunneling crying as his ability to tunnel hasn't changed much.
His camping ability got gutted but not his tunneling.
If you get an early torment on a survivor you hook them instead of caging them sense a hooked survivor doesn't lose torment. Once you get unhooked he cages you bypassing DS.
Then he just Death hooks you sense you don't get DS or BT from being saved from a cage.

There is also a rare but potential extra play that can be done now:
The change states that if Pyramid Head hangs around a cage for too long it will teleport to another end of the map. Imagine if Pyramid Head finds the cage and defends it against 2-3 other survivors, when the cage disappears and goes to the other end of the map? They've still been counted down to death, but now the survivors are yet again ages away. Follow the survivors and again defend - this may result in the survivor dying and the others wasting their time!
Ultimately, Pyramid Head is much better than Pig in my opinion and still a very viable killer.

LMFAO My Pig AND Pyramid Head regularly rock their trials. What's the issue?
