Devs, are you going to nerf deathslinger?
I know better then to ask for actual stats, but I feel since i've been spending alot of time to get accustomed to solely him as a killer i'd like to know sooner rather then later so I have a chance to jump ship to someone else. Seems many are on a nerf spree now that billy has a rework and i'd like to just dodge it completely by getting accustomed to a different killer. I've been at most a green rank killer that often has to deal with being bullied by reds, so i'd like a killer that is static and isnt changed after i somehow get into higher ranks.

I just got into clown. I used to play him only when I played on my ex's account. I suppose only thing we can do to stay safe is to play the most underperforming killers.

Sad that posts like this even have to be made!

No point in stocking up on addons for any killer since nerfs is always around the corner.

Just hop on demo or clown. No worries about nerfs there

Just seems like though it's disregarded usually when there's a bunch of topics consistently about one killer they do get a change in the next major update. So with topics on deathslinger becoming more common i'm just gettin' a little sweaty.

A nerf to a killer is never going to be first announced responding to some random thread on the forums. That just isn't how it works nor should it. When they make changes to the games they will announce it in some official fashion such as one of their podcasts, twitter feeds, news update or whatever. Then you'll see a couple dozen posts sprout up on the forums talking about it. That's how information is disseminated.
Now this is just my personal feeling on the matter but I don't believe there is any reason for deathslinger to be nerfed in any meaningful fashion. He's not overperforming or overplayed. His mechanics are neither unfair or unfun. There just really is no reason to think he's up for a nerf. If anything, I think there is space in his kit for a buff. For example, imagine if he had an ability like Freddy's but instead of teleporting to generators he could shoot hooks from long range and pull himself around the map.

Don't want to jinx myself here, but they nerfed spirit based on pickrate and killrate. Slinger has I would assume an average kill rate and an incredibly low pick rate judging by my matches.
More importantly, most of people actually complaining about Slinger are just on the bandwagon and don't have many valid arguments. I know the devs are competent enough to realise this and likely won't make changes just because of a small minority complaining about deathslinger.
EDIT: or of course they could nerf slinger for no reason, that's an option as well but that'll kill him. Just shows if they do people aren't willing to learn predictions. :L

I can’t see him being nerfed. Why nerf an already underused killer who actually takes practise / skill to master? He’s one of my favourites to play as and it’s actually a shame I don’t face him much on console.

Well billy was balanced and nurse took skill. Boom both nerfed with a charge meter and pointless add ons.

Yup that be the only killer who deemed the mascot. What not to like about a killer who used to lose his power due to sabo and toolboxes. You won't have to worry about him being nerfed.

Why the exageration? You make it sound like the devs are going from one killer to the next and nerfing every one of them. And that‘s just not true, not even in the slightest.

I've been playing since last year. It went nurse, spirit, now billy. It seems to be a snowball effect. Buff trapper so he can step over his own traps when?

I dont like deathslinger since I don't really like guessing games, but theres no need for a nerf.
