Spirit doesn't take skill at red ranks
Comments
-
I play on console without crossplay, so take that for what you will. But I'm not lying, that is genuinely my experience. There are rare times when I get 0-1k but it's usually as a result to me playing in a clearly suboptimal way, such as trying to tunnel down one survivor that I would be better off leaving for later. As for playing her even though I think she's OP, yeah, it's not my responsibility to balance the game. I always play optimally. For killers that means playing top-tier killers with top-tier perks. For survivor that means playing "small PP" build (Does anyone call killer meta perks "small PP" lol I wonder why that is.)
I know I can capture small moments of gameplay on console, but I'm not sure if I can capture full games or not. I'll look into it.
Okay, but if we're increasingly balancing the game around competent SWF's without concessions for soloQ, than why should we expect that killers be balanced around bad killer players?

In contrast to other ranks where she does take skill

we need a decent ranking system.. anyone who have 2 arms headphones and a little brain can get rank 1 (killer or survivor doesn't matter).. "Spirit is too strong even in red ranks".. yep spirit is a strong killer.. in red ranks sometimes i dominate with her sometimes survivors are just simply too good.. i can literally hit rank 1 with any killer so rank means nothing.. i don't even try to get rank 1 anymore.. sometimes i feel im playing vs bots.. sometimes it's just frustrating.. and there is no reward to stay in rank 1 so screw it.. i just play on lower ranks and try as much builds as possible :P and having fun meanwhile

Are you willing to prove your big talk with a bet? It seems you figured it all out, so please just say yes.

No. Deal with it.

:> as expected

There’s nothing to prove
A billy who can curve around loops and snipe people or a huntress who can cross map are much more impressive than the weeb anime killer who ignores the entire chase

You could run that build on any killer and never lose a game

A billy can not snipe people, sorry kiddo billy is in a chainsaw sprint and not a fired railgun which connects instantly, the only way that this happens is because of stupid survivors who are too dumb to move.
Please just stop, you made a flawed statement, and you are too little to say sorry i f*ed up. Instead you try to make up with horrible comparisons such as billy can snipe good survivors across the map, yeah lul, lul ok :facepalm: .

Quite the childish statement from someone who should be a good example to members of the community, considering you have 2,000 posts. "lul lul ok :facepalm::: haha funny"

If you can’t connect the word Snipe to how bully can predict where survivors may be and cross the map and insta down them, then please go read a book.
Im sorry you got offended by me calling spirit a weeb killer omegalul

Since when does the amount of posts relate to being a good example for the community? But no worries, I think I am, since I am calling out your bs. Just because you are a terrible survivor who lasts 20 seconds in a chase and dcs instantly the moment he sees a spirit, does not mean everybody does.
Yeah I can connect that, but unlike you , I actually did play killer. See billy is very loud when he approaches, so in order for a survivor to be hit by a billy who sprints across the map, they have to be blind, deaf and incapable of using the movement keys, that is literally how easy it is too dodge a billy who sprints across the map. Far more easy than to avoid a curve of a decent billy or hugging windows. Play the game maybe instead of watching some streamer?
Actually I didn't get offended by it, you should stop to assume so much on your end, spirit is probably the most cringy killer there is. Yet she takes skill, otherwise you would not have chickened out of a bet. So most people saw botb, we saw there is counterplay to spirit and not every survivor goes down in 20secs like you and your friend up there. No worries now, jump back to to the other tab, spam omegalul spirit takes skill omegalul and keep parroting in your echochamber, just know that you are not able to put your money where your mouth is.

When did I say that I am a terrible survivor or I DC when I see a spirit? Don't go around assuming things, for the love of Mathieu Cote.
All I said is that it doesn't take skill because I personally always got a 3k with her. Maybe if I play another match today, it won't happen that way because everyone can have bad days.

A bet? What. Anyone who has played this game for longer than a week knows that there is no mindgaming a Spirit. If you don't have a specific perk on then you're screwed.

4k€ for a 4k of 4 specific survivors, swf premade-one round, you don't end up with a 4k you pay the same to each survivor. After all there is no mindgaming her, just 4ks.

I never said just 4Ks. After all, gen times are stupid af in this game. That being said, a Spirit with Stridor is going to end chases extremely quick as long as they can play the game.

PepeLaugh I mained Spirit for a long time, I stoped because it was wayy too easy but go off

Because only killer only mains or people who play Spirit "don't care" when it's obvious that Spirit is a problem.
0 -
Nah, people are able to not care about skill levels, because guess what? Dbd is a casual game, not a competitive e-sports game, stop assuming.

What is there to prove? A killer who goes invisible and fast with a speed boost at the end when phasing with no interaction from the other side than using Iron Will, Spine Chill and maybe Urban leaves no discussion. The fact she can stand still and people call that a "mindgame" is ridiculous. You shouldn't have to run specific perks to counter ONE of the killers on the roster.

That is true, sorry for that, I just picked a few people randomly who all argued it doesn't take any skill as spirit. I think I accidently included you and actually wanted to quote somebody else, so sorry, my bad. I just wanted to see the big mouths back up their talk, but they can not, amusing to see.
The speed boost at the end was nerfed significantly, the other side does have interaction it is called making a read.
Whether you think it is ridiculous or not does not matter, it is a mindgame after all, check the definition of mindgame. You do something in order to manipulate somebody in order to gain an advantage, standing still as spirit does exactly that. The irony of that is that survivors do have the exact same mindgame.
Oh no they don't! Yes they do, a short loop at a pallet, you stand still as survivor and pretend to drop the pallet. The killer either respects the pallet which leads to another loop as you again press shift + w or you see an animation triggering in which case you press space and get a stun. WOW such skill, dude! Do survivors complain about that? Yes when they have the reflexes of a dead cat and get hit through the pallet, which most of the time is their own fault.
0 -
How much bias are you going to show? You're comparing regular looping where the killer can either fake walking through the pallet and then go around the other side of the short loop to zone the survivor and down them while they're in animation. Even then on those short loops, once bloodlust kicks in, the survivor is going to have to drop the pallet to a killer who can ignore all that, go invisible and just listen to down the survivor whichever way they hear breathing, footsteps, terrain etc. Like okay?

damn ive just re-read this entire thread and it seems this is a touchy issue apparently so im gonna leave this
spirit does take skill but its not mechanicaly based like billy or nurse but its way too easy to learn for someone who is as strong as spirit, its the same issue with freddy in a way. where its too much benefit for such a low skill cap

"you do something to manipulate somebody to gain an advantage"
doing nothing isnt a mindgame your literally standing still with your hands not touching the keyboard that doesnt take skill or experience
