Is Spirit Op, Balanced, or Trash?

Let's go again. Yeah I'll say she's OP. She takes a skill ceiling but not Nurse level and so you'll see her commonly because of this. One of the big issues is you won't know when she's phasing many times. And just has to stand for a mind game. And a god Spirit is just as troublesome as a Stridor Spirit. Grass and footsteps she'll use to get you and you won't know what to do since you won't know if she's right there.

    You see, this is such a hard question to answer because she’s not OP imo. The issue with Spirit is that she doesn’t give feedback to survivors about what she’s doing, making her 1v1 unbalanced. I think if we’re looking at it from a 4v1 POV, she’s strong enough to beat good teams but it’s 100% possible to beat her, therefore I actually think she’s balanced in the 4v1. Back when Prayer Beads was such a joke, everything about her was busted if she had that add on equipped, but that doesn’t exist anymore.

    I think all Spirit needs is to give survivors a reasonable counter while still having an incredibly strong 1v1. I do believe she will get reworked some time this year, it’s just uncertain whether the devs will somehow make her OP, super weak, or balanced.

    She's not balanced, but I don't think she's op in any sense. I said balanced because she needs one tweak to be truly balanced (moving grass), and she's not overpowered.

    She's not overpowered, but she's definitely a tad bit too comparatively to other killers.

    She isn't overpowered, but she really isn't balanced either. Idk, she has her own little grey area that Deathslinger also belongs in. While her power is pretty much uncounterable, she's an M1 killer with a long cooldown.

    She isn't OP, she just needs some minor tweaks to her power. Something to give the survivors an idea of what she is doing.

    OP

    She has an uncounterable luck-based (at best) chase power, very good mobility and very good add-ons.

    OP

    I always ask, why did they nerf Billy and Nurse, but not Spirit? Billy was the only 100% balanced killer in the game; Nurse is on the same level of Spirit, but actually takes skill to play.
