Is spirit really that easy to play ?
Comments

i have no idea what 'audio quality level' is but i feel like enabling things like spatial sound and putting an equalizer on dbd is overkill when you can just use stridor. Hell if you use all that AND stridor, you're probably taking dbd too seriously

Maybe you don't understand what the word sadist means? Playing spirit or freddy is braindead easy 4ks, which i get no enjoyment out of doing. Yeah every 15 games you might get an actual game but the rest is a slaughter, unless you suck. How does playing actually challenging killers mean I need to grow a pair? Sounds like you need to grow a pair and learn how to play without training wheel killers to me.

She only "seems" easy because the average survivor is a potato that has no idea how to play against her.
She herself is not easy. It's a placebo from what you're playing against.
Four "good" even solo survivors will destroy her. That's not even getting into swf metrics.
She takes a lot of muscle memory for sound pin pointing and having played the game long enough to predict movement.

Im a killer main and i would say that she is actually, the problem with her that she can be countered by just one perk and that is iron will.
Thats why many spirit players run stridor, but personally i dont like stridor on her...
I read a discussion here once where someone said that it would be good if spirit would be visible during phase for like 0,25 seconds after an x amounth of time while phasing. During that time survivors would be able to see her and she would be able to see survivors and i think that would fix her unpredicability issue & iron will full counter issue while still keeping her in control of the chase.

Think of playing Spirit as getting close to the power of Nurse, but requiring as much effort or skill as Wraith.

I suck when I play as Spirit and I play as Nurse. Between the 2 id say Spirit takes less time to learn but I would not consider either of them easy.

I'm half deaf so uh she's not easy for me

First off, you don’t just pick up Spirit and instantly do well with her. Don’t give me that “jUsT hAvE a PaIr Of EaRs” BS because might as well say you need to have a pair of eyes to play as Nurse. Second off, I can play Spirit if I want to. I play others killers as well including a lot of Pig and Blight, I just find Spirit the most enjoyable. So don’t attack me for playing Spirit like all the toxic survivors that make up the majority of the community.

she has a slight learning curve specifically for her with scratch mark reads and sounds. Otherwise the same things you need to learn as a killer apply map knowledge/pressure and reading survivors

Look, people have varying levels of skill. After maybe ten games with the spirit you've capped the needed skill to consistently 4k with her, shes ridiculously overpowered and thats a fact. You can do whatever you want, sounds like you probably run spirit with ruin undying tinkerer and BBQ by your defensiveness, almost every survivor you play against is going to hate playing against you because it's not fun or a competition, unless you're a bad killer and need to use spirit to compete. I dont know anything about you but I can state that a bad spirit is easy to beat, but a good killer playing spirit is miserable, even if you win its just miserable. Noone likes it, I don't understand how killer players get any enjoyment out of stomping survivors because their killer is op. I know you want to think you've got some great skill because you can 4k with spirit I guess, but its easy af

the fact that Spirit doesn't have 50 million options gift wrapped for her and requires actual braincells and game sense (excluding Stridor) is also a factor

Wow look at you making assumptions about me. Literally assuming I’m running a certain build when I’m not. The only perk you mentioned that I do run is BBQ but it’s literally only for bloodpoints. I usually also run Whispers, Thanat, and Sloppy. You really need to get rid of this mentality because it makes you look bad. Over here wondering why I enjoy Spirit even tho she’s “OP.” She’s not OP at all, she just has issues with not giving feedback to survivors which I’m all for the devs looking into fixing. Even if she was OP, garbage, mid-tier or whatever I would still play her a lot because I just love her gameplay, character, lore, aesthetic, and everything about her. I would like it if I can enjoy my favorite killer without having to feel accused or judged, even if I play as fair as possible not tunneling people off hook, camping, etc.

Exactly but don’t tell that to survivors because they’ll get angry.

Speaking as someone who has mained Spirit and is in the category of "I will never ever ever be able to play Nurse properly, but have kinda-sorta gotten a handle on Blight":
Spirit has a lower skill floor than those killers, but you still need some strong game sense to perform really well. You need to be able to do solid reads on survivors, predict what they are gonna do, and then get there first. The collision nerf definitely made her harder to play, at least to me, because I counted on bumping into survivors to get a lot of surprise phasing hits. But if you can listen to breathing, watch grass, and make some solid reads at pallets and vaults, you can do well with her. The problem is that if you screw these things up consistently, Spirit can sometimes struggle to catch up, because she is nothing but a slightly slower M1 killer while her phase is on cooldown.
Also, trying to fake survivors out at windows so that you can grab them when they double back -- it's a gamble that really backfires and costs you time, if it doesn't work. A lot of people make this out to be some easy win, big-brain strategy, but if you stop moving and the survivor doesn't fall for it, you've given up a lot of ground for free. So don't go too crazy with this ruse, especially if a survivor clearly isn't buying it the first time you try.

Try to justify it however you want, I really don't care, but bringing spirit is like a survivor bringing a handgun in and shooting the killer in the face, it doesn't matter if you say you.dont play her because she's op, maybe you should stop caring what survivors think, because they all rightly think that spirit is a braindead training wheels killer and don't want to play against one. Noone can stop you from playing spirit, and you can't stop them giving you ######### about it because spirits are lousy to play against. Noone likes it sorry to burst your bubble.

She's as good as your headphones are and your understanding of survivor's movements, their patterns, and map layout. That's it really, she is on the harder side because she requires some experience to really excel with her, but if you play both sides you notice spirit players that don't even know how to run tiles properly as killer.. because they don't have too and yet can still do really well with her.
