The survivor circlejerk here is ridiculous it's as bad as the steamforums but it's to be expected when ppl get coddled for years, what I propose would make the game not only better but challenging, lowranksurvivors would have to get good and the killrates would probably be more around 3k/match which is also more fun for survivors than just escaping.

Heres a video of me 4King against a rank three, two rank 5s and a rank 9.
2 Dstrikes & an insta heal btw, probably SWF but who cares.
and yes, im not a rank 1 killer (because i play more games now) but hey, swf is unbeatable, right?Yes cuz no one has ever seen new killers do great for the first month of release while everyone is getting used too them still right? I forget we apperantly rank killers by ther first day~

Yet you same killers say spirit was trash tier and when she 4ks it's because she's new or because the survivors were trash/noob.
It's funny how you ignore all the ppl that play both sides and play her and against her and think she's in a good spot but needs sme small qol buffs.

Doesn’t really matter. No matter how many tweaks they do to Killers, Survivors, Pallets, Maps, or Perks, Gen Rush still wins everything. Not the Survivors fault, it’s just that easy to Rush the Gens. When Survivors buckle down, and optimize Gens, it’s a GG unless the Killer is playing Nurse, or the Survivors are ######### and every time they get chased, they hit the floor in less than 30 seconds.0

AHAHAH @powerbats have you heard this guy? He claims hes so good but here's a list of things he does.
- DC's maps he's not good at
- Demands for more insta downs
- Uses third party software to brighten up reds to chase easier
AHAHAHA this guy is literally the worst "best" player I've ever seen in my life what a joke ahahahahahahahaha.
and yes, true does call all this stuff out but still does very well in matches, so it's almost like you can still cope with this "incredibly strong over powered survivor meta".
Nice dodge, schoolyard level.
And this pathetic attempt of socialy shame someone else when you don't have anymore argument.
You're the definition of toxicity.
Also maybe stop posting while drunk, you'll make us a favor.

I like how you comment on peoples views yet have probably never streamed in your entire life, and the reason you don't is because no one wants to watch someone who constantly whines about their side being hard done by and hard to play.

Yea, literally this. You hop into a conversation, read the last few comments, start talking absolute drool towards me that makes literally no sense what so ever.

You're just trolling and lobbying for survivors, as usual.
Trying to spread as much lie and non-senses as possible, for the "lol" i guess ?

If you want to provide an opposing view point, great, but that's not what this guy wants. He wants any pro-killer ideas buried beneath a landfill of unreadable and pointless garbage. Which, sadly, he very much succeeds at doing.

What the actual ######### are you on about? I've actually never been drunk at all when posting on the forums, you're actually talking so much crap right now. I would LOVE it if you quoted the comment I made about me being drunk because it absolutely didn't happen.
Also, quote one thing in this thread where I am "Survivor" sided, because it hasn't happened at all.
I also absolutely don't lie about anything either, I guarantee you can't find one comment on this entire website of me "lying". Opinions aren't lies and you'll one day figure that one out, sweetheart.

Literally commented on a thread earlier of our friend RSB screaming for hatch to be removed because he wants a 4K, how is that not 4K entitlement, lmfao.

In the past, killers had legitimate problems like endless exhaustion and conversations with them were a lot better. Most of unbalance is wiped out but people still want buffs and nerfs and they complain too much that it is not funny anymore.
Forum mods have banned a couple of them to make the forum more serious, and right now, the forum feels a little bit boring. People try to find new ways to entertain themselves. I am glad you found your own LOL

It's still not enough. Even very good spirit players get destroyed by SWF groups or just good survivors in general..
Iron will is also an extremely good counter to her which is kinda cheap because you counter her with a perk not with skill.
She still requires the most effort to get a normal m1 attack and still has to wait ages to refill her power.

Literally just keep running and she'll never catch you. Can't mindgame at pallets/windows if you never stop moving.

To stay on topic: The buff was nice, but she could still use a little help. Didn't they mention reducing the ear piercing sound she makes when she uses her power? What happened to that? And after that i think we're getting close to a ok killer.

You can say what you want about Senz but he has a point about what he said.Whatever points he may have gets drowned out by his juvenile attitude. Here's a mockup of pretty much any SenzuDuck post.
(Killer Says Something)
SD: LULZ 4K Entitlement! (Pointless rant about things killer never mentioned)(Killer Comments Back, possibly paraphrasing something SD insinuated or outright said)
SD: LULZ Not what I said! Quote where I said those EXACT WORDS! LULZ words in my mouth hur!And then he'll finish up with some trite and juvenile poke that only he finds funny.
Again, whatever points he may make are bookended by obnoxious troll behavior that seriously needs to be ignored. At this point, those of us who respond to him or talk about him are just as much at fault as he is for allowing him to derail a thread, which I'm assuming is his entire point to begin with. Which is ridiculous of course because the Devs have not once looked at a thread where a killer said something and said to themselves, "Whoa, SD didn't mention 4k entitlement...the killer must have a point!"
Regardless, I am done talking to or about SD. It's what he wants, attention, and it's the one thing that we (as a forum) sincerely need to deny him.
I noticed quite a few survivor trolls on this forum, will just ignore them from now on. Can't argue with ppl who think selfcare is balanced, a perk that gets 98% use, might as well make that ######### baseline.

Indeed. Behaviour needs to follow Blizzard's way of balancing talents in Heroes of the Storm:
- If something is used a lot, find out why it's used a lot.
- If it's used a lot because the other options are crap, buff the other options.
- If it's used a lot because it's broken, nerf the main use it has so it's more in line with the other options.
Self Care falls under the second reason - it's used a lot because infinite, self-sustaining heals without any drawbacks make hits irrelevant. Therefore, the self-heal aspect of it must be nerfed.

@TheDarkLycan said:
Love how they buffed her cooldown even though they said they wouldn'tBecause they have no clue what they're doing. Her power would still be weak compared to billy or even nurse, even if she had no cooldown.
That's honestly what they need to do. Get rid of the cooldown and let her charge her power while moving. Then lower her to Nurse speed. Make her basically HAVE to use her power to get a hit, like a different flavor of Nurse.
Both would be high skillcap / low skill floor Killers. Except she can be juked in different ways (standing still, crouching, doubling back, etc) as opposed to Nurse and still suffers from the weakness of having to obey the laws of terrain / pallets / windows. Upside would be that she doesn't suffer from fatigue and obviously she has the whole invisibility thing going for her until the survivors notice her jet engine sounds.
You got it wrong there, killer powers should have a disadvantage equal to the advantage they bring. Compared to the meta survivor perks which are 100% beneficial and their items (their "power" so to say) which also do not have any disadvantages, the killer powers have to be this way, otherwise the game would be balanced and casuals would stop playing it because they would have a hard time winning.

This has been one of the most entertaining threads to read.1

I honestly can’t belive you guys - it’s like you don’t read anything past the last two comments.
all I stated was that killer abilities need downsides, and the burger dude starts talking about self care?
You guys call me a troll but when I simply stated it can’t be all rainbows and pony’s for the abilities you start talking about stupid stuff that wasn’t even relevant to the conversation?
It’s the equivalent of you guys asking for a self care nerf and I come In “yea but the nurses abilty tho omg op”. (FWIW I love the nurse)
Smh, I’m the troll, clearly.

SC is already getting a nerf but that's not even what this thread is about, there's plenty of other threads talking about it.
So if a perk gets 98% use it should be baseline well does that mean DS/SB etc get to be baseline then? Are you killer mains ok with that since you already complain about that stuff being used?

Heroes of The storm is a bas comparison since you've got 2 teams of 5 on 5 with vastly different abilities that can not only damage each other. They also have AOE effects and can damage terrain.
Buffing other options seems to be a no go with quite a few killer mains on here if both past and current history is any indication.
Just look at the outcry when Calm Spirit got buffed or whenever anyone talks about changing No Mither or any other survivor perks that not meta.
You get the typical catcalls and whines about all you want is something more op, survivors are already broken/op etc etc etc.
I've suggested changes to other perks to break them into being viable and I get the above almost always. However if I suggest a buff to killer perks it's a whole new ballgame, then if the buff isn't op enough i'm just trolling or not being serious.

I think the principle of buffs/nerfs they use for HotS applies regardless of the game. It's simply logical.

Except you can't kill the killer, so survivors have to be strong enough to not get nuked in a second and killers have to strong enough and intimidating enough when played with enough skill to kill 2/3 most of the time.

The Devs need to nerf/buff based on what is best for the game, not what any particular group cries loudest about. And, don't get it twisted, the loudest group is survivors. The devs have never bent over backward to do anything for killers.I think before other survivor perks get buffed the holy trinity need to be balanced so that survivors stop comparing every perk to them. Right now if a perk doesn't compare to SC/DS/SB then it's trash and the devs don't care about survivors(despite all evidence to the contrary). The problem is they live in quaking fear of survivors who have shown that if you dare threaten them with any sort of a nerf they'll attack your game directly through review bombs(it was, what, 500 negative reviews a day for 4 or 5 days earlier this summer?)
The other problem is that I don't trust the Devs to balance anything. They made two significant nerfs this last patch; one to the Huntress and one to Autodidact. Both of them were over the top rendering both unplayable. Why did they have to hit both so hard? At least they've rolled back the Huntress nerf. Here's hoping they get their act together for autodidact, which could be an amazing perk if they remove any negative healing attached to it.
Anyway, regardless the devs need to nut up and do what's best for the game. And maybe hire an outside company to let them know what would be best for the game.
I like how you refer to it as "a huntress nerf" no, it tightened up her hitboxes, which i a change you're supposed to get used too. Now I'm back to hitting survivors around corners with the hatchets.
There's so many messed up hit boxes in this game and that is where i think they should start. Some killers get stunned in some places where others do not, it should be consistent, they should either all get stunned at this one spot, or none of them should.
Same goes for messed up hit boxes on survivors, some get hit some don't get hit, it should be consistent.
Too many players think they're good because they pallet stun that shouldn't or that they've damaged a survivor from a meter away around a corner.

The hit box was big, they made it small. That's a nerf. Once again you're arguing to hear your own voice. I never said her hit box didn't require a nerf, I said the nerf they went with was too great. I don't even know why I'm replying to you, once again you're just proving you don't care about what is actually posted and just want to derail a thread with pointless garbage. Good job, success once again.It was a killer main that derailed this thread, this is a thread about the spirit getting buffed, but of course, killer mains have to come in here moaning about other stuff like the "huntress" nerf that not a single survivor or killer asked for, but might as well blame survivors for it.
Hit boxes are crap all around the board on both sides, which I've clearly argued for both sides but I'm "biased" despite giving reasons why both hit boxes need changing. I directly talk about her "nerf" (more accurate hitboxes) yet me talking about the huntress is me derailing the thread that actually had nothing to do wih her anyway?
Majority of killers are absolutely clueless on this forum because they see my name, ignore the text I put and reply something like
"OH MUR GURD BIASED SURVIVOR MAIYN".
When i argue for things for both sides, equally. It's just theres more moaning killer thread on this forum than anything else, so of course you see me telling killers to get better more often.
Giche, literally made up stuff about me because he had me mistaken for someone else and you all jumped on board with his comments, despite them being not true, thats the real bias, can't handle an opposing opinion.

You haven't given an opposing opinion. You're just arguing, quibbling over semantics with nerf or balance. You are just trying to pick fights, as usual, and once again I'm done with youSaying that stun hit boxes and killer hit boxes both need adjusting so each side doesn't get unnecessarily hit? Oh yea dude, look at my bias. You completely ignore that fact im arguing for changes on both side and say im biased. That, is actually what bias is.
