    They didn't fix a single one of his core issues, so he's still garbage.

    He feels a lot smoother to play, like i don't get pissed whenever i slow myself down to the speed of a walking grandma as i'm throwing knives. But yeah he's still weak

    Agreed, while he's still a pretty weak killer, he's a pretty relaxing one to play as well. WAY less stressful to play than before. It's a fun experience tbh. Probably the best killer for beginner players honestly.

    I like him better than before as he feels like he actually has potential now

    Unless you go against the kind of team that beats pretty much everyone but a good Spirit or Nurse with full slowdown, then he's actually really good. One slip up and the survivors are screwed. His recoil could use a bigger reduction and he should be able to bank his Main Event, but otherwise he's a solid mid tier killer.

    Every corner the survivors turn is a blade or two. That's damn good.

    He's actually playable against average survivors now that your knives don't just have rng chance to not hit survivors and he can keep up better when throwing them.

    But any killer whose power is to hit survivors multiple times for a health state is going to be weak.

    He's still more or less just a worse Plague, but it's lot more fun playing him now that they removed the spread.

    I still think he needs a rework, but he's not the nigh unplayable Depipster that he started out as.

    I'm assuming they're still doing the wait till 2+ months to see how he's doing, because the buffs weren't enough.

    huntress is better but if your a huntress who cant aim he is for you, plus he is the funnest anyway, I don't think he NEEDS another buff. Know how to play him and he can be good, dont over commit to knives which is the primary problem i see, use m1 it still exists even if his power is ranged. Also dont use him like huntress, get close, make them injured get their haste, and then keep hitting as they run with it and you can sometimes fully down them with just that, other times you chase them but then its only a few knives their downed.
