Why has everyone lost interest in the twins ?

I would like to know you guys thoughts about the twins and what can make them better.

    Im actually just getting into them and having a blast. The plays you can make with the twins is unique of all the killers. being able to hook someone and injure or down someone across the map at basically the same time is so strong!

    For myself at least, they go basically completely against my play style.

    I like moving around all the time and not camping in one area or one survivor. With The Twins to effectively use them, you are basically forced to camp since you have no way to recall Victor. So it's common I will use Victor to down someone then I either have him sit there and proxy camp or I waste time moving him somewhere else so I don't proxy camp but then he's just uselessly sitting there until someone finally wanders over to give him a good kicking...

    I think the twins are A tier as they are

    Make them better? Give them a skin so that's it's Jennifer Tilly and Chucky. Won't matter how crappy the Twins are gameplay-wise, then.

    Personally, one of the things I really disliked when I tried playing them was the delay between returning to Charlotte and being able to walk.

    The Twins are (is?) one of the most unique killer designs in this game, I love the concept and the look of the character. I'd like to face her more often, I've literally gotten her about three times in 500 hours of gameplay.

    One thing that would help is reverting the change that gives Victor a DS stun for playing well

    I just got them last week and am having a good time with them. I don't do tje whole camp and slug thing most people do though.

    They already weren't the best, so I think this nerf was the final nail in the coffin tbh.

    They have a rather dull play style.

    Hit M1, chase with Victor, get the down. Hook with Charlotte as close to where you left Victor. Victor essentially camps the hook while you search for another surv with Charlotte. Over and over.


    Or slug everyone, which isn't super fun either.

    I find them fun to play here and there. Until they made Victor take a nap after downing someone giving the survivors plenty of time do kick you in a field goal

    I like them on launch but all the bugs put me off them and now I have been messing around with blight, trickster and survivor but now they are getting a nerf next patch so I will be even less liekly to play them.

    I think it’s because they’re hard to use effectively.

    I initially hated them a lot. But now, after persisting for some weird unknown reason, I’m getting much better at them, and enjoying them a lot.

    They are getting a huge nerf for using their power, whether successful or not. They should have made it that Victor is only crushable after missing a pounce.

    They are very unique but pretty situational to use to their full extent. They also need to make Charlotte have abilities, as right now all the power rests with Victor. It would be neat if she had something of her own in the kit.

    Second worst killer in the game, behind Trickster. The amount of counters they have is amazing. Seeing as the only viable playstyle they have is camping/slugging, well, they're boring. Interesting concept, but terrible execution. And the fact that they nerfed Victor just makes it even worse. Good indication that the balance devs are brown ranks.

    The Twins are being patched out of the game soon - People are just pre-emptively abandoning ship.

    Twins have a unique playstyle that meddles with the usual 'have ruin protect the gens and slug and facecamp people'.

    Sure, a lot of people do use them for camping, but it's a kind of camping that is for once challenging for both sides:

    With regular camping you can run in and unhook, maybe get hit, maybe fail at the unhook, as the killer has their whole attention on just one character. With the twins the killer and survivors need to pay so much more attention and make different decisions than with regular camping that... with the twins camping is actually okay. because there is a fairer aspect to it with them


    And a lot of people don't want that it'd seem


    EDIT: To elaborate:

    You can hook someone and park either victor or charlotte by the hook, but then you got to pay twice the attention to the game and have more decisions to make:

    Do you see a chase through and get a survivor injured, or do you switch back and stop an unhook?

    You have to divide your attention between two characters, with one of them being 'killable' by survivors.

    And survivors also have more decisions to make:

    If you parked victor by the hook, do they go for the kick or the unhook? Do they wait for someone else to come and help? if they go for the kick or the unhook, where they too close and victor will jump in their face if they get near?
