Why do the devs really like doing unnecessary and poor nerfs
its really annoying when they nerf something for no good reason. for example the billy's overheated mechanic, who asked for that the only thing Billy had that needed a change was his add ons. even in the patch notes don't clearly state why they nerfed him like that. They said he was a good killer and they like where he was, so they nerfed him, it doesn't make sense. another unnecessary nerf was discordance. for some reason they added a range limit to it I believe in the blight patch. they had to buff the range since it was so bad. what was the reason for nerfing discordance no one ever complained about it?
now for poor nerfs. these are nerfs that could have worked but were poorly executed like Freddy's nerf. it didn't do anything to him. he is just slightly worst. none of the problems were fixed about him. oh ya, an unnecessary nerf was also to Freddy's dream pallets. why dream pallets they were clearly worst than snares. another poor nerf was the twins nerf. although it doesn't really change their lethality it makes them feel so clunky to play. also, the nerf is so dumb, you being punished for using victor correctly which is so absurd. " you downed a survivor with your ability so here's a whole DS stun. the twins nerf didn't even change their problems as well. they need a nerf to their camping potential, not their potential slugging.

I thought this was going to be about the DS nerf.

Well, who knows? From Freddy's first nerf after his release to the Twins recent nerf... weird and unnecessary changes beyond our comprehension.

Billy's nerf was the Devs very clearly realising they went way too far. His initial overheat mechanic was great because it prevented facecamping and that's pretty much it, so they made a second iteration that was halfway between that and the PTB dumpster fire and suddenly, with no good addons and a self-punishing power and a bunch of QoL nerfs such as camera adjustments and mega janky survivor movement that made backrevs a no-skill coin toss, well... There's a reason they barely even touched Twins, Freddy, and even Huntress (yay, an add-on pass, great, fantastic, not how about her not tossing beachballs that make no sense because you can just reshape the projectile to a disc?).

About the freddy nerf, one of his issues actually was fixed, his extremely boring slowdown addons.

i suppose your right but he is still pretty boring even with out the slowdown addons

No, the reason they nerfed Billy was because they're insane, but the initial overheat mechanic literally did nothing excep prevent standing there revving your saw for minutes on end so it was a pretty nice mechanic.

I don’t think his add on’s really mattered that much. A tinkerer, ruin, undying/PGTW Freddy that teleports immediately on tinkerer proc still creates long and oppressive feeling games.

Because they're brown ranks who play/think like brown ranks.

Billy got a overheat mechanic so no one could just infinitely rev in a survivors' face on the hook. Twins got nerfed because of the slugging but that was actually a bad one because it didn't fix the reason why the slugging was happening in the first place (victor spam) and Freddy got nerfed because people were just spamming blood pools around pallets (didn't fix that but the add-ons got changed because the slow-down ones plus perks were unbearable) and his dream pallets are much better since you get a free hit if they don't realize PLUS they are locked in the animation of the drop so you can get another hit before they get a chance to react with STBFL so honestly, Dreams should have been nerfed harder than his snares.
