Spirit's playrate will drop substantially
Stridor was the only reason Spirit had an average play rate. It made her accessible to people that didn't main her.
Now she's probably going to have similar stats to Nurse. No one plays her but mains do very well.

But that's a good thing.
The few of the strongest killers shouldn't really be easy to pick up and play really well near instantly.
It's good to have strong easy to play killers (like freddy) but for the absolute strongest, not so much.
8 -
great, so what you're saying is, I can expect even more Wraiths.
sigh, back to the closet with you, Kindred :/
7 -
Hooray!
2 -
I don’t believe that would be the reason why her playrate would drop.
Not hearing footsteps while phasing however….might drop it
21 -
As if that's going to stop people from crying about spirit.
6 -
->This S-tier killer is now unplayable because this one perk is now countered by one other perk
Get real, dude.
21 -
It never does for any killer.
3 -
Not trying to be insensitive or provocative to Spirit players but honestly I am happy if that turns out to be the case.
4 -
Nurse is still way more difficult than Spirit so I really don't think it's gonna be the case. Spirit also still has very broken addons
1 -
About time. No more easy games for baby killers. Hopefully there is a bit more variety in the game now, instead of seeing her 24/7.
0 -
I doubt it, her pickrate dropped when they nerfed her most stupid Add Ons, but then players realized that she is still good.
Will be the same now, probably a Drop because of the Stridor-Change, but then players will pick her up again.

You don't need Stridor to win with spirit.
14 -
Well I’m still playing her a lot. She has always been and will continue to be my favorite killer regardless of any nerfs.
9 -
I never use stridor on her, just use good headphones.
1 -
If you need a specific perk to play a killer, you probably shouldn't play them to begin with.
Spirit is still strong, hopefully she will just be a little less oppressive.

Now just keep the footstep bug and spirit is finally balanced

Spirit got nerfed by a bug
Most boring and unfun killer to face in the entire game is going to be played less

Replace Stridor with Bloodhound = profit.
If a survivor is running Iron Will + Lucky Break you're honestly better off dropping chase with them instead of wasting time trying to guess and find them but Bloodhound will make it very obvious if there are no blood puddles. I doubt EVERY survivor will run IW + LB in case of a Spirit every match. LB seems very rare to me these days tbh.
Spirit is still going to be S tier I really don't get this argument. Stridor is going to be useless though but it already kind of was except for on Spirit.

Bloodhound does nothing for spirit.
Blood already glows in the spirit world which is only visible if she's running Father's Glasses (an iri addon).
2 -
So less Spirit? This is good.
3 -
Predator, here we come! At last you might do something!
0 -
God, I hope not. I already see him every other ######### game.
0 -
You have to run Father's Glasses for that effect though. Bloodhound will make blood glow while phasing without them so you can run stronger add ons.
Or one could run Father's glasses to free up a perk slot in place of Bloodhound. Either or works, I'm just saying that Bloodhound is a viable tracking perk on her that was never really considered due to Stridor.
0 -
I don't think many people will care (me included).
0 -
Blood does not appear when spirit is phasing without the addon. Running Bloodhound does not change that.
6 -
Wait has it always been like that or did they change that, I could have sworn Bloodhound worked on her in the past.
My mistake I thought phasing let you see blood.
0 -
Spirit can not see bloods when she is phasing. She needs Father add-on
0 -
Next update: changed some of spirits addons and predator to make footsteps louder
0 -
Honestly, I don't even care. Can't face Spirit if you are not playing DBD.
1 -
Surely spirit is playable without stridor? lol
0 -
To be completely honest, it's not like Stridor Spirit was that popular in the first place (in my experience).
0 -
A killer's playrate always drops for a while even after mild nerfs, it'll probably pick back up.
2 -
It was pretty popular. Every single Spirit I went against used Stridor.
4 -
Most of the Spirits I go against have some assortment of meta perks like ruin and devour and the such. Plus, I made the mistake of prestiging my Spirit and now the bloodweb refuses to give me Stridor no matter how much damn money I throw at it.
0 -
Issue is, this doesn’t resolve the core issue with Spirit, if I don’t run iron will I will just get steamrolled unless I’m at a god pallet/window.
2 -
If you need Stridor to play Spirit, my dude, you're a terrible Spirit. And that is saying something.
0 -
I'm not understanding the point of this post Good Spirits will still do fine but the ones crutching will lose more thats literally it.
1 -
Kinda like what happened with Decisive.
People heard "nerf" and overreacted.
4 -
Exactly, another example. You barely saw a DS shortly after the Nerf, now it is a frequent Perk again.
3 -
I swear that nerf did more for DS than what original DS did.
I know the original allowed you to get off the Killer's back instantly if you were the obsession, but the new one completely changes how Killers play the game just by the virtue of EXISTING.
1 -
Oh, I was talking about the recent DS nerf.
The old times shall not be spoken of.
1 -
She has it even harder because of running footsteps not doing any noise during phasing if using Iron Will. But it's not like a real loss. Spirit is a complete pain to deal with, let us have a patch or two without her.
0 -
Well thats because swf is op. Spirit is an easily accessable Killer with a strong Power, which is also able to handle OP-Tier Swf Teams. Nurse is also able to provide that but she is incredible hard to play, while a Survivor doesn't need as much Skill and nerves to play as a Nurse. So Killers would rather pick a Spirit instead of a Nurse. It's as simple as that.
Now that Spirit is out of the way, only SupaAlf can stop Op Tier Swfs. Just a little Joke, but swfs (which are not average in Skill) are a big Problem imo. Tbh i would 100% agree with those nerfs if swf didnt exist.
But now i guess they need to nerf Spirit a little more. -10% Movement speed while phasing, an animation when she's phasing and her Ring Addon should be removed. It will fix every Problem for Survivors, so they will have a blast when playing against her :^) /sarcasm off

Spirit has never needed stridor to do good. I’ve never used it and consistently 3-4k
1 -
Shouldn’t it be that way though? I was under the impression Spirit is supposed to have a comparatively high skill cap.
Those that are committed to getting better with Spirit will persist, and those being carried by Stridor will move onto another killer.
0 -
Thank god for that
