I haven’t seen a single Deathslinger since the nerf
Does anyone even play him anymore since they gutted him?
I literally haven’t played a game against him since his nerf, which is sad because I used to love playing him as well but it just doesn’t seem worth it anymore. There’s now pretty much zero reason to pick him over Huntress, unless you’re say running basic attack perks like NOED or Devour Hope
do you think it’s maybe time to revert some of the nerfs?

You’re not alone, i’ve only seen him maybe 3 times.

I've mained him when he came out, but playing him now feels really bad. I would maybe play him more if I had STBFL, but considering how outdated the bloodwebs are I dont feel like spending a few million bp just for that

I know how you feel, I must have spent about 2 million BP just to get Monitor & Abuse for him, which now seems irrelevant since they increased his terror radius…

Yeah I wish they gave him a lullaby like all the other ranged killers instead them trying to keep the "stealth killer with a gun" gimmick.

i played slinger and got a 2k without sound.
clearlt to OP and needs a nerf

He pretty much became like Billy. He got badly nerfed and now he's very rare to see.

I still play my good ol' Deathslinger... despite the nerfs I don't have the heart to let it go (and my brain is like super wired to play as him), but with this and the state of MMR that insist in giving death squads I only play Killer once in a blue moon because it's such a painful and nefarious experience to play as him...

they really need to look at the high level of play no offence to the casual community but ye need to learn how to go against the killers these nerfs they are implementing are affecting high level of play.

I've seen him a few times. Bout the same as pre-nerf.
0 -
I haven't seen him yet either. It's sad. I found him annoying but I didn't want him useless
0 -
Yeah and I understand why. I gave him a go today and it felt like I was playing The Grandpa

Seen him once since the nerf. Thanks to the larger tr he never even secured a down cause we never let him get in range.
2 -
Never seen him since nerf. It was hard to see him before the nerf.
2 -
Same... I haven't seen much Deathslinger even before the nerf... And I did play as him once or twice after the nerf
This was too big of a nerf
0 -
I ve seen him 2 maybe 3 times and I think he got total of 1 kill in all 3 games.

I played him recently to get the trophies. He is still good in chases but he takes more skill now. Im playing on PS4 and I had fun playing him.
My mindset when playing killer is different though. I just play for fun and not to win.

I've seen him a few times but he's definitely a lot more rare now.
Most of the ones I've seen have performed poorly/didn't get more than 1 kill.
I played against one the other day with a teammate who ragequit at 3 gens and the other 3 of us still all escaped. Lol.

Funny thing is survivor mains always say "oh the nerf was totally needed", only to see the killer being rarely played. That happens every single time a nerf happens.

Like huntress, if you keep missing too many shots, you will lose the game. You don't have any good map pressure. Yes, you can shoot through windows, but i would rather go for Nemesis. At least he has a bit more map information from the zombies and he can hit survivors easier.

I have gone against 3 yesterday in a row, exactly when I started the "Stun/Blind Killers X times" Challenge from the most Recent Tome.
Since the Nerf, I went against 10 in total I think (including those 3 yesterday). This is not really a change to before.

TBH death slinger was completely killed for me once they made the ADS change. It didnt even solve the most complained about problem which is reactibility but instead removed the creative part of his power. Now you have to pre aim and shoot for a survivor that couldn't even run there.
0 -
Yeah exactly, survivors who say things like “he just takes more skill now” clearly never played him. By removing his ability to quick scope and make snap decision flick shots they actually lowered his skill ceiling

Deathslinger wasn't nerfed.
Deathslinger was taken out back, shot in the skull, and his corpse was left to rot in the woods.
3 -
Even Spirit is very rare to see these days, no wonder why the rate of encountering Deathslinger is much lower than ever.
