Sooo... lets talk bout Slinger..
So.. As a Former Ex Slinger main, this nerf was....Overkill, ngl to ya,
Like, i get why he needed a nerf.. but this was 100% the Wrong way to hurt him, the ONE major changed he needed was Giving him a Lullaby of 40 meters like Huntress,, while having his terror radius to 20.. same thing shoulda been with Trickster too!
I dunno. maybe i'm just crazy and a Delusional Killer Main, What do you guys think?

I agree with this. The nerf gutted him.

Giving him a 40 meter lullaby still would have been way too much of a nerf to him. Huntress has such a big lullaby because she can damage survivors far outside her TR. Deathslinger can't do that - he has the most limited range of all the ranged killers. It's part of why that stealth was so vital to his kit - his shots are limited in a way the others are not. Give him a 24m lullaby if you have to so he can't use M&A anymore, but the 32m TR is really bad for him and a 40m lullaby would be even worse.

I don’t know how good or bad he is exactly but I don’t enjoy using his rifle, the turning speed just feels super slow.

No, there's nothing to "get" about why he needed a nerf. His counterplay was clear and easy. Break los and/or have tricky movement. The situations people were complaining about with him were ones that they put themselves in, and still do i.e giving him a free option select at a window. So this was all balanced around casuals who don't even benefit from it because they're just that inept in game knowledge, and the top players who could easily beat Deathslinger now beat him even more easily. This is how you kill the game at high level.

He didn't need a nerf he never did. He was an average/slightly above average killer at best, he needed a buff in all honesty. You can argue all day he was "unfun" to vs, Fun is a perspective and it differs between everyone, what he didn't need was a nerf. Change him sure, but they didn't they just beat him with the nerf bat. Powershift =/= Nerf.

well i typed it out abit without discussing a buff to compensate the lullaby 40 meters,
His Gun could be buffed up to maybe.. 24 meters, change iri coin to 18 meters, increase the chain duration abit to compensate the length..
but could be discussed further, don't wanna overbuff the boi

He never needed a nerf. i agree.. but people will complain cause...they don't wanna outplay a killer and instead just do basic looping,

"I get why he needed a nerf." That is what I was talking about from your post, perhaps it was a poor choice of words on your part but yeah I disagree with it entirely. All killers should be at least A tier, everything else is to weak or needs some QOL changes.

it was poor choice of words. But i'm trying to stay neutral which is Why i said that..
...Otherwise if i said differently, People would call me out for not caring about survivor's Fun. in which case, It's to bully Killers,

I struggle with him now. Tricky movement is impossible with the sluggish ADS. Taking away the instant shot was the damage. I can deal with the larger terror radius and slow putting down the weapon. Having to wait to shoot is the reason I won’t play him.

He didn't need a nerf. He needed QoL changes.
Instead he was hit with multiple huge nerfs and got a small negligible buff to compensate. One of the worst killers in the game and they ######### smashed him into the ground.
He doesn't need a lullaby. Being a stealth ranged killer was one of the best to play as and against about him.
The easiest fix to one of the biggest complaints about him(spamming ads to zone survs) could be fixed by adding a cooldown between lowering and raising the gun. This would force Slingers to go for quickscopes or try to pre-ads instead of just spamming it.
No reason to ######### up the quickscope. That's a skill that should be rewarded for people who are good at it.

No reason to [BAD WORD] up the quickscope. That's a skill that should be rewarded for people who are good at it.
Behavior says otherwise. to a otherwise A tier killer that competed against huntress lol

No. I feel the same.
I do think he needed a nerf and he was painfully unfun to play against. But now, they flipped it. He's painfully unfun to play as and everything about him is so slow.
As weird as it sounds, I feel like they gave him too much counter play.
32 meter terror radius to hightail away from a 110% movespeed killer, an actual windup so survivors can prepare to dodge a tiny harpoon hitbox that only extends 18 meters.
idk. I still think their first mistake was giving a killer a gun, but I think they should pull the plug and send Caleb to that eternal shore because this ain't livin'.

Why they nerfed slinger for having “no counterplay” but are fine with nurse is beyond me. Both take around the same amount of skill to play well
