Omg thank you so much BHVR!!!
Thank you so much for not ruining Artist! The two nerfs you have to her were good and healthy changes that weren’t BS unnecessary changes. She will be a great killer and I’m glad to call her one of my mains!

We will see.
I have an...inkling (bdum tish) that the worst it yet to come.

I can feel the relief coming from your words.
But be careful, my friend. Do not celebrate just yet.
At least wait 1 week.

Let’s hope that won’t happen.
1 -
The nerfs are really goodboykaru
edit: my ######### autocorrect I meant to say good
4 -
I won’t get my hopes up high but I’m optimistic about these changes from PTB.
0 -
Umm what? I’m so confused.
1 -
My autocorrect changed good to goodboykaru for some reason.
1 -
Well...I would wait 1 week, my friend.
If nothing gets changed after 1 week, then you can actually celebrate :)
2 -
That’s good. Hopefully she isn’t deemed a wee bit OP. No killer is ever safe 🤫😬
3 -
A wee bit op so we removed his bell.
1 -
They nerfed pinhead... A killer people were asking to be buffed but the rank 50/1900 survivors got destroyed so they nerfed him.
What makes you think that this killer has any chance to survive bhvrs "FUN" (for survivor) over balanced philosophy?
3 -
I am worried about that.
2 -
Finally, someone to truly replace deathslinger for me. I'll have my fun while it lasts.

Tbh the changes made to the game have seen to be on the better side lately.

The birds get chainsaws?

I was trying to figure out if goodboykaru was a slang insult or compliment.
As in, "Hey, your dog has done a great big JawsIsTheNextKiller on my floor!"

"You are such a GeneralV!"

I honestly doubt that these are the only nerfs she will see. The thing is, killers need to be fun to go against as well, and I have a strong feeling that won't be the case for a lot of people. We'll have to wait and see though, maybe people will figure out some more counterplay against her, that is tied to being able to remove crows fast enough, but from the experience on ptb, she had and will still have very little counterplay in chases. I hope I am wrong but I am not optimistic.
I'd be more optimistic if survivors could just destroy idle crows and not get swarmed nor damaged when running into them. But these nerfs honestly look like BHVR is starting to get afraid of people not wanting to play killer anymore. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but the fun factor for survivors of course also needs to be considered.
I think the big problem with her will be the fact that she has no delay whatsoever when sending her crows flying, meaning she can make sure to get guaranteed hits against survivors with her crows all the time, and the fact that her animation when firing her crows is too short and doesn't slow her down enough, so even if you dodge her crows, it won't do anything in probably more than half the cases. If BHVR adds a small, maybe 0,3 or 0,4 second delay, and increases the cooldown duration and slowdown effect when firing her crows, she'll be good to go in my opinion.
This won't be a matter of having a strong killer or not. Or whether she will be op or not, because I don't think she will be op. But it's not the most fun to go against a killer against whom you can't really do anything to affect chases. That was the big problem with Old Legion as well for example. Again, too early to tell, people should at least make an attempt to learn how to go against her. And I am sure she won't be as bad as Legion, surely there will be some things you can do to prelong chases. But I fear she will be too oppressive in chases.
They can theoretically always buff her in different ways, helping her with more map pressure for example, if they nerf her chase potential.

Pinheads game design of chains interrupting while trying to solve was unfun as a killer main it was a problem being strong in one thing doesn’t excuse bad game design image if you had to solve a Rubics cube you have to do it without moving if you move the cube I instantly resets, while you do that I’m throwing ######### at you it would drive you ######### nuts that was basically trying to solve the box in a nutshell
1 -
Did you read pinheads nerf or just gloss over everything but the box change?
2 -
god damnit you ######### jinx3d it
1 -
Yes they nerfed those addons it was bad. But the Engineers fang is still strong as #########. They kind of buffed the tourture pillar a little. Yes the solve time addons were nerfed but atleast they didn’t nerf hoarder and franklins again. Like I said before just because it was strong doesn’t excuse bad game design not only with the box chains interrupting but with increased solve time with the chains keep interrupting was unfun. I might sound biased but I’m not I played as cenobite he was pretty much my main and I admit the chains interrupting the box while trying to solve was annoying

For a minute I thought you were leaving Spirit behind, then I realised you said "one of your mains" not your main.
Glad you're enjoying playing as her.
4 -
Hah hilarious that someone is already celebrating, I give it a month before I start my "I got a new main" party. It's gonna get nerfed into the ground and you know it. They always have. Why would it be different this time?
4 -
Your name is perfect for this.
2 -
Me hiding in the shadows to ######### on anything Gann remotely enjoys
3 -
Well they didn’t nerf Nurse, Spirit, or Blight to the ground so maybe there’s hope.
0 -
What other killers have been nerfed to the ground after their release in the past, especially more recent past?
0 -
I'm so happy for you and everyone else that's gonna main Artist. Y'all got a big break!! 💛
0 -
You know what, let the op have their fun.
0 -
More recent past I don't know.
But, if my precious Freddy Krueger taught us one thing, is that 1 week is all it takes.

Don’t worry, Spirit will always remain at the top, I’ll just have another new killer to enjoy. Artist was so much fun on the PTB. Probably going to make Artist number 2 behind Spirit.

Well for now.
0 -
just pretend like they're not gonna change her, I know that won't work but that's all you can at this point. Play the hell out of her while you can.

Bruh Spirit and Artist have feelings :(
0 -
I definitely will.

Happy days.
Now all they need to do is add Carmina's image as a possible profile icon on the forums here and we're set.

Trueeee. That’s the only reason my avatar is SFTS.

Guys can we stop this mentality that she’s going to get nerfed just for fun name one killer since Pyramid head that was gutted on release I’ll wait
0 -
I'll have to play against her to see how she feels, but I like the changes.
0 -
Most recent? very very most recent? slinger comes to mind ^^ He didn't need a nerf at all. People just did not like going up against him.
1 -
They will wait everybody spend money and time to learn her and to be attached with her, so gutting is gonna come. It's Bhvr way to spoil players experience.
0 -
Since she was just released in a good state, I think people are more worried she'll be gutted sometime soon after the release, especially if she performs well. This is especially scary if the nerfs hit the players ability to enjoy her.
If you use that criteria, the list of killers who recently experienced this treatment is:
- Spirit
- Deathslinger
- Twins
- Freddy
- Pinhead
2 -
Spirit is still S tier.
0 -
we really shouldn't think about this right now though. The chapter just came out today so I say just let everyone play and enjoy her while she is.
0 -
I'll take your word for that, I don't play her myself.
All I know is I heard complaints about her, and I literally haven't seen her in a game since except the day after the nerfs. So I did just assume that one a bit.

Pyramid was gutted on release?? The #########?!

They were nerfed a bit, but not gutted.
