Can we please un nerf the deathslinger or at least give him some buffs to compensate

I would safely argue that most of the community agrees that the nerfs where to harsh

I don't even mind keeping the slow aim as long as he get his small tr radius back

Dev team please look into this everywhere you look, reddit, Facebook,streams, the forums everyone agrees it was too much

    The normal TR really kills him. He's a 110 with no mobility and a range-limited projectile. Huntress has a huge lullaby because she can damage you from a really long distance. So can Trickster, although he's worse at it. Deathslinger can't do that and the element of stealth was a necessary design balance for the downsides he has over other similar killers - very limited shots, precise hitboxes, more slowdown to shoot. Right now there is zero reason to play him over Huntress. There just isn't.

    Give him a 24m lullaby if M&A was that much of a problem, but please get rid of the normal TR.

    I agree even if they slightly un nerfed it and made it 28 but have m&a still work I would love that

    The whole point of the small tr was so survivors wouldn't start pre running before you got anywhere near close enough because he can only shoot 18meters

    Nowadays by the time you get there they are halfway across the map and safely to a loop they can crouch behind

    I have to always run m&a and stbfl on him to compete against decent teams and that just sucks to be forced to run 2 perks cause it means I really only have 2 slots
