Can we all agree that Deathslinger's nerf was too much, right?

    He's not that bad right now. Just have to be able to ADS and aim rather than rely on quickscoping. That being said, the TR change is really dumb considering his movement speed. 24m TR at most for a 110 ranged killer with limited range.

    Devs really just killed all the fun reasons to play DeathSlinger now with the nerfs. It just why should we ever play him again when Huntress, Trickster and now Artist does a much better and feels better than a broken cowboy. Even the hybrid range killers like Demo, Plague, Nemesis and Pyramid Head feel much better to play as.

    IMO the nerfs that could've been better while retaining his fun was a cooldown from ADS to do a basic M1 so can't quick scope spam and a lullaby similar to what the Trickster has so he can't cheese invisible shots when using M&A.

    The very few cowboys that I've seen were all just terrible and couldn't land any shots unless the idiot survivor was running in a straight line making it a very easy shot for cowboy they mostly got their hits from just a M1 by just walking up to em. Don't get me started on the indoor maps either, by the time you get your ADS up and ready to fire the survivor already running across a corner since there's so much LoS blockage.

    Overall it just feels terrible now to play cowboy there is absolutely no reason to play him anymore when other range killers are better in every way.

    The only "buff" he received in compensation for the nerfs was the increased movement speed while aiming which is absurd, nobody move while aiming with Deathslinger, that was just a placebo buff, he is not the huntress.

    They at least should have kept his terror radius which was nerfed for absolutely no reason really, the reduced aiming speed was enough nerf.
