Will the Spirit make a comeback after Iron Will becomes useless?

Let's face it, IW was the only reliable counter to her power, and after her nerf I saw Spirit probably like only 10 times, but now after the perk becomes super useless will she reclaim her title if the most hated killer again from Nurse?


Will Stridor Spirit be meta again?


Imagine using your exhaustion perk to escape only for her to find you in 10 seconds again since you are making noises and there's pretty much nothing you can do

    Completley agreed. it should of been one or the other. i wouldnt mind if the exhaustion one was true if IW stayed at 100

    I get the reasons behind it but it's a stupid reason. IW is basically the Survivor controlling thier breathing so the don't make as much noise when injured. So if they are are exhausted they can't control their breathing.....makes sense but stupid.

    The reduction might be a tad too much but we will have to wait and see. Personally 85-90 as a max would of been fine.

    Nope, still bad.

    She's at least going to be not completely blind/deaf all the time now with the IW change, but at the end of the day the survivors still know where she's at and when she's phasing at all times meaning completely loopable.

    She'll at least have a slightly more...consistent experience...that's worth something, at least.

    I'm happy for Rin. Dried Cherry Blossom will probably fall out of relevance now. Won't even need Stridor. The fact that there is no more Iron Will to worry about is more than enough. Time to run people down with sheer numbers addons.

    No. It is technicaly a nerf in some cases. Lets say you need to ASAP cleanse a Hex but you can't make it in time thanks to that stupid debuff.

    Wdym, comeback? Spirit never left. Her pickrate has not changed much since her so-called nerf.

    Really? I honestly see spirit once a month these days, and before I was constantly going against her

    It depends on whether or not the survivors have good headsets, or if they’re just using speakers without surround sound. As someone that used to play Spirit, I can tell you that Spirit’s directional audio is so loud and accurate, that as a survivor I can always tell exactly which direction she is phasing from, even if I’m on a generator. And the audio starts from so far away, that Spirit is better off trying to sneak up on people by walking to them.
