Artist is a pain in the ass to face, way too strong for how easy she is.

    What do you expect? She is a zoning killer with cross snipe potential. Holding w destroys her, so unless you're against a god tier artist you're not going to struggle all that much

    While I will say artist is good I don't think she needs any changes, but I do find it hilarious so many people who cry themselves to death about survivors on the forum have the nerve to come out and be rude to you, maybe they should take their own advice next time they want to cry about survivors because they sound the same if not worse majority of the time.

    i made this post after many artist games so you guessed wrong but its Ok because i dont come here after i lost a game as most killer main does with SWF after losing a game claiming they are OP, this post was just a fact with an actual argument instead of a straw man fallacy likes yours.

    She's quite difficult to get good results despite being one of the strongest killers in the game

    making artist hit like nemesis with first crow infecting and the second injure in every scenario would increase the skill ceiling instead of just dumbly place a crow and since there is no structure to go trough it just hits like a truck and free injure or free m1 because u had to leave the structure it puts you in a simlar scenario to piramid head it justs you choosing how you want to get hit a m1 or m2?... you choose with one difference piramid head can be baited and juked against his m2 you cant juke a crow they go in straight line and she can place multiple at the same time not even considering they fly instantly after placed and last for quite a long time with piramid there is an animation and the trail is kinda small so with erratic movement can be juked or reaction in time to evade something you dont really have agaisnt artist you can choose to leave only when she is placing just to get smacked because she only needs to zone you with them and making you go the way she wants for the free m1, thats why i think she only should be able to infect with crows not injure instantly because its cheesy and unfair the way it is and most likely vaulting windows shouldnt reset the crows.

    I main Artist and I'll help you out. Spread out, especially on levels with different floors/2 story buildings. If I shoot all three crows, the cool down is too long for me to do damage with them. I can only chase one person down. This means I typically shoot one crow at a time so I can snipe. If you zig zag unpredictably while getting rid of the swarm it's hard to get that second hit. That way when I do chase you down you have full health. Then chain your loops. Sticking to the same one won't work. Trying to mind game a pallet will get you hit. If you're unpredictable enough I'll waste a lot of time placing or shooting useless crows.

    Holding W doesn't work either, lol. Running straight will get you sniped no matter how far you get or what's between us. There's nothing I love more than hitting someone across the map and watching them run straight while dispersing the swarm and people do it all the time.

    She's definitely not OP, although I can see how she's not fun to play against. She can be really oppressive.
