The Skull Merchant is insufferable
As the title states, playing against this killer is beyond boring. It ruins the game. Every game against Skull Merchant is an extended slog where the killer holds a 3 gen and does nothing else. They place drones on the gens and patrol endlessly until survivors give up trying to win after 20 minutes or so.
It genuinely makes me not want to play survivor, period. I don't want to get trapped in one of these games and choose between sitting through it or eating a d/c penalty. This isn't fun at all. My friends and I lasted two whole games tonight before we logged off. Normally we play for a couple hours.
Players warned about this on the PTB with this killer. I think you guys have to utilize Fog Whisperers or something earlier in the development process to get a better feel on how killers will play before you put them to PTB and find out they need an immediate rework. Or try to anticipate player behavior a bit more when it comes to killer powers. This was blatantly obvious the second the PTB footage dropped.

I had one literally find the best three gen and patrol it the entire game... I thought the killer was just afk but nope. They never committed to chases and when they did my teammates had no pallets to work with so it was a nightmare of a game. You would disable the drone just so the Skull Merchant could return and instantly place a new one. She really is insufferable.

Yes, it must be disabled, since the choice of a knight or a merchant is a 100% victory. From the very beginning, they can choose 3 generators and patrol them. And I assure you that you will never fix them even if you take the repair speed perks along with the toolboxes and the new part addon. I think this should be fixed because this is the worst bug in the game as it takes hours of your life in a hopeless game that is already solved from the start and the decision of this game - choose a knight and a merchant = you win

Its crazy because Wesker, Dredge, and Onryo are gerat-- but now they're pushing this 3-Gen, Dead-Zone meta and even the notable DBD streamers on youtube are completely bored of her because she is miserable to play, AND to play against.
All of this because DBD is, at this point, an unhealthy game.
