Finally got around to playing Skull Merchant on live servers, she sucks more then I thought
Skull Merchant is the worst killer in the entire game, she's not even "bad but fun" like Legion and Trickster are, she just sucks, she is the absolute worst a killer can be, boring and bad with zero redeeming qualities
Her drones, as I expected, do not do a ######### thing that resembles anything useful, want to wait for the exposed? Survivors just have to go around the ######### radius and it instantly becomes a complete joke, go for the hit? the drones become useless against them, they are useful for a grand total of one thing, and that is stalling out games, which she isn't even good at that, Every chase-oriented killer in the game is better then her at 3-genning just by virtue of having powers that kill people faster.
Her stealth is dogshit, what exactly is the point of having conditional undetectable on a killer who can be seen over every single non-indoor map loop in the game? she stands so upright that her head can be seen over pretty much every junk tile and loop on every outdoor map,
Her chases give me the exact same feeling as watching a flower slowly wither and die, she's just a m1 killer with nothing to shorten chases or even break pallets faster, Why would I want to play a killer with the most boring version of the only form of interaction both sides can have in this game possible?
Her tracking is worthless, A 115% with no effective forms of lethality but "good" tracking might as well be a killer with nothing, why does her holding a dinky remote slow her down? Why doesn't the blip reveal their aura or even give killer instinct? Tracking's not exactly useful if I cant' also tell what they're doing passively now is it?
If the only even passable thing about a killer is their admittedly nice addons, then what's even the point? Her mid-chapter buffs cannot come sooner, playing SM genuinely makes me angry, There is no dopamine kick to using her power, it's literally just one button press and congrats, you're playing Skull Merchant, there is zero interactivity, zero effective use in chase, zero mind-games against any survivor with half a braincell
Give this killer a full rework, the mid-chapter buffs are nice but she needs more, there's nothing wrong with niche killers, there is everything wrong with killers who's power is a single button press and basically nothing past that

I keep getting 4ks with her. Not sure what your issue is.

Sadako also had the highest kill rate and is one of the weakest killers in the game. Let’s stop basing everything off of whether you get 4k’s.

I found her fun to play (and I didn't expect that) but pop off sis
