Prevent her drones from being edployed close* to te gennerators.

  • Close - Means that drone scan should not reach generator. It may reach surv that is working on a gen from a side drone is deployed, but only this one side. Not all sides, not even gen as it is.

    That's one of worst ideas I have seen so far...

    It would make her feel awful and basically useless.

    You want to drop drone during chase in shack? Too bad, gen is there.

    Midwitch? Basically nowhere allowed


    Band aid fix on level of kill switch. Basically same thing.

    That's a pretty bad idea. You're basically making her not have a power because if there's anywhere she could put a drone, it would be somewhere that didn't matter at all.

    Terrible idea; Depending on the map; you would not only limited the placement of her drones as being within close range on Generators, would make the power far less efficient. Plus, the drones are stationary and cannot be used in chase, as survivors can simply hold W and avoid being anywhere near the drones in the first place. It pretty much pointless the loop Skull Merchant when she deploys a drone in the loop and makes herself effective to chase this way. Some maps are so small with the gens being neighboring each other like say the game; you would effective make Skull merchant unplayable m1 killer this way.

    I said it before, ans I will Said it again; if you want to make Skull Merchant not a 3 gen killer no more; just Rework her power and make drones patrol the map, like Nemesis's zombies and chase Survivor that get detected and apply debuff over time. Keep her amazing tracking, get rid of her boring ability to deploy drones and have them spawn in the map regularly and apply debuffs and claw traps. Survivors can disarm them if they want to limited her coverage, but become oblivious and vulnerable to claw traps. Make the power identical to the her official trailer and make drone chase Survivor and not be pointless stationary beacons that can be park convenient next to Genators.

    Terrible Idea... There is no fixing Skull Merchant... her and Knight should just be scrapped and replaced with actual well thought out Killers.
