There will always be people that complain. It's nothing new.
Chucky is fine.

He killed me then flipped me off. :(

because we like to pick on the lil guy
no but seriously it doesn't feel like he fits the game due to his size which makes him be the hardest killer to blind and he can go full speed and hide behind a small rock
7 -
like why cant we punt him he is the size of victor

Weren't people getting tired of the same killer design after many years? I would think people would enjoy a killer that really turns the norm of killers being the same size or bigger than survivors and just says "nah im short" lol. Personally i have no complaints. Hes definitely unique and what we needed.

I feel like I've been seeing mostly praise for him, but there has been some complaints from survivors thinking he's too strong. I've only played against him a few matches and have been playing as him more. My initial thoughts is he seems balanced? But maybe that'll change idk, but people may just be a little put off with his bigger range of view than any other killer.
He is quite short so I can see it being difficult to try looping with him, maybe they could do something with that but yeah, otherwise I think he's good.

Because he's new, and people have to learn to play against him.
Also people are seeing him every game, which you'd think at this point wouldn't be surprising because it happens every time a new killer drops, but somehow people are shocked every time.
I'm sure he has issues that need to be addressed over the next few months, but those are the primary reasons people are complaining as of right now.

I'm not a massive fan of his power counterplay, which is to say very little.
Overall, I think he's ambitious and I'll support that.

Sometimes it's a few spam accounts, probably by the same person, to make it seem that more people are upset than actually do exist. Otherwise, it's people who are impatient and assume, because they cannot figure it out in a few trials, that the Killer is the issue and not them.
This has happened with nearly every Killer. The Singularity was dubbed as the biggest threat in the vein of Skull Merchant, but we saw soon enough this wasn't a thing.
Chucky is probably the most well-received Killer on release that we've had in some time. I've seen and heard far more positivity than negativity.

I don't hate Chucky, but Chucky players. Save for one, every player I've faced using Chucky has been camping and tunnelling, and his power has proven to be quite useful at it.

Many use Chucky perks only. Now is the best time to get that Adept 'cheevo unlocked.

Because chucky is a terrible killer to play against. Killer has check spots as "3rd person", dash power which it's dominating the game, he is too short which it's makes frustrating to keep an eye on him. Also you can't pallet loop him on most of the pallets. Whoever says he is fine, they're either lying or enjoying the abuse op stuff.
20 -
It happens everytime a new killer comes out because no one understands the power yet and how to counter it. I have only played one match against him and he seems fine.
7 -
People who play killer want something new.
People who don't play killer want Trapper with no traps.
25 -
This!! I’ve been playing him since yesterday and people are actually starting to learn how to play against him. Or I’ve been put in higher mmr, lol. I’ve had people escape against me and I’ve escaped against Chucky myself. He is pretty balanced imo.
3 -
Honestly all killers should be able to do that if they've been teabagged more than 6 times in a trial! 🤪
11 -
Survivors hate killers that can win.
11 -
Because he is played in 3rd person and trust me surv' do not like when you use their own toys.
9 -
He's a fun Killer. I think I'd be enjoying him a lot more if the Killers playing him right now weren't sweating / tunnelling and doing all the usual unnecessary Killer things that sap the joy from the game.
I have no idea how to loop him though, since it's so difficult to keep track of him or know exactly where he is. Not that I can loop any Killer well, but I think he's especially tricky.
I've not had the chance to play him for myself yet, even though I bought him on release day. I don't want to load into a game only to find Survivors instantly DCing or giving up the same way they did in my first Xeno games. That just feels bad. I might play against the bots for now and wait a week for a real game when the hype dies down a bit. Over familiarity breeds contempt and all that...
I will say I find it kinda funny that he's 2 foot tall and yet probably the only Killer that can see a damn thing in those frustrating Swamp maps.
0 -
Probably because he is unfun to play against
13 -
Chucky is fun as hell, I love him.
4 -
I haven't seen any hate. I've seen feedback, some negative but plenty constructive. I've noticed alot of people are kind of bored facing him every game, if that's what you mean? I don't use twitter though so I don't know what people are saying over there.
1 -
he fine hard at first but people get handle of it.
0 -
I actually really like him and think he's a great killer with a surprisingly fun design for this game! However, I will say that as a survivor I've experienced mostly hard tunneling while playing against him and maybe this is where alot of the negatives come from.
3 -
The reason is that at the time of the PTB, it was known to be flawed for not possessing enough mobility and chase ability for a 4.4/m killer, but for some reason it was nerfed overall except for a few items at the time of this implementation.
1 -
yeah tbh. Most of them have played like that at 5 gens + pain res & pop and it just makes for an exhausting experience after a few games. Granted, people play like this anyway but this has felt more common with this killer
looping has not been fun considering he can mind game even the smallest objects; dodging his charge feels like I get more success when they're on console
I used lithe in a match yesterday and he closed the distance immediately and got the down; feels like as a survivor you have to play perfect whereas he can make mistakes and just power through

Really? He has quite a bit of counterplay if you ask me.
0 -
Not really.
Pretty much every loop is unsafe against him and with the ability to flick, he's not able to be juked easily.
So the counterplay is to hold W and M1.
14 -
I've played against a few that weren't actively playing like wads and they were much easier to deal with once you get the hang of dodging his charge and knowing when to leave a loop you can't see him over since they seem to double back a lot. I will say this might be the worst tunneling new killer I've experienced in a while. Wesker was about the same but he also is a much stronger killer overall imo so it's not necessary to be so sweaty with him. Not that Chucky is a weak killer or anything but the players have really been showcasing why this game is beyond frustrating to play a lot of the time.

I haven't seen that but I also mostly stay of social media because they're cesspools.
Personally I'm very neutral towards them, not my type of killer but the counter play is there (it feels very similar to blight or wesker tbh which yeah explains why I'm not fond of them) and they're very fitting as the holiday chapter. But considering I've loved every killer they released from Knight to Xeno who were all mostly unpopular I'll let the people who love movement killers have Chucky it's fine.

Shall I introduce you to Ghost Face?😏

Definitely disagree with that. Depending on the loop, you can definitely dodge his dash if played correctly. Often you simply have to predict where he will be coming from, you can't just react to him. Which is what makes these interactions fair for both sides. If you could just react to his dash and dodge it, it would be bad.
Also, if you are at a filler pallet loop, and he uses his dash, it's pretty much a 50/50 mindgame. As a survivor, you have to try and predict from which side he will dash, and if you predict correctly, you mostly get a stun against him. This often works at windows too.
The only exception I guess is his 180 degree flick potential, which can make certain situations undodgeable that should have been dodgeable. Surely not every situation, but some, and that should be fixed.

He can Dash under pallets multiple times, so it doesn't really matter if you drop it
He forces you to play EVERY pallet for a stun

I normally hate playing killer but I've been enjoying Chucky a lot
1 -
i wasnt getting bored i mean we have really tall killers and shorter killers and no killer has the same design
0 -
Chucky is a very welcome addition to the DBD. Imo he fits perfectly.
Survivor players don't really like his power tho. Once you understand how it works, you will know why.
But if you put "other side fun" aside, Chucky is one of the most fun killers in DBD.

Because small boy strong.

In my experience Scamper wasn't a problem anymore. However, if it is still too quick, then they should nerf Scamper one more time for sure. I was more thinking of his Slice and Dice ability, which allows for a good amount of counterplay.
0 -
I don't hate him.
I get injured, downed, and hooked within 40s of being found, and I go to the next match. Nothing to hate.
Sometimes I manage to get 3/4 of a gen done first if they don't have Lethal Pursuer. I had to unequip Distortion because I wans't taking my fair share of chases. The way I see it, the sooner I get to death-hook, the sooner I can get back to hiding from the killer the whole match without any blame from my teammates for doing so. 🤷♂️
Fantastic game.

"So the counterplay is to hold W and M1."
Again?
Last I checked, that was the one thing everyone was tired of.
2 -
That's why I said I didn't enjoy it.
3 -
It's the Scamper + Slice and Dice for me personally.
They are both versatile on their own but together they are difficult to deal with effectively.
1 -
You mean that he has both at once, not the scamper while using slice and dice right? Because the latter is almost always useless if you ask me, but him being able to scamper and then use Slice and Dice after that can be very strong. They should probably nerf Scamper to a duration of 1.6 or 1.8 seconds.
0 -
This. sO much this
0 -
Do you mean like pretty much like any killer hmmm 🤔 like even the trapper who can camp you, tunnel just with a basic M1 ?
0 -
He is slow killer who has to capitalize around stealth which often leads clueless survivors to frustration. Some people simply don't want to look around and wish every killer was visible from miles away. Without stealth he has little to offer and can be looped just like any M1 killer as long as survivor knows how to extend a chase and doesn't pre-drop a pallet without a need.
1 -
I think a lot of it just has to do with the fact he is a new killer and virtually every lobby has Chucky as the killer. No matter who the killer is, it gets old doing the same thing every match.
0 -
Because it's yet another killer where the counterplay is "Just hope the player is bad lol".
You literally have to play comp strats of holding shift w into the opposite corner of the gens being worked on.
And in SoloQ people just don't pressure gens nearly enough to make it count.
The end result is an incredibly boring and unfun experience. The most exciting thing in DBD is chase. If you turn that into "will I die before or after vaulting this pallet?" people will be less inclined to play. How shocking.

The laziest way to play him is still the best way. Scamper without dashing just needs to be nerfed again and he'll be fine.
