Is she fun to verse? balanced? fun to play as? tell me your opinion about her 🙂
(i find her fun to play against in some maps like the game)

The Game is a terrible map for her, as obviously her ranged attack is useless if you are on a different level. While she can zone you well there are so many LOS blockers you're forced into a prediction game. So for survivor this map (Meat Plant) is easy mode against Artist and she is one killer who really struggles on this map.
I think she is fun if a bit clunky to play and I enjoy playing her quite a lot but she is very unfun to play against and promotes a tedious pre-drop and run style from survivors. Getting zoned where you have no options does not feel good when playing survivor, it removes 90% of the fun mind games in my opinion. It's the same reason Knight is incredibly unfun to verse too
Artist is a strong killer when played right but will probably eat ######### when versing truly skilled survivors (as do most killers).

Not my favorite but at least she is balanced. Her gameplay is not my taste either.

Sniper artist is fun. Artists who leave crows at every pallet and vault is a whole different story though

Really annoying having to play her on multi level maps.
Overall a very strong killer.
However, being able to remove birds by jumping in a locker is bad design and ruins her chances of being fun to play for me. The only fun part of Artist is cross map sniping. Lockers removing birds negates this entirely. The skill should be between both sides aiming and dodging. So what else does that leave for her? The completely mindless placing birds at loops for either a free hit or you get held w'd. Both boring scenarios. Nerf her anti loop a bit and buff her cross map sniping which is what actually makes her fun to people. Her viable but boring anti loop is why she's rarely played.
Also, Festering Carrion needs to be base kit. It's a forced auto lock if you want to have fun cross map sniping.
She has a lot of bad and boring addons for that matter. I could go into all these one at a time but that's a lot for here.
Playing against her is also boring for the same reason. Snipes generally not viable if me and my team are good and playing against her at loops is completely boring as the entire scenario plays itself out the same every time. To me it lacks the skill expression that cross map snipes do.
She's one of those very rarely played killers that is unfortunately very close to being a fun and popular killer like Huntress but is only missing a few key changes to get her there. Improve snipes, nerf anti loop.

Kinda underrated, she's a top 5 killer and can get downs from anywhere on the map provided you're good enough with a skill ceiling rivaling nurse.
One of my favorite killers in the game to be sure.

One of the worst and most annoying killers to go against, for sure.

I stopped playing her after a few matches because of how clunky placing the crows could be. As a survivor I have no opinion on her because she is so rare that she isn't worth thinking about.

Can’t stand her. I’d rather be hooked while I gaze three inches away into Bubbas beautiful eyes for a whole match rather than see poopy bird lady.

@fussy You getting your wish

She has unique strengths, is tactical, and is a unique and good killer. Although she has weaknesses, her charm lies in the fact that she is not perfect.

Easily one of the most boring killers to play

She's one of my favourite killers to face. Might be because I don't see her much though.

I like to play as the red ink birb lady.
I like sniping.
I like her design.
I am an Artist main, so...
Also, Hawkins is her probably worst map.

The crows placement on elevations is very annoying.

I appreciate that, but I don't have much to say. Of course, I can write a long text about how much and why I love her, but I don't have much experience against her, because I've met 2 good Bird Ladys in last year (and 4-5 overall). It is extremely small amount to have strong opinion.

She is the classic example of "W game". I don't understand how killers hate "W game" survivors but find it fun to play her.
for me she is a "solid" killer... not the strongest but not the weakest either. Who knows how to use it well, it's really scary.

She has one of the lowest pickrates in the game so it's safe to say not a lot of people actually find her fun to play.

The squawking noises she makes make me....thirsty? Like, I legitimately feel the need to drink a glass of water.
I know some people hate Plague because of emetophobia, but for me I enjoy the puking sounds. Bird noises though are annoying

Love her design, even though i don't like playing her too much. I feel she's too clunky, but hitting birds across the map or behind a wall is very satisfying.
