Do you guys feel unsatisfied if you don't use M2 Power frequent enough?

I've been playing Wesker & Unknown for a while now, and I find myself actually not using their powers much in loops. I mostly just go for normal mindgames, as most loops are pretty playable.

Although I still win games, but I don't really feel that satisfied LOL. In some games I might only get 1-2 hits with power, because I just don't see good situations for it.

Do you guys feel the same like me?

    try to use your power more often at loops even if you lose the match. me as an example used only the chainsaw to improve my skill at curving as billy because i was only using m1 most the time.

    Well I’ve tried at first, but losing the game like this and get T-bag & shamed isn’t exactly a good experience either…

    Trust me friend, it sucks now but try not to take it to heart. They're just trying to get a reaction out of you. Those players usually aren't that great because tilting killers aren't great killers. Getting mad actively makes you play worse

    With the unknown look at what you can bounce your projectile off to close down loops & remember if can go through walls. A lot of times I'll use walls or trees behind the person to bounce it back. You can also bounce it round a corner when you're just about to lose sight of a survivor on high wall tiles. A lot of times people don't expect that and you can easily close down loops or force them off.

    Don't play wesker that much these days but I used to use his power a lot to gain distance between gens. Try and anticipate using it for vaults to get that extra pressure in chase. It's not really that useful for mind gaming loops just try and force them to throw pallet and break it straight away to force them towards another area where you can use your power to catch them in a dead zone. A brown add-on I used a lot was the one that switches the distance on your power. So you get the a more equalised distance between the 2 dash charges. A lot of people don't anticipate that and often get caught on the first dash because they're used to seeing a short first dash when they face other Weskers.

    I really hate killers (the characters not people) where I can't use their ability very much. It's just different skins basically, I want to have different gameplay between the killers xD

    I would probably say if you think you are in a situation where you won't be punished too hard if you go for an m2 over an m1, you should try to m2 to get the practice with the power in. Otherwise it is okay to just m1 swing, your power is meant to help you, not hinder you.

    All my killer skills I attribute to Legion. I used them before the rework on old Cornwind with old Dead Hard and Iron Will. I have no problems not using a power because I'm used to not having any lol

    I enjoy m1 chases, but I need a break once in a while and just want to use powers. As an m1 enthusiast, I've been absolutely impressed by the Unknown he feels so convenient to me as somebody who needs an m1 break.

    I will say though, Trickster being 115 has kinda killed this killer for me even as a console plebian.

    I would implode if I didn't m2 constantly.

    Depends on which killer I'm playing.

    If I going with Freddy, then I don't mind. But if I am playing Knight, then I try my best to make my guards useful.

    I feel ultimately strongest method to play majority of 4.6 killers are pretty much only using power when it results in hit

    I don't even think skill issue, most of time hitting survivor with power is just impossible

    If you don't use your killers power you aren't playing them right, simple as that. They have a power for a reason and generally gameplay is balanced (as best it can be) around them using their power.

    That being said, I will play Skull Merchant and not use any drones just because they are annoying and it can be a challenge being M1 only

    The way I see it sometimes a killer is better off m1(r2 for me as console) to get early pressure in, neme/trickster/plague for example to me gets punishment for using their power too early or too much specially vs looping survivors wastes way more time. Neme must hit survivors 3 times if they are not infected already, plague and trickster must hit survivor multiple times to get value out of their m2. I do confess though once trickster hit 115 speed(ty god) I do find I R2 alot more with him lol.

    It depends on the situation. Like with Billy I will chainsaw when the Survivors are healthy but then use his hammer when they’re injured.

    There are tradeoffs when using killer powers. But for me personally I like to use the powers as much as possible even if it means that I’m not maximizing my skill.

    I love Unknown but it's such a bummer when I barely took advantage of its power in the game, even if I manage to 4k. I end up getting less UVX plays and usually only down survivors with my M1. It's mainly because of how slow the cooldown is with the UVX. At least with Pyramid Head for instance I'm almost always getting hits with his power because he doesn't have the bar cooldown (though as an M2head gamer myself, it is annoying when you run out of trail juice it also prevents you from continuing to use his power).
