Deathslinger hitbox is too tiny and too easy to dodge even at point blank range
in the higher ranks, survivors discovered you can avoid deathslingers spear simply by doing a 360 spin, this makes deathslinger too punishing to play with out tin oil can, even if you properly aim your shot. heres a video example

it is intended because he used to have instant ADS. the survivor should always be able to dodge if they predict shot. the issue is that predicting shot is too easy due to ADS being too long.
Cherll didn't predict shot but feng did. that is difference between good looping vs deathslinger and not.

Slingers hitbox needs to be bigger it’s ridiculous that it’s not. There is also zero reason for him to still be 110. Even after the buffs he is still mediocre and needs help. But that will probably never happen.

When you call a killer too weak, provide footage of playing AGAINST him, not AS him. It's easy to call for buffs for your favorite killer, but it's one-sided and not constructive.

but i was aiming dead on? what more could i show? with survivor pov they could think i overshot or missed, but i aimed dead on.

I would agree that his hitbox feels mega wonky at close to mid range. The amount of times I'm left scratching my head wondering how the hell that missed is a lot. Often I see it actually go through survivors model right in front of me.
Most of my success with Slinger is max range shots when a survivor thinks they're safe or trick shots around terrain they don't expect.

its crazy that its easier to dodge a deathslinger shot closer than farther away, but its definitely a speed issue, 40 m/s is too slow, maybe 55 m/s like trickster or speed addons

I completely agree that his hitbox should be bigger. I really don't like playing him because the shots are so unforgiving, i feel like there's no room at all to be ambitious with his power, which isn't fun. This is with me using oil can and warden keys.
Don't really understand why huntress hitboxes are the size of beach balls and deathslinger's is the size of a needle and he isn't even guranteed a down.0 -
Shoot where they're going to be. not where they are. It is called leading the shot. the problem is figuring when to lead shot and when not to lead the shot. there is no shot that survivor cannot predict currently because length of ADS. the result is that slinger shot is like 1/5 chance to hit survivor. His gun is survivor favoured when it used to be balanced/slightly killer favoured. it was easier to just say he had no counter-play.

As a slinger main I have to actually say hell naw. One of his stronger aspects IS having a small hitbox, if you can see a survivor at a loop even if its through a tiny gap you can shoot them. It is literally and advantage to have a such a small hitbox because it creates a lot of scenarios where fancy and good shots happen.
Examples of things you cannot do if the hitbox would be bigger: gideons cage shots, log gap shots in autoheaven, cart shots in coldwind, etc.
You would make his easier for begginer players but destroy his high skill ceiling and potential.

I think I can call trapper or onryo weak when playing them as you will notice only very inexperience players will be beat by those.
I personally as a slinger main consider he is not a good killer but since pub players are just oblivious irl he can get crazy results.
I think he is fine where he is atm, since you will not face good players that show his flaws almost never.

I would like to simply make him 115%, that's it.
My only issue when playing him is when I get into hold W marathon.

The average pub player will manage to bet sniped when they hold w, I personally havent felt this except when I play against people who are actually good and avoid shots.
The 115 change honestly I feel indifferent to, like im fine if its done and fine if it isnt.

I think you're mixing up "biased" and "constructive".
People who main a certain killer shouldn't have their feedback immediately discounted when talking about said killer. In fact, they can provide great insights as to what might need changing.
(besides there's like barely any people playing Slinger atm because of the many issues he has)
