So weeks later, is Vecna worth to buy?
I’m still on the fence whether buying him or not.. Is he good or fun to play after the nerfs?

imo he’s still good and lots of fun

Wait for another month or two and if they will leave him as he is, then yeah, he worth it.

Yeah he's still very good.

Give it a month before devs nerf him again

I'm so worried about this, my vecna has like 500 cobblers on him

Honestly no, he wasn't that strong from the start, for some reason he got nerfed too
Probably wouldn't really worth your time or effort

Play him now and alot before his continuous nerfings

I only bought him to counter pallet rescues. Even with his addon to increase the duration of Mage Hand holding up the pallet while I pick up, survivors can still rescue. I have to equip Fire Up for faster pick up speed too. Haven't had a chance to see if that's enough to finally counter it as I've been playing a lot of survivor lately.
I did not buy Vecna for his other powers or his perks, so I regret the purchase. My experience and reasoning is unique, so my regret is less meaningful.

As he is now, he’s a pubstomper.

If your issue is pallet saves maybe you can try blood favour or infectious fright? Favour holds the pallet for 16 seconds which is more than enough time!

I have tried Blood Favor. It only works for the first down (IF they went down under a pallet). It's cleansed before I get my second down. Are survivors who scream from Infectious Fright briefly unable to interact with pallets? If not, then it won't help.
If they buff his Trickster's Glove addon from 0.5 to 1 second, or add a yellow version of this addon that has a 1 second duration then that should be enough. Maybe then, it would be worth me playing Vecna. Otherwise I need Fire Up's perk slot for Franklin's Demise to counter the new take-a-hit-and-sabo-in-the-killer's-face sabo buff, and I can play any killer for that.

Yeah he's pretty good.
Important things to know in my opinion :
- Fly is best used to fly over a vault in a chase. It doesn't give much distance for otherwise just catching up
- Mage Hand is best used when you are close to a survivor in a pallet loop. If you use it too far it wont work
- Dispel Sphere is actually good after the bugfixes you can use it in a chase to disable items
- Flight of the damned is only really good for spawning skeletons on top of survivors. It's pretty bad otherwise.
He also has 3 good perks. Weave attunement is pretty strong with franklins. Dark Arrogance is good vault speed. Languid Touch is good anti exhaustion and may become very useful when iron will gets buffed.0 -
Which doesnt mean much taking into account pub warriors will lose even against trapper, freddy or sadako, so not really an indicative of how vecna is as a killer.

mmmm yes, definitely not in the best ones but still very strong killer

His nerfs are out already? I didn't even notice

it was 1 second on ptb, they nerfed it to 0.5
As for fire up - you can pick up survivor and get out with this addon and 5 stacks of fire up… only if the downed survivor will be at the edge of the pallet0 -
I like playing him. I mean, I almost never use his flying ability or his palette ability - frankly they feel useless - but his other two abilities are fun to use. His skellies almost never hit anyone, since they are pretty easy to dodge, but it does slow the survivor down when they have to duck, and the orb tends to clear a gen the moment it reveals the survivors.
And I do like his one perk that reveals people next to a dropped item. It's pretty potent without being too overpowered. I'd say he's worth it. Plus, if you get the survivor, Bardic Inspiration is both hilarious, and ridiculously useful.

I believe It indicates vecna isn't really a competent killer and not exactly worth your time, yet you may have fun playing him

I think he's pretty fun.
Played him quite a bit, he's got some good tools
