Nerf the ghoul into the ground or give him the Chucky treatment. How come chucky lost his ability to go under pallets but the ghouls get too. Nerf this abomination. Its not fun and boring.

    He'll get nerfed. Don't you worry. Every game as the Ghoul I see nothing but people disconnecting, and I don't blame them one bit. It's Wesker all over again.

    I mean Wesker as in pick rate. Nothing but Wesker for weeks when he was released. I hope Ghoul gets nerfed sooner, so we don't have to sit through this just as much as back to back Wesker at most levels of play..

    Don't worry, he'll get nerfed, BHVR always obeys their survivor bosses.

    It's almost as if releasing a shiny new thing gets a lot of people interested in playing it! Imagine that.

    Now, if you don't see a seemingly endless tide of the shiny new thing when it comes out, then you know that you have a problem.

    I dunno the power is abit bullshit, you vault a pallet,gg free hit…free 1st hit behind a wall gg,like the killer is nice but there is a couple of things that could be changed to make it fairer for survivors, and this is from someone who's playing kineki, its such a free game at the moment (over 5000 hours so think of that as you will mmr wise)

    dont get me wrong they're fun but it just feels unfair and abit PAY TO WIN

    Kaneki is definitely a little overtuned. His first free hit needs limitations such as a shorter range and a smaller hotbox to make it more deliberate rather than just point and clicking in a survivors general direction.

    However, after that it gets complicated. His ability to get the first hit and down is extremely good, but toning down the wrong aspects will just make him clunky or kill him entirely. Like it or not, it needs to be a slow process. Small changes here and there to see how they feel but never anything drastic to tone him down little by little until he's in a more balanced spot. This is the most fun killer we've had since Wesker so it's a delicate situation.

    Nerfing characters into the ground is terrible game design. I hate the Ghoul as much as you do, but I think it would benefit the game overall if he was just balanced properly instead of made another useless killer.

    He'll get nerfed because he deserves it. I honestly don't understand how anyone can defend this killer in his current state. I don’t want him to be completely ruined by the nerfs because I plan to buy him after the changes, as I refuse to play as a killer who is this unbalanced; it’s just not fun.

    Edit- I don’t know about you all, but I enjoy working hard for my victories. I like a challenge. Legion and Pig are my two favorite killers; I’ve been playing them since they were released. I don’t want a killer who feels they can get easy wins without truly earning them.

    I will admit I found it really weird that they basically reintroduced the manual pallet scamper on another killer. It's even worse on ghoul because he's a 115 killer where chucky is a 110. Total lack of consistency with the balance department.

    The Freddying™ process is underway already....

    In 3 months time, his power will be a joke or completely erased and replaced.

    Glad I didn't buy him.

  • Member Posts: 957

    Agreed. It's pretty obvious what's gonna happen.. Denial can be an ugly thing.

  • Member Posts: 3,227

    It's sad, really.

    But this community knows no moderation, as the OP shows, and will just scream and curse until he's trash.

    We saw it with Freddy, then Skull Merchant, then Chucky in a smaller degree. Kaneki is next.

    Most fun since Wesker…?

    What happened to Dracula? Xenomorph? Skull Merchant? Midgularity? VECNA????? (No, I'm not saying that all of those are ridiculously busted with the exception of Dracula, he definitely needs a change; just making a point.)

    I'm not sure where the fun is supposed to be, but as you can hear by the wails of agony and an overpowered killer that should've been nerfed before he released Public… A little overtuned is the understatement of the century.

    He definitely needs a smaller range, he needs more slowdown after making a leap and they need to remove his autoaim so that that first hit BS is no longer free.

    Denial is ugly cause people refuse to accept the truth of the matter.

    Kaneki is broken.

    Boom. I said it in big, bold letters, does that draw attention to it or are we gonna here the same excuse people always hide behind when something stupid cracked is released and they don't want to see it get nerfed?

    "Just find counterplay" and provides no examples on how to counter this white-haired trashbin

    Those that are denying he is too oppressive are the folks I am referring to. It is very obvious to see that the Killer is too oppressive for the average DBD player. I just didn't specify to see which side would contradict me first, but yes I agree The Ghoul is pretty oppressive.
