I'm tired of playing against ghoul every game. If you added such a dishonest, bugged character, add a feature to avoid playing against 1 kind of maniac. I want to play against different ones, not this fu**ing imba

    You're playing during his release so you will get him 24/7. Just wait until the hype is done for him. It also why killer queue been long too.

    It has never been this bad. There is always a few here and there that would break it up and it would even die down after a few days. I would actually be happy with a tombstone Myers at this point.

    This is not true.

    Almost every match would be a back to back against the new killer, except for a few like Houndmaster.

    Did you play at all during when Wesker was released?

    To be fair most of these killers felt balanced on release, maybe one or two things that needed a little adjustment but they still for mostly felt fun for both sides. The Ghoul there is a clearly an imbalance that needs attention, so the frustration is kinda valid. Of course removing them is rather drastic, most one can hope for is a major bug is found and they are kill-switched…

    IIts Now a year later and he still bugged, broken, annoying and the most picked killer. Still think a petition should happen to remove his license

    Uknown was nerfed or his addons were and now is nearly in harmless state.

    Wesker got gutted now with bugfixes (his power doesn tfuction how it should and its worse than before).

    Ghoul got nerfed by having his hit after vault with leap (same as wesker has) removed so you can vault throught him if you time it right and his hitbox got smaller I believe.

    meh id rather play iri button legion with enduring than play ghoul. this thread was from a year ago and now Ghoul can't kidnap like he could as well as his most recent nerf of not being able to damage over pallets anymore.

    Yeah, having the highest Pickrate and one of the highest Killrates is a good indicator that changes are needed. If only one of them is high, it also means that you might think about changes, but it is more nuanced there. E.g. Krasue has the highest Killrate, because she is unpopular but has some dedicated mains who are good with her (and she is strong). This can point to making her more fun to play. Springtrap has one of the highest pickrates, since FNAF has a massive fanbase. There it depends on the Killrate if Buffs are needed.

    But having both very high just screams for changes.

    Yeah, it is honestly sad what BHVR has done there. And even more sad that it all was intentional. Anime was a controversial topic in DBD, there was a significant number of people who did not want to have Anime in the game. And since they want to sell their chapter, they had to give those people a reason to buy the chapter. The result is a very easy to play Killer which is also one of the strongest Killers. Meanwhile, they did not even have to bother with making Springtrap actually strong (he is decent, but nobody would think about putting him in the Top 10, maybe not even Top 20), because they knew that the Chapter will sell regardless.

    And honestly, I also feel that you dont really do a favor to Killer players with making Ghoul braindeadly easy and so strong. I see more and more players where I am very sure that they only know how to play Ghoul. P100 Ghouls with a low amount of hours. And I think it is not really helpful that those players learn how to play the game with one character and whenever they switch to a different character, they will not really perform well, because a) they are at a too high MMR and b) the Killer is most likely weaker and harder to play than Ghoul, which will result in frustration.

    I also cannot really blame people who DC against Ghoul. I would not do it myself, but when I face the 4th Ghoul in a row, my enjoyment of playing the game is really low and I will probably quit for the evening. Even if it was a very positive experience before.

    Yeah that's what I was getting at, like I don't even have an issue with Krasue at this point for example.

    Ghoul is one of the best selling killers/cosmetics, which is funny because Tokyo Ghoul might as well be a dead franchise.

    Forgive me for the possibly toxic opinion, I swear most of the "fans" come from the fact they have clung to how strong they were, barely heard anyone I know talk about Tokyo Ghoul before this, it wasn't relevant and the friends I know who watched it all agree the anime was awful after season 2. Plus have to bare in mind a lot of younger players weren't old enough for when it was a current ongoing anime too.

    I think BHVR need to stay well away from Hyper Mobility killers from here on, also nerf the ones who still exist in the game severely. Perk design, map design, killer balance in general is suffering so long as these exist IMO. IDC if the stats dont reflect it for Blight/Nurse (there is actually room for error on them, but it still doesnt excuse people are able to get well over 100 win streaks on said killer).

    I'd rather focus on encouraging killer variety, fixing bugs, buffing the underused, AND NOT CONDITIONING THAT GHOUL SHOULD BE THE BALANCE STANDARD. I dont care if I'm using caps, like they don't know the damage they are doing to their playerbase by keeping it like this.

    A more emotionally charged take, but honestly I hope they are listening. Please for goodness sake deal with high mobility.

    as a former blight main i rather see blight getting nerfed to 4.4 and he should lose all his tokens when he break pallets, thats the bare minimum. also some speed builds are really op on him and should be on the watch list. like furtive chase with friends till the end.

    You have point here, many just ask for devs to merchant him but that isnt good way to fix something.

    Thing is these power reworks take very long time especialy when the killer is newer and isnt crazy in stats which ghoul isnt pick rate isnt something that causes nerfs especialy on characters, perks and addons are different case. Reworking power is like 1/3 of new chapter for them I would say especialy if they have to add more things to that power like small rework had bubba where his charge was same only he got 3 of them instead of one and numbers were changed. Ghoul doesnt have super high kill rate because if I remember from stats before blight had even higher kill rate and he is more problematic in power than ghoul (should be 110 speed the fact that spirit has weaker power or first and are 110 speed or killer like hag isnt 115 speed or atleast have map wide teleport and only 40 meters range to get tp is balance crime and total mess from devs balance team sleeping in corner).

    All tokes are bs you know why? Making killer 110 means he needs better power ( good exsample is spirit or henry) so if he would loose all thats too hard nerf just make him 4,4 because his power is realy strong and make him loose like 2 tokes thats same as breaking pallet with just dashes and he would be perfect high tier killer just like billy.

    See anything along this lines is all I want from the high mobility, I don't want them to lose the identity I just want them to have some kind of breathing room.

    Yeah lets remove Ghould from the game.

    While we are removing Killers which are not liked by the community we should add Blight, Nurse and Wesker to it.

    Oh and Stealth Killers because in Indoor maps they are way to strong…
    And Insta down Killers I really dislike them…

    While we at it, can we remove Trap Killers? Its not fair that they can interrupt good looping which such low level skill set ups.

    Okay for real guys…

    we need to stop make posts about removing Killers under the disguise for the argument "we want more variety"

    If you play custom matches, you won’t have to face the Killers or Perks you dislike.

    By we want more variety it often means " we want any killer that lets us win "

    hope they’ll make a custom game mode with a bot killer so that you can play only the killers that you like facing!

    Why did someone bother reviving this thread? Ghoul's mechanic is annoying for sure, but he's effectively just legion but a bit more annoying his power is only traversal once you're already injured. He gets stuck with M1ing and can just keep making up distance, survs who know how to run chase can still loop the hell out of him.

    Like legion he's just a seal club that destroys low mmr teams who panic when they're perma injured and keep wasting time healing.

    Your just being insanely petty scorched earth these killers can belong and can be tolerable with some numbers tweak unlike Ghoul who is a major outlier because of how he was designed.

    Wesker is fine Blight just need some number nerfs nurse is rare so she's tolerable and your whole spiel about trap killers, insta down and stealth is just a nothing burger to fuel your take.
