I'll admit kaneki does feel busted.

I've played as kaneki, and against him. At first I thought he didn't really need much of a nerf,but going against him feels kinda bad. Like many has said the free hit feels like you can do nothing against it. I just went up against a kaneki who was complete trash. Like it took him half way through the match to grab a survivor,but once he figured out his power he was pretty oppressive,and got mostly everyone on death hook fast. I could tell he was new to the killer,and I'm saying you don't really need much skill to get a easy win as him. I really did feel like he is more oppressive than a nurse.

Staying on a Gen for 90 seconds is kinda boring. Having to get on a Gen, get off a Gen. Killer kicks said gen. This loop happened probably more than a dozen times vsing kaneki. He can go from one point of the map to the other within seconds making staying on a Gen for 90 seconds take even longer. I was saying to myself I would rather vs a nurse cause there is some mind gaming involved with the survivor and her blinks.

I'm just saying, playing as kaneki is fun. He has a cool power,but when I play against him it just makes me want to turn DBD off, and play something else. I think he needs a tweak in 2 departments as I see so far. His range needs to be reduced so he can't fly acrossed the map within 2 seconds. It's a bit much,and it feels better if it was balanced a bit more. The second is the free hit. I do think that there should be some skill involved with learning any ability and there is just no skill from clicking on a survivor from 20 yards away,and getting a free hit. It makes killers who has put time into learning other killers feel bad when any fresh player can pick up kaneki,and have a easy chance at a free win. I'm not gonna play survivor when the majority of the survivor populations first instinct is to give up when they see a kaneki. It's not healthy for the game to make other gamers feel like this. I also feel like the people who are saying he needs no nerfs are probably killers who are bad at the game,and want a easy win. I like to assume my killer matches are won cause I took the time to master that killer,and not a win won through a busted ability. Just saying.

    Just my 2 cents but I can handle what Kaneki brings to the table, but his recovery after power is probably the sore spot that sticks out the most.

    I can handle the hitscan lockon free hit, but the ability to m1 so fast is kinda the deal breaker.

    he’s a little over tuned for the mass I think.

    I still think he needs to be toned down a bit, but I have to say the more I play against him the less OP he feels.

    Kaneki is op, the movement is honestly fine, but rage vaulting really shouldnt be as strong and fast as it is
