Skull Merchant Rework: A Returning Players Perspective
Just to give some perspective. I was a killer player back in the day the last character that came out while i was playing regularly was The Nemesis. I love playing weird out of pocket low tier characters in games. i love learning all the small things about bad characters and make them work to my advantage. (i know i know most people arent like this) A friend of mine recently got me to try the game again and i looked into all the new killers, i saw skull merchant and told them "this character looks so cool" and i was told it wasn't worth it because they are being reworked.
I went looking into the rework and I see that they are giving her a complete overhaul on everything, this has actually kept me from playing the game because, why should i take the time to learn this complex ability if its just going to poof in a couple weeks to a month. why should i play this game if the only killer im attracted to game play wise is getting changed. I see potential in her kit YES it needs tweeks Yes its weak for RN but, i have also seen some of the suggestions the community has made to keep her similar and they sound amazing
I am asking as someone who desperately wants to play a skull merchant that still resembles the scanning and tracking of a true hunter, i want to be able to deploy drones to help me find my pray. even a buff to the scanning that makes working on generators while in range show killer instant instead of applying the debuff to them would be something.
idk but what i do know is, you want more people to play your game but making one of the most complex characters who actually has an interesting and unique kit into one that is basically just another summon killer, just makes me not want to play.
i know this is all just an opinion but this is my perspective. i dont think a character should be trashed because the company cant get it right, they need to be fixed and they very much can be.
