Why nerf Skull Merchant's stealth?
Pretty much everyone agreed this was all she had going for her atm. The buffs she's getting are simply not enough to makeup for nerfing the Undectable duration by 25%. She's currently the only F tier killer, there's no excuse for doing this stupid buff nerf thing when she just needs buffs. Just revert all the changes from her gutting and remove the Hinder effect entirely. That's ALL YOU HAVE TO DO PLEASE. As someone who has played her since she released, her rework was actually a huge success, people just hated her because of her reputation, not her gameplay, people didn't even give her a chance. The Hinder effect was the only problematic thing in her kit.

I think it's really oppressive for a Killer to be able to stay undetectable for the entire of a match, and they nerfed the Undetectable as compensation for the Drone placement cooldown so she cannot delete her Terror Radius for the entire match. Otherwise she'd be Undetectable for longer than the Drone placement cooldown.

I don't think its nerfed. If my understanding of undetectable is correct It should fade in more often but it only ever fade in to 8 meters before fading away again when you place a new drone, Compared to the old version which faded in less often but faded into 16 meters before a new drone could be placed.

It's because they're reducing the time between placing Drones too.
Currently it's 8s Undetectable with a 10s cooldown, leaving a 2s Gap where you don't have Undetectable.
It's going to 6s Undetectable with a 7s cooldown, leaving a 1s Gap instead.

6 seconds is way worse than 8 seconds.
With 8 seconds, the killer can activate stealth when the survivor is outside her terror radius, and then walk all the way to the survivor while undetectable.
With 6 seconds, the killer can’t stop the survivor from seeing a visual terror radius warning, unless monitor and abuse is used.

SM is still F tier. Revert her to the old one, this os absurd.

It¨s truly not as you think. To do so, you would have to spamm drones and recall them entire time. Each 6s, which imo would just lose you game by itself. SM is one of few killers who's completely silent when undetectable and is currently the only strong part about her. Sure, you can run stealth perks but the rest of kit isn't truly that good either. All SM use rotation add on and it makes no difference, so having it basekit won't change much. I'd prefer them bringing back two lasers and slow the rotation instead. In the end all her power was about popping drone in every loop, making speed difference which was boring but at least she had something.

Because permanent undetectable is obnoxious on a extremely silent killer

As I said, permanent stealth would make her throwing to spamming drones.

The only reason they nerfed the undetectable is so you can't spam drones for infinite undetectable.

Because she has lower TR it should be still possible to sneak up to survivors. This change would suck if she had standard TR.
But timing is going to be more difficult with lower duration.0 -
The buffs she got were pitiful. They really didn't need to nerf anything. She needs a lot more.
