I'm very pleased with the new killer and her playstyle, it actually takes skill to play her. I can see why she killer mains already have complaints and is disliked already.
 not that her current state is going to be the live version she can change anytime between now and then.

For one I like her ability to deceive survivors and how well she can track survivors but that can be kind of hard for majority of the killer base.

Right now her perks are very strong if used in the right hands it will makes cleansing totems very risky now and lets face it with the new NOED its going to be a lot harder to deal with the killer if you're the obession .

this killer is well balanced and brings new opportunity to the tables with her perks

A new BbQ chilli - a new NOED and the ability to instantly destroy pallets .

What would you mix her perks with ?

Spirit Fury and Enduring will go hand and hand if you decide to freely eat two pallets. the third one you walk into you want even feel it

Haunted grounds will protect your Hex ruin and expose the player who cleans a decoy totem .. but if one thing changes is that the decoy totems shouldn't change to a dull.

Rancor and NOED is going to be toxic but
funny

All in All this is a good killer and very balanced idky why most people hate her already probably killer mains 
wanted something easier which is understandable they need the hand out

but from my view the Devs did a good job with her

I forgot to mention it is great that they put a stop to ability spamming this will force most killers to think about the best opportunity to use their ability and increase their skills when facing a survivor.

we are going in a good direction

    Once she come to console 

    This is a build I would like to try. I call it the power of the hexes lol 

    Haunted ground 
    thrill of the hunt 
    devour hope 
    and Hex: the third seal

    I would either use The Spirit or The Hag 😁

    She seems cool and her perks are interesting the crying and overreacting is crazy. Every new killer they want as powerful as the nurse. That isn't going to happen. The perks together will be fun. I like the hex build. I also like enduring, spirit fury, ruin, and hex haunted. Seems you can really do some early damage.

    Most killers are coming from F13 where they could instant kill players without them having much of a chance to escape.

    Now that most killers require a style of gaming play it is too hard for them so they whine.

    she is very decent and her perks will make the game tough if used correctly

    Watching game play of her, I find her interesting and want to give it a try. I do agree the overreacting is crazy, but the dev hand waving and snide responses to the complaints were very off putting. I think that is what got a lot of people more up in arms in here at least. I do not want to say one way or another about her until she is released on PS4.

    The dev coming out so strong reacted poorly to the immediate negative reaction to the new killer. Hopefully after they have all the data, cooler heads prevail. The anger for this new chapter seems real.

    I said it when the Clown was still on the PTB and I say it again: When survivor mains think the new killer is in a good spot, it means that the killer is terrible weak.

    Clown is mediocre, so will be Spirit.

    With the difference that there were several OP complains regarding the clown. However the spirit appears to be a "fine" killer from teh survivors perspective :wink:

    I like her. You can play a lot of mindgames with her. Also if in the end it turns out that she is too weak the devs still can buff her if they want to. Morf_uk mentioned in a stream that The Spirit was too OP during her development so they had to nerf her quite a lot before releasing the PTB, so they definitely know how to buff her.

    If devs dont buff her now, nothing will happen for the next year at least. Maybe a rework will be scheduled for 2020

    If they want to rework her after the release and see how she is ran during her first three months. Then they can decide what needs a change.

    Just complaining for no reason or complaining because it is too hard to play her isn't a fair complaint.
    just because you're a killer doesn't mean you're entitled to a easy win if survivors had zero chance to win nobody would play....

    Right now she is in a great spot except her decoy totems need to stay a hex totem instead of returning to a dull.

    You mean like Freddy? Who was released almost a year ago and still hasn´t received his buff?
    Suuuure. Just enjoy facing Nurse only on high ranks. Would be a shame if other killers actually were valid.

    Haven't played with her because I'm on console, but I've watched Panda, Monto and some other streamers on twitch play her REALLY well. She definitely looks fun and seems like a challenge.

    You should rephrase that to *some*. Either way, my opinion/approval of her as a killer still stands.

    why do you care what some YouTube say and does? their word isn't law and the things they say don't matter.

    Why don't you people allow others to have their opinions and live? Not everyone is going to think how you think, understanding that is a part of being an adult and growing up. Don't quote me anymore. My opinion and approval of Rin still stands.

    Rancor + Save the best for Last is pretty nice. Prevents the survivors from running too far from u after them getting hit which allows you to conserve your ability for when it is necessary.

    And if he is pleased, that means something. She desperatly needs a buff.

    You realize that the killers dont want easy wins but a fair game the normal chase length is way to long and is just unfair on the killer and I play both killer and survivor and enjoy both sides but I have a way more stressful time playing killer than survivor because chases can go on way to long and gens get done really quick the only reasons why matches go on so long is because the survivors are saving and all that and the only reason killers even get kills is because of survivors mistakes and it really shouldn't be that way I realize that all the survivor mains out there will hate me saying this but it needs to be said

    Killers review bomb every time a Dev streams and attack them because "Something is too hard for them" or if a survivors perk is too fast.
    They come here looking to fight with any survivor that suggest anything about a killer.

    lets stay on topic this killer is in a perfect spot of balance

    I disagree chases are too short and if the person doesn't keep the killer occupied too long . it will be bad for everyone you as a killer should keep track of your own time and should stop mid chase and check gens

    Thank you, OP, for proving the Spirit needs buffs. Nothing like a biased Survivor main saying a Killer is fine for the devs to realize that the Killer needs buffs.

    The killer is honestly where she needs to be any buff would make her too strong her sprint makes her invisible and the fastest killer.
    He reach is perfect and her terror radius is where it needs to be if not smaller

    what more could you ask for?  a easy win?

    What universe are you from? In this universe, Killers never review bombed over 2.1.0. It was the entitled Survivors. You either need to check what universe you’re in or stop lying.

    I'm just stating facts .. every season if not every day a killer complains about survivors being  OP when its the other way around.

    I like her a LOT, so much to the point that I might play Killer just because of her.

    Sadly though, I think she is in need of buffs. I want them to increase the recharge rate of Phase Walk or increase the amount of time she can be in Phase Walk. Or, add the ability to use Phase Walk even if it isn’t 100% full.

    Dude, where were you in July when 2.1.0 dropped? It was impossible to not see a thread on the forums and Reddit that Steam was being review bombed by Survivors who were upset about the Exhaustion nerfs and other Killer buffs. Again, you’re either lying or you’re just continuing with your bait attempts.

    that would be too strong as you become invisible .
    if that would be the case she would have to suffer from fatigue as well as a penalty for the amount of time she used her ability or make her stun herself after abuse of ability

    Umm I don't see any survivor complaining now? I wonder why
