I hate playing against Deathslinger
Deathslinger is the most unfun Killer to go against
Don't get me wrong. I know exactly that Deathslinger is definitely not a strong Killer. He has stealth (kinda) and 1v1, but no information, no mobility, furthermore, he slows down himself a lot (constant reloading, huge stuns after Survivors free themselves).
But he is frustrating to play vs! He is like the first version of Legion - he has very unfun uncounterable things and this is stupid:
1) 16 meters terror radius with Monitor & Abuse is awful. He often gets close enough to shot me. Without Spine Chill this is very stressful.
Huntress is able to down Survivors way quicker, but at the same time she has huge lullaby so I can decide to hide or take a risk. Against Huntress I have a choice option, against Deathslinger I don't.
2) He shots instantly... Huntress makes very loud "EEGGHHH" sound so I know exactly vs her when I should be prepared to dodge. Against Deathslinger I should dodge constantly..
Like.. even Spirit gives me more choice option. When she starts phasing - her husk slightly changes her body's movements so I know exactly when she is using ability. Also she has a 15 seconds cooldown during which I have some time to rest.
With Deathslinger you should guess all the time, all the god damn time. No one other Killer makes Survivors that stressed imo.
3) Deathslingers more than other Killers tunnel/camp and use NOED in the crutch way
With no mobility, no information, no stall tools he has no map pressure. With a gun you are pretty much forced to camp hooked Survivors. It is common to see Deathslingers doing this. Due to this, players use NOED in its possible crutch and disgusting way "1 camped - other NOEDed". And NOED works because if Killer camps - other Survivors MUST repair all generators until it is too late.
I said you all reasons why I hate Deathslinger. Tell me your opinion about this Killer.

He does not shoot Instantly. It’s a leading shot not ray casted. You can dodge his shot if you move as soon as you hear the bang. Survivors do this to me all the time.

I can't understand the mind of a survivor that is more stressed with deathslinger than spirit. The idea against him is to break line of sight, dodge and weave, and turn around every now and then to be aware of when he is aiming and try to get out of his sights. I think he is a fine killer though his low movement speed can be a problem when trying to reach far away gens and pressure survivors off them.

Deathslinger might be the best area camping killer in the game. If you listen to killers, they are correct that he struggles with patrolling generators.
In my survivor experience, just do the gens and get out. If confirmed he’s area camping a hook, go back to doing generators.
If you’re at a generator and hear his terror radius, bail.

I'd honestly want to face double mend Legion than Deathslinger. It feels like ######### to pretty much get noscoped through a damn hole in a tile. Idc about being shot through a small opening, good on the player for using that to their advantage. My problem with Slinger is that adsing takes no time, I mean ffs, in Apex it takes more time to raise a sniper up to ADS than it does for Deathslinger.
I don't think he's strong, he reminds me a lot of pre-'rework' Legion. Honestly, I'd just like some notification that he's ADSing because half the time when I see him raise his rifle to fire it doesn't even complete the animation.
His small T/R is definitely annoying, not sure why they didn't make his 32m. Used with M&A Deathslinger becomes much better than just mediocre.
