Want to make a bet that the Spirit's perks will get nerfed?

I'm thinking that Survivor babies are going to cry en masse the loudest about Rancor or Spirit Fury on chainsaw killers.

    You know what I'm going to take this bet that it won't get nerfed. To be honest they didn't change the Clown. Even though survivors cried a little they didn't change the Clown

    Don't forget what they did to Freddy
    Yeah bit that was last year and they buffed Clown despite survivor complains and didnt look back.

    They get my benefit of the doubt for now.

    I plays survivor and I wouldn’t want it to get nerf. It makes the game more challenging and fun. The whole entire time wondering if the killer has rancor or not.

    The only one I can see survivors complaining about is Hex:Haunting Ground.

    The rest are fine.

    Forums are already haunted ground with these oh so oppressed killer mains. They were slain before the survivors even drew their sword!

    the new Survivors perks are in need of buffs, mainly Diversion. it should have multiple charges

    the new killer perks, Spirit Fury can be countered and rendered useless if you drop it and not try to stun the killer

    Rancor is a hit or miss 50%, with the survivors aura at end how will u know which is the Obsession? you won't be able to tell. especially with just 3 seconds

    the hex perk is okayish, however once someone is dead and a ruin has been taken out they won't touch the other hex and tell their mates in voice comm, and the second totem doesn't count so it's not overpowered

    When's the last time Survivors did not complain about a new Killer and perks?

    Right now. No one is screaming yet that the new stuff is OP, and posts like this shouldn’t exist yet either.

    Wait for the Killer's release, then we'll talk. Killers being in the PTB prior to release is a relatively new thing.

    The devs are aware of Survivors lobbying against changes, especially regarding upcoming Freddy buffs, for which they suddenly claim that he's actually a strong Killer and doesn't need any. The learnt from past experiences.

    Dev stream they refused to nerf BBQ ever. Early 100’s. Like 100-108-ish

    But he's talking about survivors rallying against Freddy buffs/reworks.

    I've never seen a collective mob of survivors say that Freddy is fine or that he doesn't need adjusting.

    Completly ignoring this post being released way to early though, as it’s killer aided right? Bitching one way is ok but not the other?

    No, because I was referring specifically to Survivors complaining about the new Killer and perks. Few people played the PTB. I couldn't even get a KYF lobby despite making threads on the forum, indicating that few people who come to the forum were participating in the PTB.

    Not necessarily a collective mob, but several Survivor mains on these forums. Soon after McLean announced Freddy being the next Killer on the buff list, several threads lobbying against any buffs starting popping up.

    You're gonna have to link me a couple of them then.

    I need something to laugh at.

    Yeah no one ever leaves any totems around if they're smart because we all want to have the killer get us with NOED.

    It worked with DS and baby killers crying about it since it's gonna be nerfed in midchapter patch, so yeah, you could be right.
    DS needed a nerf. Think of it this way, what if killers had a perk where if they hit a skillcheck, they get a free hook. Just teleport a random survivor to a hook. And imagine if he could do it 4 times.

    DS doesnt guarantee a safe escape while your perk idea DOES guarantee the hook. Also, it's not like all 4 survivors run DS in every match.

    Imagine survivors could be downed by pressing a button. Killer chases you, misses that hit and presses E so you still get downed, even if you are out of his range.
    Does that sound fair?

    Ok but how is this any different than the small vocal minority of killer mains that whines about anything that's not a nerf to survivors? The only thing I worry about with the Freddy buffs is how even more op he'll be in the hands of really skilled players.

    He's not OP, but okay. People claimed the same thing about Hag: "She's already top tier, she will be even more OP on god Hag".

    Spoiler: she is not. She is more versatile, more rewarding. But in the end it's not like by miracle we all became 5 blinks Nurse. It raised the skill ceil and made survivors more tactical when it comes to play against the Hag.

    You've never played against really skilled Freddy's and hag's have you? I always played more tactical agains't Hag even before her rework.

    Doesn't change that he has the most game mechanics working against him. There will always be people who are good with an underdog Killer.

    Killers downing me out of their range happens a lot already xD.
    There's still a difference: after a succesful DS survivors can be downed again, it's not a safe escape and happens quite often. That down by pressing E will turn into a succesful or secured hook.

    What if it was just dropping them one health state? Would that be fair? You can still lose the Killer.

    They also refused to nerf move adjust or remove swf. So whats your point. They did however nerf billies instasaw and huntresses machine gun build. They did however buff sloppy butcher so their is a lot of back and forth with changes. The killers perks being nerfed is still legitimate worry as many killers before clown they had released sub par killers with very limited options ie freddy pig leatherface doctor.  Holy crap i just realised nearly all their recent killers except clown are bottom tier. Ya I would worry more about the killer.

    I think I know one thing or two about playing the Hag...........

    Regarding Freddy, my point remains the same: he doesn't reward you for the skills you put into him. Unless you believe Leatherface without his chainsaw is OP. Freddy has potential, but currently, his power hinders you more than anything.
