Deathslinger is the most balanced killer

You forgot to mention he is range limited, which is why I believe Huntress will eventually be limited in her range.

Once Oni came, everyone knew Billy would be limited, Deathslinger shows us why Huntress should be limited to.

everyone reads this:agress

the devs:LeTs NeRf It

Definitely not, in chases he has nearly no counter play in most cases and is fully based on guessing. Someone who mastered the Redeemer can end chases in a few seconds no matter the survivor or the map in most cases with some perk builds.

Requiring a good aim means skill gap, has nothing to do with balance.

"Easy to play, hard to master" means skill gap, nothing to do with how good the killer itself actually is.

His addons doing something, you should have added he is also good without addons. This is pretty balanced, I agree and I like it.

Movement speed and TR are so easy to get right by the devs it shouldn't even be mentioned. Of course a killer with 16m attack range has 110% speed, of course a 110% speed killer has 16m TR.

I guess fast gens and non-existent chases are sort of balanced. Not my idea of a fun match though on either side.

I completely agree with Myers (dont know about Demo as I dont own ST chapter) he has a ton of ways to play, small TR stealth, massive TR EW3 Infectious, Jumpscare etc. Has an engaging power which also allow for a lot of ways to play with it instead of the latest "I get to the Survivor, use my power like Legion, Oni, DS and PH" trend, he is decent at chases, decent at pressuring people, decent at scaring people away with EW3, his only true weakness is lack of mobility which Survivors can exploit and you have to learn how to work around it (it can be done, trust me), you have to think how to play the map you are given, what to defend, where to herd people so they get rid of the pallets you want gone etc instead of pingpongballing around gens like others or spaming their powers non stop.

You screw with Myers you get punished, Survivors screw they get severely punished, he gets no second chances because he offers none.

Got myself from rank20 to rank1 with Myers all the way (a bit of Jigsaw on the side too), when I read those "Hillbilly most balanced Killer EVER" I always tought "what about Myers?".

The nurse at least closes the gap between her an the survivor and huntress isn't slowed down that much after a missed attempt. Deathslinger's reload hurts SO much, which is why the best and only useful addons are the ones that increase the reload speed.

I've said it before, I'll say it again: 5... Separate... Slowdowns... just for using his power.

No other killer has this many slowdowns, and the most any of them have is 3. All killers have the initial slowdown of missed or successful M1 strikes which is why I'm adding that to the total, so Nurse for example, has that + she Slows down when charging her power, Slows down for Fatigue which = a total of 3 slowdowns. Deathslinger however Slows down for: Striking, Aiming, Reeling, cooldown/stun, and reloading.

Successful reeling can take up to 5 seconds, otherwise it takes 1 second, Aiming is a large slowdown but over with in less than a second if you know how to quickscope, cooldown/stun takes 2-4 seconds depending on if you're on cooldown or stunned, reloading takes 2 seconds at base. So, Just to successfully injure 1 survivor with his power he can take upwards of 7 seconds, + 2 more to reload. Unsuccessful spear shots take 5 seconds to recover from and reload, but the worst is the successful spear shot that results in a stun which takes a max of 9 seconds to recover from and 2 seconds to reload again.

Deathslinger has too many slowdowns that give survivors too much time to do objectives all while he's just trying to knock down 1 survivor. Even In an Ideal situation where he manages to land 2 shots from his spear gun and knock a survivor down, the whole process can take 16 seconds. In contrast, Huntress only slows down for the windup with a max of 2 seconds, and the cooldown of 1 second, and holds still at a locker for 2 seconds when reloading but gets 5 shots every time, and she can knock a survivor from range in less than 6 seconds with 2 well aimed shots.

Deathslinger isn't balanced at all... he's too weak! I hadn't even mentioned his slower than average 4.4m/s movement speed which only exaggerates the fact that Using his power gives survivors too much time, and In a game where the "Power Role" is constantly against racing the clock in order to succeed, Deathslinger comes in dead last. He would honestly do better, and be more efficient at downing survivors if he just stuck to M1'ing them... that's how bad his "power" is.

You're 100% right, I agree. Too much effing slowdown for 110 speed killer and has 0 map pressure and no guaranteed hit. I'm also slinger main on console. You can't stop gens getting finished, Even though you end chases quickly. I don't know what the devs were thinking when they were creating his power.

Nurse loses line of sight super easily due to fatigue and has a lot of maps where she’s hindered quite a bit. Plus she can’t immediately blink more than once right after fatigue. You HAVE to be close to perfect with Nurse in order to be a threat.

Sometimes Deathslinger’s best form of offense is not even using his power. The threat of the gun is better than actually using it sometimes since survivors will try to juke your power and lose distance. Deathslinger doesn’t even have to use his power all the time to be a threat unlike Nurse and Huntress.

Let’s not forget that Huntress has to go out of her way to reload at a locker and drop chase. Deathslinger can still chase and reload.

Hah, he really isn't.

Deathslinger is not balanced. He seems too underwhelming compared to most killers. A competent survivor team will trash him. Of the 110% killers, Hag would probably be the most balanced. Huntress too probably if it weren't for her hitboxes. As for 115% killers, most balanced would be Hillbilly (before this upcoming patch) & probably Doctor.
