Nerfing killers after gen speeds/survivor OP things ok?
Do you guys think that nerfing some killers will be ok when gen speeds/keys etc. get nerfed, killers like freddy and doctor are just the whole package: good map pressure, good slowdown, good chase potential, good at finding survivors... maybe they could get tuned down a bit? I play both sides and honestly the only thing that i find really broken are some loops (not a surprise for anyone) and gen speeds. maybe once gen speeds are fixed some killers are fixed they could spend time nerfing killers that are overperforming and buffing killers that are underperforming, like clown, pig, trapper...

I wouldnt have a problem with killer nerfs if I had more than 4 minutes and could make more than one mistake against top teams.
If bhvr wants to do their typical, 5% increase in gen times, because that extra 4 seconds is a big deal if you're an umbra level killer, then nerf the crap out of killer, because they're too oppressive to rank 15s, then I won't be ok.

Only if killers are actually determined to need a nerf, or we're right back where we started.

Freddy strength is what the other killers needs to be brought up to.
Also, I don't think doctor would even make my A tier, much less a nerf.

just like i said however: if they fixed gen speed etc. would all killers need to be that powerful? Not really a way to know, but i personally don´t think so.

Exactly how i feel.

For me there are some killers that are pretty damn strong, but the sheer power that survivors have right now kinda hides it. If survivors get fixed and dont finish gens in 10 seconds and the match in 5 minutes, i think some killers will be kinda too powerful.

This is pretty much how most of devs balancing patches go:
They fix a survivor balance issue but then they nerf killers making it as if the devs never balanced anything at all.

If the upcoming Early Game Change slowed down a match considerably then I'll agree that some killers will need to be adjusted to allow for a fair chance on both sides.
Imagine a new, mechanical early game slowdown by game design combined with Freddy with a slowdown build.

forgot to say that i doesn´t limit to only doc and freddy (imo, of course) but also (some) others. Spirit is a great example, good notice on that!

Yeah, for spirit maybe, but no other killer. Freddy is fine, he has some decent counterplay, and I think every killer should be as good as him. Same can be said about doc. Of course, OP add-ons like iri head and tombstone piece need nerfs.

What is wrong with people? BUFF the other killers, not nerf the few we have that not require 500 hours to be decent with.

I see what you're saying, but that isn't a question that can be answered because it's extremely broad and completely vague.
It's like saying if we made Deja Vu better would it be OP? That's the kind of vague I'm talking about.
Fix gen speeds could mean adding 5 seconds or 100 seconds to each gen. You see what I'm saying?
My answer would be completely different depending on your specifics.
