So.. Pyramid head will soon be changed.

I dont mind tht he can counter meta perks thats fine but being able use m2 only to switch to m1 almost immediately leaves no mind game whatsoever on loops. It literally takes away survivors only safety from the killer. All survivors have is windows and pallets. I dont mind getting outplayed it happens but your only tactic is keep distance or pre-throw every pallet which is just unfun, theres simply no skill to playing ph. Also being tormented should really go away after every hook state and dont get me started on deathslinger and the fact freddy doesnt have any slowdown from setting blood snares.

One thing I always wanted was when survivors are hit with the ranged attack they get auto tormented.

Now we take a step back and read this again and take a deep breath.

We are now down to complain that some players were able to outsmart others by doing something that is hard to do? I mean, one could say they are playing good and use their tools smartly, but why bother, I guess.

And because the others cannot always avoid getting hit like killer players are not always able to hit the others, we need to increase even more the restrictions to the killer players that the others get better chances of avoiding their attacks?

Really?

It is an interesting idea to signal even more when an invisible guy gets invisible or maybe where he is currently at, maybe we should keep the red stain visible even when the killer is invisible; we could use that also to signal where a nurse is jumping to or where ranged killers are aiming at.

How on Earth is his "true strength" faking it? He's literally a smaller-ranged Huntress who can hit through walls, like a Nurse/Huntress hybrid. His "faking it" (aka getting ready to do it but failing to make the right call on the survivor 90% of the time) is the only actually broken thing about him. There desperately needs to be an actual cooldown to enable any real counterplay.

Exhaust perks are meant to be second chances in a chase. The reason why people use Dead hard is because its most universal exhaust perk with no real requirements beyond being injured. If anything, Balance landing, Lithe, Sprint burst and Head on need some serious buffs because they really suck for second chance chase perks. Head on has 3 second timer to use it and it practically makes Quick&Quiet mandatory, Sprint burst wastes so much time on walking, Lithe has no on/off button and it disables your ability to window loop+you need good angle to make use of the speed and Balance landing always needed levitation and it was never good exhaust perk beyond its stagger passive that created artificial infinities on some maps before the perks total destruction.

If I had to take a guess for why they're thinking of changing pyramid head, its probably because his killrate is highly inflated because his cages completely remove any fear of DS and Borrow time and those perks by sheer existence prologue survivors time in a match and he has no fear of those perks so he can eliminate survivors very quickly out of the match. Speaks volumes for how good those survivor perks are I guess. Maybe they'll make cages work with survivor perks but than what would torment affliction do?

Billy had weakness, if he miss chainsaw or hit a wall, he would suffer a cooldown and he had pretty long charge time on his chainsaw. Its just that there he had thompson mix and carburetor tuning guide to make the cooldown almost zero and charge was significantly reduced. Now a days billy feels like a chore to play, his only reliable charge time reducation add-on turns him into 110% joke killer and he no longer has cooldown reducation add-on. His Iri add-on are pure jokes, like who uses iri brick that for some reason has drawback of requiring 2 seconds of chainsaw to activate and apex muffler is silly. Lopros chain could easily be valuable iri add-on if it did not have drawback of giving you speed limiter after breaking a pallet. Barely see billy get played now a days. If only billy had add-on that did not cripple him to the bone. I miss facing confident billy as survivor.

why do you think its called second chance perk? It wouldn't be second chance perk if it did not save your life. They aren't meant to have counter-play. Its not about how many second chance perks survivors have. its about how often you get a chance to mindgame/capitalize on survivor. This is partly to why dead hard is best exhaustion perk because you get to play the game normally, if you make a good read, you keep your dead hard, but if you make wrong read, your still safe. Those other exhaustion perks also erase mistakes, but different types, for example sprint burst removes your ability to be unsafe in deadzone, Lithe allows you to play unsafe pallets with opportunity to outplay bloodlust if you make a correct read, you can get to another ultra-safe pallet and put it down to remove it. Head on allows you to use lockers as jukes without risk that you get pulled out of a locker, balance landing is only exhaustion perk that works in middle of a chase, its purely a chase extension perk but its situational. You can clearly see why good players use dead hard over other versions. Dead hard is like skill based Old MoM.

Survivors expect easy mode. And not learning how to adapt. They want cookie cutter killers so they can say " I earned my rank" even though the Devs hand out the survivor ranks through perpetual killer "balances". Remember this is 4v1 in the game and out of the game. To every 1 killer saying "Hey what about this issue with this"

You have 4 survivors crying about a mechanic on a survey that they dont like until changes are implemented.

The PH change is not a good quality of life change. Just as a nerf to prayer beads, a cooldown to Billy, a cooldown to the nurse, and so on and so forth.

I will say it again. Survivors want easy mode and will harass surveys until they get what they want changed.

well I guess people stop using PH when this happens.

it is funny survivors shouldn't have counterplay but killer need counterplay how that work?

this 4v1 game and these rule sounds like oxymoron.

God if they do I'm going uninstall the game feels alot like Evolved and other 1v4 games.

Not gonna lie I'd be quite happy with giving him more of a cooldown for canceling maybe 1 second full not too sure about any more than that, once he pulls up and you're about to reach a window you're forced into a stupid "guess better" situation where you have 0 control over whether you get hit or not unless you have dead hard. With a slightly shorter cooldown it at least leads to less dammed if you do dammed if you don't situations at windows.

Also him countering DS is laughably unfun for survivors playing against him, if you get basement'd against him and he wants you dead there is nothing you can do about it, BT won't save you for long if he just body blocks you on the way up and hits last second (He can also bring the undetectable addon to not even give you that chance of making it out). If you step in his judgment against a fair amount of pyramid heads you are getting tunneled down and dying almost consistently, in one day I ran against 7 of them back to back and 5/7 tunneled one dude in our match to the ground.

So yeah I do think they should change the parts of his kit where players can abuse him for cheap hits/kills. To change the tunnel aspect maybe add a cooldown after a survivor is unhooked/uncaged before you can send them to the cage/execute them so at least they can take up some time being slugged instead of them insta dying and make DS count activate from being caged.

Yeah his add-ons either suck or are amazing.

Don't forget deathslinger.
