Pyramid heads faking their power
How can you deal with a pyramid head that is readying his weapon to bait a dodge? I cannot seem to win in the situation. If I dodge, he cancels and gains distance. If I do not dodge he 'fires' his attack. If he is close it is instant and I cannot react and doge. Help!

That's the main problem with him - that can't be countered.. that's why many people want to nerf him.
You could try using dead hard, but apart from that theres nothing you can do :/

There's not much you can do other than try avoid being in wide open areas. I main PH and I use this tactic because as long as there are no visable LoS blockers, or vault spots, it's pretty easy to react to a survivor. Always try stay around a loop, but don't drop a pallet when he's right on you, because that will result in a free hit from POTD and if you do need to vault, be aware that he will most likely try to hit you with POTD. I do agree that it's pretty stupid I can just fake my special. It does need a slight cooldown before being able to swing normally.

You put enough LOS blockers to increase your chances to win the prediction of his attack and do your best to reach as far outside of his reach.
Do plays that would be normally really weird like double fake windows, run through pallet just to inta teleport back to bait out the M2 cancel and stuf like that to make him question when it's safe to use his power. If it's a random non-animation lock shot you can react to it via dodging.
There isn't simple answer since his power is strong as powers should be. It's not like wraith etc where you just drop pallet and you're 100% safe.

Very very hard to deal with - it's the main change he should get IMO, if he got a cooldown for 2s coming out of the M2 but buffs to the M2 in other ways (like lowering the cooldown post m2 atk to 2.5s, making it apply torment, giving it more movement) he'd be more fun to play and go against, and more skill based - WAY healthier for the game. Right now he just takes no skill, you just M2 cancel and only ever use your M2 on locked anims if playing optimal, boring af

What do you mean by "dodge"? like a vault? or a pallet drop? or a 360?

Just hold W and dodge any ranged attacks, which is pretty easy when you are holding W. You'll waste more of the PH's time doing that than trying to loop them, because of the precise problem you have mentioned.

Theres a sound que when he uses POTD,if he misses it's a cool down of two seconds then he has two use his ability again,which in total is 4.5 secs seconds not to mention it's not a sensitive turn you literally have to be planted to hit anyone so when he drops his knife that's another sound que plus you're locked for about 1.5 seconds or 1 sometimes for some reason you just only have to listen
@Mikeasaurus you're a funny guy
@MrLimonka you're a funny guy
@Xpljesus if anybody should be nerfed is you

You talking about vacuuming the pallet that works wonders but if the PH is patient they will shoot at the same time of the stun and get the hit anyways. Heres a vacuum clip.
Also showcases insta cancel bs

Pre drop pallets and waste maximum time.

Yes could you imagine how trash he would be if he had a longer cancel time? If the Claudette made a mistake but you’re not allowed to swing you just gotta watch her vault the window and click her flashlight at you?
I swear people will have him nerfed into trash tier at this rate.

Him having an insta cancel into swing is not balanced. It allows to zone and force you into unfair 50/50s. I dont understand how you even can remotely find that good. Every killer besides him and DS has a cooldown. Plague? Yes, huntress? Yes. Why must he not have it.
You know deathslinger was originally going to be 115 but people used his power to zone rather than shoot to gain distance. Food for thought. Sad part is hes still used this way.

Lol and how does it work with other killers? There isnt even a 50/50, they’re forced to eat pallets while you run to another and another and another.
The whole debate against killers like Pyramid and Spirit is who should control the chase, survivors or the killer. It has always been the survivors and now people dont like the change. Nurse was always hated too and hell even Clown used to get a lot of negativity.
The 1 relying on the 4 to make mistakes in chases are why so many are not viable. Its also why you get people running an ochido style build, claudette with purple flashlight and OoO because against an older killer the survivor gets to be the power role especially so in SWF.

They arent forced to eat every pallet only fillers that are long and you can see over. Other pallets are mindgamable and you can achieve hits before you get stunned.
It was survivors when vacuum pallets were in the game. The older killers have counterplay that usually the better player wins. This is most obvious in billy. Wraith needs a buff fast but most of the older ones have counterplay.
It's not 1 relying on the others to make mistakes. You could say that vice versa "every loop you get is the killers msitakes." No that is far from the case. Ochido isnt good, a predator, and when I watched him back in the day quite sure he never ran OoO.
Swf is a different story so ignore that.

This game is a 1v4.
0 -
Yet for some odd reason the 1v1 is the most fun/interaction for survivor why is that? Also doesnt that make it important to be looked at.

If you want your 1v1 then all gens are to be blocked during a chase and only open to repair when a chase ends since the other 3 survivors shouldn't exist.

If you want survivors to stay the game has to be fun foR and interesting for them too.
