Something needs to be done about Deathslinger
He's just not fun to play against and there's no counterplay for his gun spamming. Hopefully something will be done to punish those who spam his gun

I completely agree on buffing other parts to him but his gun spamming needs to be addressed. Faced like 3 of them today all doing the same gun spamming bs

Just pretend it's Call of Duty.

Deathslinger can't be turned into an interactive killer without completely gutting him. And since he's already released, he's here to stay.

I hate call of duty never touched the game and I don't think I ever will

I think he means aim/ADS spamming, which causes Survivors to take evasive maneuvers at the cost of distance while barely costing Slinger any speed.

only thing bother me about him is his TR.

Exactly what I meant sorry I don't know the technical terms for that sort of things

He does have a very small TR. Hate how most of the ones I go against that use Monitor and make him almost invisible

Why are you crying about Slinger? Wait until they fix Spirit's sound bug so you can cry about her instead.

He comes around a corner and bam your harpooned.
A good Deathslinger is really difficult to play around because every shot is going to land.

I actually didn't mind spirit. Slinger is the most broken/unfun killer to go against. I'd rather face a Spirit than a broken ass Slinger

that another reason his TR needs looking at with people using M&A.

This mid Tier killer is no fun says random person. Another random person disagree and says he is fun to play and fight against. Balance has yet again been restored.

Maybe in certain hands he can be fun to play against I just find those who spam his gun to be unfun. Like where's the counterplay in that when he loses no speed when he's spamming

And? Killer is the power role, a skilled killer should have little to no counterplay, while a bad killer should be easily beaten. Deathslinger does that to a T.
2 -
No killer should be that easy. They all should at least have some kind of counterplay otherwise it's just unfun to go against

Yea I know.
I wasn't saying it was a bad thing. He's difficult to use so it makes sense.
Its just insane when you get a Deathslinger who you knows what he is doing with insta-firing when most of your practice is against less skilled Deathslingers who take the time to aim. lol

He's probably my most or second most hated killer to play against.
The instant ADS -> shoot is my main gripe as it really shouldn't be a thing imo. I'd like if his accuracy is bad if he doesn't aim for like 0.3 or 0.5 seconds (I'll admit, this change would probably make him near unplayable).
Or they can give him the Pyramid Head/Huntress treatment where pressing ADS slows him for a second after he lets go so spamming it makes him lose a lot of distance but still allows him to bait out dead hards/jukes.
I also wouldn't mind monitor & abuse changed from -8 meters off your terror radius to -25% so that way all the 32 meter killers are unaffected but Deathslinger gets an 18 meter instead of 16. This would probably nerf a few edge cases that don't need nerfing though like maybe vanity mirror Myers if he normally runs it.

If one is to say that him spamming his aiming is wrong than it would be fair to say a spirit just standing still to pretend shes phasing is wrong also. All killers have to play certain ways to trick survivors into doing what they want. You have to find a way to play against it not tell dev's to change it.

I've never been so happy to read a comment. This is perfect, would love if they at least took this into consideration

why hes just a worse huntress with much more cooldown and punishment of missed shots and range and hitbox size and you survivors can get themselves stuck on nearby objects and you can't down people behind the wall like huntress unless you pull them to a window.
0 -
Not really. As a survivor is running to a loop all you have to do is spam your ADS and they'll curve if they look back while looping and all he has to do is keep spamming until he's close enough to hit you with his basic attack yeah definitely worse then huntress when she gets slowed down for pulling out a hatchet but he can keep spamming his ADS with no consequences

I think he means just ads spamming, not actually shooting.

You know that the harpoon-gun doesn't need bait? You didn't have to bring any.
0 -
He is fine. The reason you think he is op is because he is only powerful in a chase.
0 -
While I love playing him, and consider him to be either the 3rd or 4th best killer in the game (imo it's a 3-way tie between him, Blight and Oni) he absolutely needs changes. The thing is, nobody on this forum will agree with anyone and BHVR don't see a problem with their all-knowing stats so he will probably remain as is for a very long time.

people are giving up a possible gen defense perk just to reduce their terror radius.. that's an issue? Ok so he can sneak up on you more easily, he can't stop the gens on the other side of the map at the same time..

I used to think that you could juke and predict the Jeffslinger.
Then I realized he could do this crazy little thing called aiming.
