Why aren't the twins more popular?
In 2 months I have faced them twice.
Yesterday I bought them and I am having a blast with them.Super fun,and not doing too bad either perkless in red ranks.(2k minimum)
So why nobody plays them?

They're one of the only killers I never bought. They just don't seem all that appealing to me.
Oh yeah and now they're getting nerfed.

Because if I can't remain in Victor's POV while riding piggyback on a survivor there's no point in playing them.

They just aren't the crowd favorite, their power is lackluster except for camping, using it in a chase takes far too long vs competent survivors so the only way to win is to use victor to camp and slug or hope the survivors are empty upstairs unless you are fine with just basically throwing every match

people think bad of them because there power is really good for camping not as good as say bubba, but its up there, and also you get punished to much for missing an attack, and with there new nerf, you get basically ds stunned for landing victor correctly

I've been playing the game for about 6 weeks. I've faced her probably 6 or 7 times at most. It's a shame in a way, I like her design. And seeing that little freak Victor running around, frothing and gurgling the way he does, is creepy. Far more unique killer than a KPop goon who likes to stab people.

I personally find them quite fun and unique. So many survivors rarely see them so they just don't know their counter play very well.
I think I'm on like a 9 hour 4k win streak with them at rank 1 at the moment. Mind you probably 60% of those games are with 5 gens still up even. They're much better than people give them credit for.
That said, take this with a grain of salt. MM, rank system, and rank reset are a mess at the moment which is highly skewing kill rates artificially. I'm getting a ton of lower ranks thrown into my lobbies. Needless to say these are not true rank 1 games.
If that PTB nerf actually goes through though...they are dropping at least an entire tier not only in power but also fun. They're gonna kill the rare handful of people that actually play The Twins.

You think current Twins are weak?

I mean I'm on a 9 hour 4k win streak with her at rank 1, with most of those even being at 5 gens. She can't be that weak.

Gone against teams that stick together and/or use lockers? Can't snowball if they literally deny you Victor.
0 -
I have. That's extremely rare though.
If you want to say she's not "strong" when we're referencing against good survivors then sure I can agree with that. However we're not talking about strong, he said she's "weak".
Even against "good" survivors The Twins is still probably in the top 15% of killers at least. So while not strong per say, still better than most the roster in comparison.

Have you ever used Viktor on Lery's? Thats why no one plays them. Also coupled with the fact that you cant switch between them freely to try and discourage camping which they failed to do anyway

I honestly go against those teams (especially lockers) a lot, somehow even more than as Oni, the other killer that tactic (lockers) destroys whose been around for a lot longer and whose counterplay should be more common.
Don't get me wrong, I understand basing a killers strength off the average trial, but the stick together/lockers teams is ever fifth or so trial for me.
1 -
I don't really like her tbh, she's kinda boring to play as but her concept is really cool. I respect Twins players though.
1 -
I'm not saying they're strong based on average trials as I don't think that's legitimate criteria as well.
All I'm saying is that out of most the killer roster which doesn't make it into the "viable" against "good" teams category, The Twins is at least near the top of that non-viable list. Which to me at least doesn't earn them a "weak" tag since if we're gonna call them weak then that means 90% of the entire killer roster we can call weak by those standards.
They'll lose vs good survivors as most the killers would as well, but they'll do a better job than most the roster.
I guess I'm more just pointing out that they're quite underrated and better than most people think. I'd put them a very solid A tier.

I don't think Twins are particularly good agasint decent teams. I'd be a whole lot more comfortable taking Legion or Trapper, because against good teams you may as well not use your power at all except as a little locator/camping totem.

Well typically you can down them before they get to a locker. If they don't try and loop at all and just run straight into the locker then you get a quick hook. If you leave one of them at the hook while you pressure the map then you're guaranteed to catch them away from a locker going for the save. There's just so many times they are not conveniently near a locker.
I'm not saying you're gonna win vs those good teams, just that I think they can pull out much more than I feel like you're giving them credit for.

Their awful launch left a really bad first impression and first impressions are everything. Their most popular play style is hard slugging so that's also a big turn off.
Idk they're just not very appealing apparently.
1 -
I am eternally greatful many people do not play them because they make for a miserable match to go against.

They are also real unfun to learn. Missing with Viktor and getting kicked isn't that big of a deal but it is very frustrating if it happens a lot.
Also survivors can take your power away. And while it is good for you as it turns the game into a 3v1 it does mean you are playing a standert m1 killer. And not even a good one with how much noise her pots and pans make.
When they eventually rework them i hope they look more into the tagteam aspect rather then the be at two places at once aspect.
Things like making it Victor has to be in a certain range of Charlotte but switching between them is instant.

I wasn't here for their launch. What was that like? How did it go wrong? What was the initial impression?
0 -
Charlotte got literaly nothing and trying to aim Victor's pounces while survivors try to run around stuff is not fun. Plus if you miss you are heavily punished. Switching beetween them is always awkward with all the various distance from objects restriction and tons of perks just don't work well for them because of Victor not technicaly being a killer.

The chapter came out with like half it's perks not functioning properly and The Twins being incredibly buggy. Victor would literally become one with the floor and would be rendered useless unless killed. It was bad.
0 -
Ooh. Yeah, I can see that as being a bit problematic. Have people just shunned the Twins ever since? When I first sat down to start downloading the DLC she was high on my list, she just seemed very cool and unique. It was only when I started reading the forums that I learned that she's more or less universally dismissed.
Then again I hear EVERYONE praising Freddy and I've gone against him just as few times. I don't get it.

For me it's the ugly characters; there is just nothing to like for me. I hate their design and every cosmetic they have, until they get something that fixes their look drastically I'm not gonna play them.
Their background story also irks me since it doesn't makes sense. The conjoined twins part is just wrong since the other twin always dies with the other. They should have swept them into the entity's realm once Victor died but in the real world surviving wasn't possible yet Charlotte did.
The power promotes massive camping and slugging something I do not enjoy. I like other killers way more so am not tempted to try the twins out to find a fun playstyle.
I'll buy them one day when they are on a massive discount just for the perks.

- A very flawed and overlooked power, how in their 6-12 months of creation did no one thought of hey what would happen if the survivor got into the locker?
- Garbage perks. hoarder a perk that actually buffs the survivors. coup de grass that was nerfed hard for no reason before it got to live. oppression and alright perk.
- Stairs and hills.
- getting punished when you actually use your power correct, in the ptb you cant do anything for five seconds as youre stuck on victor just standing there waiting to be kicked before you can switch back to charlotte or move again. imagine if the trapper had to stand still for six seconds after someone walks into a trap or oni loses his power and can't do anything after hitting someone with his power, because the devs don't want you to "snowball".
- bugs galore.
- being two places at once isnt as great as it sounds when you still need to get charlotte to slowly make her way to the downed survivors.
While I really appreciate the shake up and the amazing feat that they have done by having a killer that plays like literally no other killer in the game. they're like nurse level game changing in terms of uniqueness. and have the patience for bhvr's shenanigan and messy killer launches, hey I've been here for over five years. But the reality of it is, 99% of the community simply doesn't want to or need to tolerate just how messy the chapter and the perks were.
the perk thing is also probably why we never see them despite how many Elodie's we see in our online matches, because they're not that great. with the plague even when we don't see her, we see her perks get used a lot. Corrupt and infectious despite how rare if they ever showed up on the shrine are one of the more popular perks in the game despite plague having the worse stats all around in 2020. so people did bought her.

also victor sucks sweaty balls withotu charge addons

The two just can't get the attention of the community. I can count the all of the times I've played against them with one hand. I'm sure eventually they'll get some love.

I hope so. I find them to be a welcome refresher after a million bouts against Trickster, Ghostface, Wraith, Spirit and Trapper.

I usually put aesthetic before killer's power when it comes to me liking themand The Twins just aren't that appealing to me. They seem kinda boring.

They have the least appealing and boring design and cosmetics
No fun to play and annoying to play against in my opinion
I don't like anything about them
