The Twins Nerf
Hello, I'm a Rank 1 Twins Mains in a very long invested time in the killer I only play Twins because I don't really enjoy playing any other Killer if I'm being honest and theres no other like them in this game.
So talking about the Twins nerf, after trying to reach out to BHVR on Twitter and Reddit and finding no success in that I went to a Developer stream and asked about recent Twins nerf and for him they were perfectly fine and had no idea of what could have they changed instead of successful pounces so I will give you some help.
If you really want to nerf The Twins these are the Key points you should look into:
- Revert Sucessful pounce nerf;
- Increase Viktor exaustion time after failing a Pounce from 3s to 5s;
(This way you will punish bad Twins players).
- Increase Viktor recharge time instead of being 6 seconds make it 12 seconds;
(This way Survivors that actually steal Viktor from you make you weak, and it's also a nerf if you let Viktor get kicked stopping chains this way).
- Decrease Viktor Idle time instead of him being able to Idle for 90 seconds make it 30 seconds;
(Often bad Twins players leave Viktor inside hook range, nerf his idle time to 30 seconds that way they have to check on him and move out the hook range in order to change back to Charlotte).
I don't believe you need to nerf all the aspects I mentioned above since Twins is not a popular killer and most people don't understand how to play them and find them very bad but since you want to make a negative change to the character I think those are the Key points tor really hurt a Twins player.
What did this change do to The Twins:
- After a successful pounce Viktor gets very very slow and walking away is not even an option since they can kick him right away so I don't understand why was that even added if anyone tried The Twins before they were launched they knew how bad they did to the Killer;
- If I down an isolated Survivor the time it takes for me to change back to Charlotte is absurd I legit just stare to my monitor waiting for the Key prompt to show up.
- After nerf if a Survivor started kicking Viktor and the exaustion effect was almost over the kick would be canceled punishing the Survivor, in the current patch they can start kicking you in last milisecond and you get killed no matter what.
- After downing a survivor Viktor walks so slow for the 2 seconds period added that it feels like Im playing the Pepsi game on my PS1 again.
Overall I know they won't be reverted since we don't have enough Twins players but it's really sad that you destroyed the killer this way I haven't play Dead by Daylight since I tested they changes for 2 days in a row for more than 8 hours I simply don't enjoy them anymore they feel clumsy, not rewarding to play and easy to counter since I have to run across the map to pick survivors up and by the time I reach there they are already up.
Sorry for my bad english grammar have a great day.

I do like their design as I said I don't like to play any other killer, but I believe other people find a lot of weakness in them I do to I learned how to go around them, but yeah def agree with you on the second part of the sentence

They need to also buff Victor's latching on mechanic because it's not as effective as slugging hence why every Victor slugs.
-Increase the remove timer from 8 to 10, so it's the same as the locker remove timer.
-Survivors can no longer run while removing him. Walking or standing still available.
-Have a small debuff of some kind. Perhaps 3-5% hindered effect or reduced vaulting speed.
Any tweaks and buffs to encourage other play-styles such as tag-teaming should be implemented because I just find slugging too boring even though I know they're very effective at it. My favorite type of gameplay is to lockdown a certain part of the map probably the main building. Putting Charlotte to block a window/door or right under a drop point and use Victor to chase them down & switching back to her when they least expected it.

I do agree with that kind of buffs but right now I'm not even asking for it, I just want them to revert Twins nerfs, I agree that stealing Viktor from charlotte should hard punish survivors and I absolutely like your point of view on Twins. And yes that playstyle is one of my favorite too I tag team with them to kill a survivor basically I lead them to either charlotte or viktor and tag team them to death people that play twins for a long period of time start to understand how powerful they are most of people just identify twins as weak because they don't know what the killer is capable of doing but nerfing effective pounces is not they way to go imo.

Honestly i just started playing twins,im a billy main but now i found a new killer i find fun to play. Sadly they destroyed billy he isnt fun anymore,are the twins that bad compared to before i had never tested them ?

Hello, glad that you found Twins fun, yes they are in a very poor state after the nerf it impacted them in ways people not used to them can't even imagine, it's still playable and for me to lose a Twins game is very hard since I have a lot of hours with them but they are not satisfying to play anymore because they feel clumsy and awkward. I'm sorry for billy :(
