I'm a good survivor. I can hold W and press space to counter most killers easily but why doesn't this work against Spirit? This is unfair! Why do I have to use more than two braincells when I play against this killer? Why can't I just keep doing the same things I do vs every other killer? Countering a killer by making reads and playing smart is too much effort and it doesn't work 100% of the time. I just want to press space and be safe. Behaviour, fix this pls!

    I don't find Spirit as bad as people say, but at least contribute something remotely interesting.

    I think BHVR should buff spirit. I cant play her anymore since they removed the in-phase collision. She actually demands some guessing (and good headphones) now and some spirits in my games even get 0 k only. Thats unacceptable.

    Aight whos alt is this.

    Fr though a really good spirit player and maybe some adjusted audio settings here and there and good add ons can be incredibly hard to counter. Keep in mind this is a GOOD spirit as most spirits I come across aren't very good and even mediocre ones can be easily beaten in chase.

    Against a good spirit, you're good as dead once you're injured. Juking doesn't do anything most of the time because she can hear what you're doing, it's not a guessing game when she knows what you're doing. So basically, you're defaulted to taking hits since good spirits will always know what you're doing.

    To add on, the other half of the frustration comes from the fact she just appears ontop of you. Unlike other killers who you can visually see catch you and how they do so. Spirit, she just appears on you without any clue on how she did so. So when you get hit, you're like... Wow, okay, just got hit randomly. But say a Billy, you're like... Ah, he predicted my movement and curved me.

    This thread is thought provoking, profound. Don't mind the noise sweetie.

    Also, there was a haiku that was made by a wonderful user of the forum. I am just so proud to be a part of an amazing and talented community.

    Oh no I have no idea what she's doing it must be because I'm bad at the game.

    What, you don't use wallhack cheats so you can see her coming when her insanely quick arse sprints at you for a hit that you can't react to even though you have Super Secret Wallhacks?

    (Seriously people, don't hack, I'm just being a sarcastic ######### to illuminate the fact that she wouldn't have counterplay even is she didn't have stealth)

    I do find it hilarious how people still argue about balance as if this was a 1v1 game. "Counterplay" happens on the entire map. All 4 survivors are contributing to beating the killer as a team.

    The sad truth is, this game has no functional MMR system and thus we end up with the majority of Solo Q teams being inefficeint and bad. You don't balance around bad teams.

    Also, you don't need to see where exactly Spirit is in order to make a goddamn read. It's called game sense. If you're trying to react to a spirit coming out of her phase you're already doing it wrong.

    PS: The first post took a minute to write and creating this account took another minute. Why would I need a lot of spare time for that?
