Is nemesis weak?

I haven’t played the game in months, when the PTB announcement came out I played for 2 days. As of right now I don’t have the chapter but people are saying he’s weak... fill me in on this guys.

    A weaker version of pyramid head but with an RNG factor that is sometimes your sole saving grace in a match.

    Its not that he is weak its just the fact that he feel weak cause of his power. Most of the time its better to just M1 unless the survivor are jumping a window or any animation but at that point you are better playing with PH. The infected status effect is worthless yes survivor do more noise but that all at least with plague they become broken after a while.

    The zombie are not great either in an open map no way they are usefull they are there for you to tier up. In a close map they are better they can block door and thing like that but most of the time at least for me the zombie get stuck in the door and cant patrol anymore. The zombie are not all negative they give you free tracking if the survivor run in front of them and they can infect the survivor and hit them they hit them only if the survivor is bad.

    He is not a bad killer just the game have some killer he do his job better if i were to put him in a tier list he will probably be low B or C tier at best.

    He's not weak, but he's not really strong either.

    Tentacle Strike has a lot of downsides to it, Huge CD for missing, Huge CD for cancelling, precise hitbox, and requires to 3 hit survivors at the start. Doesn't help survivors get a speed boost when hit by a tentacle strike that doesn't damage them. It's not a bad power, but it doesn't need all the negatives attached to it.

    He doesn't have any good addons and none of his ok addons really do anything significant. He's also plagued with useless addons as well.

    He could use some minor adjustments as he's almost in a perfect spot.

    He's still new hard to tell anyone screaming he's weak are just trying to gain another Freddy.

    So far to me he seems Low A/High B tier. Range attack starts off weak with the 3 hits needed but becomes worth it if you're accurate after you've contaminated the survivors.

    You can force survivors to run into your zombies if your zombies are close by, something that can be extremely useful especially if they're already contaminated.

    Otherwise, he has very little map pressure as his zombies are rarely able to get a suprise hit but can keep survivors off generators for a short amount of time.

    I'll need to play him myself, but he's definitely loopable.

    I wouldn't say he's weak, but he is a more balanced version of Pyramid Head. Some people even think Pyramid Head is weak tho so take from that what you will.

    A weaker zoning option to Pyramid & Demo, but the criticism the guy is currently getting is pretty overblown. A buff so that survivors don’t get a sprint burst when they get infected and a better A.I., Nemesis is a pretty good darn killer.


    I’m confident to say that I think he’s low A-tier. Not as great for zoning as some other options, but pretty damn effective.

    He's a D tier killer, C if you're feeling generous. You start off weak as hell, you speed boost survivors away to get your power but you dont damage them, survivors can get vaccines to make it so you have to do another m2 to damage them, your only rewards for ranking up is breaking pallets which is good and 1m extra which doesnt matter much. Zombies are 99% of the time tracking info that you can't do anything with and sometimes they work as a trapper trap. Too bad it's rng.

    Anyone putting him up in mid C and higher have a very warped outlook on the game.
