Nemesis has a useless power, and ways to fix it
Due to his power giving survivors another health state the only time it is ever worth using is when hitting over a pallet or loop which does not happen often enough to warrant it being the entire power. If you only use the power then it becomes slightly more useful at tier 3 saving you about a second or two more of gaining ground on the survivor but by that time you've already lost the match by extending every first chase by who knows how long since survivors have an extra hit to loop. Other than that tier 3 is not useful. In almost every situation it is better to M1 making him essentially a standard M1 killer with practically no power.
The only way to make his power useful would be to either remove the speedburst from a contamination hit, reduce the powers cooldown to 3s in tier 1, 2.5s tier 2, and 2s tier 3, (right now its 2.5 across the board) or make the contamination hit injure.
Having a killer with a useless power is no fun, which sucks because the power would be awesome if it was just slightly better than M1 instead of being worse unless they're on the other side of a pallet. Also zombies are awesome and a cool idea just make them less buggy.

I thought so too until I went against a good Nemesis. He was almost impossible to avoid.

that wasnt a good killer that was a good player. A good player can 4k with clown at rank one sometimes but that doesnt mean the killer is good or even well made.

That's not useless at all. At mutation 3 the big majority of loops become unsafe since the tentacle can hit through pallets and vaults. When I play Nemesis I rarely go for M1.

Not in my experience. however that could just be the laggy servers right now making killers move slower than survivors like 30% of the time

the 3 changes that he needs to become strong:
- No sprint burst after contamination hit
- The detection add on fixes his zombies being useless - and I know since I’ve compared with and without it for like 20+ games. The difference between having the add on and not having it is drastic.
- Buff the base mutation he gets per tentacle hit.
