Are you guys predicting a Nemesis nerf or buff?
When they look at the Resident Evil chapter and decide to throw some changes at Nemesis do you think they will be buffs or nerfs? Not so much based on the actual power level of Nemesis himself but more so the perception of him? Of course Hillbilly didn't need to be nerfed but they did anyway. Do you think there's more of a push for a buff or a nerf?

I don’t think they should do anything, he is fine as he is.

I'm asking for your prediction on BHVR buffs or nerfs, not if he needs any.
3 -
No idea. I'd like if tier 3 actually did something to the point survivors might want to consider trying to stop him getting it. Currently you only want to stop him getting tier 2 which he will anyway. Maybe tier 3 should be something much stronger but temporary and repeatable, like myers
like a rocket launcher4 -
Neither, he’ll receive tiny changes and that’s it

Looking at BHVR's past balance decisions I predict nerfs
5 -
Reading comprehension please
2 -
He needs buffs, but knowing BHVR he'll get nerfed. As well as Pig
3 -
I mean... it's kinda hard to see how they'd even nerf him.
A tiny "buff" to zombies, aka making them smarter would be a start but considering how bouncy Blight is i'm not holding my breath.
Also removing the speed boost on infection...

I think you are right, usually when they release a licensed character they do so under the impression its strong, then they cut them down on then next balance mid chapter patch, just look at Freddy, Ash and MoM, PH zoning, GF stalk refresh removed, Pig because why not, i think the weakest licensed character release was Demo since they had to rework shred to destroy pallets.

He needs buffs badly. They won't touch him for two years, then he will get buffed, and then nerfed again after 6 weeks.

Buff. While he isn't a terrible killer the zombies are dreadful compared to the ptb and he has the issue of being addon dependent if you wish to hit tier 3 and get use out of it. Basically up the default of his tier up and reduce the addons. Similar treatment to most killer get.

Buff - Tentacle strike to infect only not damage doesnt give survivor speed boost
Maybe some little addon changes
1 -
You think that's going to happen or is that just what you want?
1 -
He needs a buff, But he is probably going to get a nerf.
1 -
Both
I dont necessarily want it but i can also predict they might change the zombies to be more consistent

🤣 You know bhvr by now, most likely there Will be nerfs incomming
1 -
Shut up please
1 -
Nahhhhhh
0 -
Yeahhhhh
1 -
Nahhhhhh, but I do apologize I was being a dick.
1 -
He needs buffs but seeing as it's BHVR, they'll probably nerf him
3 -
Buff! His power is pointless, survivors have zero incentive to vaccinate themselves.
Survivor mains will state: But they cough, and zombies are attracted to that…
Yet, so does the injured state!
You’re better off punching survivors with Nemesis, with the exception where TS can hit them, but a punch cannot. That’s literally the extent of his power.

Okay I’m also sorry

Not remotely true, Devs aren't Survivor-sided.
2 -
I don't think he needs anything that badly, but he's a tad undertuned. So if anything I'd expect a slight buff to either his T3 stage, or the Infection status on survivors.
1 -
He need little changes.
Zombies are stupid, make them little smarter.
Remove speed boost for infect hit.
And my boi Nemesis will be okey.
Edit: Actually him red add-ons are trash. They need rework.
2 -
How many times you played with him?
0 -
probably going to either make a infection hit with the tentacle and zombies not give a speed boost OR make the tentacle and zombies infect and injure
but then again this is BHVR we're talking about so who knows
0 -
Probably a buff and a couple of nerfs so..he will be nerfed. I have not played him because I'm on console and have heard bad things, so I'm not sure how good/bad he is but from what others say C-tier perhaps? That is enough for them to nerf a new killer.
0 -
I think they'll buff and nerf him. I'm guessing:
Buff:
- Zombie AI
- Zombie Speed
- Add-ons (most next year)
- Range of mutation 3.
Nerf:
- Charge to mutation 3. No idea why but usually they buff and nerf every killer.
1 -
They'll do both, but it'll be utter nonsense, useless, and do nothing to change how he actually functions.
1 -
Probably a demo style buff then get nerf next patch

I predict they are going to adjust ai pathing logic so they dont stare at trees for the entire game and then change his addons because they are pretty bad
2 -
BUFF. Enough said.
0 -
He needs a buff but BHVR is too irrational to predict.
0 -
both, they'll remove the speed boost that survivors get and nerf his whip with a longer cooldown or something
0 -
I think he'll get buffed somehow. Possibly an increased hindered penalty, I'll guess that it'll make the sprint burst half as effective.
I could see him getting a minor addon pass.
0 -
No. Please don't do this, we already have Myers and I like my extra reach on tier 3. Nemesis is fine; learn to play him and quit begging for buffs, because the buffs for Killers always come with ill-conceived nerfs elsewhere that entirely ruin the Killer.
0 -
If the zombies didn't get stuck on half the objects in this game that would be cool, so by technicality, a buff by getting the zombies to actually patrol the map.
0 -
? I made this comment ages ago. I still think tier 3 is underwhelming but I'm not massively invested in it. I played him, got my adept, unlocked the perks and am back to my regular killers.
0 -
I predict a buff, and a heavy coding update for the AI of the zombies....and hopefully some heavy code updates on terrain collision so they stop getting stuck in stupid #########.
I also predict that we're a long way from getting any type of add on pass on him even though a majority of his add ons are just....plain bad...like...they make no sense whatsoever and are impractical or don't really matter. Like the ones that boost infection rate....trash....

I expect a buff, or at least the zombies get fixed, but looking at what they did to Trickster I'm scared.
