Dear BHVR, please stop doing this

What ? You think Blight and Oni don't have the ability to dominate chase as hard as killers like twins or slinger assuming they play extremely well, just like correctly played slinger or twins ?

Of course they do, perfectly played Oni and Blight are just as impossible to beat in chase as is slinger. That's the thing though, nobody plays any of all the killers you mentioned perfectly, everyone makes mistakes playing them as their power's all have some weaknesses and require killers to outplay a survivor, they're not just a free "I win the chase pasively" like old legion was, they need to predict a survivor correctly or get them into unfavorable spot for their powers to work.

Honestly, people are just cherry picking which killers they don't like and tell their powers are problematic while ignoring the the same things for other killers they don't mind. Don't pretend like blight or Oni are in A tier or even S tier while beiing weaker in chase then killers like slinger or twins. They're not, in almost all loops, good blight can force a free hit if he's playing perfectly that requires survivors to make the same prediction he needs to do vs slinger, very reliant on killer failing at a mindgame that's in their favor.

There's nothing wron with any of these killers, some people don't like facing them, others do. All of them require intelligent imput from the killer to earn a hit and have limitation and weaknesses survivors can exploit to beat them even if odds are stacked against them (which makes it ever more satisfying).

I would agree that we've had a lot of chase oriented killers lately and something more original or just different would be nice to see but there's nothing wrong with them. Strong chase killers were in DBD since the beggining, that's nothing new and calling something "unfair" or "unfun" is a argument more based on personal preferences then actul objectivity.

Your definition of fun seems to be specifically 'if the killer can be looped very successfully by playing Ring Around the Rosie around the same structure 6x before throwing the pallet and moving onto the next one', and all the killers you take issue with are ones that force the survivor to move on much earlier by making vaults and pallet drops unsafe if the killer is facing you from a short distance away when you take it.

Thing is, running in circles wasn't exactly fun for the killer when the survivor was any good at it, so I have to question if this definition of 'unfun' even matters. I have way more fun playing these types of killers because I'm allowed to be more chill about it and I have more options when faced with a very skilled survivor - meanwhile, smart survivors will use different kinds of maneuvers to evade me and burn my time. Like with PHead and Nemesis, good survivors will try to bait me into using my power by faking out a window vault or feinting in one direction and then juking the other when I commit, or they'll run extremely tight angles, or they'll even turn around and run past you to avoid the hitbox. Plague, survivors lead me to high wall structures and run me around corners for as long as possible. (For the record, I find Nurse the most fun killer to run from, and she'll kill you in 0.5 seconds if you try to standard loop her. Can't loop =/= boring.) If other killers with weaker chase powers have other benefits, and picking a killer who can end a chase early isn't an instant game win for the killer, I don't really see how this is a problem.

The only killer in this list that I have issues with are the Twins, and that list of complaints goes well beyond chase interactivity with Victor.

They stay interactive IF they make mistakes, same goes for slinger / twins. I'll just never understand why do people think that one strong chase killer can be outplayed while another one can't be.

What do you do in a short loop vs slinger ? You duck or stop at breakpoints where you think he'll probably shoot or try to mindgame with a pallet stun. Very risky and unlikely to be won by a survivor but that's because they're in a loop that favors the killer, once in shack or a jungle gym, it gets significantly easier as high walls allow you to stall him much longer if you undestand how he works and play your cards right.

What do you do in a sgor loop vs blight ? You pray to gods that he doesn't have direct close by rubble to bounce off (which at least 75% of the time he has) as that's give him a hit the same way slinger gets it, very favored towards him, 100% on him to miss basically. If he doesn't have easy rubble to bounce off, you loop him for 2-3 round, drop pallet, he breaks it and is instantly on you againt forcing you to dodge a rush attack that's extremly favored towards him. Again, in jungle gyms, shack etc, it gets fairer as those structures have more stuff to work with.

For both, the interactivity comes from predicting what they'll do which is hard and unreliable if they play well. Both have high enough skill requirements to not just get hits for free, just the mindgames looks different but in the end, play out about the same as their powers are very strong in chase when mastered.

I'll just never be able to agree with these statements that some strong chase killers are fair while others are unfair when their powers can earn hits about the same, just with a different flavor.

For me, they're all fun as there's nothing more boring then looping powerless M1 killer imo. I'll be glad to take and enjoy all the killers with active chase powers, be it slingers, blights, PHs, nurses or spirits.
