Nemesis, a Mutating Bioweapon

I love Nemesis. He was my favourite boss when I played RE: Operation Raccoon City, and I love him so much in DBD he was the first Killer in DBD that I wanted to get to P3. I have been playing him a lot, played quite a bit against him and he does need some improvements. I already made a separate post about what I thought Nemesis needed, however after more thinking and experience I have come up with some new changes that I think could really help Nemesis.

Tentacle Strike:

• Fix his Tentacle Strike hitbox. At times it misses when it should have hit and vice versa.
• The main issue with the tentacle is it lacks 0 vertical capabilities. When aiming the tentacle, your camera is locked horizontally and when you do use the ability, survivors just need to duck in order to avoid it. This is especially obvious when a survivor goes over a vault and crouches immediately, the tentacle will miss. It's annoying as hell for the Nemesis player and needs to be fixed. Not to mention, the tentacle should also be allowed to hit upwards and downwards, should the Nemesis be aiming at someone on a different elevation.

Mutation

Next is his Mutations. His Tiers I and II are fine, tier I is basic, nothing special, tier 2 is a definite power increase and is fine. But tier III is not worthy of being a final tier, the extra meter is nice, but it doesn't scream 'he hit his final power spike'. I have a few ideas on how to make tier III more interactive and actually feel like you are this bio weapon that has rapidly mutated.

• Allow Tier 3 to hit multiple entities at once.
• Another change that might help Nemesis is simply giving tier III reduce cooldowns on missed hits (30% like unrelenting).
• Add to his mutation system small passive bonuses that scale with Tier, e.g.
  • No bonuses at tier 1.
  • Tier 2 gives the Nemesis 10% stun reduction and 15% reduced light burn duration. (Increased to 20 and 25% in Tier 3)
  • Tier 3 gives the Nemesis increased lunge range and vault speed as well as a 1%/1.5% increased movement speed for each contaminated survivor. (Survivor must be alive)

Zombies, Contamintaion & Vaccines

As the above changes focus on what possible changes could be made to the Mutation of the Nemesis, next we move onto the source of his power, the contamination. As it currently stands, contaminating a survivor doesn't really do much, it makes them cough a little and makes zombie a little more threatening. As the above changes already allow the Nemesis to have much more power on his own, the next step is tying the Zombies into his kit more.

To do this, we should make it so that whenever a survivor becomes contaminated, any Zombie not in a chase will begin pathing towards that survivor. This simple change will help the Zombies become a more active part of the Nemesis' kit. To make sure this change won't be too oppressive to the survivors, the vaccines will receive a buff where for 20 seconds after vaccinating, the survivor can no longer become contaminated and are 'invisible' to Zombies. What this means is that zombies will ignore recently vaccinated survivors actions that are not 'loud'. For example, it will ignore healing noises and walking in front of them, but missing skill checks and running still triggers them.

All the above changes I feel could potentially make Nemesis a great killer as well as give him more control over his whole kit and give survivors more ways to strategically use the vaccines to their advantage.
