what is with the mass spam of anti tinkerer post recently?
where does the sudden complaining about tinkerer come from? Did it get a buff i dont know about?
Comments

I guess because a lot of people have been using it lately.

It did get a buff when Hillbilly and Cannibal got their reworks. Other than that there has been no recent buffs.

It is just what people do I think. I mean there could be a reason like some streamer mentioning it but I think people sometimes just jump on whatever train they see taking off.
I always notice that on forums. It starts slow then you get like tons of nerf threads about something that is really not big of an issue. If dead hard and spirit gets too boring someone has to spice it up so we don't get bored.

I made mine after seeing a streamer unironically take tinkerer over corrupt on trickster.
Must just be a coincidence. That or the Corrupt Ruin Undying Tinkerer Blights came back for a bit pissing people off.

I've hated the perk since the Billy rework I just can't be asked to make a post about it.
I comment about it a lot but that's it.

It’s the “flavor of the month” for some unknown reason, I suppose. This happens with many perks, add-ons or gameplay mechanics.
Previously it was Silent Bell Wraith posts.

Its deserved, its a perk that needs tuning and is unhealthy for the game just like Spine Chill or Iron Will

Tinkerer as a perk isn't really that strong, but if you use it on high mobility killers, it becomes a problem, especially if you combine it with anti-gen perks, such as Ruin or pop.
2 -
Since Undying is a thing I always said that Tinkerer is a problematic Perk. It is nothing new.

Complaints typically go in waves. A few days ago, there were a few noed posts for example.

We can't have nice things. Tinkerer makes it fun near the end of a gen! I don't run it enough

I was in the shrine last week so I think alot more killers have it now

Spine chill is not unhealthy, it makes the game more accessible to people with anxiety.
1 -
Because the combo of tinkerer + undying + ruin is making every game feel the same. This is especially true on blight, who always use the same perks and add ons. There is a lack of perk variety on all killers and survivors, but blight specifically is the biggest offender by far.
1 -
Its unhealthy, a perk that completely ruins multiple killer powers and perks is not healthy for the game.
Im sorry that youre suffering from bad anxiety, but lets be real not many people run Spine Chill because of that reason

Whose power does it ruin?
Myers isn’t undetectable after tier 2
Pig’s stealth is horrible anyway and is hardly used
Wraith is very strong in chase, the stealth isn’t that important
GF exposes you as you stare at him
Any means makes nemesis’ zombies useless, is that perk unhealthy?
Quite frankly, I’m not sure how guaranteed hits/grabs from stealth without a perk to use as counterplay is healthy at all to the game.

Maybe people who post those got jumpscared by tinkerer and lost their mind. I don't mind killers using Tinkerer.

No one is playing Spirit recently since she got bugged, so people stopped making "nerf Spirit" posts and have to complain about something else because they're bored.

Stealth is COMPLETELY ruined by Spine Chill. The whole point of stealth is to catch survivors off guard. With Spine Chill you get a warning that theyre coming. Now people say killers can just turn around to avoid Spine Chill. How ever Myers and Ghost Face have no choice but to look at survivors if they want to use their power.
Perks like Dark Devotion, Trail of Torment or any other Undetectable perk is literally ruined because of Spine Chill and is a huge factor as to why they arent used as much as they should
2 -
Ghostface before the expose? You have to stare at them for quite some time to get the expose. Lol.
I mean, I disagree with your other counter arguments too, but at least it is hard to argue with the fact that their stealth is garbage or limited. But you know, only the worst survivors (or those god loopers that are like, "come at me bro") allow a Ghostface to expose them for free. I consider myself a rank 20 survivor and even I wouldn't just sit there if spine chill was active for more than a second.
Beyond that, his stealth is his power too. He can use it for other stuff than just staring at them, and spine chill does give them an idea that it is happening making it pointless.

There's been like
two.

lol, the reveal mechanic is literally broken
You can stare at him, and nothing will happen half of the time. You really don’t have to stare at a survivor long, only a couple seconds behind cover, and it takes a few seconds to reveal, so the time it takes combined with the awful reveal system makes it very easy to expose survivors. Not that he’s a strong killer, but he’s very frustrating to play against.

I sometimes feel it's just troll parties, because we see a mass influx of threads like that for one single perk, then it rotates to another one.
Tinkerer is just fine....should already or learn to suspect it, esp if yer chunking through gens. I only use Tinkerer on Oni, but it can be great on stealth Killers and ofc, Hillbilly... but it is not a problem.

i saw 5-6 when i posted this, not including reddit and steam

This community periodically needs something new to complain about. This period it's Tinkerer, the next: who knows...

I've been getting a lot of Billy matches lately as survivor and I usually love playing against billy but every one plays him so boringly. Tinkerer, both silent add-ons and it always happens to be on shelter woods or corn maps. I just have to leave the gen at 70% every time and then get backrevved because I can't hear where the charging man with a chainsaw is and I'm out of position
0 -
Because Ruin + Undying + Tinkerer Blight is one of the most run builds at red ranks. It's a broken perk trio, one that is on the same level of boring as "Forever Freddy."
0 -
Because people love to pick a single perk as being the "problem" and needlessly complain about it hoping they get it nerfed. Then they'll complain about the next perk, because some people will never be happy unless the game hands them easy wins.
0 -
Killers are realizing how OP it is so they are using it more and survivors are realizing gens simply can't get done with a tinkerer Blight.
