Nothing but blights and spirits with MMR

Played 19 games as survivor yesterday and I did not see Blight, Nurse, Spirit, Hag, Billy, Twins, Trapper, Oni, or Deathslinger....

Remember that you'd have more diversity if survivors stopped begging for nerfs for everything.

Billy would be seeing play and give you more divsersity but a group of people cried so much about him on the forums that he was gutted.

Remember asking for killer nerfs is a monkey paw's wish:

It will always go badly for you in entirely predictable ways.

In this case there's much less killer diversity because of the nerfs.

That's your mistake for listening to pro players and not expirmenting for yourself and walking your own path.

Spirit's counterplay comes from understanding how she thinks and since I'm a Spirit main it's a fair ball game to me. I like taking risk to see how she's playing. Sometimes I'll double back over my scratch marks walking. If she gets me than Ik not to trry that tactic again. Well I'm near the killer shack, I should head for the window or pallet; you know what Spirit is anticipating that so I should change my path and not be preditable. Well I'm at loop and ik for sure she's phasing, instead of running past the pallet trying to loop her I shouild throw the pallet down to try and at least distract her. All in all like I said "Survivor's are mad that she doesn't have consistant counterplay and say she has no counterplay because you can't play a certain way"

"The only fix she needs is to not be able to fake phasing" If you get rid of this, you essentially nerf her whole kit by giving her a indicator and the purpose of her kit is to trick survivor's. Like I said, survivor's want 100% information on what the killer is doing. This is why I say a lot of survivor's wouldn't like fighting games.

"Nurse can't fake it" That is where you are wrong! As a retired Nurse main, Nurse can actually blink into the grown to cancel the movement of her blink. Meaning that your attempt to juke her to force her to over blink was cancelled because she still blinked, but she didn't move. It would be like Spirit phasing in place, but she didn't press WASD

Im a Huntress main, and when i play i never seen any other killers.

Always alone meme.

But that's High Ranks (Grades) for ya....

As someone already stated those are the strong Killers and the rest are weak in comparison

Killers have to face similar Survivor builds and Survivors have to face similar Killer builds... cause that's what High ranks (Grades) are all for/about... and the devs haven't figured out how to make weaker perks acceptable yet

Plus everyone gets reset tomorrow

Do you think that the builds will change just because it's a different killer? That build is all I literally see.

I get it. Players like STRONG things on both sides. Doesn't make them any less boring, that goes for both sides.

When have you seen someone use hoarder before pinhead came out? Ruin+undying=definitely, franklins=only if the survivors had keys. Even if all you see are the same perks the killer is different. ALL killers are unique unlike survivors who all function the same. My point still remains. If you want to face different killers then let the devs buff other killers. What I've noticed from decades of playing games is everyone likes to win and most will use the best tools at their disposal. When word gets around "this is the best <x>" a lot of people will use it. Then the devs nerf it and people then go to the next best thing. The cycle repeats. Instead of nerfing strong killers+combinations ask them to buff other perks and killers so we have more variety.

Yeah and so does mine.

Ruin/Undying is a combo I see in literally almost all killers. Kinda hard to appreciate any "uniqueness" a killer can have when they use the same build over and over. There is a phrase to describe them: One trick Pony.

I personally have never used that combo, b/c I find it boring playing as survivor. No killer should feel like that, and if that is the only build that makes Pinhead strong, then you need to re-evaluate your definition of a strong killer is. Because having Ruin/Undying in your everyday build should not be it.

Then the devs need to address the issue with the survivors rushing gens. Theres a reason killers have to use slow down perks at high mmr. Also survivors use the same 6 perks every game. Its not just killers that run the same build over and over. The difference is they dont need 2nd chance perks because they out number the killer. They can run meme builds and still escape. Killer has less room for experimenting.

Do you honestly think killers would no longer stack slow down perks if gen speed was nerfed?

LOL

I would love to disagree but my goodness you are so right... kinda sad really. This game strives for diversity but the balance just doesn't exist. /cry

Nothing but Blights and Spirits running meta perks? Maybe you should stop running meta perks and tank a few matches.

Just a thought, since rank (and MMR as well) mean nothing. MMR just puts you with people who play like you.

What? The high mobility killers ARE the top tier killers of this game. Nurse/Blight/Spirit/Pre-Nerf Freddy

You're assuming only bad killers think the game should be slowed down. Good killers think this as well. A 100% optimally played killed with Ruin, using....lets just say Blight, as he's the most mobile overall. With Tinkerer. Even if he played 100% optimally, he still would lose 2 gens within the time it took him to down and hook the first survivor.

This is of course very map dependent and a lot of the discussion of game speed has more to do with the MASSIVE disparity between map sizes. You get maps like Azarovs Resting, Dead Dawg, Coal Tower, and it seems like gen speed is okay. Then you get maps like Disturbed Ward, RPD, Mothers Dwelling, Grim Pantry, etc etc, and two survivors can literally do upwards of 60% of a gen before a killer even makes it across the map.

Are you right and saying that killers think slowing down the gems is a bad idea are bad? Yes and No. This is less a generator problem, and more of a massive map imbalance problem. Trapper is (imo) by far the worst killer in this game. But if you give him Dead Dawg with saloon gen not next to the window and gen in main street dead center, he turns into arguably the most powerful killer in the game, able to completely control the entire area with as little as 3 traps.

Gens all progressing at the same speed regardless of the map being 8.5k meters total area or 11.5k meters total area is the problem. Not the the gen progress themselves.

I'd LOVE for them to buff killers. But the entire game balance is completely borked and I 100% think there isn't much they can do about it at this point. Some killers would need entire reworks to be good. Clown, Trapper, Legion, Nemesis.

Other killers are probably just a few stray buffs away from being much better overall killers. The problem is, and ALWAYS has been, we have people balancing this game, who are not good at the game. Devs being BAD at the game makes it impossible to balance said game. They do not listen to PTB testing, they do not listen to good players about things.

It's hard enough to balance a game thats 4v1, especially when the variable skill of the 4 effects the game more than the variable balance of the 1. I don't have an answer for you, because what you say is correct, weaker killers need to be buffed. I just know they have no idea how to do so without absolutely ruining the killer in question.
