You will be missed. Looks like there will be absolutely no reason to play you anymore after this hard nerf. Still no map pressure, way less 1v1 potential, 4.4 killer with no mobility to his kit, higher terror radius, and overshadowed by Huntress and Trickster.

Good job devs for making a killer never to be seen again. Give me one good reason to play Slinger over other killers after this nerf. I’ll wait.

    Going be the updates since.... blight... They will likely push through these whims with minimal changes (if any) and then try to fiddle with it for the next 3-5 chapters because he has become unplayable

    I wouldn't get my hopes up that the devs revert or alter changes they are planning on the ptb. They barely change the things they put on the ptb as it's mostly just to see if there's any bugs they missed to try to fix before chapter release.

    If all of these changes are kept, the only worthy compensation I can think of is making him 4.6m/s. His power simply isn't strong enough without quickscoping to warrant 4.4m/s, especially given the limited range and chain break. It'd even fit with his new 32m TR.

    My head canon is now that Slinger transitioned, caught covid and is now plague. I am a plague main now.

    Don't get me wrong, I do get why he gets nerfs like these but man... He is so not going to be fun to play.

    As a Huntress main I liked to play Slinger sometimes for the feeling of fast shooting he has. Now why should I play a killer that has to reload after every shot, has to waste time reeling, goes through a longer cooldown after a shot and has a limited range when his mechanics work the same as my main killer? I guess he can still use M1 and undetectable perks, and his TR is 13m smaller, but that's about it.

    I agree he needed some changes, he was ass to go against, but at least make him more fun to play as? ADS feels horrible, I'll still probably raise my gun as fast as possible instead of holding it like the devs want to. Just like with Pinhead you want to shoot the chain ASAP instead of holding the gateway.

    People are happy that deathslinger is getting nerfed and plague buffed hehe. Plague was already better than deathslinger and more annoying to play against, it's just not many people play Plague. I think a lot of people will regret being happy about these changes when they realize it's painful to go against Plague.

    32m TR destroys him more then the aim nerf does. The aim nerf alone reduces where and when he can use his spear significantly.

    I'd like to add Demo can cancel shred at any time for a basic though. Doesnt even have to take your hand off the power button.

    At this point they might as well remove the ability to play as killer and just have bots fill in the role.

    the 32 m TR is such a huge deal. now holding W will be even more effective against him.


    Now that we have spirit and DS out of the way, which killers are demanded to be nerfed next?- my guess is blight, nurse, hag and wraith. I actually wouldnt mind a nurse nerf tbh, but i still wouldnt want it.
