These are the newest reworks and added things to the game I looked through them and removed ones that were reworks or a change of rarity. And found 7 things they changed that were not in favor of the killers.

Also it should be mentioned that not a single survivor got buffed! Some of the names of the items perks ect have been changed but not a single buff! I don't play as survivor alot but as a killer main I can nearly always get a 4k without camping tunneling or needing of underhanded tactics. It's sad af to see all those buffs given to killers and they are still so bad at the game they have to come here and complain or camp and tunnel... These are not nerfs!

I did fine with him, but I always played him the way he was nerfed to. Was never much of a quick scoper. The ADS mindgame is super clunky now, but it definitely still works.

How is irrelevant? Unless deathslinger has always been terrible that makes no sense! Also I don't think its Deathslinger that's bad I think its you that's bad. Maybe get better at that character or use different add ons or perks? Maybe play a different character? Idk whatever makes you feel better about being bad at the game.

You are saying that because you can't play your way its crap? Lol omg I have never seen someone think bad about a character when it's so obvious that they can't use those perks and add ons very well (most likely due to using an easy route) that they see this as the characters flaws and not their own! You don't know how to use those perks or add ons so you think Deathslinger sucks... when it's you that doesn't know or want to know another way to use that character lmao

Lmao you don't use that so he must be a bad character! Lmao I'm dying! You are bad at Deathslinger because you can't or won't use other perks or add ons! Not Deathslinger but you! Lmao

I genuinely don't see why anyone would play Deathslinger over Huntress, unless you're in it for the aesthetics. Horrible balance decisions.

you do realize that survivors themselves don't get buffs since they are generally the perks they use right,

also in which case survior buffs entail

Vigil: Recovery bonus increased to 20/25/30% (was 10/15/20%). Added Broken, Exposed, and Oblivious to the status effects modified by the perk.

Guardian (formerly Babysitter): Added a 7% Haste status effect for the rescued survivor. Removed the Killer seeing your aura. Killer aura visibility for you increased to 8 seconds (was 4 seconds).

For the People: Reduced the duration of the Broken status effect to 80/70/60 seconds (was 110/100/90 seconds)

Windows of Opportunity: Increased effective range to 24/28/32 meters (was 20 meters). Removed cooldown after vaulting / dropping a Pallet.

Repressed Alliance: Generator repair requirement reduced to 55/50/45 seconds (was 80/70/60 seconds)

Built to Last – Reworked: After hiding inside a Locker for 14/13/12 seconds with a depleted item in hand, 99% of its charges are refilled. Each use of Built to Last reduces the amount of charges refilled by 33%. Added stinger audio when item charges are refilled

Any Means Necessary: Added effect: You can see the auras of dropped pallets

No Mither: Grunts of pain reduction increased to 25/50/75% (was 0/25/50%). Added effect: Your recovery speed is increased by 15/20/25%

all of which are buffs to potential playstyles and make a lot of perks more powerful for their slot

It was not just brought up yes he had alot of additional Buffs and I think 1 or 2 nerfs maybe but some are more of an exchange than a nerf and others are just Reworked perks and add ons. I brought up perks because if you can't get kills with the killers main perks then switch them out with other killers perks or different add ons you are not used to using. They made perks available to different killers from different killers for a reason. Everyone has a different play style and everyone can do better with perks that best suit them and what they are trying to accomplish. If you are using a set of perks that are not doing well for you then switch them out! These guys are saying that Deathslinger it's self is bad because they choose not try other things to make it easier or to get the desired goal. Instead they say the killer is bad when it is clearly that they are just mad that they can't breeze through things anymore.

But they aren't saying that they aren't using other things. There saying the basekit is bad. Specifically the Base Terror Radius and the Aiming Pickup and Put Down speed both of which can't be changed by addons nor perks.

Yea but you don't have to attack him about it you could just be more suggestive and recommend he tries a few new builds or playstyles or just switches off deathslinger for a bit and maybe broaden his horizon since its a good time to do so

I said Pick up and Put down Aiming or I guess a better way to say it is ADS. I'm not saying reloading. Also do you know that there not using different addons/perks or are you assuming?

Ight.. now les see this in action against good survivors...

Bet you won't get more than three hooks by the time the 5th gen is done lol

No offense to him but it really doesn't look like english is his first language.

I have already played and aside from a few things it seems ok got mostly 4ks but a few got me good I accept the challenges. I like challenges! It's a shame more killers aren't like that. They just cry when they can't get kills instead of find another way. I will admit tho Trapper was the least unbalanced character I have seen. I'm happy killers got all the buffs but it's sad to see so many winning in here.
