I feel like there’s only like 7 of us Spirit mains left

I am a former Spirit main. Does that count?

I havent seen Spirit in many weeks even before the patch. But I hvae seen her 2x after the patch so from my point of view there are way more Spirits than before

I have been playing her a lot more since the update as well.

I am enjoying her new chase theme.

It seems as though she still has a bad stigma about her and her high risk/high reward gameplay still deters some players. Though I think if we give it some time people will start to like her more!

they probably did because the DC penalty is disabled. There's been lots and lots of DCS.

Behaviour didn't put much effort into her changes. Almost all changes were made to please survivors and not only to address her chaotic gameplay.

She became just as difficult for new players as Nurse is and this is why you will going to see less people playing her.

Every game you get is on RPD at this point

I'll probably be playing Spirit more now that infinite loading screens are fixed. Since she has some more counterplay now, I'll feel less guilty playing her.

I never really played her a lot because I found annoying to have to be in a very quiet environment to play her properly but in my case I enjoy her new purple crutch addon that gives you killer instinct. I hope it doesn't become a dead killer, I enjoyed playing against her because for some reason the majority of spirits I played against were pretty bad.

I’ve mained Spirit ever since her released. I’ve always loved everything about her and nothing has changed. I don’t play her as often though because I usually cycle through what killers I play because I play around 70% of the roster on rotation.

Just haven’t been playing as much especially now due to infinite loading screens and me being burnt out.

I'm going to put this politely but very stern.

"I told you so!"

Her fun factor is gone, survivors essentially have easy mode to counter her, and like all killers except Nurse she has to rely on survivors mistakes/not listening to win a chase.

And the game is better for it.

I'm a main and sad at the very few spirits i've also seen

As a Deathslinger man, I feel the latter statement... I keep getting an unnatural amount of DCs even after his unnecessary nerf and it's like WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT??

Ha, never played slinger much, did they just make him clunky as hell to play and be done with it?

No worries @TheGannMan I gotchu. I still regularly play Spirit.

I've always said he needed some changes to improve his QoL state, but in my sincere opinion this was so much of an overkill. I understand some frustrations Survivor mains had though, in retrospective, the reason nobody knew how to counter him was because not many people used him. He had an overall pickup rate of 6% (this was according to some data they released before the release of the All-Kill Chapter) which, in contrast, Huntress had about 30%.

I agree he needed a cooldown on cancelling ADS because it was so absurdly easy to just cancel your power and go for an M1 and I feel forcing players to commit to the ADS animation was an OKish addition, but doubling the time to do wasn't... it feels really sluggish which, added to the sensitivity increased the overall difficulty to play him far too much to make him enjoyable. Now, you are being forced to do zoning. If they intended to make it this way, I feel his stun should be reduced further...

However, the worst addition was the 32m terror radius. I didn't use Monitor and Abuse before, but now I feel forced to do in every match because most Survivors will run into the closest loop at the faintest hint of the terror radius and with his reduced mobility he is difficult to catch onto them in most maps. I am slowly getting the hang of mindgaming shoots here and there, but it's painful. If anything, I think they should've fixed it to 28m instead.

Overall, he still has a strong 1v1. In that aspect, he isn't hopeless, but if I intend to get kills into a match I am forced to tunnel someone early on and I so don't enjoy doing that. Therefore, I'm stuck in giving 5 hooks.

Yes, yes they did...
