THE ARTIST COUNTERPLAY
Everyone can post counterplay for the new killer here so she doesn't get nerfed! I'll start: you can blind the crows, dead hard the crows, and jump into a locker. Any new ideas welcome! She's like pyramid head and the twins combined kinda. Weaker version of the twins in terms of using Victor (can't do gens with him on, can't escape, etc. but with the crows you can) And like pyramid head (or any other range killer kinda- maybe even closer to huntress) in terms of hitting from afar.
All counterplay facts or ideas for her are welcome! Just don't want to see another killer nerfed into the ground. Remember, this game is supposed to be a CHALLENGE! It was not intended to be easy for either side, and it is not easy for either side. Personally, I think it is way harder for killer (coming from a survivor main who plays killer too- mainly wraith and spirit.)

Aka waste flashlight juice on a power she's gonna get back in 4 seconds (not to mention your pretty much stationery so she's getting on M1 on you no matter what)
Get grabbed in a locker
Die instantly after you use E since again she gets her power back in like 4 seconds or she zones you in which case you're ######### either way.
Here's one that actually works, you see that W button in your keyboard? Hold that until you get downed works for every killer too since more than half are anti loop 👍

Being unpredictable and using LoS blockers to your advantage so she has to guess when you’ll be in range of the bird to get hit.

Just hide I guess

She has decent counterplay there’s no need to nerf

So... bring flashlights and DH to have counterplay? Great.

Honestly, juke her. Much as you would Nurse. Watching a few streams of people playing against her, and she's far from unbeatable.
She's good but not unbeatable.

She doesn’t have counterplay tbh, just like pyramid head but worse

You said that before I need to say it too :)

This is more like an : don’t nerf my main daddy devs post …
but honestly … this killer sound to be good for :
map control and information
loop / chase
multitasking

Hold w. She is not the type of killer you want to loop.

Once people master her I genuinely don't see how you can play around her power at all. She can zone you so that you go where she wants you to go or you take damage in the loop. Add in the fact that she is 115% with that kind of power worries me. STBFL will make this even nuttier and help lessen the impact of holding W vs her.
I just can't believe she has the potential to deal damage to survivors from across the map through walls. That's a new one. I can't wait to see what people do with Bitter Murmur and BBQ

Its 5/9/12 depending on the amount of crows she used and if you jump in a locker right in front of any killer your going to get grabbed. The ture counter is just w key first crow from what I've seen.

What are you gonna use a flashlight on anyway? Blinding at pallets is pointless and you would rarely get flashlight saves in a match, maybe 2 at best unless the killer is oblivious.

Someone save my butt 3 times in my last match so it can happen. But yeah 1-2 unless your a flash light god.

I do think that maybe been downed because you ran into the crow might be a little to much.

I thought crouching can dodge the crows, but I was wrong. The best one is if you notice she's setting up crows. Use that moment to W away from loops. Just like Trapper doing with his trap at loops.

No need to do this now, save your time.
Just wait to see how much they nerf her power in live servers and then we can talk about this more

Did you just say that Pyramide Head has no counterplay? Serious?
Just play him once and you know what survivors can do against you power even since you can no longer cancle his ability into an auto-hit. Also evading his power is quit possible. Most survivors I faced as Pyramide Head lost because they vaulted or dropped a pallet while I was charging or because they went out of their way to evade torment...
Across the map you can actualy jump into lockers. Her crows can only damage you once you are marked unless you are at close range.
If they want to nerf her this would be the easy way to go: Crows only damage marked targets, the first hit is always a mark. However I do not think this is needed. Her birds are a projectile after all and nerfing the projectile speed would be the way to go as well as removing the damage of stationary crows.

Always repel crows asap if possible
Hold W
0 -
That would suck a lot.
When you use 2 crows you get 9 seconds CD, repel action is 8 second. If they did this, repel action wouth have to be way longer, so you actually have chance to use your power for second time.

Most matches I play when I get baited to remove Lightborn survivors will run up at the last second to blind when picking up someone.....the period when you have no control over the killer.

Hold W until you die?
1 -
This is the counterplay: W.
2 -
Most of my lobbies do that already anyway.

I hope she will get fixed, like Pyramidhead was. Tbh, she's quite overkill right now, even though it's PTB and changes most likely coming upon official release.
