Which killer gets the most undeserved nerf demands?

    Depends on your perspective really. So many top meta killers rely on those certain builds and playstyles in order to maintain their top tier status. Base kit wise, I’d honestly have to say my boy doctor. And I say that with a lot of love. His base kit intel got a nerf thanks to shadow step. It’s interesting to see what the devs do to fix the survivor imbalances.


    Also: First comment lol.

    Pinhead and Twins are definitely up there. Both need serious help, not nerfs to pander to new survivors who will likely never play against them again post-nerf.

    Wraith, Doctor, Nemesis (I tend to see more about him on Twitter than anywhere else), and Plague.

    You’re talking about the same people that:

    • Nerfed Pig a thousand times.
    • Said Clown was potentially a top tier killer.
    • Said OoO wasn’t effective because it had a low escape rate.
    • Thought making a UI where all the elements are scattered across the screen was a good idea.
    • Made RPD the way it turned out.
    • Released the Twins completely unfinished and on top of an update with thousands of bugs.
    • Etc.

    So I don’t wanna even hear the devs’ words as an argument on that.

    They have more data than we do. They don’t just nerf things for no reason... Wraith needed the changes he got.

    Don’t you think the people that actually play the game have more valid opinions than people that don’t play the game and just have meaningless statistics? It is an objective fact, I’m sorry.

    I hate to break it you but I’ve seen you around the forums and haven’t one time seen you have an opinion favoring the killer side. All I’ve seen from you is statements that benefit survivors so do you even care about the fun of killers like at all?

    I play both sides equally. I’ve played Wraith and his lunge was insane and it did need nerfed. Wasn’t fun playing against him either in my opinion. I defend the survivor side a lot because the killer side make it seem like it’s almost impossible to play killer and that they face SWF death squads every game. Those things simple aren’t true. I feel like the game is much more balanced than people think.

    I think the game is decently balanced too (although not in the right ways). You say that you defend survivors because killers complain constantly which is true, but don’t act like survivors don’t complain just as much. They DC or kill themselves if things don’t go their way which is what boosts Wraith’s stats up. Just because you don’t find a killer fun doesn’t mean they deserve a nerf. Wraith was fine where he was at but survivors that didn’t want to learn how to play against him and instead cried to the devs that everything is OP. Killers do this too, but again, don’t act like survivors are completely innocent.

    Pinhead. His design is inspired and creates a secondary objective for the survs to play toward in order to succeed.

    Unfortunately, so many survs complain because he prevents them from just genning.

    They say he doesn't let them play the game. That's totally the wrong way to think about it. He's offering them an additional game. Rather than learn how to play that, they insist on nerfing him back to boredom because they can't deal with learning something new and breaking the routine they're used to.

    It's a real shame.

    Deathslinger, I guess? Pretty obscene what happened to him.
