Please Stop! Artist is fine!
I am tired of people saying she's overpowered, dude. She's mid-Low A and very high B
The only nerf they should do if they have to nerf her is make it so crows no longer damage you on the first crow, no matter what

She is perfect exactly the way she is now yes.
But if people were too adamant about the first crow damage hit and wanted it removed, she should also get a cooldown buff so that she can use more crows more often to offset such a big nerf that imo she doesn't need.

They shouldn't nerf anything about her
6 -
Your nerf suggestion would almost kill her outright. She'd be a weaker Nemesis.
She's very strong as she is.
And that is a good thing.
No nerfs needed.

I have played as her and she is really fun to play as however I have yet to go up against her or play on the new map but I agree she has more counterplay that just hold w as I have been looped by people as artist.

She’s completely fine the way she is now. If anything, she needs a buff!!

I have bearly seen anyone say she needs a nerf. I have seen the opposite actually. She is fine. She doesn't need a nerf nor a buff.

Most people seem to agree she's fine.
It's actually really refreshing to see so little NERF/BUFF post about a killer that was just released

Please, for the love of god, let the devs think she's fine too.
0 -
yeah cooldown maybe -3 seconds
0 -
agreed.

I think the damage crow is fine, it's 8m and a straight line. If they do nerf that though, they can increase the repel time to 12-15 seconds seeing as it doesn't damage on first hit.
Generally think they will nerf the distance the crows travel though, cause god forbid stealthy survivors can't sit on gens and urban away anymore. XD

I don't like nothing about this killer. The fact that her crows can go everywhere is ridiculous.
1 -
She is fine, guys... the fact she can sniper anyone through walls, anywhere, any map no matter how far the gen are and also have the massive BBQ perk making it way "easier"... it blows my mind how she are only a B tier killer.
Just follow the crows, guys... just follow the crows...

She needs buffs actually

they shouldnt even do that. She is fine as is
0 -
It's completely fine dude. If anyone complains. They just need to learn the killer, she has not even been out for a week. Let her sink in and fit in then look for changes needed
0 -
Because Holding W + LOS restrictions weaken this killer to a degree.
0 -
she is b tier at high mmr and something between a and b tier on some maps which benefit her
0 -
Sniping someone from across the map is a VERY high skilli ceiling tho. If you are one of those people getting hit by 100m snipes... I suggest you do not sit on a gen with a swarm on you and stop running in straight lines.
1 -
The fact a lot of people just spam her crows and try to only get hits this way and it works is pretty ridiculous already, but what I really want to know is what to do in the situation where she puts a crow which would damage you if you run forward and she is coming from behind. Her power button release period is way too short, just like The Executioner, except she can hit you from any 3 directions she has set up. She has the same benefits the trapper, executioner and nemesis have, all in one and all better. She definitely needs adjustments. I would rather play against 3 blink nurses than this poorly designed killer.

What gens? If you are the last survivor alive and you have to open the exit she can easily use her crows for info.
1 -
You know you can move right? I had people stealthily evade me like that. Hold the button for 5secs and move and repeat. You can HEAR the crows when she fires them.
2 -
Dude, your crying about a killer that hasn't been released for a week yet. just let her solidify in the meta before asking for nerfs. Oh, and 3 blink nurse is way more op than the artist lol
1 -
Yes, I'm a magician and I know when she's going to use her crows lol. I hear crows when she's chasing someone else as well so... it's this a bug or that's how her power works. I don't need nothing. That's my opinion about her. I just don't like her at all.
1 -
you can hear them as they move and they don't strike instantly if your far away
1 -
No, you got me wrong, you are right in everything you said, at least in the OP and this reply (didn't really read all comments). She does not need a nerf per say, or maybe it is a nerf I dunno, but for her to not be able to chase into crows, so like she either tries to get you with them or a normal attack, not both options being available at the same time. Of course a 3 blink nurse is more OP, or rather, the actual OP out of the 2, but at least you can run left right, try something. The mechanic I'm talking about it's just broken.
0 -
what mechanic are you hinting at, exactly?
0 -
You can literally see the auras of the crows when she puts them. If you're hit by a long range shot it's entirely your fault.
1 -
every new killer will be nerfed so that survivors can spend more time making threads titled "I've been waiting for 10 minutes in queue. Does anyone play this game?" and "Blight blight blight spirit blight blight spirit nurse....is there anything else?!"
Artist, if anything, needs QoL changes to make her power feel more smooth to use and less clunky and unresponsive. She certainly does not need nerfs. I am extremely irritated with this mindset that if a killer is strong in 1v1 and encourages W holding, they must be nerfed. My issue with that is the devs are intentionally designing these characters like this. It's not an error, oversight, unintended thing. That is the design idea from the drawing board. So you can't just nerf that unless you entirely redo the character like they did to old Fred. Or you just kill the character like slinger. But if you're going to kill every killer who is strong 1v1 anti loop, maybe stop intentionally making them? The disconnect between the devs and the playerbase is so large we may as well be from different planets.

artist is just huntress with extra steps. i mean. doesnt it only injure if its an unobstructed path within range of the crow. 6m or something?
0 -
yeah but u can snipe better than huntress and patrol gens better too.
0 -
Unless something is truley broken. Like old MoM broken. They shouldn't touch anything they introduce for like a month. Give people time to adjust before dropping the nerf hammer.
0 -
true
0 -
Agreed, she's fine. She has a really good ability that still has counterplay
0 -
She's fine as she is. She has different counterplay and survivors just don't want to adapt to it.
0 -
Who said she is OP? If anything I have seen the opposite, that she is fine.
0 -
She needs buffs IMO. she should be able to place her crows to go up vertically, i don't understand why such a killer has this weakness
