pyramid head needs a nerf.
As a 2500+ hours super DBD vet that played both sides but mostly survivors, pyramid head needs a nerf, he's un-loopable,
he can hit through walls and pallets, you're basically dead if you meet him!
Problem solved: full 4 men swf with 2500+hours

Dis we just meet?
I just got a solid 4K with PH and said to myself “this is gonna be on the forums” and lo and behold

let me know if you survived.

I have quite a few hours on Pyramid Head and it sounds like a problem in your playstyle. You need to pre-drop pallets vs. him and take wide strides around walls. It's sort of like nurse you need to break LOS and be as unpredictable as you possibly can.

Pyramid Head:
- Makes more noise walking than nearly every other killer in the game
- Is one of the three tallest killers in the game
- Makes a tremendous sound cue when he drops his Great Knife into the ground
- Cannot activate his shockwave for a full second after dropping his knife
- Cannot turn nearly at all, and moves slower than survivors while his knife is down
- Projects a huge red light outward, even through walls, warning survivors exactly where the wave will hit
- The wave hits in delayed segments, giving you even MORE time to move slightly to one side or the other
- Has a longer cool down after using than a normal attack
- Cannot be used if his torment trail meter isn't mostly full
- Has an added 'cannot attack' window if he puts his knife back up, added as a nerf very shortly after his release.
HIs power has more broadcasts for survivors to move slightly than any other killer power. It can ONLY be used successfully if you are A) extremely new/bad or B) if you are locked into an animation, such as throwing a pallet or vaulting a window.
The counter play is to for the window, if you hear the knife go down, you fake it and juke to the side. Boom: instantly evaded every single time.
Pyramid Head is the most over-hyped killer in the game. He's not even close to broken or unbeatable. He's not even actually all that good if the survivors have any clue what they're doing.

He's not the only killer made to anti-loop. Why are you out for him specifically
7 -
i doubt u have more hours than me lol, i'm definitely not a noob, so.... i think my playstyle is better.

2499 hours on surv.

No video clips? No explanation? Not even a long ramble about how your last game started as a match like any other until Triangle Daddy strolled up with his large knife and beat your meta build?

I agree he definitely needs a nerf. If you vault a window or pallet he hits you with M2 if you don’t he hits you with M1. And if you run into his trail of torment he will tunnel the hell out of you. I have 5k hours on this game and I can say he is a badly designed killer. Hopefully the Devs listen to their community and nerf him.

2500 hours and you still have not learned the mindset that you should learn how to play against things instead of complaining and asking for balanced things to be nerfed. Hmmm.
5000 hours and still the same lazy mindset. Shame.

okay when he had his lose-lose bs when he first came out. yes he was sorta (not really) op.
now hes just a medicore killer with the most wortheless addons in the game. twins and ghostface are close

He's been nerfed numerous times already.
You hardly ever see him because there's few enough people who DO play him and he grows more irrelevant by the day. He has an absurdly over-generous number of self-nerfs that make playing him feel awful, make using his power incredibly self-punishing, and despite his absurdly low play rate, everybody loves putting him in A-tier (if not S-tier), overhyping him to such an absurd degree that he'll never get the overhaul he needs to actually feel good to control (or the reworking of his addons to be at all useful in any way).
But there you go: It doesn't matter how much Counterplay the Devs build into a killer, doesn't matter how many times he's been nerfed before, and doesn't matter how little he actually sees use.
Somebody will ALWAYS demand MORE nerfs.

lmao, 100hrs noob perhaps?

1200, but good reveal of your character for trying to make an asinine assumption for your ad hominem. The Internet is at your fingertips. Try looking up guides on how to play against Pyramid Head.
6 -
Just look at his stains, I mean like how can you even hit with that thing.
And... well, hitting through walls? maybe don't run like a chicken and use your brain...?
I'm not sure if this is real or bait though... how can people not deal with PH at 2500 hours bruh...
6 -
Well, I think most worthless addons goes to Freddy. At least PH has his range addons. Freddy doesn't really have any useful addons. There's a couple of freddy addons you could make arguments for, but most of the benefits are so minor that there's no a huge difference if you went without them.
1 -
You lost me when you said... LMAO and NOOB.. sorry but he isnt all that strong. Sure he's an anti loop killer but if you learn to read his movements you can avoid his little attack.
You show us your hours but let's be honest..you are a survivor main that couldnt win and now you are having a tandrum?
6 -
I may be biased but I don't think he needs a nerf but rather a rework. I find the biggest issue about Pyramid Head is that he can tunnel easily, not his PotD.

Git gud

I'm heavily survivor sided most of the time but absolutely not. Pyramid head is loopable but some of it is just a guessing game of whether he's going to commit to his attack or not.

u think 1200hr is alot?
0 -
Seems like it's clearly longer than 2500 hrs.

"Pyramid head needs a nerf, he's unloopable"
I present to you, this highlight
4 -
Never said it was? But you need to stop making asinine assumptions and attacking people just cause you’re wrong.
4 -
Well, it clearly doesn't work for you, so I doubt your playstyle is better :D
2 -
"We don't have to do this" :D
I usually spam "Can we talk about it" instead...
1 -
LOL that's always a good one too.
0 -
No, i don´t think he needs a nerf.
Pyramid players have to be good, otherwise they get outplayed often.
2 -
Do you have a problem with Nurse too, since she can pretty much go through walls?
Yes. Thx.
I have 4.5k hrs and I can vs him far better than some other killers with anti-loop (I hate Nemesis and Artist for example). Idk... but some people just avoid his trail like it will insta kill and therefore get M1ed pretty easily. And yes you can "tunnel" with him more efficiently (first of all I need to get across the map for that lol), but maybe you should not depend on all your 2nd chance perks to carry you through the match? Or maybe don't heal right after uncaging/unhooking someone. Or maybe don't get on the killer's nerves. There are many reasons why a killer tunnels. PH is no different in that case than the others.
He's fine.
Don't forget, he's one of the killers with really bad addons. The others are Freddy, Twins and GF.
I think this was someone who did their daily or maybe an inexperienced PH-player, but it demonstrates pretty well that you can easily loop a new or average PH. You need a lot of practise to be good with him. Which is fine, since some other quite strong killers are the same (Nurse and Huntress f.e.)
3 -
I wouldn't call them inexperienced. They knew how to moonwalk and use red stain manipulation and ALMOST caught me off guard once or twice. I just managed to mindgame them a few times and get a few dodges in that were VERY close to hitting me (see the 2nd to last dodge before he dropped the chase)
1 -
I did not mean inexperienced killer, but PHs timings and turns need a lot to get used to, which is exactly why you can loop the average PH player. They get some good shots and have the right ideas, but the muscle memory has not yet developed.
I started to learn him when he came out, but stopped shortly after, because he was a bit too clunky. I recently picked him up again to really learn and master him.
1 -
Man... U can see the path of his power and just pre drop everything.
And one more, his addons are just garbage, if they gonna nerf him, he will need a huge buff in all addons he have, and u will be complaining anyway
1 -
Sounds like a skill issue vs pyramid head tbh, he's strong but not unbeatable
0 -
Oh don't worry. I know full well he has bad addons. In fact, he has the WORST addons of ANY killer in the game. I made this whole account on this forum specifically to request an addon rework for Pyramid Head. He's been nerfed multiple times, his perks have been reworked, and a good number of other killers have had their addons redone, but PH remains the proud owner of the game's most useless addon selection by a country mile.
But hey, look on the bright side: You don't feel bad about Prestige wiping out all the addons you've built up because they weren't going to help you anyway
2 -
For me the killer with the worst addons is still Freddy. I did for him what you did for our PH recently. If you are interested:

The only nerf Pyramid Head needs is to not get explosion notifications on uncages. As mentioned earlier in this thread, it gives him a free pass to hardcore tunneling (since cages ignore hook-related perks). Cages should just be an option to save time hooking and ignore possible save attempts, not let the killer freely harp on one survivor over and over.
