Can Huntress/Trickster/Deathslinger be 4.6 m/s?

The plague doesn't need a nerf. Also you can have a ultra rare add-on for Huntress if you run outta hatchets and she goes at normal speed. I would love to see Trickster and Deathslinger with a normal speed but if Huntress has the normal speed then that will just leave her ultra rare add-on as trash that have been discarded for now.

Deathslinger should be 4.6 imho. The idea behind a slower move-speed is to balance particularly strong powers, yet post nerf, Slinger’s power is not strong enough to warrant such a hindrance

For comparison:

(TTK = time to kill)

Huntress is a 4.4 killer with a 32m warning and map wide range who can down two healthy survivors and injure a third, or down 4 injured survivors (all in quick succession) before needing to reload, and who can get downs at every pallet and window. She reloads at lockers. Her shots can be juked or body blocked once per shot. She has one of the fastest TTK in the game.

Deathslinger is a 4.4 killer with a 32m warning and an 18m (I think?) range who can injure one healthy survivor, OR down one injured survivor before needing to reload, and who can get downs at some windows and pallets. He can reload where he is standing, but must do so after every shot. His shots can be juked or body blocked twice per shot, and can be body blocked by the environment. He has an average TTK.

I see no rational reason for the 4.4 speed on Deathslinger.

But Slingers range is only about 18m......his TR is what 32 or so.......how does that make playing him fair when any competent survivor will run away before he can get a shot in. Either give him a speed boost or return his TR to it's pre Nerf state.

You can't increase his range without making his chains more durable....that would make it impossible for survivors to break at close range.

DS could be 4.6 now after his nerf but plague should not be 4.4 since it's the survivors that give plague her power. Even less people would cleanse against her making her a 4.4 m1 killer

You want ranged killers to be the same speed as m1 killers, thereby making them impossible to get away from.

Yeah, no

Slinger I can get behind, though I'd prefer they continue to work on his kit to make using it as fun for both sides as is posisble, rather than currently which is still unfun to deal with, but also now unfun to play as. Just a bad experience overall.

Huntress should remain at 110 because of her ability to snipe cross-map and effectively counter any loop the second the survivor actually drops the pallet (which they're forced to do lest you just bloodlust).

Trickster should remain 110 because his power is literally spam knives and win; his counter is to run him around a high-wall loop so to make him 115 basically takes away this counterplay and turns him into pre-nerf Slinger of "If you're found you're dead have fun besties xo"

Huntress on 4.6 m/s would be absolutely broken and she is in a perfect spot right bow balance wise. She struggles some times at high structures but thats more of a map design issue. Same goes for Trickster.

Deathslinger on the other hand.. I don't know.. i do agree he needs something in compensation but again i think 4.6 m/s would be overkill even in his current state. We need something else to make him a more attractive choice.

Glad to see so much people saying that Deathslinger should be 115% in his current state. Cause when i made a thread about it, i didn't see that much people agreeing to it.

About Trickster and Huntress, as many other already said, they are fine as 110%... they already have lethality (Huntress i'm 100% sure since i do play her... but i don't have Trickster, so i'm not as sure about him).

I don't really think buffing his speed is the way to go. His main issue is the lack of map control and the whole debacle of 110/115 was very well put by Scott Jund in this video:

IMO, he is a balance nightmare. You can't just buff his numbers without making him unfun to go against or even oppressive in 1v1 while still lacking map presence. What he needs is a rework to add some long-range functionality to his kit so he can apply better pressure on the map and those need some more extensive rework akin to the Clown to add something to his base kit and allow him to zone people far away in a similar way to Huntress.

Don't worry about it, it was a while ago. And yeah, i can understand that making a game too balanced might make it too bland in the end.

Plague is fine as a 4.6 killer.

Huntress's speed is fine. Deathslinger and Trickster needs their speeds increased, though.

Plague doesn't need to be a 4.4 - vile purge does nothing to help down survivors, only injure them, and while her corrupt purge is extremely strong it has way more conditions and drawbacks than the more traditional ranged killers, you have to go out of your way to get it, survivors generally need to give it in the first place, it only lasts for a short period, it notifies every survivor when it activates, it restricts her ability to hear survivors, and it makes her even easier to see coming.

If she or a killer like oni just had constant access to the strongest aspect of their power with no downsides then they'd need to be 4.4 and would probably still be too much. But they don't.

Huntress at 115 would be kinda horrible, she's already a pretty strong and popular killer already.

Slinger...idk. I'd prefer they make his addons more interesting over anything else.

Trickster would be probably be more fun to play and less to play against. Ideally they'd make him more of both although idk how they'd go about that.
