I don't like nemesis's power

If you use it, you basically give the survivors 3 health states (4 if you include dead hard) and how often across all games will you ACTUALLY get a zombie hit on a survivor? 1 out of 4 if you're lucky...? His power is very underwhelming in my opinion. Sure you strike in certain loops you couldn't other wise, but almost every killer's power is used to help you injure and down survivors under certain circumstances. At least his daily ritual is very easy to complete regardless of skill and experience.

    Zombies are not meant to get hits often I think but act as a way to prolong the game by occupying survs on gens/healing etc or in some cases you can try to steer chases towards zombies where they can help you with loops. Though their AI definitely needs improvements.

    As to the power, I think it’s interesting. I don’t get the whole ‚third health state‘ - like yeah. If you ignore everything else about it then this may be true. But then you have plenty of other benefits: you can hit over many obstacles, it’s kinda a counter to IW and if survs use vaccines they are wasting time and in some cases/with the right addons (which also could use some buffs) can benefit you as well.

    The worst thing is how crouching even below tiny obstacles counters the tentacle.

    And I hate when zombies get stuck on nothing.

    The only purpose of Zombies is to make it a Resident Evil-Chapter. Because Resident Evil has Zombies.

    And personally, I see Zombies as a way to tier up my Power when playing Nemesis. Afterwards, I dont really care what is happening to them.

    But the rest is 100% true - people complaining only focus on the "third health state" or the Speed Boost given, but ignore that the Nemesis tentacle is a great Anti-Loop Tool.

    His power is boring too I can't imagine how his mains can play him that much.

    They enjoy playing the DBD equivalent of the Beggar's Bazooka from TF2.

    Nemesis is an overall weaker Demogorgon
