Gotta love how every killer since Pinhead basically has no counter.

Now now, don't forget that she can get rid of per power all on her own just by teleporting to a tv and turning it off for a ridiculously stupid amount of time all on her own.

I find the dredge to be quite manageable at the moment. That may change is he is still very early on and killers are yet to perfect him.

Are you struggling with the remnant?

I find it is more effective to take a hit and commit to a single direction, rather then trying to loop him. He is at his strongest at TL walls IMO. Don't lock lockers at the start, wait until the mid point or late game then start locking them, you will find it more effective.

As for nightfall, it is undeniably hard to beat him and you should accept that if he is chasing you, yes you will likely go down. But even just "shift w" you should last most of if not all of nightfall. All in all I find him to be B-C tier.

In summary, I cannot understand why you have not been able to beat him once in two days. In theory you should have. The only answer I can think of is your teammates are not good and are wasting time. If so that reflects more on them, then the killer.

It reminds me of the old darkest moonlight offerings. Where the maps where so pitch black. That you couldn´t see a survivor, even when he was standing right in front of you.

(score down the text a bit and you'll find that I did another answer where I specified that his power overall became faster) He's on par with sadako for being the worst killer in the game right now... His antiloop is hilarious from a survivor perspective (it's sufficient holding w shift to kept him busy) and his teleport start to become useful only in nightfall mode... This killer is a joke right now

I think you’re wrong on both counts, Sadako isn’t the worst killer in the game (she’s on par with Wraith, about 2 out of 5 stars) and Dredge is significantly better than Sadako. But time will tell with Dredge, people are still getting used to both playing as and against it.

That is honestly the problem with most killers. You know they are somewhere else or just used their power, so for the next 20 seconds nothing stops you from doing gens. Think about it, that goes for the rest of your team as well. In other words the Dredge is the first killer in quite a while that doesn't give you a break, constantly applying pressure.

That's because killers stomp solo q

Artist has counterplay

It's just very boring counterplay that doesn't take as much skill as traditional looping does.

Here's a fun fact though, Dredge and Artist have something in common - their power is countered by another survivor getting involved in the chase. Another survivor can run through a crow to remove it and the same can be said of Dredge's remnant. Only difference is Artist can just place another crow right away but Dredge's power goes on cooldown

Also it's early days, don't decry Dredge as having no counterplay when he just came out and people are still learning.

Sadako for sure can be countered. Her stealth ability is a weaker version of Wraith's as she doesn't have that crazy speed boost when she uncloaks, and the TV's don't really do anything. Most survivors will deactivate the TV's so she can't teleport, build up their condemnation until the last minute, and then clear it before they become fully condemned. She has potential to be good, but her powers are just far too weak against the current meta.

I do agree that the Dredge is very powerful. I consider myself a reasonably skilled survivor, yet in a lot of my matches, we seem to be getting stomped by it. It's counter-loop ability is quite easy to counter as you do exactly what you do with Artist: run to the next nearest loop/pallet/window when they slow down to place the remnant. The night power needs a nerf tho, in my opinion.

I have NEVER lost against a Dredge, Wut,

Stop assuming the killer is op and Git Gud,

And yet killer kill rates have been dropping universally to ~50% since BHVR released stats, some killers were around 70% a few years back. The fact that you keep saying hit validation is not a buff is strange. It's a design choice that strengthens survivors, if generators get changed to take greater than 80 seconds is that not a buff to killers?

Killrates are a difficult thing thou.

Even on the side you used it shows that we once again should ask for nerfs to Pig. She has a 61,4% kill rate and that while only being picked 2,23%. That is higher than even the so called "best killer" in the game, aka Nurse, with 5,87% pickrate and only 51,54% killrate (perfectly balanced it seems)...

Now aside from sarcasm: Kill rates are a joke as long as you do not know certain variables. And those are player skill on both sides. Going just by the killrate any killer with below 49,29% killrate (the average) should get a buff. However then you see what monsters are lurking there and you can quickly understand that something is off about the data.

Most killrates are highly susceptible to SoloQ issues (Pinhead), new survivors (Pig) or the people playing the Killer (Twins).

Pinhead has a mechanic that is not that strong as soon as survivor organize a bit and know how to solve that cube. However as soon as they either let a chainhunt happen, try to solve the cube in Pinheads face (I had multiple instances of this as Pinhead) or just do not know how to solve it things go down, resulting in a 57% killrate for Pinhead.

Pig is just a mechanic that new player can not deal with. A widely know issue. Even the best Pigs struggle quit a lot more that the average Blight player.

And then there are some issues like Twins. They are quit powerful, I would argue for A tier but that is personal. However people are just not enjoying them and only bring them for challenges or memes. Serious Twin players however are quit strong. Yet their Killrate does not reflect it.

As such my conclusion is that killrates are merely an indicator for things. A good database should at least add additional information about MMR or skill, DCs and perks used to get the usable results.
