Does Anyone Here Still Play Dredge?

Right now my Dredge is PII Lv. 1, so I'll need to put some points on him before I play him again.

I play him a lot. I've been playing him less lately though, since I'm trying to use up my flans on my other characters.

Dredge feels fun to play. So yeah I still play him. Wish it took like half a second longer to lock lockers. But aside from that I think he's good.

If I didn't have any paid dlc yes he would be my main. Great killer fairly easy to get the hang of.

I reached all my goals, so I'm not interested in playing until the patch. The Dredge will be played a lot.

I love its basic attack and the passive nature of the nightfall power charging as you play. Its anti-loop is pretty sweet when it works.

I still see him quite a bit when I play as survivor. Maybe not as much as some of the other staples at this point, but he's still a regular.

I've been trying to play more games with him since I need to push the P1 button before the midchapter drops and he still has a hundred flans, but I 0K with him pretty constantly unless I'm using his Exposed iri and the purple addon that starts Nightfall at the beginning of the game. I don't enjoy playing with him for some reason.

Sadako, on the other hand, is digital crack. I play one game with her and I want to play a dozen more, and I 3-4K the majority of them. I've been taking a break from playing her (mostly been focusing on Ghostie and Clown, for no reason in particular), but I don't think she's ever really going out of my killer rotation.

I think some of it has to do with the fact that I just don't understand Dredge's playstyle. Sadako has excellent gen regression potential due to her fast, infinite teleport with no cooldown between jumps, and playing CoB/Pop/Dragon's/Nurse's can be extremely oppressive, but I just can't figure out what to do with Dredge. He works well with Make Your Choice, I guess, and he can camp lockers right next to a hooked survivor... which isn't nice, but it's fun when it works. Nightfall is cool, but mediocre without addons.

I don't know how to use his supposed antiloop at all, but it is fun to jump to a locker in the middle of the loop a survivor is currently running to. It only really works if the survivors don't seem to have played against Dredge before, but, again, it's exciting when it works.

Ditto for teleport locker grabs - I had a Meg just type "What? What? What?" over and over again in the endgame chat after she spent her final moments trying to distract me from a hooked survivor by jumping in and out of a locker on the other side of a map.

I played him 2 games. His power feels clunky af to use.

Inbetween locks existing and survivors holding W or predropping he feels very underwhelming.

He is a worse Artist and i hate playing Artist so why would I play negative Artist. after realizing that i started playing killers with powers that dont feel clunky or impractical.

Eh, I'm not a fan. Way too clunky. And his button mapping is really counterintuitive. CTRL to teleport and M1 to return to husk feels completely backwards.

I only played him for the first 2 weeks of his release and I lost interest.

Dredge is basically my main, but I've only gone against them as survivor once since the anniversary event ended.

I haven't seen Dredge in ages, which I'm glad about. I lose a lot though, so my MMR is probably really low and I guess he's used at higher levels by more experienced players.

I generally tend to avoid killers who are countered by running away from a loop and holding W, because there's very little meaningful interaction Dredge isn't so bad because you can make use of his power in a chase, but it's not going to be that effective on a good survivor. He's definitely fun, and decently strong, so I can see the appeal.

Personally I really dislike that there is no downside for freely locking lockers, because that is a part that does make the point I said about being able to use his power in a chase weaker. At the very least a lock shouldn't stop him when he's in Nightfall, or they should take a second or two to lock.

he is part of my killer rotation, so yes

I played him a lot during the anniversary, but taking another break from DBD. I'm forever waiting for that elusive fix to matchmaking.

he can't compete with competent survivors, so that might be why you don't see him much.

I still play him, but I just like teleporting around and cutting the boring walk time out.

I still play Dredge quite a bit; may actually more than when it first released. People seem to be pretty polarized on Dredge's strength, but I find it to be a strong killer and routinely 3-4K (I also took my worst loss since my first year in DBD with Dredge, but I think that had more to do with the strong SWF and it being on Garden of Joy).

They're also really easy to max Deviousness with. You score points for every teleport, so make the most of your 3 charges and teleport as often as possible. The more you teleport, the faster Nightfall charges, and the faster you get your faster teleports, as well as gaining useful spatial information and potentially catching survivors off-guard.

Hes my new main so ye
