Why can the artist camp every Gen on the map? Her crows shouldn’t be able to go that far….

She's fine now that DMS got nerfed

Thank you for your kind word

Now since Nurse got nerfed ppl starts to complain about Artist ? Can we just have some strong Killer?

Artist is fine her Crows give her some Map Pressure becausesie doesnt have any Mobility 🤷‍♀️

I love Artist she is my 2nd favourite Killer when Dredge wouldnt be in the Game she would be my Main

Artist is fine. She's a strong, but balanced killer.

Imagine a world where Artist is op 🤣

I stopped playing around her release, so I honestly just suck against her in general cause I never played her and rarely play against her. But I didn't know if she misses she still gets a Killer instinct alert. That seems a bit dumb and explains why she always seems to know which gens have people even if she missed her spam gen check crows.

Yeah it is. I think it's like 3-5 meters. So if she misses you but you were still within a few meters of the bird as it passed by she gets a killer instinct notification.

You can disable her birds with a flashlight but it takes practice to get the hitbox on them and they take too long to disable with a flashlight to make it a viable strategy in the middle of a chase.

The best strategy against her in chase literally just keep running. If you can bait her to start setting up birds in a chase it gives you time to run away. But since they buffed bloodlust on killers its less effective to counter her that way.

My experience playing the Artist is the further away from a gen I am, the less likely what I thought was a launch centered on said gen is actually centered. Besides that, knowing you’re there doesn’t do much if you shoo away the crows and move before I get there.

survivor main: Please make Artist birds have range limit equal to terror radius!

Coming soon: lobby camping.

Please don't describe a killer that can harass nearly every gen on the map from anywhere, attack from four different directions at once, attack through walls, and immediately shut down every loop, as "fair but strong".

I can't imagine what would possess them to design a killer where every interaction that survivors could possibly have with them is "I guess I'll just crank out gens in between getting harassed by birds every five seconds; until I hear their terror radius, then it's time to start holding W and predropping pallets until I inevitably die, because she's impossible to loop."

Artist doesn't need to be nerfed. She needs to be deleted and redesigned from scratch. What a god awful way to design a killer.

She can injure you from across the map, if she manages to land her crow attacks on you twice before you manage to repel the crows which you have more than enough time to do if she fired more than 1 crow.

Also she only has 3 crows, so she can't attack from 4 directions at once.

As for shutting down loops, you can just run away to the next tile. She's slowed down quite a bit placing crows on top of having sound effects for doing so. It's not that difficult to just run away and not play a tile she's trapped unless she zoned you into that position.

If you want to complain about a killer, at least understand what their kit is actually capable of.

-Being injured at long range isn't the issue here. The issue is the constant bird harassment grinding everything to a screeching halt until she waddles her way over to you. You can't stay on a gen or exit gate with birds on you. You have to get up and either repel them or dodge them every five seconds. At best this is horribly annoying, and at worst it makes it escaping via exit gate as the last survivor, or clutching out the last gen before she gets to you, outright impossible. Getting an Artist that's just humping a three gen is so fun.

-You know she can still M1 you, right? Three crows + the Artist herself = four methods of attacking at once. She also inexplicably moves at 115% and barely slows down while placing or launching birds.

-I literally addressed this in the post you're quoting. What do you think "then it's time to start holding W and predropping pallets until I inevitably die, because she's impossible to loop" means?

Please actually read.

Back when Artist first released, I got a match with one that just camped a Pain Res hook the entire match, constantly pewping crows towards any gens people were working on. The match took forever to get through, despite virtually nothing happening, and the Artist never leaving the hook. Then at the end they harassed both exit gates at once and cleaned up with NOED. This has cemented Artist as one of the absolute worse killer designs they've ever made.

Honestly hate facing her but overpowered? Nah. That's a hard sell. Thankfully she's quite rare.

I'll agree on the terror radius issue though.

-Being injured from across the map isn't the issue. The threat of being injured, is. It grinds everything to a screeching halt because you have to constantly stop whatever you're doing to either dodge or repel crows, giving her enough time to waddle over to you. At best this is horribly annoying, and at worst it makes things like clutching out the last gen, or opening the exit gate, virtually impossible.

-You know she can still M1 you, right? That's three crows + the Artist herself = four methods of attacking you at once. She also inexplicably moves at 115% despite being a ranged killer and barely slows down any meaningful amount while placing or shooting birds.

-What do you think " then it's time to start holding W and predropping pallets until I inevitably die, because she's impossible to loop" means?

If you're going to try to argue against my complaints, at least actually read. It really helps, especially when I've literally already addressed some of your counterarguments.

What really cemented Artist as one of the most miserable killer designs they've ever come up with, was a match I got shortly after she released. I got an Artist that just camped a Pain Res hook the entire match. The constant crow harassment slowed gen progress down enough that people had to go trade with who was on hook, which of course meant more Pain Res. The match took forever to get through, despite the Artist never leaving the hook, and nothing of substance happening in the match overall. Then at the end she used crows to protect both exit gates at once and then cleaned up with NOED.

It's a killer that's immensely rewarding for the most boring playstyles possible.

I'm not sure what part is hyperbole when I'm literally only describing what she can do. She can literally place three crows and also still M1 you. That's having four vectors of attack at once.

"The many nuances her power actually has*"
