Kill Switch update: The Mastermind has been Kill Switched due to an issue with Virulent Bound. The Mastermind will be re-enabled once this issue is fixed.

The Amanda's Letter add-on for The Pig has been Kill Switched due to an issue with incorrect RBT count.

BHVR's quest to make everything killer clunky and unresponsive.

We saw it with Slinger, we saw it with Pyramid Head, and I'll be damned if we didn't see this tenfold with Twins. The counterplay to every killer is communication, not chases, if you give solo queue the ability to communicate with callouts and hud icons, then you don't have to ruin these killers, Slinger is the most egregious example of this, all he had was stealth and anti-loop, now that those two elements are gone he's just a sad Huntress-Legion hybrid with nothing to him. I don't care if a killer is technically better than the others, if they feel awful to play then I couldn't care less about them.

    You can't imagine how often I accidentally port to a locker across the map while chasing someone as Dredge. He is so much fun yet his power feels so damn clunky to use >_>

    I do have to give Dredge some credit with the fact he isn't locked out of using his ability near the hook. Sure he can't teleport to lockers near the hooked person, but I can't tell you how many times not being able to place a crow as the Artist near a hook survivor has screwed me over in chase (midwich being the main map it's a problem on).

    Legion and to a lesser extent Ghostface were made less clunky and unresponsive to play as, though, and those changes were much more recent than the other ones you mentioned.

    In fact, Slinger and Pyramid Head are the only examples I can think of where killers were actively made more clunky. Some were made weaker, but not really in the same way.

    Pyramid head needs to be less clunky and better aim, also return his speed when putting the sword on the ground, now it takes too long

    The difference between those and the ones I mentioned is that they never had clunky powers to begin with, Legion was nimble when his speed got increased from 5.6 after launch, and Ghostface only got worse with dedicated servers being added.

    Legion was definitely clunky and unresponsive, the old fatigue duration combined with the overall lacklustre nature of their power was enough of a downside that it was noticeably fixed when they get updated.

    Aiming with Pyramid Head's power makes me physically uncomfortable. It's like the Uncanny Valley of control schemes.
