    Artist is fine and perfectly balanced. She could use some better addons, though.

    Most of her addons are lack-luster. but she is balanced

    I'm pretty new with her, so i cant tell much, but she's fun. Her crows damaging some times, marking others, and not doing anything at all other times need a fix tho... It's oddly inconsistent, almost as if bugged

    This has nothing to do with her power, but her design. I like the concept, but I wish she was less pretty and more human/Crow hybrid looking, more horror. She kinda just looks like anime mommy

    1- crows have like a cone in front of them telling you The distance at which they can damage a survivor without them being swarmed (i think it's 8 meters) but if they're outside of that hit range they'll get swarmed instead and you'll have to release another crow to do damage

    2- if they don't hit at all it means they barely missed the survivor and give you a heartbeat a.k.a (killer instinct) instead telling you that there's a survivor there that you missed (plus they can tell you if someone is in a locker or on the ground)

    so what you described is just how artist works.

    She is boring to play as and against, and I wish she was more of a ranged killer than an anti-loop killer.

    I just think her addons are a bit restrained and could be made more interesting. It would probably be difficult to rework her power without making her too oppressive.

    My problem with Artist is that she's deceptively hard to use effectively and the reward for getting good with her doesn't feel worth the effort.

    Like I really want to play her more, but she's just not appealing killer to play as.

    I'm not even sure how you could tweak her either.

    but when I hit a swarmed survivor with another crow, for example, most times nothing happens, they just keep swarmed, other times they do get hurt, but it's very rarely.

    I've also seen when the crow barely miss a survivor and still no killer instinct gets triggered...

    I've even seen crows that fly past through a survivor and doing absolutely nothing at all...

    Her power is too strong

    I don't really know what to do with her. She kinda just seems like a failed concept. Her power can be described in 2 words: Shift W.

    I think it'd be best if her entire power just got redone but considering she's one of the newer killers I doubt that's gonna happen

    I ADORE her design and lore. I DON'T LIKE playing as her. I HATE playing against her.

    they might've JUST removed the previous swarm, therefor canceling the dmg, or maybe its a latency thing.

    Otherwise made up, because she doesn't have inconsistencies like that normally

    Tough one for me, just because her plays can be crazy good, however survivors can counter her so its hard to call it OP rather than high skill ceiling/potential

    She is not that hard (she is a bit), but she is way stronger than harder killers.

    Her power is too strong

    imo there is nothing redeeming about this killer, everything from the design to the gameplay balance is all just terrible. Major offenders are the chase music being pure ######### I'd honestly rather just have pure silence and mute the game and her power is literally just a "no you don't loop me" + global gen pressure.

    I'm not the only person to suicide against seeing this killer and for good reason.

    In all fairness, if maps were designed so every killer could do well then Artist would be too oppressive since she can shut down loops easily. The thing is, since almost every map has an excessive amount of pallets, survivors can just chain loops together to counter her power.

    Until a day comes where the number of loops in maps gets lowered, I will be against an Artist nerf.

    she's super fun to play with tho...

    She’s generally fine balance wise. I just think they should move more of her power from anti loop and put it into long range sniping. More fun for both sides.
