Spirit needs to be killswitched
I'm not here to cry about how spirit is a very strong and blah blah blah, I'm here to tell you that she has a very gamebreaking bug, that makes the sound of the phase not directional if you and spirit are between an object in the middle of the phase, this makes spirit uncounterable again, they tried to fix the Furin addon bug, and by the way, they broke her whole phase

I thought something was off about her audio when I played her a couple games ago.

I think you may need to review what gamebreaking actually means

Huh, that's a neat change. Would actually be a more useful effect for Furin than the pointlessness it's been saddled with. I dunno, keep it and stick on some downside.
After all, it does provide you with some information: she's on the other side of an obstacle.
Definitely not killswitch-worthy, though. Seriously? Yeah, yeah, her killrate's probably going to go up as people learn how to use it (and then down a bit as Survivors play more cautious) until there's a patch, but "unintended interaction makes a Killer somewhat stronger" has never so far been a reason to disable them.

So you're telling me they not only completely ruined Furin and made it useless when it didn't need to be changed, but they accidentally made her basekit too strong again?
Guess I shouldn't be surprised.

This sounds like the same sound occlusion mechanic that deletes survivor footsteps, survivor noises, and boon noises, when there's no line of sight.
Killers have been dealing with this garbage sound occlusion for an extremely long time. Why should survivors get a free pass out of it? Sound occlusion should either be fixed for both sides, or it should cause both sides to suffer.

In their new year anniversary update, one of the dev stated that they do not want survivors to be perfectly tracked by the killer. This is why every killer has really loud music in chase to mask the survivor's movement along with audio occlusion.
Perhaps they're going back on spirit changes. that is really nice. I miss going against spirit. her weakened version is not too interesting to place against from survivor point of view. depending how much survivor complains about will decide if that change stays in the game or not.

I've had more "gamebreaking" bugs lately than this and none of them were killswitched. Thats not worth killswitching a killer completely that many of us enjoy playing.
I lost almost all sounds playing doctor not too long ago. everyone sounded like they were under water or really far away. Couldnt hear screams anything, Should the whole game be killswitched?
Had audio issues a lot lately in the game.
Besides sneaky legion with oblivious status is more scary nowdays than spirit who's supposed to be a ghost but yet you can always tell where she is.

Definitely not 'gamebreaking', and frankly, almost sounds like it should be a feature.
Every killer mind games by breaking line of sight, this just allows Spirit to do exactly the same thing while in phase, where she's already blind to survivors anyway.

Oh for the love of god! Leave her be please! Instead of needlessly killswitching a killer character many like to play as that doesn’t have a REAL gamebreaking bug ( like how twins used to be ) , work on a fix that will rectify this.
P.S, in my opinion, this « Buff « should have been implemented with her last nerf back in Oct 2021. Shouldn’t have had a directional audio in the first place, just an omnidirectional audio.

U r not serious right? Spirit with her best addons in good hands (her base is super strong but OK) is IMO strongest killer in game (now after nurse nerf and after 6.1 changes). Objectively she is definitely not worse then top 3. And this was before the bug - and there are plenty of spirits in game just highlighting how strong she is.
I don't even remember last time I survived going against mdr amulet spirit (yet again, her basekit is very strong, but still playable). With this bug, I don't think there's much to do even against her weaker builds
Make her 15% slower + nerf her speed/duration addons and we can speak about mind games. Right now there are none.

OMG now I understand why there are so many spirits. I thought my headphones were broken, but my friends also confirmed that the spirit has a bug with sound and can be abused

it says a lot about the people playing spirit now
I would also like to encourage everyone to compare the number of programmers with the number of people in quality control in the credits.
