Spirit needs her phase ability nerfed.
A killer with good speed can be a problem for survivors. A killer with great speed, and essentially an indefinite way to track survivors instantly, is a massive issue. The spirit can see scratch marks and pools of blood while she phases. If she spots someone all she has to do is phase over and listen for sounds. It is far too easy for her to hit someone and down them as the survivor can only do so much when she is in phase. She can also instant swing popping out of her phase. People who play spirit will literally sweat their butt off and tunnel/hard track you with phase, and you can't do a thing about it unless they mess up or you get lucky. I am so tired of getting matched with spirits that mash their ability button because it is so easy for them to get a down. Quite honestly she should be able to have better hearing during phase, that way it relies on the players skill to track and find survivors, rather than her seeing exactly where you are at all times.

Spirit has been in the game for four and a half years, has had several reworks (nerfs) and add-on passes, countless discussions, and she's finally in a balanced place.
I also have to wonder, do you actually play killer? Because you can't tell exactly where a survivor is just from scratch marks. Most Spirit players are already very adept at tracking with just sound, she even has add-ons that remove scratchmarks, so that's not a significant nerf to her as it is.

Exactly. If a survivor is walking normally they don't leave scratch marks. What about all the perks that stop scratch marks, blood, grunts etc from happening? How does Spirit find them? She doesn't! She has to come out of her ability or hope the survivor walks through a plant or something so she can see it sway. If you are full sprinting in a straight line against a Spirit, that is your blunder to get an injury for.

If anything I’d argu she needs a buff these days to keep up, I’d ever change the phase sound or buff her to normal movement speed if I’m honest as a spirit main, she’s a lot easyier to mind game and play around then others killers tbh, a high end wesker give you way more trouble then a spirit, only time she’s broken is with iridescent add one but that’s few and fare between as there so rare. Just like 4 brand new parts is broken. So as a 2000 hour spirit main I’d argu bring he up a bit. Granted almost every other killer needs way huger buffs and re works

buff? She is 3rd strongest killer in game. With her best addons and capable hands, I would say maybe even #1

Anyway, spirit is fine-ish. Very strong killer, but she still has counterplay. The problem is recent bug that makes her audio not work properly. Once this is fixed, we will have reasonable killer

Spirit is a 4.4, and her power has a decent cooldown
Its also not that hard to throw her off if healthy

They already did nerf her phase, before it was almost a lose-lose for survivors.
she is fine. all they have to do is fix the phase noise bug
