I predict her ability to 3 gen will be nerfed and she will either receive no buffs or superficial buffs in other areas. She then be left to languish with Freddy and Trapper becoming more of a joke than Twins.

    I hope they will keep some gen defense, but nerf the 3-gen in some way while also buffing her in different directions.

    Please don't turn her into weird ghostface, please don't turn her just into another anti-loop killer with no strategy or no area control please.

    Mu bet is that bone dealer is going to be nerfed after sell enought skins.

    If she was too bad, less people buy it and her skins.

    Honestly I wish they could leave her as it is.

    HUH? So you don't have fun squatting 1 hour against Skull in the 3rd gen until the servers shut down? you guys are weirdos :/ fun and interactive personally from bhvr, that moment when the survivor don't know what to do anymore and make noise from afar because they want to show their frustration because they can't touch the gens without me knowing about it xD

    They would make 3 Genning impractical but not impossible... while making her even worse

    They will probably nerf her iri addon, Prototype Rotor.

    It now only works if the survivor who activates the drone has a Claw Trap and is one hook away from death; requires the Skull Merchant to be in the field for at least 5 seconds; only gives a 3% haste effect; and leaving the zone removes the effect and incurs a 5% movespeed penalty for 15 seconds after.

    Meanwhile, Huntress and Clown can 1-shot, and Shape can delete a survivor from the game with their iri's.

    But in actual response to the topic, they could end up making gen kicks delete any nearby drones and drones cannot be setup near regressing gens. This would make the Skull Merchant have to choose between defending gens with gen-kick perks or her drones.

    As far as buffs, her drones do nothing against injured survivors aside from killer instinct (wallhacks with a delay), so that part could be buffed.

    Even if they nerf her 3 gen she obviously won't get buffed in any way, because then "OMG solo queue destroyed, time to find SWF" posts will start.

    As boring as it sounds, they will probably keep her that way. Making her a 3 gen killer. No, THE 3 gen killer. This was obviously a design choice.

    I predict Call of Brine and Overcharge will take the fall for SM’s sins.
