Skull Merchant is ridiculously unfun
Games getting dragged out until one side just gives up. So much 3 gen camping. And if you spawn on "The Game" it's extremely unfair to physically have to run for 5 minutes to deactivate a drone watching a gen because of how the drones can expose you through floors. This killer is so poorly designed I don't even know what can be done to fix it. Please just make games less of a stalemate.
I'd take getting destroyed by a good nurse or blight any day over Skull Merchant. Even Knight isn't as bad because at least his AIs gives you some down time after they disappear.

How the Circle of Healing has come full circle...
Killers have been having to go all the way around to get to a boon to snuff it for a year. It hasn't even been a week and the survivors are already fed up.
Don't worry, the multi-floor drone zone will get nerfed. Circle of Healing will be left untouched.

Standard Battery Life is 45 sec.
How you make it last 5min?

Agree. I hope they do something soon as this problem becomes more and more widespread as the days pass

The drones do not have batteries? Those are the claw traps
And if you're referring to the Active time, the killer can just reactivate them whenever they go into sweeping mode

Yeah she is ridiculously unfun to play against, and killer mains on youtube are talking about how unfun she is to play in general.
I wonder if they even took feedback from the PTB, or how just narrowly they focused on specific comments in the PTB?

That's not even the problem either, it's just another
She can just put the gen in front of the gen and there's no way to get on the gen without her knowing unless the gen has 4 sides (which is unlikely, and even if it does, she can just constantly reactivate the drone on that specific gen, the only saving grace from this is if all 3 gens have 4 sides which is basically an impossible scenario to happen)

This is a surface level similarity and you know it. A boon on another floor doesn't stalemate the game. A drone right below or above a gen on another floor can easily cause exasperatingly long games.

I was watching a streamer last night who ducked out of a long SM game. He obviously felt bad because he kept apologising, saying as a content creator he should stick with these games even if they are a slog. A viewer then donated $200 to him under the condition that he duck out of every SM game that stream lol they said no one wants to watch a SM game. That's how bad it is. Someone actually parted with $200 for a SM-free stream.

It does stalemate the game to a degree. The 3-gen standoff would swing to the killer's favor quicker, and thus allow the game to end sooner, if the survivors didn't have a hospital built in the opposite corner of the map to solo heal ad infinitum.
