This is the most miserable patch.
3-gen slow healing Skull Merchant has been the only matches I've played today. In one of the matches, two gens could be covered by one drone so she always had a third on standby.
I'm not actually convinced BHVR playtests anything. They just have different teams throw crap into a patch and call it good.

They didn't really address the issue with skull merchant in this patch. Other than that I don't really have much of a problem. They do need to do something so it's not miserable to play against her. Not even from a balance perspective but from a fun perspective. If something is this unfun it's bad for the game.

I've never had a fun match against a Skull Merchant. They've all been drawn out 3 gen slogs.

It's either long 3 gens or she tries to chase and everybody walks out the gate because she doesn't have a decent chase.

Yeah, the fact that there is a tome for the next month or so that encourages people to play as Dull Merchant has me considering an extended break from the game. Genuinely don't think that I've ever had a fun or exhilarating match against a Skull Merchant - win or lose, they've just been a pain.

Well, she sucks at chase.
Only thing she is good at is defending either totems or gens.
It was simply bad idea to release her right after knight, who is similar.
But survivors were complaining that every killer has anti loop and hold W is boring. Well, here you go.

It's because she currently has a Tome going. It's why i don't plan to play for a couple of weeks. My games this week will be random team mates doing survivor challenges and throwing the games, and killers doing SM challenges and her games are so miserable.

How does she suck at chase, anyone who has been playing killer for a long time do great with her. Shes super easy, she auto exposes people, even if you hack its just like HEY LOOK AT ME, and then you have to waste a pallet or just assume she is coming. Shes just so annoying and not fun to play against at all. CD on drones way too high, size of drone area way too big, number of drones should always be at least 1 less than number of unfinished gens.

So what you get exposed?
You can simply run from loop she used dron at and when you are injured she is Legion, basically without power. Oh no, I am exposed. Oh wait, I was one hit already...
Then she has dron at loop noone cares about instead of gen.
Is it really that hard to have good chase against M1 killer?

M1 killer with speed on steroids? Yes it is. 115% is ok. 120%? Well - most loops you are dead. After all the biggest strength of NOED is in speed boost and that's also just 3-5%... Another thing is - she has enough time around her 3gen to create a deadzone. So no - she is too strong with 3gen strat as is + it's super-duper boring

Exactly. If they are going to keep adding in crazy fast killers, everyone can teleport now, vision mechanics for killers that take no skill or effrot then they need to remove 3 gen as a strat. Spread them out better or add another gen somewhere.
But killers cry and quit the game if they cant get a 4k most matches so they keep nerfing survivors and buffing killers to make it easier on them. They really need to re-evaluate the mechanics in general because the game is just....stale.

They didn't address that not the hard tunneling and face-camping. I don't think they're going to either.
