What are your thoughts on The Artist?

She is fun to play if you snipe across the map, but if survs are smart the go in lockers and than you need to chase them nomaly and normal chasing with 'blocking' loop paths is borring for both sides. (because the counter is run away)

she's really cool. sound design is awesome.

I'm just bad with her...

The killer feels like trash because the amount of time she gets to hit a survivor with her power twice, is way too low. Repelling crows needs to take twice as long, to give her an actual chance to 2-hit combo the survivors.

And yes, I get it that the window is large enough to get a 2-hit combo, but it's still way too low. The range to 1-hit damage is also way too low, and should be doubled in range.

She also got secretly nerfed from the new map design, where there's lots of extra clutter everywhere that blocks line of sight. Very often, when she places a crow, survivors can just run some other direction and get behind cover, which can stall enough time to prevent her from getting a 2-hit combo. There are many loops where she just doesn't have enough line of sight to know when to launch the crows, and survivors don't get damaged when they run over a crow, so she's just super clunky in many situations.

I think she's fine. There will always be killers we don't see much of, especially since we have over 30 of them now. Plus some are simply more popular than others. But yeah, I have no issue with Artist.

She's cute I think

She is awesome, I can understand not liking the get hit with crows on small loops thing.

But atleast it's easier to dodge and ur not forced to leave the loop like knight or skullmerchant

I prefer the sniping plays with her than the closer up version but she is nice, has s bit of gen slowdown built in that is nice

Honestly Artist could be a ton more fun to play but small things hold her back for me.

I play for long range snipes as that's more fun for both sides rather than the boring anti loop stuff. Unfortunately this makes festering carrion required and the biggest issue limiting that fun is that lockers clear crows. Just why. Any half decent survivor across map just instantly jumps in a locker to clear them making long range snipes significantly worse. I don't see why they need this when the counter play is predicting her shots since you're cross map.

Artist imo is one of the best balanced Killers. The closest thing i can think of that may be a little bit OP is the severed hands add-on, but its still not as broken as the stuff other higher-tier Killers get and it requires a lot of experience and skill to use effectively.

I highly recommend any new Artist main to use her power as a straight anti-loop as little as possible as it prevents you from properly learning her, just try your best hitting your crows on swarmed survivors especially using unconventional angles instead of directly facing pallets/windows, you can be a menace at any range once you mastered it.

She gets way to much ######### because new players rely on her zoning at close range exclusively and she doesn't have that high of a pick-rate so good Artists are something you won't see a lot.

She is one of those killers that limits herself to exist, like she can be really good but is not satisfying gameplay really, there is no dopamine rush when you do something with her.

Also due to people not really understanding how she plays like 80% of people believe she boils down to place crow on loop and survivor leaves when tagging people and then shotgunning is way more powerfull and what good artists do.

Her sound design is the second best in the game, especially the noises she makes, only Dredge surpasses her.

She's dang fun to play as and feels challenging to play against (in a good way)

Her snipes from across the map is very satisfying, especially when you hit a Survivor by accident.

Her chase music is probably the 4th best in the game, only surpassed by Myers, Pyramid Head and Blight imo

Only real con to her is that her addons doesn't feel very creative.

I personally don't really like going against her. It's sort of similar to knight where you are just holding w when they start setting up their power.

Love Bird mommy, love the theme, the power and the concept of a ranged, anti-loop, harassment killer.

Once you're good at consistant snipes part of her kit you'll look at her in a different light, she's more than crow's at pallets / windows like some people like to believe. The satisfaction of downing two or 3 people at once is a sight to behold and firmly places severedhands as my favourite addon of hers that it never leaves my addon selection options.

Also this is one of my favourite killer outfits put together.

This is why i love severed hands.

Well im an Artist main simply because i like the design of her character and kit, maybe im biased cause i do work with art professionally to a degree. I really like her design but she really needs a tome in the future because her story does kind of suck though.

The only criticism i can think of as an Artist main is that her add-on selection is kind of bad, she has some really good ones especially yellow/brown ones (vibrant obituary and automatic drawing being quite underrated) but most higher tier add-ons belong in the garbage because they are either Pyramid Head tier of bad or for people who use shredded crayons as cheese.

Also ######### is that new portrait ingame? It does not fit her character at all, not even if she was a fighting-game character.
