As title says but for an example, a survivor is in autohaven, in a killer shack, the survivor is doing a gen, a zombie is standing next to the survivor and is just standing there, staring at the survivor doing the gen, i come, the survivor sprint to the window, the zombie moves to the window, body blocking me, the survivor runs inside the shack, the zombie dosent move towards the survivor it is now stuck between the 2 lockers inside the shack. this is just 1 example, i have played for about 4 hours today only nemesis and i honestly dont know why his tentacle strike dosent get buffed and why is zombies isnt removed from the game, they are useless.

    Yep, annoying when they get to a hill and comes to the edge of it and they are there for the remainder (spell) of the game. i cant reach them because dead by daylight is what it is lol, but yea no, i used to like zombies aswell but they are simply just non existent at this point, id rather be able to tentacle strike a crouched survivor behind an object instead of having zombies lol

    I've had on occasion a zombie approach the pallet at a tile I'm chasing a survivor and force the survivor to either get hit by the zombie, get hit by nemesis, or both.

    I've even had situations where a survivor takes a vault into a drop and land at a zombie getting downed.

    It's the kind of thing that's great to laugh at when it happens that would be missed if zombies were just removed to make Nemesis more of a "normal" killer.

    Yeah but a zombie hit is maybe once on 50 games? sure its fun after 50 games but at the same the small laugh i can sacrifice to get a buffed tentacle strike instead lol.

    i know nothing is gonna happen with us discussing or with this post because developers never really cares about player opinions, but i hope something will get changed. :)

    The thing is there's over 30 killers in the game. We're getting Alien next week who has a special attack similar to the tentacle and has map mobility. It's fine for Nemesis to have his zombies as a way to stick out amongst the crowd of killers as you have other options for a power similar to his without the zombies.

    What I don't get is why when they reworked interaction with flashlights with killer powers, they didn't touch the zombie's one. Survivors could just smack them and sactifice a health state for it (put into deep wound if injured already.)

    Zombies are strong when you know how to use them. Their detection ability is just insane. Not only they find survivors by themselves but they can also protect area around slugged or hooked survivor giving you a clue when somebody is coming to help.

    If you get bodyblocked by zombie during loops, then you are using them wrong in those loops. Just go another way instead so zombie bodyblocks (=hit) survivor.

    The bad thing about them is that way too often they miss their hits on Survivors. Seems like bug.

    I like my zombies. I always run zombie buff add-ons so that they can annoy survivors even better. I wish they gave Nemesis a third zombie.
