Alien nerf is a message, play Nurse/Blight/Wesker instead

Pretty much. Super cool how they'll leave Survivor perks brokenly OP for months or years, yet they'll nerf a B tier killer down to C+ within two weeks of its release.

Oh no, how dare they slightly nerf a Killer. How will anyone go on?

Why is it always the case that people have to be overdramatic to Killer Nerfs? Xenomorph was fine on the PTB in that aspect, nobody really asked for more movement speed when missing a tail attack. It was a Buff nobody asked for and which was not really needed either.

If they would just not have buffed it from the PTB nobody would care until this day.

I played PTB.

I wanted to ask for things for the killer, but its pointless.

They will do whatever they like, they seem uninterested in feedback unless its from a prominent media figure OR a social network barrage.

Screw that, I'm not wasting time typing up feedback from testing for that treatment.

So, do you think he's bad now? Unplayable in his newly non-OP state?

Or is he actually perfectly fine and on the stronger end of the Killer cast?

To be honest, I think the Xeno is still a solid a tier killer. He just has to be played well and is still at the same strength level I feel.

I think we are on the same boat there.

However, you have to agree that the opinions origin of this post is also understandable.

I very much dislike the "us VS them" - mentality but it is true that some perks like made for this and dead hard get and got complained about for a lot longer and had either no change at all or it took a very long time.

Was dh the most game breaking thing ever? No? I still won a lot of my games.

Is made for this the most game breaking thing ever? No. I still win a lot of my games.

Was the Xenomorph the most game breaking thing because of its lack of cooldown? Also no. Survivors still seem to escape a good amount of time against it.

But all these have one thing in common. They are not really fun to play against.

That is a reason to complain.

Were you asking for this buff from the PTB? I didn't hear anyone asking for buffs for it.

If the buff had never happened, nobody would care. People just hear nerf and revert back to a tribal mentality thinking that the Devs must be against them.

The tail attack is fairly easy to hit, imo. Especially with how you can drag it.

The cooldown speed could be put somewhere in the middle.

If you are so good with it, that you can hit with the tail consistently, then props to you. But so far I've only seen people that missed it fairly often. Even those that were pretty good already. I myself struggle with it too for multiple reasons and I dodged way more often than I was hit with it too.

I hope they'll test it out and adjust it again. I'm all for making the power punishing, so that it actually requires you to get better with it but making it so punishing, that people end up scared to use it and rather play M1 killer doesn't sit right with me, when the idea is that survivors should use turrets to give them an edge in chase.

As far as I understand:

Fix =/= fix+nerf

And that's the problem.

Pfffff, that's would require a working matchmaking 🤣

The tail functions like a mix of Nemesis Tentacle and Deathslinger spear.

It's not that hard.

If BHVR listened to the volume of complaints they'd have nerfed Blight years ago.

We are on, what, year 3 of Alc Ring C33?

How many years has Nurse been queen? How many years was Iri Head around?

BHVR is just glacially slow at changing things, even simple numbers.

Xenomorph is literally how they were in the PTB, which is fine. They are still a good killer, but now they actually have some sort of counterplay.
