From a Nemesis Main: Changes that i want to see (buffs/reworks) (basekit and addons)

So, i already talked about nemesis here, i don´t like to be repetitive, but i didn´t really explained his actual problems or something like that, so, today, i want to share with you guys some changes for him, changes for his most ´´annoying´´ things, basically his power and addons, everything

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

T-Virus

So, nemesis have a tentacle that works like a M1 lunge, but it´s instant, his power is fun, cool, but has so many downsides, so many little things to make you feel hopeless if you don´t get the perfect early game, and the ideas i want to share can maybe make him more, i mean, less horrendous to play on high levels

also the tiering up system is fine for the, the problem is what you get from it

Tentacle strike: Part 1 - Infecting a survivor

Nemesis is famous for being ´´just a 3 hit killer´´, people complains about needing to always hit a survivor 3 times to end a chase, the fact that survivors get speedboosts after getting infected, but i have a solution:

Healthy and non infected survivors will get injuried AND infected if the nemesis hit the tentacle strike, but, the nemesis can´t down an injuried survivor if he´s not infected (yes, you´ll get the infection and the injury tier up points)

I think this is the perfect idea tbh, if you wants to tunnel, you will most likely need to hit the survivor 2 times anyways, the game will give you a benefit for not tunneling

With this change you don´t even need to buff his hindered status effect

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tentacle Strike: Part 2 - Tier changes

While playing the current nemesis, you tentacle will be the most useless power in the entire game (besides michael tier 1), at tier 2 you will have a pretty decent (but not close to be strong) power, and at tier 3 you have a power, and i want to give some little changes for him, to make the tiers more impactful

Tier 1 is currently really bad, change the range to 5.5 meters at least

At tier 2, you will walk at 4.0m/s while holding the tentacle and your tentacle will have a 6 meters range

At tier 3, you walks at 4.2m/s while holding the tentacle, your tentacle will have a 6.5 meters range instead of 6, i had another idea for tier 3 but it would probably be a bit overpowered, the idea is: hitting multiple targets with one tentacle strike, like: destroy pallet and hit survivor with 1 move

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zombies - Not useless, but can be better

Zombies are not useless, but, weak? they just can´t do too much, and they don´t need to do too much too, they´re NPC´s, they shouldn´t always carry the match, but i think they deserve more

Make Brian´s intestine, Visitor Wristband, Admin Wristband and Mikhail´s eye current effects basekit, also don´t remove the ´´lightburn´´ mechanic from the zombies, maybe make it weaker but NEVER remove it

also, zombies should straight up hit the survivor instead of infecting them, survivors being able to use zombies as a speedboost to escape is so dumb

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Infection - Not even close to wesker and plague (or even singularity)

Well, his infection doesn´t need to be strong, he have zombies, anti loop, but it could at least do something besides just.. you know...cough cough

My ideas are:

The infection should buff zombies (similar to wesker, freddy and singularity)

Basekit current Ne-alpha Parasite

Infected survivors can be more easily detected by zombies or something like that

After getting infected, the survivor suffers from the incapacitated status effect for like, 10, 15 seconds, so you can make a bit of pressure if there´s 2 or more non infected survivors on a generator

survivors drops pools of... vomit?

anything like that

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Addons - Reworks (my ideas)

• Brian´s Intestine: Zombies Respawns 5 seconds faster and keep the current effect
• Damaged Syringe: Injuried Survivors who uses the vaccines suffers from the deep wound status effect
• S.T.A.R.S. Field Combat Manual: Survivors can only see the aura of supply boxes within 24 meters of them
• Visitor Wristband: Increase the speed while holding the tentacle by 0.5m/s
• Admin Wristband: Increase the speed while holding the tentacle by 0.75m/s
• Adrenaline Injector: Survivors who uses the vaccine ear their own heartbeat for 15 seconds (terror radius)
• Marvin´s Blood: Keep the current effect
• Mikhail´s eye: increase the detection range of the zombies by 5 meters, increase zombies FOV by 10°
• Zombie Heart: zombies have their own terror radius
• Licker Tongue: Survivors suffers from the haemorrhage and mangled status effect by 80 seconds after getting hitted by a tentacle strike or a zombie
• Plant 43 Vines: Increase the opening time of the supply boxes by +7 seconds
• Serotonin Injector: Keep the current effect
• T-virus Sample: Keep the current effect
• Tyrant Gore: Keep the current effect
• Broken Recovery Coin: Keep the current effect
• Depleted Ink Ribbon: Keep the current effect
• Jill´s Sandwich: The aura of recently infected survivors are revealed to the nemesis for 7 seconds
• Ne-Alpha Parasite: Zombies insta down infected survivors (yes) or keep the current effect
• Iridescent Umbrella Badge: Keep the current effect
• Shattered S.T.A.R.S. Badge: Keep the current effect

ok, we all know his addons are not good, probably the 3rd place for worst addons in the game, nemesis have zombies, infection, tentacle, vaccines, boxes, so many things to make different addons, but i know you guys are creative, i know

and it´s not like ´´I WANT THE ADDONS DO BE LIKE THAT´´ no no no, i just want them to not be bad

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That´s basically it, any of these changes would make me and probably every nemesis player really happy :)

but now, i want to tell you some of the reasons why the nemesis is a ´´bad´´ killer currently

Bad early game (can´t down survivors fast)

If you don´t have a good early game you lose (need to tier up fast)

0 mobility (his power slows him down so much)

so easy to evade a tentacle strike (and no, nemesis can´t hit through windows and pallets, just crouch and you will be literally imune to it in every loop, small rock and anything bigger than a survivor crouching)

in the current state, if the nemesis don´t reach tier 2 before 1 gen pop his power instantly turns into a useless tool, you have no snowball because you need to hit survivors 3 times and you don´r even have an anti loop at tier 1

ok, there´s a lot more but you see? his power is so inconsistent, you need to have a good early game but your early game is weak, you can down survivors faster with your power, but now you need to hit 3 times, your zombies almost never hit survivors, but when they do you lose the chase, it makes no sense,

--------------------------------------------------------

also, i don´t know what can be added for the survivors, maybe more vaccines?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

also, i know adding everything i said before would be really, shocking, imagine a killer being considered a C tier and, next day he turns into a really strong one (just like overheat hilbilly, the older sadako etc etc), but any of the changes would make me and probably every nemesis player very happy

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i also think buffing his basekit is better than buffing his addons, making a killer addon dependant is not a good idea at all (cof cof, freddy, bubba, pig, trickster, knight, singularity, legion, myers, twins, etc)
