The Unknown is too powerful. Ranged power is too much!

No. I just want the game to be fair and to be able to run from killers for more than 3 seconds before being downed by a ranged splash damage attack. This has become the new norm with killers with giving them chase control abilities. Plague is more balanced in this regard because she has to collect charges for her power to be able to do this. This killer doesn't. They start with this level of power. Its ridiculous that killer powers have gone from that to just being base kit now. This killer's power is way too much. It should not be able to down you without a condition like Plague's power.

Really? In my experience its been M1, chase begins, get downed 3 seconds later from his ranged attack. Am I just going up against the cheaters or am I missing something here? This killer is overpowered. He has too much in his kit. Survivors being able to dispell his clones isn't enough. In fact I don't even really care about that part as much. Its mostly just his ranged power.

I'm not this entirely anti killer survivor main you think I am. In fact I think most killers in the game are fine as they are and some could even use a buff. Its just specific things I take issue with. Certain perk combos for example or a killer power giving too much leverage in chase situations. I don't want killer mains to have a miserable experience so survivors can have a better one. I just want the game to be more engaging. There is way too much focus on giving killers range damage abilities. I think of killers like Trapper and Spirit who I think are very well designed. The Trapper requires a unique awareness because of his traps and the Spirit can traverse maps well and go invisible while doing it. They're fun to play against because I'm not constantly having to worry about dodging a projectile every few seconds but at the same time offer a unique experience. The experience with many of the recent killers hasn't been all that unique.

Plague's is more tolerable because it requires more buildup to directly damage survivors. My only issue with Plague is it seems almost impossible to dodge her projectile in the open.

The point is ranged abilities on new killers is getting old. When will we get another killer like the Trapper? It seems like they just keep taking elements from other killers and making it part of the kit of the new one. The unknown feels like a variation of the Singularity for example. Not really unique but a bit more annoying to play against. I would prefer unknown's ranged ability to apply some other effect rather than damaging survivors.

This is exactly why having a feedback forum for a video game is good.

Most of the players I go against using the unknown seem like they've mastered this killer. The unknown is too strong out of the box. The main problem I see with this killer is the debuff from its ranged attack lingering until you stare at the killer long enough to remove it. I think if they simply made this wear off over time it wouldn't be as bad. This killer has too much management involved with dispelling the clones and having to stare at it to remove the debuff. Not doing these things gives the killer way too much control.

Its really the same formula for survivors when new killers come out for the most part. If a killer has a ranged attack that can injure you, the only thing we can do is the same thing we do for every other ranged attack. We can run left or right out in the open or put a wall between us and the killer. This new killer's power has a splash effect which means we now have less ways to deal with it. We don't need more tutorials. We need balance. They keep deviating so far from the original killer designs and now its almost safe to assume the next killer will also have some kind of ranged ability.
