What is your opinion on Vecna?

I find him very fun to go againts because of his chest loot table and its refreshing and unique to collect gear and have ultimate scroll that has some insane effects.

    Fun and fair. Many people have not learned how to play him effectively because most survivors have not learned how to play against him effectively.

    Magic items are very strong, but most people seem too ignore them. Fly is fine to ctach up in chase or traverse the map to get into chases faster, mage hand heavily punishes sloppy pallet play but rewards mindgames, flight of the damned is mostly a zoning tool, that more often then not results in Vecna getting m1 due to survivors crouching mid chase and not trying to dodge the hitboxes and the sphere is a great info tool, that alsoo disables the main counterplay being the magic items.

    Magic items like the eye and hand of Vecna are pretty strong in the right hand and can straight up end chases.

    All in all, strong but very complex killer that will need a bit of time for all players to learn. I could very much imagine, that his kill rate is pretty high right now.

    Agree. Only 3 days passed, I only VS like 4 Vecnas in many Hours of SoloQ And sadly they Will Rush to Nerf him anyway.

    Which would honestly be a mistake. People are already on the fence of playing new characters. Chucky and Xeno are just two examples of killers that felt great at release and got nerfed only weeks after that. Now im not saying, that Chucky´s pallet scamper should not have gotten nerfed (the turn rate and window scamper should not have gotten nerfed) and that Aliens miss cooldoown was fine. Both nerfs where fine.

    However, people are getting sick of buying a product, enjoy it and then get it made worse. This will just result in less people buying the dlc´s in the future because they dont trust in what they buy anymore.

    Venca is fine powerwise right now. I played around 20-25 games since release and had hard games against very strong groups and easy games against people that didnt know what they where doing.

    Who do we balance for? Who do we produce dlc´s for?

    Yes, I didn't want to jump on hype train for DLC to instabuy and I am still holding it off and it seems like it payed off since they allready going to quick nerf him next hotfix patch after just 2 days passed.

    He’s a new killer that’s only been out for 4 days, so is kinda hard to not have fun with him.

    But once the freshness dies down, I think he’ll just disappear like usual..

    For me, I’m not going to buy him at the moment, because what I get now might change into something completely different later on.

    Just think of all the changes from PTB. They can easily do the same right now, and Vecna will be completely different than now. So I won’t risk it.

    Yes, they will increase the picking up time for dropped pallet base kit from 0.35s —> 0.5s and also rework that addon that makes it faster. At least that's what I remember was posted.
