なんかいつもこういうパターンになるから、新しいキラーをすぐに買わない方が良いと思います。

(This tends to be the general pattern with new killers [and perks] so it may be better to hold off buying them straight away [if the power and so on alone are the only draw].)

Pretty sure there are quite a few people that would put Vecna in A tier.

The Mage Hand nerf is absolutely necessary, I am just worried about the changes to FoTD, that ability seems perfect to me the way it is now.

Well. What did we expect.They always go further. People like me were fine with the mage hand nerf because he did need it. But really a power that can be easily crouched needing a nerf? It's already barely usable In some cases.

Just a sidenote, but I am definitely not calling him Vecna now that it's been mistranslated as 'Rich'.

It's Richard from here on out.

Preferably in Hyacinth's voice.

It's a Japanese thing, there's no L in Japanese so they all get translated to R.

Surely they are not nerfing Flight of the Damned insta-tech. Surely they are making it not crouchable, right?

Nope, not at all. You'll still be able to get a hit against a survivor using the item, if you time Mage Hand well. It will just decrease the distance a survivor needs to have to Vecna when reaching a pallet to participate in a mind game, because it will counter blocking pallets a bit more effectively.

Not to mention, Xeno is far from useless just because of turrets. The turrets are the only thing that keep Xeno in check.

You didnt get my point.

Xeno´s problem was that many people wanted the killer to get nerfed so that they could outplay the killer even without the turrets. This sentiment was flawed because the main counterplay to Xeno is supposed to be the turrets. If this is a good idea is something entirely else.

Lets take some of the new maps for example. If I use mage hand on the game, what happens:

• survivor most likely makes it to the next pallet.
• I have just reset a pallet that can be used again.

If I dont get a hit with mage hand, lifting a pallet, I shot myself in the foot HARD.

Of course his kill rates are high, he's new everyone is playing him and survivors haven't worked out his counters fully. He got buffs after the ptb because he was so lackluster ffs

Severe nerfs to a killer that isn't even a month old seems like an overreaction but I shouldn't be surprised. I really need to follow your advice and stop buying new chapters day 1

Have you ever baited an artist crow? You can do it incredibly close and its not really that hard.

Im not avocating for removing the crouch but even if it got removed moving in between them is still viable and very easy on top.

The 0.5 seconds are just the time until they start flying. However they already have a hitbox much earlier. In order to dodge skeletons spawned on top of you you definitely need to predict that they will spawn on top of you, you can not react to that. Though personally I think that's fine, as counterplay is often based on prediction and not reaction.

But that is probably what is getting nerfed, if I had to take a guess. Hens made a video showcasing how powerful that can be.

I can't believe that it takes so long to adjust survivors, but killer abilities are adjusted immediately, even while survivors are still getting used to them. In that case, please nerf toolboxes for sabotage since they're hard to deal with too🙄
