Do we really complain about Singularity NOW?

Like, he's always been good. He's always been capable of all the things people accuse him of being able to.

He could always instantly re-infect you after you wasted an EMP if you used it at a bad moment.

He could always replace broken cameras.

He could always teleport for 20+ meters to infected people.

He could always eat pallets for breakfast cereals if you predropped them mindlessly.

If anything, he got worse overall with overclock losing 5% haste addon and scaling mechanic that allowed to just get through 2 windows, pallet and still have some juice in it to get a hit.

3% haste feels extremely nice, but thinking he got more OP with it is either ignorance or placebo, because overclock has a fixed duration that's just slightly not enough to hit people through pallets if they W key / loop all the way to it from the moment singularity teleports to them aka utilize all the distance the teleport gives to them. Overclock doesnt guarantee hits anymore, worst case scenario for survivor is that they get caught in the open in the deadzone, but in that case it's on them at this point. Otherwise being hit is always something you can try preventing bc singularity needs to somehow make you make a mistake and play on it to be able to hit you before you get to predrop / vault and loop into pallet.

Printer 3 second manual delay is nothing if you're facing a strong singularity, because you'll be manually printing all of your EMPs anyway, almost never experiencing yellow printers. If you let printers passively finish, you're either doing something wrong or the singularity applies so little pressure, you're playing on easy mode anyway.

QoLs just made him smoother, but in the grand scheme he stayed the same. He still would get most of the teleports and scans he would've got before. He still would be able to do the same camera fakes with the same success rate and so on.

Removal of camera tech made his 3 gen weaker because he cant instantly teleport to a person on the gen observed by multiple cameras.

Don't get me wrong, I'm preferring new singularity over the old one (for the most part) because I have way more variability in my builds and I don't have to feel bad about running a purple addon just to have fair chance, but new one definitely has LESS one sided unfair and STRONG things going on in his kit.

It's baffling that people suddenly woke up and realized that singularity isn't actually "B tier" trashcan wholesome chungus killer. Nothing virtually changed about Singularity.

It's not like Billy who got his limitation mechanic flipped upside down and turned into double engravings basekit, alongside having his cooldowns cut down and getting curve window increase that actually made his power work for 95% of the tiles in the game.

Im really annoyed by this sudden motion of people acting like singularity got overtuned. Content creators (not naming any names) who lose their games to singularity arent helping it, bc instead of recognizing their mistakes / singularity's player accomplishment like they would've done before, they start blaming it on buffs, when they did the same stupid mistakes that would've got them killed in that exact way (or even faster if singularity was running old meta) even faster. They don't even complain about the actually overbuffed things because they never even run into them. They just lose to a killer, remember they got changed recently and instantly blame their loss on "overtuned killer".

Singularity is probably one of the better things to run into because his chase is actually m1 killer experience with a bunch of extra fakes and isnt just point and click or rushdown power and it actually has lots of counterplay instead of just "pray they miss their unmissable power".

Rant over, sick of people picking on the best balanced and designed killer in the game. Can't imagine how much people would complain when console folks get a tuned down version of what M&K people had.
