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.

This feels like a reply to another thread. Who are you even talking to?

I mean it would be funny if they just added M&K support for console 90% of console complaints just become buy a M&K which is usually like $14

im talking in general and hopefully trying to get an answer from people all over place that I see complaining about the killer who got more accessible and fair.

I havent seen a Thread about someone complaining about Singularity. (At least not after he hit the Live Servers)

“Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth”
I have seen couple of smaller streamers starting to complain about this

All over the place.. Like.. Where?!

He was and is clearly on the stronger side of the killer. Now he is more accessible but not stronger.

I mean while here in the forums I have not seen the first complain about new singularity, I have seen some streamers and people on twitter complaining.
Now dbd twitter users opinions might as well be ignored as they will complain that trapper is too strong lmao. And the few streamers are just tilted because they somehow cannot use EMPs and lose. So at the moment I do not think many people complain about it.
However I do think maybe the sentiment will become more prominent as more people play singularity, as I trully believe that what makes a killer fun in the eyes of many in the community is just how easy they are to beat, as shown with billy being loved while he was a joke and hated once he became strong.

sad, but true.
i hope survivor players learn too, the counterplay is complex, but it's much better than something like "pray they're bad"

My only one complaint about him is he's tough to face on Lampkin Lane.
Which really, it's Lampkin more than Singu at that point.

he was always a menace on that map, bc he loves all the things that survivors love on survivor sided maps - open spaces and low wall safe pallets.
haddon nerf didnt help that at all
