The Dark Lord is OP

This Killer is way to overpowered. I have 5k hours on this game. I have played multiple matches against this killer only time I ever survive is from the hatch. This killer needs to be nerfed. I will not be playing any matches against this killer till it is. If I get into a game and see The Dark Lord i will be leaving it.

    Okay? That's your choice. Nothing wrong with that. He's a little overtuned, but not terribly. I have won plenty of times against him. thats in solo queue too.

    The killer is too well rounded. You can be brain dead and win a match as this killer.

    Its the bats I feel. The wolf form can be dodged but if your at a straight line and no where else to go its a hit no matter what like weskers bound, demos shred, or chuckys slice and dice. The hellfire punishes unhooking survivors nearby heavily and against a competent Dracula unhooking in the endgame is impossible without trading. Hellfire overall i think is fine and you can easily hold W against it when you go to medium loops where he can see you. The main problem is the batform since if you play with lapiz and medusas hair its like the killer has 3 offensive powers. The batform is used after a stun at a pallet or if you lithe away or any time you gain distance. Being able to block windows and slow down survivors is brutal which can easily give Dracula a normal m1 hit. The road map said he is up for changes and i think its going to be for bats and cooldowns

    How many is "multiple matches"? Because if it's 3 or something then play more against him, you'll see all of his powers are flawed to some extend, well at least wolf and vampire. xD

    Bat at itself is okay, the problem is that you can change forms too quickly but that only a problem for bat, that's the reason why they should just make the change-cooldown after morphing into bat higher and let the rest be ^^

    Now without even reading the post or other comments, I kind of agree.

    Now take my opinion with a grain of salt as I am in dumpster fire MMR, but I played enough matches as the dark lord without ever using perks on him to get prestige 3 while only spending bloodpoints I got from him on him.
    Dark lord has crazy map pressure, crazy anti loop, decent stealth, and the wolf attack somehow is both the most garbage and most useful thing ever (Its terrible for loops, crazy in any open space or W holding section).

    If I was to change something for each form, it would be to lessen the reach of the fire pillars and remove hitting multiple people with it (The only use of this its multi-hit is tunneling off hook, which its crazy good at); The wolf power maybe needs a turning impairment while charging pounce but that's not really necessary; Bat form needs to put shape change on cooldown after teleporting, if you want to see how strong it currently is play dark lord on Haddonfield or defend main on shattered square.

    I find dracula is easier to loop than vecna or nurse. Any killer can find a way to abuse part of their power such as sadako spamming teleport and not hooking, or hag putting all her traps around your hook so you get tunneled off, or trapper ensuring the whole team dies in the basement or leatherface being able to double tap you on unhook, or deathslinger holding you till the endurance of unhook wears off etc. Draculas current abusable thing is batform being able to transition very quickly and even block windows. If you dont get one of those draculas for the most part they are loopable.

    You say you have 5k hours in this game as a selling point that would give your opinion more weight…

    But how many of those hours have actually been against Dark Lord?

    And when you say the killer needs to be nerfed, how? What exactly is the problem? Just saying the killer is too well-rounded doesn't sound like a bad thing.

    he is not imbalanced. he is decently strong.

    The window blocking isnt really that bad, ive played against 3ish players with that addon on survivor side, and I just double back and hold W to next loop when I see them bat-form mid chase.

    The issues with bat-form are out of chase things like having them teleport to a window right next to your gen and transform back to Dracula before you were ever aware of their presence.
    Then in vampire form they can camp easier by multi-hitting the unhooked and the unhooker for free (It isnt bubba levels of bad but its pretty nasty; Similarly to bubba-camp its just a minor annoying thing and doesn't really need fixed).

    There is literally a smoke that warns survivors where he is teleporting, and the Bat form has a global audio cue that tells survivors that they should be aware as he can teleport.

    Right now Vampire form is decent, Bat form is decent-good and Wolf form is absolutely terrible.

    The problem people has is with Shapeshift 2.5 secs CD, but they still bash Bat form anyways. Before all the Bat buffs, Dracula could still hit someone, trasnform into Bat and catch up the survivor quickly. And yet Bat form was deemed a bit underpowered and needed buffs.

    Wolf form needs to be buffed hard by actually tracking survivors when the tracking is most needed: outside of chase.

    Pyramid could also alredy do the same thing. So i didnt see it as a new problem. But yea ive even teleported to people ontop of the singularity ship and hit them before they can even start running for the stairs

    Dracula is overtuned, but it's mostly because his kit is insanely overloaded. They gave one killer the powers of 5 different killers. Individually those powers are weaker than their associated killers, but when all are loaded onto a single killer they become overwhelming.

    Bat: Spirit + Dredge

    Wolf: Wesker + Oni

    Man: Literally just Pyramid Head

    I think it's mostly just the bat that's problematic. Flame pillar is fun to juke and so is the wolf, kinda.
