If you can change DEMOGORGON and DRACULA, 2 of the best designed killers, over Skull Merchant with the state that she's is in….

Will be big sad.

    They should just deactivate her until she gets changed next year with a full rework. Tired of the crying and I played ALOT of Skull Merchant before her changes.

    Why does Freddy changes have to be so far out yet so close

    They're probably buffing Demo's portals again.

    Dracula is overtuned and needs nerfs. He should get buffs to his Wolf Form though.

    I would love to see some buffs to his wolf form in exchange for shapeshift timing nerfs. I've gotten a better handling on it, but it can still feel a tad clunky at times

    I'll give them an easy one to start… Make it so charging hellfire while walking doesn't slow you down so much. It hinders it from performing as an effective anti-loop like PoTD when it slows him down so much. Not a big numbers tweak, but enough that it feels on par with PH.

    Skull Mommy has already been tweaked. AKA nerfed. However, she will likely get reworked next year.

    There's a reason hellfire isn't on par with PH and it's because he has two other abilities to work with in his kit. Why the hell would anyone play PH when they can just play Dracula with a buffed hellfire, mini wesker, and a mini spirit to fall back on in case he somehow makes a mistake in chase. Thank god forum users don't work for this game

    No offense, but you clearly lack knowledge, awareness, and understanding of killer gameplay, and sounds like you don't know DBD. PH sits at a ~2.5% pick rate as it is already. He's been out for years and has a dedicated playerbase…Changing Dracula's Walking Speed while charging Hellfire would hardly be a reason for not picking Pyramid Head. They are two compeltely different killers with completely different mechanics. PH can still completely bypass hooks, negate healing perks, DS, and unhook condition perks, and has a built in Mori. Arguably PoTD will also remain better because it is longer (giggity) than hellfire, and has a much shorter CD so you can spam it 3x more at loops, PoTD travels through objects, walls, and such a bit more consistently and predictably, and on top of that it effectively zones with rites so you can fake it without losing much distance… I'm pretty certain people who aren't going to play him have already moved on to other killers by this point. If anything the biggest deterrent to PH is that he is so clunky, add-ons are bad, and he is in need of an update…

    So…why the hell would anyone play Dracula if his transition speed is slow, cooldowns are longer, walking speed is slow on anti-loop, and can only rely on wolf form in chase? I'll be generous and give it 2-3 months after that nerf for people to get fed up with how bad and clunky he feels until he falls into obscurity with the rest who aren't Nurse/Blight/Spirit/Wesker.

    I hope SM is NOT on this list, simply because I don't want they waste time on something that will be drastically changed later. What's the point? Let's just wait out to full rework in 2025, as they said.

    Im concerned for the portal buffs cause impossible totem builds on demogorgon are so atrocious when they use lifeguard whistle 100% uncounterable surveillance on their hex totem can't even cleanse the portal causeit still detect when going near it

    Kind of ironic, you'd hear nothing but SM hate for the longest time. When she gets gutted it's almost like everyone feels bad and wants her back lol.

    To clarify as a Demogorgon main;

    Demogorgon does have a skill ceiling, it isnt the highest there is but I really wish people didnt act like Shred "takes no skill" when you can still pull off some crazy stuff with them.

    Demogorgon's addons are not bad, the issue is lack of addon variety. Demogorgon as 4 addons dedicated to Shred and 17 addons dedicated to Portals (1 is a hybrid addon), Shred is the ability that most people play Demogorgon for and the lack of fun or interesting addons for Shred cuts down on the variety, and Portal addons are too inflated compared to Shred addons.

    My main concern with Demogorgon being overbuffed is how BHVR might handle the Killer as a whole. I dont want to see a Twins Rework redux. I dont want Demogorgon to get omega-buffed only to get nerfed or rendered unplayable.

    • ALSO, we saw the Unknown get changes to reduce "M2 Faking" and M2 Faking is a common complaint Demogorgon players get. It is also likely that we might see M2 Faking get removed or punished, but it will likely just make Demogorgon feel clunky or more unfun since you are not encouraged to go for fancy plays.

    The only thing I want/expect from this is Teleportation Speed to be increased, reduce map-wide audio for Demogorgon in general, and an addon pass to just increase addon variety. Anything else will have me concerned.

    I don't know too much about Demo, haven't played him in years. The map wide audio imo is one of his biggest issues. Dredge got a nice teleport move speed buff...can't see why Demo should be left out.

    I'd rather they rework the addon and buff Demo than keeping him in this state. Devourgorgon is pretty nasty but outside of such builds, he is quite terrible.

    I hope they don't gut Dracula, he's perfectly fine, could use a few tweaks maybe, but he is otherwise perfectly ok.

    I hope the Demo change involves fixing his hitbox, so that he doesn’t miss M2 attacks when survivors crouch.

    I can’t imagine how they’d change Demogorgon, it seems to be in a decent place. Maybe a couple of add-ons become base kit. I like Dracula but he feels overtuned to face, there’s virtually no cool downs on any of his powers and that’s a problem. Maybe he’ll just have some numbers tweaked.

    Aaaaand its not her.

    Clearly Wesker, Dracula,, and demo are higher priorities than skull merchant rn.
