Which killer do you think will be killed in the next patch after Chucky and SM?
There will be a random killer nerf with every update. Who do you think will be the next killer to get nerfed in to the ground?
Maybe thrill of the hunt will be nerfed to be worse than version before they buff it like what happened with thanatophobia.

Hopefully Blight or Nurse if we're lucky.

Negativity leads to nothing but misery. Trust me.
Try to stay positive. Enjoy things how they are right now.

Me. They will nerf me by progressively removing the birds from the game.
7 -
There won't be any Killers that need it after this.
2 -
Remember that they had Plague and Pinhead on the roadmap?
I'd expect both of them to get gutted in near future as they are 2 next most hated by the survivors killera
5 -
I'm a little worried for what the devs are doing with Freddy.
6 -
Finally, Artist nerfs.
8 -
Hopefully the devs will stop destroying killers just because the survivor doesn't like them.
I'm worried too.
2 -
I don't want any more killers getting gutted into the ground
2 out of 4 killers (Chucky and skully) that I like playing got nerfed into the ground
Chucky mostly since his change made him miserable to play
2 -
We all are, my friend.
To be fair, my friend, the Skull Merchant didn't need nerfs either.
5 -
It's wild because the speed "nerf" on paper is barely even a nerf (you gain the same amount of distance and spend a measly 0.6 seconds extra) so I guess this goes to show that on-paper calculations aren't everything
Old S&D: (10 m/sec - 4 m/sec) * 1.2 sec = 7.2 meters gained
New S&D: (8 m/sec - 4 m/sec) * 1.8 sec = 7.2 meters gained
...I'm realizing now, is it possible the new Slice and Dice is coded wrong somehow and the Chucky's not getting the distance he should?
2 -
No time for theories. Play blight for free bp until they break his legs like they did with the C H U C C
6 -
Even if distance was the same it would still be a nerf, as it being slower lets a survivor cut a corner or put an obstacle in between them and chucky faster, so even if he can travel the same in loops his power is worse.
5 -
they'll check what killer is basically mid to.play and destroy it lol
4 -
Its the same distance yes but trying to use it around tiles gives survivors WAY more time to move out of the way when they already could before. So in that aspect the speed nerf is definitely a nerf.
1 -
oh look, such a refreshing topic and a completely new take (as BHVR just started this Trend with SM and Chucky and there is definitiv only Killer nerfs ever and no buffs), formulated in a constructive way so BHVR will definitley take it to heart
Lovely
8 -
Yeah that's probably it, the difference around corners is hard to quantify with back-of-the-napkin math, that's where he's starting to feel less like free hits and more like no hits

I deeply worry that the Killer buffs we've had could be undone by Survivor perk buffs needlessly going crazy in the future. :(
1 -
What's a completely random choice that makes little to no sense and isn't necessary whatsoever…
Legion. Legion is next.
0 -
I wouldn't worry too much about that because the game is nowhere close to being survivor sided at the moment, imho. For all the recent killer buffs to be undone completely it would take time, and a lot of changes.
I'm more concerned with the killers who are already set for changes. Skull Merchant was fine the way she was, this whole execution was unnecessary. And she'll get another rework, when we have a clear history of reworks that failed.
Freddy's rework is also approaching, and we know nothing about that, except for the extremely disappointing fact that it won't be a return to Old Freddy.Recent changes haven't been good, so I'm once again worried about my favorite killer.
6 -
I think it's gonna be either Huntress or Wesker
People despise these spam killers
0 -
As a freddy main, i'm very scared for the rework
2 -
I greatly appreciate your ancient Freddy main wisdom, friend. It really scares me when I also main an M1 Killer to see other Killers get the nerf hammer like this just because Survivors refuse to learn the counterplay.
2 -
Not always the chase. Remember the last time Piggy got an update?
Many people pointed out that the nerf to her RBT - timer would severely nerf her, despite the buffs to her chase (which frankly didn't even do that much except JMF), which resulted in the timer - nerf not going live.
Of course our lady has a track record of being nerfed over the years, making it not look good at all if any nerf heavily outweights the buff, but this still shows that constructive criticism helps.
And trust me, a Pig well played can become a menace.

I already can see my Boy Singularity getting Hard nerfed i already have seen ppl here complaining about him that he is unfun to play against and since BHVR instant nerf " unfun " Heroes he is 100% being 1 of the next Killers
7 -
Do they gut Liscensed killers? I mean Freddy… ya know what? Nevermind. I knew the answer all along :(
0 -
I wasnt programmed for nerfs.
8 -
I mean, they just did that with Chucky
1 -
Ancient Freddy wisdom? Thanks friend, I appreciate the compliment.
Unfortunately, nerfs caused by players who refused to learn how to play against things that aren't problematic is always a real possibility.
Freddy I think is temporarily safe, because most people complain about how weak he is. But this immunity will only last until the January changes, after that he won't be safe. No character is.
1 -
Check any tier list. Ignore the top 3 S+ killers, look into the B or C tiers, randomly select 5 of those, those are the ones getting nerfed. BH wants every killer to play nurse, blight or hillbilly, the rest are just eye candy. Chucky got nerfed in every aspect. Add ons, chase, stealth and map pressure.
4 -
Pretty worried about Vecna and Dracula. Wesker came out 2 years ago. He's a crappy anti looper compared with what we have today, so that's why they buffed him a little giving gloves basekit.
Also I would call Billy a spam, not Wesker.Post edited by Dadeordye on2 -
Blight, Huntress, Singularity. Who knows, at this point? Every killer that can do something besides mindlessly M1 chase is a target.
5 -
Singularity. Pay attention to the content creators and what they complain about those are often the things that get changed. Otz and a few others have posted videos about slugging and singularity so i suspect that is what is next.
3 -
I certainly think a lot of the outcry comes whenever content creators do stuff. It's the same reason everyone has the same exact tierlists despite the fact you don't need tierlists unless you play comp. Everything works fine at the casual/pubs level. Ask any M1 Main.

Did you summon me 😏
1 -
Vecna they are slow gutting him mostly on mage hand cause they have no idea how to balance it. Dracula I think they gonna keep nerfing hellfire and batform
1 -
Sadly this does makes sense 😥

Lol In the latest patch they just killed off the houndmaster addon.

Chucky got nerfed in basically every aspect. Not only add ons. Dracula too.
1 -
Hopefully, none.
1 -
Freddy is due to rework and I expect him to get nerfed right after it, since survivors seem to be incapable of dealing with any killer with 4v1 focused kit.
0 -
That’s okay. I’ll tear and rip my way through the trials one way or another. Nothing will stop me.

Not again….
Please, not again.
