Singularity seems too overpowered right now

So pretty much my experience is literally every single game with any Singularity is we have the choice to either run away and get him to teleport to us infinitely until he hits you inevitably through a pallet or just breaks all pallets or waste all of our time to print emps that stop his power from working for 5 seconds because all of them spam the stupid camera on any loop and you cant do anything at all about it. If you used up an emp doesnt matter because they replace the camera instantly so you are pretty much left with nothing. Pallets are useless against him half the time and he eats them up super fast and emps are useless and they dont even print themselves even if you leave them alone. We must make an input which is absurd. At this point we might as well jump on the hook ourselves. The only reason I last in chase for more than 10 seconds is because most of them miss one swing from their confusion from the extra speed boost in overclock mode. Other than that it is a gg the moment you know its singularity.

    What do you mean not waste emps???? I shouldn't use an emp to remove the slipstream. Then should I use an emp to disable his camera once before he replaces it with a new one? Sorry but your logic is absurd my dude.

    You're just talking without thinking and making assumptions. By your logic. Its absurd. Ask before you try to pop off.

    I think his main weakness is if people group up on gens while he chases someone else, there no way for him to get to the other people with adisabled cameras across the map and if everyones in one spot where he only has the one disabled camera hes forced to slowly walk allllll the way across the map to dispurse people. So opposite of legion. Also since 1 glowstick can cure a whole group, sticking together also counters his slipstream when it seems the opposite by spreading with proximity.

    so soloq needs to just go next?

    Tbh i don't like to go against him either because i just hate this concept of killers spamming their abilities. I usually play in 4man SWFs and it's a binary game, either it's a baby singularity who has no idea how to play him or it's a tryhard p100 3000hours Singu and then it's just gg next. I agree with some points of Op that his counter is not a real counter if the Singu is somewhat decent. 5-6 Seconds without a new slipstream seems not unrealistic sometimes and you cannot have 3 other players with an EMP on standby, the maximum is one otherwise you throw the game. My only true problem with singu is the camera that guarantees a hit. Even if you are around a corner after firing the shot, its a hit, no matter what so reacting is absouletly impossbile or even useless

    Yeah righto I forgot that in solo que all survivors know exactly where the killer is and can actually tell each other when to use an emp to save each other. Sorry but even if the team knows what they are doing you still have 4 emps to work with unless you think we can instantly print an emp. They slowly get printed even if you manually do it. And actually thanks for giving me another reason. So even if you want to counter his power you have to waste A LOT of precious time printing an emp instead of doing a generator.

    Sorry but I haven't heard you say any actual evidence despite don't waste an emp and be smart. I suggest you go play against singularity and tell me later if you managed to counter him with your one emp. If you truthfully survive for more than 2 minutes of being chased either I am very bad or you faced a very newbie singularity that has not realised he can spam his camera on every loop

    Very well said man. Literally I played with a friend once against him and the only reason he lasted more than 30 seconds in a chase was because I had an emp and knew where he was. You just can't expect solo que survivors to somehow know where first their teammate is being chased then second when to use the emp and third to magically print a new emp in the next 5 seconds before the singularity slipstreams you again because he can put his cameras everywhere. He benefits heavily on most maps. That specific time we were on RPD which was better for us but most maps he can put his cameras even somewhere sneaky and have a visiblity on almost everything. Overall needs some kind of actual nerf or small rework maybe. Even making the emps work twice would be better especially considering we cant even use our items while holding the stupid emp. Seriously how the hell one killer gets to do so much just cause he exists.

    Same just spam spam teleport free hit rinse and repeat, since another reason ill take a nurse over a killer like this, if she messes up and loses LOS she is in hot water no matter how good she is, not spamminglarity once he pods you with a lame build in spirit fury to boot thanks to over clock. So your going to go down no matter what since he can he dont even slow down when he teles on you.

    I really wish people( not saying you) stop trying to think everything is beatable as swf. Little people know that the same things solo q struggle with or hate or find op, so can a swf, if skull mechant aint a big example cause my swf and I could not stand that waste of space failure.

    thank god I am not the only one seeing how absurd singularity is thank you

    Yeah Singularity is awful for the casual playerbase in his reworked form, yet what he is designed to play against he doesn't even do well at, it's a flop rework as huge as a flop as Legions who also is designed to counter solo Q with the self mending addons instead of multi hit.

    I was wondering who the next boogyman was going to be after Merchant was unfairly made into the worst killer in the game.

    I have a p40 singularity. I was there when he was in the PTB, I was there when they made changes to him over the early summer. I have been against him numerous times. He is definitely not on my list of "Concerns" when it comes to killer.

    Your chases aren't meant to last more than 2 minutes a chase. If you're averaging that than cool but your expectations are too high and each killer is different. Quite frankly if you are getting 2 minutes chases in then your mmr for survivor than your lobbies are fresh or were lowered.

    He is meant to have his power, you are not suppose to be able to deny his power at every single loop. The only real buff he got was a partial basekit of somas photo for 3% haste in overclock. yay? Emps were slightly buffed for survivors with the exception of NOT getting them for free because the crate loads them up by themselves for the survivor so the survivor has to take 4 seconds to collect it themselves.

    Okay I agree 2 minutes is too much. I am mostly saying it can last 20 seconds with this kind of oppresion at most. The only players that can outlast him are the ones who have a ton of experience everyone else are screwed in all situations I still dont get how its fair he can deny you the usage of a pallet he can already break them super fast and vault overall fast in overclock so why does he get free hit if he gets in the way of the pallet? At least that should be a counterplay just like any other killer. I guess we have to wait for the usage to go high once people find out he can destroy survivors who can't communicate I suppose.
