This new killer is an atrocity
I gotta add my two cents even tho I see multiple posts like this. I’d really like to know what the devs justification for releasing this killer like this was, especially after all the PTB feedback that pointed out exactly what the problem was going to be.
If they don’t fix this, the Blood Moon Event tomorrow is going to be horrible. Why would you release such a strong oppressive killer with absolutely zero skill floor? Nurse is strong. Blight is strong. But they take actual skill to master effectively. This killer can literally be played by anyone with ease. I never play killer and I’ve gotten nothing but 4Ks. As survivor the auto aim is just absolutely stupid. The free first hits, the hits around legit hard corners, thru walls, the unacceptable hit boxes, his ridiculously long leap with what cooldown? And there’s no downside to missed leaps. He still gets the hits off
Then let’s talk about the synergy with strong aura perks like BBQ, friends to the end, lethal pursuer. This killer can hook and be across the map on you in 1-2 seconds flat. What’s the counter play? The nerfed distortion perk? His IRI add on that makes everyone scream literally every time he hooks someone is just free constant information and every single killer is running that. His add ons are definitely an issue.
I legit just don’t understand who or why anyone in BHVR felt this was good. I’m not into conspiracies but at this point it does feel like a cash grab. “Let’s release this super strong anime killer who is gonna be really popular so people feel awesome playing him and getting brainless wins then nerf after enough backlash.” This game is 9 years in. There’s no way anyone on the dev team who plays this game didn’t see the issues here. And of course every single match is a Kaneki because everyone knows he’s a brainless strong killer to play so it’s a great opportunity for killers to boost their XP, their pips and their bloodpoints. Who can blame them? In more then 22 hours of game play since the release I’ve gotten a non-ghoul killer 4 times. I kept track. That is so boring and frustrating.
Normally when bad releases happen I just play thru them begrudgingly until they’re fixed. This is the first time I’m literally done with this game until they fix this. I will come back for sure but not until this is addressed. This is beyond unacceptable and absolutely a miserable experience every time I boot up.

you word it so well!!! it's fine to have good killers with low skill floors, HOWEVER they still need to have drawbacks for such a strong power!! he needs higher cooldowns/longer + added fatigues to curb his lethality

Some of this I have to believe is unintended or buggy mechanics.
I genuinely don't believe that they actually intended the killer to be able to down people during (what should be) the power cooldown or hit through walls, floors, and terrain.
Tho clearly there's an intended auto aim feature, which is probably way too generous right now. Though I don't play console, so I feel like I can't speak to how strong auto aim really should be (could be that a weaker autoaim would be really rough, I personally can't say).

This killer has such insane mobility that you don't even need aura perks. Zero downside to running quad slowdown on this killer. The skill floor is in the basement. My first game was a 2k on Hawkins (never played the ptb), and I've had nothing but 3k/4ks since. Survivors haven't even completed all the gens since my first game.

And here’s the thing. I don’t want them to take a sledgehammer to him. I think it’s acceptable for him to be a stronger killer who is fun to play as and against. But if hes gonna be strong it has to be harder to play him and should be an high skill floor. He does need some downsides to his strength. Right now there is nothing and that’s the problem.

You think it’s more likely that someone who never plays killer is suddenly getting 4Ks with a brand new killer because every single team I go against is garbage? Rather then the fact that the new killer is super overtuned which a huge part of this playerbase has also said they’re experiencing? Thanks for the ego boost but no.

If there was zero skill floor, he wouldn't have a fail state on his power when a thing you wanted to attach to was too far or too close. Or when you want to zip in front of somebody, and are unable to because they moved to block YOU.

The situation may seem ugly right now, rest assured that bhvr constantly changes things even after it gets past the ptb. Skull merchant was released more than two years ago and she is still getting reworked. I just want to remind you that there is indeed light at the end of the tunnel. Take care.

Disaster killer release. Absolute disrespect for survivor player base.
