Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

Ghoul needs more changes ASAP

Please don't tell me we will have to wait like a month for more changes. He is currently overpowered, bugged and plagued majority of games with his insane pickrate thanks to being fun but also broken killer.

His bugs make him even more oppresive, his vault (old scamper for Chucky) is stupid and his range on his ability to injure is too far as well. I even noticed ghouls started to wait for the power to attempt to drain blood from you right after you vault to gain insane vault speed and cancel the cooldown super short. He is easy killer with auto-aim like attack with insane range. I am so sick of this killer and I am thinking of dropping playing until he is fixed. He is easy top 3 killer atm and he is too strong for how easy he is.

    If you're getting hit by the scamper. Skill issue. It's incredibly easy to play around. Here this will help.

    Huh for some reason its not embedding correctly. Give me a moment.
    Yeah for some reason the video just doesn't like to work but you can look up Lukadoosh on X and his pinned post has counterplay to ghoul.

    You hit the nail on the head, just stop playing. Enough survivors have gone this route and bhvr is starting to take notice.

    For the event I got about 5 Ghouls in a row today. I tend to get a bit less often on normal mode.

    They all seem to come back to hook but this 1 game was laughably bad. They proxy camped every hook they got. Might as well have been facecamping. Such riveting gameplay!

    Whoever gave the all clear for this killer needs the sack or demotion at least. This is the worst spell in dbd history from my years of playing survivor. I could just play killer (I have more self respect than using that trash) but most archives I need to do are survivor so I either put up with them or quit. Hurry up please! You guys dug this hole!

    that's probably the hardest part to play around when you're hit by it actually I find.

    Agreed. For me, the biggest problem is how uninteractive his gameplay loop is. He gets nearby - auto hit, you try running to a pallet - he whips ahead of you with next to no exhaustion on ability cancel, you try gaming a pallet, he fast vaults. His enrage lasts too long for almost no effort on the part of the killer, and the auto-aim rewards him for being "good enough" when a lot of other killers' special attacks have much smaller margins of error, such as Xenomorph and Unknown.

    The problem is that with the Ghoul the most fun parts of any match are pretty much always the parts where you don't have to interact with him.

    Hey lets make a killer that can cross the entire map in 2 s and gets an autohit on anyone nearby if he just aims in the general direction of that survivor +- 90 degree.

    To compete with Kaneki, a minimum level of knowledge and skill is essential. (e.g. knowledge of the map, looping skills, etc.)

    Players who can't do that can only complain and scream here.

    Sad to say, but this is inevitable.

    lets nerf the new top 5 into b tier so we can get more blights!

    The Ghoul with all the nerfs he's recieved over the month is completely gutted, unplayable and no one is playing him currently. He's a victim of the kind of design that plagues this game, release and then nerf once a month has passed
