Ghoul release decreased the games quality extremely

Ghoul is now out for 4-5 weeks, its not just you play against Ghoul literally every single game, but they did not fixed the vault instant M1 bug yet. This bug is known since the release of Ghoul. Furthermore is the general cooldown while vaulting paletts far to low, especially since 90% of the killers have a ping of 60+ which makes literally every "shorter" loop unplayable. The "nerfs" which have been done were completely wrong. Very sad since BHVR announced the "big quality offensive".

    It's not a bug, it's to prevent survivors from sneaking behind you during a vault to avoid the hit. There's a lot of things that are frustrating about playing against the Ghoul, but this one is understandable.

    People are playing ghoul because he is accessible, powerful and fun. I get that it can be stale agoing against the same killer over and over again but saying that releasing a fun, powerful and acessable killer based on a popular IP somehow made the game worse is lunacy.

    I think that depends on what we mean by accessible. A killer shouldn't be released in a state like Kaneki was. He was easy enough to use and strong enough that it took practically no time for players using him to make the gameplay feel pointless for survivors going against him.

    My feeling is that the gameplay upon release should present challenges for both the killer and survivors they're going against. The killer player should have to be learning how to use the killer, and survivors should need to learn counterplay to it.

    If one side of the match is just dominating every game, something is wrong with the design. And if that scenario becomes so common that it's most of what people are encountering, I would say that likely does have a negative impact on the game's health. Ultimately, release should feel at least somewhat balanced. Kaneki didn't feel that way at all, which is why he got so much backlash.

    I do agree though, that the killer power shouldn't be so awkward that it can't even be used, so BHVR has to be trying for a balanced experience upon release. As you mentioned, it has to be accessible, just not trivial.

    This occurs even if you don't vault sometimes. The other night I had it happen to me after throwing a pallet, not even vaulting it. It's buggy and weird right now.

    Actually there is a bug involving this situation and that's this "M1" sometimes doesn't trigger.
    Wesker suffers this since his release as well.

    Why do people give a damn about the new accounts that are just whining that we see every so often on the weekends?lol

    That is beyond weird and I have no idea what would cause something like that if he didn't even vault. You are absolutely sure it wasn't just some weird latency problem?

    Nevertheless, I can only pray they fix these bugs finally, at the latest when Springtrap releases.

    I guarantee you are not seeing Ghoul “literally every single match”. His usage dropped way off after the initial release and recent nerf. I probably see him in at most 1 in 10 matches now.

    honestly the only thing I dislike about them now is how fast they get around the map, but that's hopefully gonna be eased with anti tunnel etc (return to the hook playstyles) and what not. I also don't really care for how they still keep you in place for 3 seconds to make cartoony slurp noises at you as you lose your exhaustion speedboost from it.

    Now when I play against them I have no idea why people enjoy some teenager that screams so much and makes comical slurping noises LOL.

    he is getting more tolerable to face but people are gonna complain about this killer regardless, can't say I enjoy their addition to the game, but I'm happy for those who like the IP.
