Now that we have had Springtrap for nearly a month, how do we feel about them?

Finally something we can agree on.

I mean he is just more chase orianted huntress with mobility and some stealth aspect, nothing crazy and his axe is stronger on loops but harder to hit due to smaller hitbox.

He has sound when he pulls his axe ready to throw it, difference with him is he is still supossed to be little stealthy with ranged attack so you need to pay attention.

He is quite hqrder than huntress you got only one shot and further the target is the harder it gets, longer you hold your axe more of orbital you get.

But I know what bothers you with him zoning but look at it going for crazy shots if fun but ir rarely works just like crazy shots with huntress or orbitals with her. He has same problems where people play him simple way just hold axe zone or zone recall the axe and get vault hit etc., simular problem is with huntress and she is even better proxycamper than him and very good zoner too. Getting that crazy shots when you throw axe across the sshack and hit the survivor on opposite side is super rare inconsistent and hard to pull of thats why many players choose the easier and more reiable way to play thoose killers (mainly speeking about springtrap and huntress), on top of that he isnt that super strong just mediocre killer which makes plays like this even less common. Same goes for billy(going for saw on every loop), pyramidhead(going for flicks on every loop), etc.

Just hitting shot isnt that easy with thing like orbital or super long shot with gues the survivor will be there, shots like these will miss most times they are just something more you can do with the killer like sky billy aspect (untill it was destroyed). If you played theese killers with only going for crazy shots you would loose 99% of times before some tens or hundreds hours you tried you would get better but still if you look on coconut with his orbitals when he tries then normaly in game he misses the most and he is surprised he hits some, these hits are rare and inconsistent so you cant rely on them to get even single hook thats it. Good aim is rewarded ofcourse, I believe you know the difference between normal huntress and huntress that snipes you across the map or is hitting you 20 meters away.

I love playing as him. I wish his power was something else, since I'm horrible when it comes to aiming, but when I do hit those crazy shots over loops and hear that survivor scream and sound of the axe hitting it just puts a big goofy smile on my face lol

I wouldnt mind them if they weren't all tunnel bunnies. Like even huntress could snipe you at the hook from afar but barely ever does. Tunnel bunny will always wait in the door nearby and start right away with axe+grab right off the hook. Its not much different than kaneki zooming over in 1.3 seconds and putting you back down before you can enjoy the feeling of standing again. Same thing seemed to happen with weskers launch, any killer that can get back to a hook quickly seems to attract tunnelers in bulk.

Aside from that hes decent to play as, and seems strong if u can aim, easy to loop if you cant aim.

Love playing as him, love playing against him!

Yet there are still a few things I would like to see changed about him, such as:

• Block doors from being traveled to when near a hooked Survivor kinda like Dredge has with Lockers
• Aura door clutter, I do not need to see all doors at all times, just show me the 3 nearest doors please
• Survivors using the cameras doesn't feel worth it at least in Solo Q, survivors should get bps for interacting with doors in any way in case you do not find the killer
• The camera Aura reveal shouldn't be blocked by blindness, it even has that killer power specific aura color that should be always visible
• Miss cooldown without the miss cooldown reduction add-on feels too long, buff it to 6 seconds from 7 seconds and nerf the add-on to 10% again

Don't like him, but i don't like FNAF at all.

I also think the camping and tunneling abilities this killer has are little too great.

Move the doors further from the gens.

Lower his speed when he is holding the axe up, like huntress.

Don't allow him to teleport near hooked survivor. Everytime i see them returning to hooks..Throwing axe to someones back and insta grab them, its boring and people call ghoul talentless?

I was a hater before live release (and a little after release) but he's grown on me both ways.

The whole "camping in/returning to a door next to a hooked survivor" thing could maybe stand to be addressed, and Glitchtrap being ever so slightly P2W (to the point where most Springtraps I play against are using the skin) is irritating, but other than that I feel like the killer rewards skill on both sides adequately and doesn't feel that BS to go against. He just requires a little bit of knowledge & attention on the survivor end to counter his mobility more than anything.

Good power design, good add-on design (especially after the changes), stellar artistic design…nothing for me to hate here really.

I think he's probably B tier but I also think very few people are actually playing him to his potential so it's hard to say for sure.

I think part of this is because so many people are comparing him to Huntress just because they both have hatchets which doesn't really make any sense to me. It's like comparing Myers to Ghost Face just because they both stalk when they play completely differently when one wants to go on one big snowball rampage chase and the other is trying to stop any chases from happening in the first place and wants quick takedowns.

This is very similar, Huntress is the zoning queen and taking people down from range whereas Springtrap wants to surprise people with stealth and wants a quick 1-2 takedown with either an axe into a grab or a m1 into an ax throw and I think this is where people are messing up because I go up against so many springtraps either not leveraging their stealth or throwing an ax and then just doing nothing and waiting for their ax to come back and they're wasting so much time pretending they're Huntress.

So I'm gonna say Springtrap is B tier for now but it's very possible I haven't seen his true potential yet because he does have A tier mobility at the very least just most people don't have his chase down I don't think.

I dont even care how good/bad he is, i'm just so tired of it being him 90% of the time i play survivor.

Needs the huntress treatment for his axe, slow on hold, slow on throw and a slight delay on throwing when he gets it back imo. Being able to catch up as 4.6 needs more of a downside tbh.

Absolutely hate playing against him. Stealth and ranged should not be a combination.

I don't intend to buy him so I've only experienced him as surv. The killer himself is mid, but I feel like you don't even have to be able to aim to hit with that axe. I get hit by unskilled players who I'm pretty sure would miss every throw as Huntress. But I'm not worked up about it or anything.

The doors need work. I'd like to see an adjustment, either a feature to temp lock them, or just don't spawn them right on top of some gens. Give survivors an incentive to use them too. As is, almost no one ever interacts with them in the games I play against him.

It'd also be cool if he'd look in the direction he's aiming.

That would make an already mid tp useless, you could prerun half the map as soon as you saw that. Also global ambient noises muffle when he is using the doors, if you see any decent playoff of actually good players you will see them using this to avoid surprise attacks.

Miserable killer built for camping and tunneling. Power that theoretically has a high skill ceiling but is just used to zone you in the most boring way possible. And the power is entirely derivative of earlier killers. He's not overpowered or anything though.

holy sh*t it’s basically been already a month since springtraps release. where did all the time go wth🤣

I like playing against him, but anything would look good after Kaneki.

You can juke his axe quite well and it's amazing to watch ambitious Springtraps trying orbitals.

I am getting trolled, idk why I tried to engage, well played I took the bait like a dumb fish.
