Krasue suggested balancing tweaks
Krasue is an awesome design and I love the Killer. Playing her is a lot of fun but I did notice things that felt a little too overpowered.
First time playing her I noticed that even if I was stunned or punished for making a mistake. In head form I could easily close the gap while in chase. Survivors making 'one' mistake can cost them the whole game but often Killers can make several mistakes and still win those matches.
I think flight mode in head form should hide Survivors. Similar to Dracula's Bat form or Spirits phasing.
The projectiles are really fun but also are far too easy to learn. Especially since you can see where the projectile will hit. I think much like Nurse an addon can be added to allow players to see where they are going to hit but I think it should be hidden. Adding to the skill required to aim. I also think the projectiles need more weight to them. Nothing like FNAF killer with his axe but a bit of heft and weight to the projectile so you have to aim up a bit to get your hit.
All this said, I am a Survivor main and I just play Killer to take breaks in between. I mean, killers mains play survivor to experience a challenge. Survivor mains play killer to take a break…
—All I am saying is, I am going to be playing killer a bit more cause this killer is fun but coming from a side that generally is more challenging. I find the overall direction of these killers to be frustratingly easy. To the point I feel pampered playing Killer and I hate it. It's one of, if not the main reason I don't main killer. It's like a guilty pleasure, it is so easy it's laughing fun but after awhile I am like okay I want an actual challenge cause now i just feel bad for these Survivors. Yes I do verse P100 survivors sometimes, lol. My favourite moments playing killer is when I face a SWF cause I know I am actually getting a challenge.—
I hope these suggestions will at least be taken into consideration as I believe they would aid in balancing the Krasue and making the overall experience more enjoyable for Survivors while maintaining the fun of playing the killer and in some ways perhaps make the killer more satisfying to play regarding a skill level.

I think these are pretty bad ideas.

This already is an addon, and not a base feature.
I think all she needs is a slightly increased cooldown on the projectile, and infection to be cleansed when hooked.

She needs increased animation times, cooldowns, and her m1 should not be instant after using her power. A lot of her issues are simply that she has too much speed. It's also a problem that her abilities are both AntinTransition and AntiLoop. That combo basically spells hard-core sweat games with no wiggle room for Survivors.

Ya I saw the addon, my mistake on that.
Although I do agree that cooldowns or animation times will help but only slightly. Even if she gets a slight boost we might either end back up at PTB numbers or around it. Not to mention Krasue was tested in an environment that had the slugging/tunnelling mechanics implemented. That was cancelled and in my opinion it messed with the release of this killer. All their data is practically biased and poorly reflects how non-PTB players were going to experience this killer now that the slugging update was cancelled.
Thing is, she is like if plague, vecna, unknown, legion and nemi had a child. Nemi being for the head form ya know more an aesthetic comparison with the tentacle-intestinal whips lol. She shoots projectiles like unknown but the affects are basically plagues vomit and she can fly closing gaps similar to vecna. Oh and she can vault pallets like legion in head form.
It's quite literally like someone went shopping at a superhero convention with near unlimited wealth and said oh I like that one and that one oooh and this one oohhh what if we just combined all these things!!! With little to no concern for the consequences of combining all these powers. Resulting in this Frankenstein of a deadly but fun killer to play but not verse.
Krasue is a lot of fun I love her concept but there is no universe nor animation tweaking that will "fix" her so that Survivors have fun versing her as well. She needed a rework yesterday.
Heck I honestly thought like others that her head was originally going to act like the twins. Even if her head was going to act like a camera allowing her to remain insidious with no terror radius but able to gather intel on Survivors. I just figured something cause Krasue shouldnt have all those organs etc.. from my understanding but i get the creative liberty to make her more scary.
Honestly looking back at my ideas I think you are right they aren't the best and they won't actually fix the underlying issue. The more I play her the more I just think she is Superman. I mean Superman with no kryptonite yet. She is this awesome silly fun overpowered killer but versing her is like saying ya versing superman is fun. Nobody wants a dude who can lift a city up with one hand and shoot laser beams out his eyes, is bullet proof… to punch you in da face lol. That's what versing the Krasue is like for Survivors right now. It's like a Nemi spawn of an abomination given crack cocaine and told be free my child in every match it goes to!

I would like to add since testing, i removed all addons, no perks. Just straight vanilla killer. I did only head and only body form. Both were powerful on their own.
People just straight up DC or give up near the end of the match. I had Survivors who didn't even care to chase anymore they simply accepted their fate. That was only in body form or only head form as well. Not just when I used both forms.
I will say the body form felt more rewarding over the head form. Head form felt unfun and like that feeling you get from trickster. Hitting multiple times consistently in a row just to get the injured state before downing. Except trickster is more fun than this. I think it's around 4 hits to essentially down a Survivor but flying closes the gap so much that I had no issue winning every match.
Where as in body form I felt more satisfaction from the projectiles. Hitting gens basically infects all Survivors on the gen. It felt like I was playing Plague a bit but minus the vomit. Honestly if this killer was released as if it wasn't a krasue. I think it would of been far better received even if it had similarities to plague-and-unknown.
In my opinion, I think the head form should be reworked completely. The body form is fun but the head is just a nightmare.
