One of most killer sided updates in history
Krasue is an S+ tier tunneling machine with low skill ceiling, braindead to play, ignoring everything expect walls. If you get infected, the counterplay is 0.
I get the killers gotta be strong at release to boost sales but Krause is overkill.
Ruin at 150% changed the meta, hook markers for easiest tunnel, Unknown buffed, Myers buffed.
Survivors perks, gutted.
Every game I've played yesterday was Ruin, Undying, Pain res, and another strong slow down. Impossible to deal with in solo q.
With those builds at any killer and the quality of survivors the matches are auto win except the killer falls at sleep.
The game is a snooze fest.

I'm actually all for the hook markers. I think that was a good change. Some of the Survivor perk changes weren't bad either.
BUT this is a really bad patch to put out after shelving anti-tunnel/slug. Dare I say, 2025 has not been a very good year for the game despite it being touted as the year of health.

I agree with Krasue but let’s not do the rounds of complaining about ruin like it’s been the last 4 years. Ruin was terrible with totem spawns and all the perks in the game to find totems I don’t have a problem with it.

I don't think Krasue has zero counterplay but the Infection should definitely cleanse when hooked.

I don’t think buffing ruin was the play I’ve played this game for 9 years and ruin has been the meta go to perk for most of the games life span on killer
While I don’t hate ruin getting buffed it’s just kinda a slap in the face to survivors when it’s like yeah all your meta perks got nerfed to death in 6.1 then 6.70 but the other side will get their meta perk of 7 years buffed again

Did lithe, finesse, windows of opportunity and resilience get nerfed? I must have missed something.

Hook markers exclusively help killers that don't want to tunnel/kill a survivor yet. Someone interested in tunnelling only needs to remember hook states on 1 survivor, something players already do, very easily. Someone who is trying to keep a survivor alive or don't want to tunnel has to track hook states for the entire team, and it gets exponentially harder to track when survivors use the same character and skin. You're obviously frustrated by recent matches, but please reconsider your opinion on that change.

What counterplay she has?
I know about bodyblocking, but that's kinda useless when I don't play SWF. Is there really anything I can do about her myself?

So were you complaining when DS was buffed back? Also Botany was buffed into better version than 6.1, it used to be 33%.
You act like no killer perk went under guilotine in patch 6.1 and only killer perks were buffed back…

dead hard DS self care spine chill soul guard the actual meta perks lithe windows has only been meta as of recent

No because DS shouldn’t of ever been nerfed I didn’t want ruin nerfed in the first place either I just think that a side getting such a popular meta perk buffed again just kinda isn’t really justified make a new good perk

BHVR needs some fresh blood replacement to their game design team. Risky move but at this point it is safe to say that this is a risk worth taking. Current game designers have clearly lost the plot.

Plus, anti-tunnel and anti-camp didn't go live, and they STILL nerfed Tenacity and Off the Record… I really don't get why.

The fact that she's unable to break pallets without going through a lengthy transformation is key.
Her vault speed being nerfed from the PTB makes this even more effective.

You cant boost sales with a free killer. why should anyone buy a unlicensed killer with AC if they can buy them with shards? And dont tell me people cant farm enough shards before an original chapter comes out. So either they dont want to make this game worth it or theyre unable to make this game worth it. Dont really know whats worse.

Im usually one to stray from the "killer-sided" and "survivor-sided" argument because i think its dumb and a product of bias. But this time i will flat out agree that this update is a nightmare for survivor. I have not been genuienly angry at this game or the devs…like ever…until this update and the failure of what was promised.
