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.

Please don't nerf Vecna (2)

The absolute worst thing BHVR can do right now is nerf this killer on release. Or did everyone already forget about the Krause?

If you are sick of seeing Blight and Ghoul in every single game as survivor. Then stop demanding the devs nerf new killers.

Nobody even knows the counterplay right now since the killer is so unique. And again, once people learnt bodyblocks absolutely destroy Krause she suddenly lost a ton of her strength. It's almost like new kits need some time to settle...

    I'm sorry, but I hate this logic. If I play a new killer and think they're overtuned, I will communicate as such.

    Do I think Krasue was overtuned on release even with body blocking? Yes. Do I think Ghoul is still overtuned? Yes. Do I think new Vecna needs a small numbers nerf from the PTB to his cooldown? Yes.

    These are not related opinions. I, someone who plays about 60-70% killer didn't just wake up and decide every new roster addition BHVR makes is overpowered.

    These are simply the thoughts I have after testing new content as we are supposed to on the PTB, and I will continue to ask for nerfs regardless of other people's complaints.

    Maybe if they make him less Spammy then I'd agree

    Increasing the cooldown would only lead to only taking safe shots making him MORE boring.

    And lets not forget the projectile is small and you have to get 4 hits before you can hook someone

    The Aoe is fine not small nor to big there needs to be a fair punishment for missing your shots cause you can just dish it out with no worry it's not skillful at all

    If they want to nerf him, rather than increasing his cooldown they should instead make clocks more powerful, taking him out of Worldbreaker faster, removing Worldbreaker tokens from survivors up to a point. Instead of being able to attack less often he would need to land more hits to win.

    The three notable problems I noticed from people playing him were this:

    Worldbreaker is active 50% of the trial at least. Since you need only 2 hits to activate it.

    The vines are very, very spammable.

    Some of his most impactful addons are common.

    Problems 1 and 2 can both be resolved by just solving one of them.

    I think they will increasse the cooldowns so he cant spawn like crazy, probably easiest solution to this.

    The problem is doing clocks feels kinda pointless since Vecna gets Worldbreaker very fast and easy and guaranteed 15 seconds of uncleanseable time.

    A Survivor can do a clock and shorten the time Vecna has world breaker from 60 seconds down to 15 seconds and even when you wait out the last bit of time for world breaker to run out 10 seconds later world breaker starts again.
