Skull Merchant Rework
Are there any plans on the future of the Skull Merchant, especially in terms of a rework? I think its really unfair towards the players that like her that shes being treated like garbage both by the community and sadly the devs too

I think the buffs recently put her in a better spot so I don't think they should waste the resources on a rework, maybe another small buff would put her in the best spot she's been in but they kind of have to be careful with how much they give her before she becomes the hated killer again

They expressed plans for a rework a while ago, but they have yet to actually act on them. The recent buff is the most we've seen in terms of it, but it's not what they showed us: .

And then they said that if the buffs were well received and stopped her from being in a poor state that they would not be pursuing the rework to focus on other issues in the game. The buffs helped as they hoped so for now I cannot see them reworking her

Ahhh, I didn't see that. That makes a lot of sense. I do think the buffs were pretty well received, honestly. They were demonstrated by both Otz and Hens I think. I can't remember if I saw anyone else demonstrate them, though. I think the buffs are pretty good though. The added hindrance on survivors makes her chase potential a lot better, which I think is the main issue a lot of people had with it.

I mean she is still garbage and pretty much F tier in every ranking, just not unplayable anymore, and thats only because they removed the vault immunity to the scanlines. Pixel Bush made a great video on it, I would recommend it.

She's boring to play with and against, enough reasons for a rework. But I don't think they're touching her anywhere near future, since she's clearly have a pretty boring gameplay structure to be creative on and is constantly giving bhvr headaches towards players negative impressions.
So no, no latina girl rework for now 😭

I've lost a massive amount of respect for Pixel with his constant talk of turning her into ANOTHER projectile slop killer that we don't need with the stupid "drone buddy" idea that a bunch of morons think is a good idea. If it isn't dash slop, it's projectile slop, and I'm sick of both of these styles.

Then she needs more buffs if its not for a rework. How about double scanlines or stealth drones? Thats what she was usually thought for, a setup/trap killer. With one beam only and no stealth mode, drones are way too easy to avoid imo

I am fine with the rework. She is not that fun to play as or against so they should make adjustments.

The devs need to grow some spines and revert her back to how she was before her massive nerfs and make small adjustments from there. What they did was such a complete overreaction.
Baring that, they should double down on the stealth aspects of her kit. Lean more into the techno-hunter aesthetic she has going on.

Decoupled the Undetectable status effect from Deploying a Drone.
Gain Undetectable when Recalling a Drone instead.For now, could you please revert this update? I don’t even understand what it’s supposed to mean—it only makes the QoL worse.

But then its not the survivors that are the problem, more like the devs listening to them :) according to survivors, every killer needs a nerf

She was quite rare to see before the recent change. Havent seen her since. I also have her at p100, only played her once and went "hope shes still getting the rework."

To be fair I havent heard from a single SM player who thought that the recent changes were enough to save her from F tier.
