Skull merchant is abandonware but for killers

Let's face the facts; she won't be getting changed any time soon if at all. Idk how we still accept the norm for kneecapping something to death then leave it in this state for who knows how long.

It actually disgusts me. There is not a single video game company I know who ever done this type of thing.

If you're reading this, why are you allowing this nonsense?

    Most of the content in the game is abandonware at this point. How many killers do they update per year? 2, maybe 3 at the most? So just do the math on how long it will take before they get around to updating any given killer. Chances are the game will not exist anymore at that point or you will have long since stopped playing.

    I know atleast one company that did something like that and it wasn't even a small company, it was one of the biggest names in gaming history.

    Blizzard.

    They sat down and nerfed the demonology spec for warlocks because it was the best and most fun speck out of the three and every warlock played it. But nerfing it a bit didn't had the desired effect because it was still more fun to play then the other two specs so demonology stayed the most played warlock spec even when they three spec where closer number wise.

    They continued to nerf it until it was very obviously the worst spec for warlock number wise and when players asked in a livestream why they treat the spec so bad the lead game designer answered:

    "Because we'd rather you didn't play demonology"

    And why did all this happen? Because the spec was supposed to get a rework. Not because it needed one because the players where happy with it but because Blizzard wanted to strip it of a bunch of stuff they wanted to give the new class in their next expansion.

    You know the phrase less is more? Well BHVR clearly didnt thats why there is so much bloat in the game, and not enough time to fix everything. Nothing's gonna get fixed because the anniversary is coming up, gotta put on the blue and yellow party hats for a month while the game is a dumpster fire right now.

    That QoL update blunder is what delayed her update. It's still coming, just suck in "Soon™" limbo.

    At the bottom of this page:

    We are currently evaluating a timeline for Skull Merchant’s rework but do envision it being quite far out as our primary focus is on driving quality-of-life updates. Once we have a timeline to share, we will be sure to keep you informed via future Design Preview updates.

    You know, there is definitely killers needing reworks or at the very least strong nerfs and Legion is gone fot a month or so now, but this community always speak about the state of the game as if it is in its doomsday and completely unopayable

    Yes I want to have this killer in the circle of killers I play. Got her to prestige 12 that is enough for me to be angry about the state she is in.
