Just me, or Merciless Killer Almost Impossible Now?

Hey all, so recently I have been trying to get the "Adept Plague" achievement. Before I managed to get every killer's adept achievement by just killing all four survivors. However, it seems after the new rank implement (or pip, i think the community calls it) that's not enough anymore and i keep getting "Ruthless killer" status. I've heard that now i have to "double pip" to get merciless. I have played ten games back to back, applying as much pressure as I possibly can, and even brought in an Ebony Mori in attempt to shut down any chance a tough to catch person could escape again. Doesn't this seem like too much? I think the old way was still challenging while still managing to be obtainable without being a god tier killer player. People seem to like the new pip mechanics, so maybe just make what you need to do to get the trophy less demanding. Am I the only one with this concern?

    First, don't use mori as the game is setup to cap your devout score if you do. Survivors are worth more to you alive than dead.

    To get Merciless Killer you will need these things to happen:

    4 sacrifices

    9+ hooks to max out devout emblem

    All gens defended for at least the first 9mins of the game as during that time the score is weighted heavier. Doing this maxes your Gatekeeper emblems

    You need at least 15-20 hits to get the best Malicious emblem score

    You will also need to have lots of short chases that end in hits.

    Getting Merciless and double pipping go hand in hand. You won't get one without the other.

    Doesn't that seem like a lot though? I mean double pipping is something that you have to work for and earn, and that is completely understandable, however I feel that it shouldn't have to be that intense to get an achievement that up until now has been fairy difficult to obtain. I agree that double pipping and the title merciless killer should be as difficult, but for the achievement it kinda rubs me the wrong way.
