So we're getting an unviable killer, mediocre perks and op survivor perks

Nice troll post. Either that or you just have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Which is it?

Lol

The Demo would know when survivors are near his portal and if the survivors are breaking it they would have the oblivious status effect if I’m not mistaken. Basically, they wouldn’t know whether or not the Demo is coming when breaking the portal.

His "chasing" ability looks like Billy's chainsaw at short distance, but doesn't oneshot. Easier to use, though. Countered with old good looping and break of sight.

Their current design philosophy is completely random.

110 was largely reserved for killers who actively gain an edge in chases. Billy has insane mobility but doesn't have 115.

Freddy came reworked with BOTH high map mobility AND chase potential, but still moves at 115.

Considering the long, slow animations for burrowing, and that it has to be at preset points, I don't see why he'd have to be slower for it.

I think it is still far too early to conclude anything. Let us wait.

The ability from this killer is trash mabye not the worst killer but obvious lowtier.

None of the survivor perks are that great

The killer is just a long range version of nurse with 115% speed

Wait till the PTB

I'd 100% support this action, but there is no block feature here :(

OP also promotes DC'ing as killer in another topic :-/

I'm all in favor of stronger killers, but what you have described here is not a normal, typical match. You're describing edge-case matches that happen mostly at high rank.

Wouldn't pulling someone out of a locker be the better choice even BEFORE this perk came out? Better to kill the DS than to let them walk WITH the DS.

You get slowed. Not sure by how much but you are moving slower than survivor speed right before the lunge.

I've seen people throw around 100% speed but I don't know the source

Either way it seems like something to hit survivors between tiles instead of inside loops. But it's impossible to know before we test it.

I think that guy takes viable to extreme level.I think viable should mean that you can win any skill-level of team skillfully disregarding imbalanced items/add-on, so that means if your red rank, you have chance to win against other really good survivors assuming equal skill level.

From looking at glimpse of gameplay footage from stream, I think portals seem like needless risk for survivors to destroy and most people won't bother with it because they'll have animations for when the killer is using them to run away to a loop. As for pounce attack, It seems like you slowdown like bubba chainsaw to have further lunge attack, but when i saw footage, every single time the pounce was used, a lunge attack would done just the same if not faster with better movement control, so I'm not really sure what the point of that pounce attack will be. The person who was playing killer didn't seem to know his lunge ranges and survivors weren't doing optimal routing so it's hard judge, but if you can ignore a killers power with minimal punishment, that's usually not good sigh for a killer.

As for the perks, they're all pretty meh for different reasons. Unless surge synergies with overcharge, pop goes weasel, surveillance or distressing, Surge will be a area of effect pop goes weasel with a much weaker effect, Regression for generators is really slow and you need 2 or more generators to be regressed for this perk to be worth it. on difficult maps like Red forest or farm maps, this perk is very unlikely to help you in slowing the game and it's a perk that can only really help you on easy maps like The game or Lery which are heavy killer bias maps where you'd probably win without it. Cruel Confinement is too situational perk because if survivors complete generators across the map, you won't get any value from blocked windows if your on other side of the map chasing someone and if you wanted the ability to block vaults, you'd just use Bamboozle. The only map where this perk might be useful is haddonfield, but no one uses situational perks in hopes that they get the correct map to use this perk. Mindbreak would be an amazing perk for stealth killers if the perk didn't have condition 50% progression. It's also unclear if this perk causes exhaustion fully or just for 3 seconds, but if it's only for 3 seconds, it's waste perk slot and it won't work half the time so i doubt anyone will really run this because it's too niche/inconsistent. In general survivor perks are way better than anything that the killer is getting.

The ptb isn't out yet, so this is all speculation but I hope i'm wrong about killer/perks bad at the end of the day.
