Is spirit balanced?

Hi. I am a spirit main. I've seen some arguing in here and wanted to see peoples opinions. Some people are saying she is op, and some say she has fair counterplay. Which I personally believe. Having that said, what do you think?

    I don't have the numbers, so how shall I know?

    Most games I experience vs Spirits are 4kills ... so? I guess pls nerf him to death, until no one wants to play her anymore. How did the devs even dare to bring up a new A-Tier killer ... everyone loves to always face billy and nurse on red rank.

    I really don't know, spirit is anyway difficult to play and also difficult to play against. So I don't know what's the problem of the players who just dc against spirit.

    All I know is that I will use up all my anal beads, before they nerf 'em. =)

    All I want is for survivors to have the exact same information she has.

    Footsteps, breathing, grass moving, phase noise being directional (except maybe inside her Terror Radius). All of this.

    Would make her easier to counter and learn.

    Here's an advice: If you want to make a poll, make it as objective as possible. Especially in the poll options.

    I wouldn't say the exact same information. It could make her too weak.

    I guess that is true.

    But survivors does need something to tell them where she is, at least the general area of where she is.

    At the very least, they should hear her glass breaking sound effect. Like how we can hear Nurse's blinks.

    I think she is perfectly fine even with prayer beads and a certain segment of the community kinda need to get some billy big balls

    So basicly you want her to be like legion with no power at all? I mean literally every other 115% killer gives you that. Yes make all killers that. Such skilled survivors people are.

    Of course I don't want that. I love going against her. I don't want her to be completely gutted or nerfed. But I also want her to give some indication to the survivors whether or not she is using her power or whether or not she is nearby.

    Ok. This is fair, about being objective. I was angry at seeing so many anti-spirit posts, sit thats why nErF SpIRiT is an option

    first and last post/comment i write about spirit, because talking with brainless people is useless.

    totally broken since when she was released, its a nurse for noobs, you can literally drive her blink (phasewalk) to make sure you dont miss. and you wont. you can know where the surv is by A LOT of things, and you're a lot faster. of course there's not counterplay, little tweaks are useless. an OP thing wont be fine with "little tweaks". its ridicolous that they buffed her too after the release because so much people were crying "they can hear where i am1!!1!". really, when a nurse is a powerful bow you can aim with, and if you're good you get your prey, spirit is a ######### radio-controlled missile. think about it, let's say you can see spirit while phasewalking and she can see you (anyway now she hear you while healthy too so it doesnt change too much), you think she'd be fine? no, giving a killer bloodlust 20 for 10 seconds is not balanced. so you get that even if devs make me know where the spirit is while phasewalking, it wouldnt fix the problem.

    devs said she's overperfoming (= too strong = unbalanced - had to say this since i did read something like "overperfoming? so now a killer be good at killing is an issues?" spirit mains btw) and there's a reason. when i play with my friends, all of them with at least 3k hours at the game, experienced survs, we often get killed all by some 400 hours spirit mains playing like scums. me, a surv main with really low experience as killer, i can easily take spirit at rank 1 and getting a 4k while drinking a ######### coffee. and said this, 99% of people saying spirit is fine are noob and frustrated people that would get kicked back to rank 20 without their spirit, and they're just afraid of losing their boostingmachine. it's rare to happen but when a spirit destroy me and then i met the same guy again with another killer (let's say billy), trust me, he's lucky if he doesnt dc.

    Definitely take out those Prayer Beads, it's legitimately unfair for a Spirit to be able to teleport across them map with no warning, bump into you, and yank you off of a gen. You also can't tell whether or not she's vaulting, which is completely unfair. All the survivors she is he teleporting to the other side of the opening. Don't allow her to bump into you. Let survivors hear when she's Phase Walking at all times (maybe even have it be directional from outside the terror radius). Survivors get no feedback, so she doesn't have much counter play.

    Where is the option to buff spirit? Sometimes she only 3ks instead of 4k
