Some ragequitter survivors told me: "Enjoy playing spirit while you can, I can't wait for the nerf". And I laughed SO HARD I mean in those games I didn't vaulted a single window and I didn't used the bodyblock mechanic to know where the survivors were... With the nerf I would've done literally the same in those 3 games!

When the nerf drops, survivors will continue complaining about spirit until the devs nerf her once again, I have no doubts about it.

EDIT: I played 1 more game and 2 survivors DCed and the other 2 committed suicide on first hook.

    Its why i doubt these are the real changes. I feel like devs are going to put in some more changes when they realize this doesnt do anything.

    But who knows? Maybe the survivors got their rush for nerfing another killer filled and are going to move onto nerfing another thing. The threads demanding for Spirit's nerf have definitely stopped.

    I wonder what would have happened to this game if people complained about underpowered killers instead of "overpowered" ones since day 1.

    I mean people disconnect when I used to play Huntress with no addons or offerings, people disconnect when they try to do a le epic Dead Hard when they could've taken a pallet, don't get swung on, and then get downed and disconnect. They disconnect when you play a good Hag. They disconnect for any reason whatsoever, yet here we are still doing our best to try to make this game as fair as possible so that survivors have the best of times. That's why we don't care if they disconnect or want to punish it, cuz everbody hash a bad game now n dens!

    Try playing Wraith for a challenge, getting BM'd and meme'd on the entire game, then when you finally get one person, they DC and have their friends send you hatemail :/.

    Point is, it goes both ways, vicious cycle my friend, vicious cycle.

    I think the most funny and sad survivor DC was when I was playing the Wraith with the ghost, and coxcombed clapper add on, on the map Game, where I grab a survivor off a Gen, he DCed real fast along with his 2 other SWF. Last survivor just made me follow him to a hook where he just wanted me to hook him.

    Afterwards the 3 people who DCed decided to harass me and call me trash for using "OP" addons on the "OP" wraith. I didn't even bother to argue as it would talking to a brick wall.

After I grab a survivor off a gen, he DCed instantly and his other 2 friends DCed as well. The last survivor just wanted me to hook him, and after the game was glorious.

    They stuck around to the end to complain that I was using "OP" addons on the "OP" wraith, and they start complaining about how I'm trash and such. I didn't bother answering back considering it was like trying to talk to a wall.

    This is part of the reason I refrain from playing Spirit or Freddy more often. It feels like a guarantee that someone will DC and that triggers me to no end as killer.

    I've seen survivors DC even when we are absolutely demolishing the Spirit

    The person that got downed was down after 3 gens. But someone still DCed just because they heard the phasing sound.

    survivors will cry about wraith. survivors cry about ANYTHING that kills them, to them the killer is

    A. supposed to be the bully victim you throw pallets on their head, blind them, point at them, etc

    B. supposed to escort you out the exit gates and give you a nice pet on the head

    People would rather Cry and DC rather than learn the counterplay to spirit and PLAY THE GAME WITH A BRAIN OTHER THAN LOOPING IN CIRCLES to counter most of the roster of killers

    If you are a good survivor, u can escape spirit. People who ######### about her are probably just toxic players who casually tea bag if they are about to win against lower tier killers, because they think they are so good at this game. I am a survivor main, i tried playing spirit but i am not skilled enough for her, and i really don t mind playing against this killer. Most of the nerf was unnecessary in my opinion, but i only had one problem. The first 1 min of the game always was terrible against the spirit for me (of course, if that beads add on was present), because i kept getting yoinked out of the gen, without knowing who i am facing and what to expect. It is just that she has an easy first hook with that add on so i wanted it nerfed in the beginning because it is kind of unfair. But now if they make the sound global when phasing at least i consider next moves just in case she approaches my gen. Also that vaulting thing was annyoing because without any info from her, it is pretty hard to counter anything she has prepared for you. But overall, I think she shouldn t be nerfed anymore, the spirit is ok where she will be after this nerf i guess.

    I usually dc when it is huntress because i have never met a huntress who doesn t face camp or tunnel hardcore, and it just ruins the fun for me, i know what to expect, i am not good at looping the killer for 5 gens so of course i will eventually go down and that is my end game obviously. It is annoying to deal with.

    I mean at lower ranks I definitely think Huntress has been the one killer I've seen camp me more than anyone, for sure. At higher ranks I don't really know, but due to her lack of mobility a lot of people just play her as a patrol, for sure. Depending on the mood I only ever DC against a killer with an Eboni or a Huntress with insta's. Why they're still in the game, I don't know.

    I play a lot of Hag and needless to say you either have a game where you absolutely destroy everyone, or you simply get rolled by really good survivors/SWF. I think she can be frustrating to play against, but even when I play in a way that's bad (traversing the map, spread out traps) people still just DC on me quite frequently. It's worth it when you see the dingdingding of multiple SWF quitting, though. A huntress who facecamps is a Huntress that is bad. Learn how a bad Huntress plays and don't get caught if you can :)

    I still consider her a killer without skill ... I think she shouldn't be able to listen to injured survivors while using her power.

    The main spirits did not release their hate messages because they know they did not touch their real problem.

    None of the Devs are killers, They're all survivors my guy LMAO

    Implying you can’t win against Spirit? Because I don’t really have a problem with her at Red Ranks.

  • PeenutsButt3r

    What can I say, either win or not, I'm fed up with having to play against spirit in many ways. Of all the killers most of my games are vs spirit.

    Mak other killers viable at rank 1 instead of nerfing good ones and you would see diversity. That is the problem. Try playing pig and 3 gens are done u till u catch a survivor. That's why you only see spirits. If you want diversity don't cry about spirit, cry about THE FACT THAT 70% OF THE KILLER ROSTER IS GARBAGE AT RANK 1

    I made it to purple ranks last week in survivor. I faced two Spirit players out of 30 games. Where o where are these legions of Spirit players?

    I'm returning the insta heal favour survivors did few months ago and my average game looks like this.

    I cant blame them tho, both amulet and beads are broken.

    I'm a Legion main, and people still DC against him despite being nerfed into the ground.


    It's because these killers that theyre calling to be nerfed have counterplay that isn't a form of dropping pallet and looping, or because they're just boring to play against.

    There still isn't a clear tell as to when she is phasing which is one of her core issues. Sure it is a good change to make her lose collision while phasing since that only gave you free hits if you happened to bump into a survivor.

    I assume that last time you endured it the whole game, and endured the post game chat after they bullied you

    But when you want to bully them back, they just escape through dc and said it's not fun. This is not healthy. If you hate it, at least finish the game and move on, not dc immediately.

    And i guess these matches are included in devs statistics, and they came out with a conclusion of "not fun" or "overperforming"

    yep exactly but whining on forums is more easy than actually trying to counter killers lol

  • LordGlint
    LordGlint Member Posts: 8,509

    So many of the players who hit rank 1 are boosted all to hell, lol. Simple things like knowing how to run a tile and red light manipulation can make Bubba dangerous even. Relying on killers who make these skills irrelavent doesnt make the other killers garbage, it means your over reliant on a crutch that negates the need to learn the tiles.

    Well... people will give you rage messages. I was playing as The Plague and I am not good with her but I sacrificed a Dwight that was trying to blind me with a flashlight while I used the vomit. After that the guy told me that I was using a broken killer and I was laughing because it was not my fault that he tried to blind me in an open field with no pallets and no structures around.

    tell that to killers that are whining about swf and making about 10 threads per day about how they cant stand ppl playing with friends (not wanting to play vs 4Head randoms)

    about DCs ofc survivors are overreacting AF but i see a lot of DCs from both sides when i play killer or surv and tbh if you count 1 DC in game (from surv) as 1/4 killers DC (because there is 4 times more survs so 4x more chances for DC) and add killers dodging my lobby its pretty even

    but maybe my stats arent as one sided as yours because im maining pig and wraith

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    but ofc survs still DC vs me (even tho im wraith/pig without any slowdown perk, without ruin and i dont use good add ons above yellow, and im not camping, not tunneling)

    They feel that they are now 'justified' in their DC's and will continue to do so until the rework hits.

    Whenever a survivor dcs on me I always ask them why? Point out that they wasted their time and got no bloodpoints. Most of the time i don't get an answer. Once I got that the time and BP weren't that big a deal.

    Still trying to understand the mentality.

  • tortrader
    tortrader Member Posts: 539

    That's why I think some people here are idiots when they write that "these changes aren't so bad, almost nothing". Because if the kill percentage doesn't go down and the survivor whining doesn't stop, then more nerfs will happen to the Spirit.

    I don’t understand the hype around everything. The nerfs are nerfs but it’s not gonna stop skilled players from doing well with her it’s that simple, so chances are she’ll remain top tier. It’s just like the Nurse rework but even less punishing to the skilled player lmao

    spirit mains:

    "ok i like this nerf its fine and fair" (when its obviously not enough because they didnt touched the main problem of this broken killer)

    also spirit mains:

    "lol after the nerf i would do the same result cause i didnt use the nerfed things to win ez"


    yes, we will ask for another nerf. and you just said we will be right.

    The problem is, I played like 10 matches earlier and 6 of them were vs spirits. Not good ones, mind you- Now everyone tries to get a play before the nerf but still. Im not feeling like sweating my ass off for 3 hours just because everyone wants to play spirit

  • Revansith

    I learned early on that killers dislike survivors breaking hooks (especially during the blight event) and using flashlights offensively. When I first started playing I would ask, after being tunneled and killed in what way I had upset the killer? Had I offended them to a degree they felt I should be finished and eliminated from the match as quickly as possible. Then I learned that some players are like that they will tunnel and camp survivors because they can.

    I think the best way to cope with this is not to get upset and simply complete the trial and move to the next one.
