So when are we getting some killer BUFFS?

Now now, @Widowmaker8197 is entitled to believe what he wants.
It's just unfortunate most of what he believes is wrong.

I'm not saying he can't believe what he wants, all I did was point out his wrongs and how some killers he say that aren't weak are actually weak.

I am agreeing.
Additionally, I don't think Nurse is a mid-tier Killer. I think she is still high-tier because she still has the highest chase potential. I don't think she is as good as Spirit, but I think she is the second or third best. Just not enough map pressure to be #1

A slight speed boost while loosing the ability to gain stacks on certain perks whilst using their ability? Plus a buff to mending rendering their ability even further useless?
Youre straight up wrong dude.

it shouldnt count as a kill for stats, thatswhy devs said they dont make their decisions on just stats because there are other variables such as hoom suicide that contribute to the "above 50%kill rate" or survivors throwing the game and not helping their teammates.

Nurse is not weak lol

Sorry, I'm not buying it man. No chance you pip with 3 escapes. Best case scenario with legion and 3 escapes is a black pip.

I mean stats show that killers generally get more than 50% kill rate, so I don’t know if buffs are necessarily needed. However, those stats aren’t an exact representation of how it really is in game. For example, Pig, Clown, and Doctor are in desperate need for changes, even though they get more than 50% kill rates.
Overall, I feel like the only killer buff that I think would matter is increasing gem times.

The reason people find killers like Wraith or Leatherface weak is because their power doesn't help in chases or at least at loops. I do think Wraith doesn't need any real buffs if we will be getting more map reworks. If maps have more mindgameable pallet loops and less safe ones, I think this would make Wraith fairly good.
But Leatherface, he's really not very strong right now. Sure an insta down can always be good, but it's useless at loops and he also has no map pressure.

This is one of the smarter comments on this forum.
The whole 'buff killer, nerf survivor' statements that get thrown around here really offer nothing at all at this point. If more people had this insight and made comments around these talking points the game would be in a much better state.

The speed is incredible. If you think not, its because you never played him

Nobody is saying stats alone should be the barometer, but you also removed pipping from the equation (which you are off about 3 escapes and pipping). In reality, the number of red rank killers in ratio to red rank survivors is another factor.
Ranking and the killers used give us an information stream on which killers should be looked at for tweaking. If Clown is rarely used at red ranks, and suffers high escape rates when used, then maybe he needs tweaking to make him more viable. If he over performs in lower ranks then suddenly drops off from rank 6 to 5, then it is likely a player issue (Clown does not over perform anywhere though.)
I'm all for tweaking killers, I main Trapper for crap sake. I'm not for blanket buffs. I am not on the "killers are too weak" band wagon. Some killers are almost too strong, and some are sad.....like clown. Sad Clown.

Nurse is not mid tier lol

Better be a buff tbh

Buff Bubba !

I smell a survivor main! 😉

Leatherface has a chainsaw and can insta-down so that disqualifies him from being weak?... Lmao. Have you played as LF much? You gotta practically ride the survs ass just to get a chainsaw hit. And let's not forget his AWESOME skills at loops... 🤦♂️

There's nothing really that you can do about it honestly
The reality is that you can buff and debuff killers and survivors all you want but it really just comes down to the player themselves once you nullify the factors that just make the gameplay not based off of skill in any sense, like god loops, infinites, etc. it takes no skill or mindgame to make nearly flawless use of things like this, just like very old BnP and double window at the shack. They've already taken these things out, however there are still some instances where there's practically nothing you can do. Once all of those unfair advantages are taken away from the game on both sides, which will potentially never happen for the time being as they're still putting out new content, then it really just comes down to how efficiently the killer and survivors are playing as a whole compared to each other. Rank in this game doesn't matter and you should never go into and out of a game saying "Oh these guys were all rank 1's and I slaughtered them as a rank 10 killer" or something of that nature. It just comes down to personal skill

What needs to happen is the weaker killers need to be buffed so their on the same level as top tier. I. E. Map pressure, better or re-worked add-ons, tweaked abilities. A person maining LF should be able to have the same results as some maining Billy, spirit, nurse, etc. Or someone who mains clown. You shouldn't be limited to the same small handful of killers. You should be able to be competitive with any killer you choose.

Some survivors have maybe in their head how they got crushed by every killer in the low ranks, but for the most killers, that changes sooner or later and they getting crushed in their most matches in the higher ranks and they are usually more important, because there spending the most people their time.
Either because they play dbd, or they wait in the lobbys of dbd because nobodys wants to play killer there.
Serious guys, some people should a bit level up before they start to judge killers.
0 -
Agreed, A lot of people judge the game based on what they have faced and dealt with so far, that's why you could ask 2 different people about one killer, and one could say they are op and the other could say they are an easy escape, people judge on experience mostly

Yet she is add on dependent, no other high tier killer needs add ons in order play at red ranks.
Again she lost most of her map pressure, making it very difficult to apply pressure to gens. Surviors can out run a basekit Nurse after 2 blinks in a straight line.
Nurse is a midtier killer because she lost her map pressure, and she lost some of her mobility, and now requires add ons to be playable at red ranks.
Also why are there way less Nurses than usually, it's mainly because that these nerfs made her very unfun to play and made her add on dependent.

Asking for too much.
Survivors will get all the killer nerf request and if you are lucky, a tiny buff will happen.

Its clear that you have not played to see just how weak leatherface is, just saying "you can get an insta down with him" is an absolute joke. You need to be in a massive dead zone or in basement in order for him to get a chainsaw. Its so slow to charge and move with that if you cant get to a window in time its on you for playing bad.

Lmao. This guy.

Not the impression I'm getting.

Knowing all the memes about the devs, i can't imagine it being the opposite.

Damn though, Wraith's best attack isn't fixed yet.
Guess no Wraith-plays for me yet, playing him without that feels terrible now that i'm used to having a super-lunge. 😥

Oh I could. Nerfing killers is the old new rage.
