Please don't nerf hag

Hey people can we leave killers alone for the rest of december and some into january because we cant even have one month without discussing unneeded nerfs.

There's actually a recent discussion about it, that's why the OP made this thread!

I'm a main survivor and to be honest, this game is starting to become a single player mode were easy mode is almost always active!

There was one thread about this. ONE. 1.

Hag isn't popular and many people who play her are bad anyway. If she was more popular then she'd have highest kill rate in the game.

It was just one discussion, based on a frustrating game most likely....just why.

IMO, it's always been about adaptation with all killers.

Billy running around the map with insta saw add-on's? Hug them jungle gyms and loop corners to force them to M1.

Trapper Trapping your favorite loops/god loops/pallets? Disarm them after he places them down, or pay attention to the disarm prompts, avoid grass areas and the heaviest traffic areas/loops he's likely trapped.

Plague destroying you and your team whenever someone cleanses at a fountain? Stop cleansing at fountains and focus on objectives whether you are broken by the sickness or not.

Hag is a killer that has some definite advantages, but again isn't so bad that she can't be adapted to. The rework to Urban Evasion back in the day for example, practically killed the old gal because of how popular the perk became, and now while it's not nearly as meta as it was back then, it's still a solid 1 perk counter to her and a decent perk advantage against most killers. I'm not saying everyone should equip it, just that because of the change to it, its sudden rise in popularity in the aftermath of the change led to a dramatic drop in Hag players. That's not so much the case anymore, but since she's hard to learn to use correctly, Hag is one killer that has become harder to adapt to only because she's also one of the least played killers.

Her recent stats proved that she has a high success rate, but also one of the lowest pick rates... Why is this true? Why would a killer with such a High success rate be one of the least played killers? Simple... She's difficult to play correctly, and has many counters, so most killer players give up after their first few tries, and inversely due to the low play rate, not enough survivors have learned how to adapt to her playstyle and fall easily to the killers who actually have learned to use her. This Makes playing solo against her feel oppressive and unfair, because while she is most powerful against the inexperienced, she's easily thwarted and abused by the experienced and prepared. If more Killer players used Hag, and took the time to get good with her, it really wouldn't take very long for the survivor community to pick up how to counter her and start winning regularly.

Her long setup time, her slow movement speed, her crazy bad loop-ability, and her weakness to flashlights, crouching, and certain perks make her a killer with many counters, but because she isn't played as much, people are often caught off guard by her and make posts like this one because they or their team didn't adapt.

This becomes especially true When you come up against a killer Player who has taken the time and effort to get good with using her, and all the more relevant because of survivors inexperience against her or refusal to adapt when in reality, she's really isn't as OP as (@DudeDelicious 's discussion) previously stated. Honestly, Hag only feels overpowered right now simply because she's one of the least played killers. Due to this, not enough of the survivor community has adapted to her like they have against Killers like Billy, Spirit, Ghost Face, Trapper, or Freddy, and so I'm predicting this now:

When the Tome that focuses on Hag and Ace comes out, we'll see a huge influx of posts demanding Hag nerfs at first... swiftly followed by an equally as large amount asking for buffs to her because of how quickly everyone adapts.

In the meantime, if you come across a Hag: Learn from it, Adapt as best you can, Lead by example, and soon enough you'll discover that she really isn't as big of a threat as the more viable killers out there. Playing solo, this will be difficult to accomplish due to her rarity and the majority of survivors inexperience with her; in SWF this will be easy as pie to accomplish because of better communication and coordination.

Overall, its ironically her Rarity that makes her strong, but that doesn't mean she's "over-performing" and needs to be nerfed, it just means that survivors haven't had enough experience to adapt to her.

I'm sure you're correct bud.

I don't see how that was a burn but if you're amused by my suffering let me tell you you have plenty reason to be amused.

Wait all these don't nerf Hag posts are because one person made one thread?

I posted this is the thread "if they nerf the hag I'm leaving"

Which is the sequel in this never-ending hag over-reaction, but I'll post it here to now:

The entire history of this over-reaction:

One person said they hate playing against the hag solo.

Another person said they better not nerf the hag because of the above person saying they hated playing the hag solo.

This thread gets made due to the above thread. Unless someone can show otherwise they Devs never once mentioned nerfing the hag. The most they ever said about the hag is that she is one of the most rarest killers to fight against. This is not the sound of an upcoming nerf.

nurse got nerfed for a reason cof cof omega blink cof cof except her basekit i dont know why they change it
