Maybe if he sucks enough I'll be able to play him without survivors quiting the match.

He is a normal speed killer now but they effectively neutered knives, so hitting with m1 is more important than it was before. Its really a shame.

Trickster is bugged and doesn’t get fire rate increases from his ability. Likely because the nerf to his default fire rate was done across the board or some spaghetti code thing

I gotta say, new Trickster feels kinda terrible. Not super surprising when they... 1. Increased his throw rate 2. To compensate for this, increased the amount of hits required for wounds to 8 3. Increased the laceration fall off speed considerably 4. To compensate, took off the throw speed ramp up 4. Lowered the throw rate to what it was before. Didn't undo 2, 3 or 4. So this rework is actually a pretty big nerf. New main event also feels kinda bad, because it still has the same problem as the old one (you only have it available for a very short amount of time), but now the power lasts a lot less than before.

Yeah I mean even in the PTB he felt like a Halo 1 assault rifle when throwing knives, better be ready to hold steady on an enemy and empty the whole drat clip if you're going to take them down. If there's *any* terrain around then you have half your work undone by the time you can line up your sights again. It's the curse of most ranged killers, they have to be balanced around someone being a CS master preshooting around corners and nailing every knife they throw out while most of the playerbase can't actually do that.

Like if I was gonna go on a conspiracy bent, next to Leatherface, Johnny was often considered the next rung on the 'Killer' side for family, so I'd almost wonder if they stomped him out just to incentivize picking LF more instead.

The TCM sub has some of the most entitled survivor mains I've ever seen in asym history. And then they wonder why it takes them 10+ minutes to find a game. TCM is dead. It's corpse will continue to rattle on for a bit longer.

I think I like Skull Merchant.  Got the Adept easily, power flows pretty smoothly. Then again I am a die-hard M1 fundamentals melon head so layering a bunch of free info and M1 chase enhancements is gravy for me. Probably falls apart against stronger survivors.Still, muh refined contrarian tastes.

New Smerchant is like. I want to like her for those reasons but there are games where it just feels very "get to filler tile, place drone, wait for free hit" that turn me off of her still. She's definitely more interesting than before, but she's not clicking for me still.

I saw some people going absolutely apeshit over the "1m without victim powers" thing too and like, let's be real that was aimed at Connie primarily, because more and more people were getting video evidence of her just bolting out of gas station games for free almost before anyone had a chance of responding. It just kinda blows me away because like, I play family way more than victim, but in what victim matches I do have, I've watched more than a few Johnnys eventually ragequit because I just kept slipping back and forth through a gap and nobody came to help him, the dude was mostly helpless if he didn't get backup or catch you out of place. Also they didn't even think to boost the priority of the new map, so a ton of lobbies are stuck in purgatory because people are hopping only looking for the new map.

TCM leatherface has a new issue where overheading will drain all his rev meter and doing anything will stall the chainsaw. But if you just wait a second (you can watch his animations), you can continue revving and attack. Its definitely new because I could overhead, rev to keep from stalling, and immediately start swinging. I guess its balanced because connie and sonny were easy to kill with the old way. Half of my matches, bubba is already picked. So tales of his demise are exaggerated. He's not required imo but he's the fastest and strongest family member. I don't know why people wouldn't play him. I wish people would complain about Johnny's power sucking instead of a glitch being fixed. I haven't spent a minute playing him so whatever. Black Nancy is pretty strong. Her power is interesting, a teammate was telling me everything victims were doing. Cook can locate people but can't see who's around or what they are doing like that. Her barbed wire is pretty cool too. No way I'm spending $10-$20 on DLC for a $40 game. The new map is creative. I'm pretty impressed they can rework the same theme in different ways. Gives me confidence they can last. But TCM needs a battlepass system because I don't have a lot of incentive to play outside of a few matches.

I'm gonna say it. Chucky is too strong. That sprint attack can curve way too much. There are a TON of scenarios that you simply cannot do anything about it. And its not like the rest of his kit is bad either...

I dunno, Chucky’s a real feast or famine Killer for me. If survivors know how to dodge his dash and are moderately competent, I’ve been ending up with 1K. If they’re less experienced and don’t dodge him very well, it’s an easy 3-4K.

It can curve more than any other dash in the game by a huge margin. It can basically 90 degree Oni tech while also being way way more forgiving during the dash as well. Its not even that there are 50/50's, there are a ton of no wins for survivors in chase.

Yeah, I got my adept by "curving" immediately out of a window vault (holding Q or E lets you turn about 30 degrees in that direction) into a Nancy who thought she was super smart for running left into the rows of desks after vaulting the midwich classroom window (the one that spawns the breakable door every time). Something that straight up is not possible on console. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXi_yUxQamc The camera jerking to the left and then slowing down shortly after is not me letting go of Q, it's the turn speed returning to normal.

OK I think this is a good time to ask: curving. Is it just binding turn left/turn right to Q and E, and then holding down one of them while also moving the mouse in that direction? I've been mostly playing on console these past few years due to cat reasons, but I'm back on PC now. Have a cat stalking a bird (who is outside my fourth floor flat's window)

It's going to be a tragedy when the devs inevitably nerf it due to the cacophonous wailing about survivors having to actually "hide" or "use alternate paths".

Chucky seems extremely strong right now but we'll have to see how he settles once skilled survivors learn how to avoid his run. It's similar to Oni's in that you have a little wiggle room but not much, and hugging is tough to do for most players.

He is stronger than blight imo (in chase). Though his mobility leaves some to be desired but he can use charge for mobility since the cooldown is so drat low.

Chucky's Two Can Play is a funny perk when you think about it because it is only really effective when someone blinds you with a flashlight or flashbang during a chase, which would allow you to negate the blind by also disorienting them too. But 99% of the time when you're blinded it's because someone is doing it for points or kicks while you're locked into an animation anyways. It's just such a weird perk because Lightborn is better than it in basically every way. Imo they need to either greatly increase the blind on survivors or, even better, blind the survivors while negating the blind on killer.

They are blinded, but you have to go through the whole animation for the stun. It might close the gap if they run directly at you in a panic but other than that they just press the direction they should have already planned on running in. You can also get perks to break pallets instead of a stun that combo with it but that's a lot of dedication.

On the other hand it works just fine with Spirit Fury, so you can use that and plow right through a pallet to hit someone in the face

But Blight is always going to be king poo poo of chases if the player knows how to use him.
