Ranged killers just feel really unfair to play against.

[Jane Doe]

My question is, what is their drawback? I.E they are already faster than you by a default setting, they can down you from a distance, (Pyrmaid head m2, nemesis m2, huntress hatchets, tricksters m2 et cetera) so you're supposed to loop against them but you can't drop pallets which is a survivors ONLY line of defense (gee i wonder why survivors take so many second chance perks when 90% of the roster ignores the key fundamentals that survivors are told to use). but even if you dodge them, eventually they will just m1 you, and down you. Am I missing something because there is supposed to be a drawback for being able to be oppressive from a range... the only ranged killer that doesnt feel oppressive is deathslinger because for some reason bhvr decided to nerf him before huntress despite huntress having literal dwight modeled hitboxes when deathslingers was very tiny and really only was b.s from desync.

Some are slower (Huntress), some have tells to their ranged attack (Pyramidhead), some have to reload (Trickster) and some have to hit one more hit state than usual (Nemesis).

The upside is ranged attacks, the downside are some are easy to bait/tell, or if you're good enough at looping, always breaking LOS, then you last longer and win the game more often.

Pyramid you can hear the tell and him doing it is pretty obvious and unless the loop is short enough that he can see you on the otherside he is taking a decent guess that his shot will hit and he is also slower while dragging the sword so he can't just hold it down and force a reaction out of you like he could before

Huntress takes skill and suffers greatly if she misses, a huntress who misses the majority of her hatchets is a huntress who loses the game

Nemesis and Artists just hold W lol, if Nem hits you that is an extra third hit he has to land if he trying to whip you to death and any chest high cover you can just crouch behind and he misses and artist you just run away when you see her set up a bird at the loop.

Trickster is just map reliant, if the map has alot of ways to break LOS he suffers but if it doesn't then he does better

Play those killers and you will see that they are not as all-powerful as you think they are. When you come across someone good, they will use those powers well, especially if they can predict you.

In general, killers with ranged slow down while using range, and you should be early-dropping pallets on them out of LOS to try and create a stronger loop and force the break, not going for the stun.

Beyond that, look behind you, juke, and use cover. If you drop a pallet on a Nemesis or Huntress going for the stun or when they've got clear LOS on you, you get what you deserve. So don't deserve it.

Hold W, juke, and weave behind cover. All killers will catch you in time, unless you have an actual God Window spawn and don't mess it up or get mindgamed, and if you can force them into an M1 chase, you can buy as much time as possible.

Survivors aren’t supposed to be untouchable - everyone gets caught eventually. Just mind game it out, man.

pyramid head slows down and has a big audio que, you can hear him slamming his sword in the ground and even hear his attack building up (break los against him)

nemesis on open field is quite easy to dodge, on pallets and windows its not possible on lvl 1 , on lvl 2 he can destroy pallets by dodging slightly to the right his tentacle will aim at the pallet and miss you , he has to hit you 3 times with his tentacle and you get a speed boost 2 times so run away from him. he also is very slow while holding his tentacle when in doubt bring a stone between you and him and then run away from the loop


huntress is very loud and tons of people can dodge from that alone (i cant xD)


trickster is slow and gets even slower for every knive he uses avoid loops with hipp high objects bec he can throw over that and maybe dont use corn maps offering most killer suck on corn maps but trickster loves these

Play them and see how well you do, they're some of the most entertaining to watch because of their relatively high skill cap in my opinion.

Yes ranged killers change the game and the reason you are not prepared to handle them is because they are so different to go against. In no way they are they easier to play cause if you miss it is way worse then a m1 killer.

You’re complaining that you’re getting caught by killers in a game about trying to delay killers from catching you. The method in which they do so is irrelevant.

Not really, the ranged attack usually has a shorter cooldown than the M1 does. It's why you see so many Huntress pros who will still use their hatchets on you point blank instead of swiping at you. They recover faster and you gain a little less distance.

Going to disregard this post since you've made it quite clear in previous replies you would not like to have discussions, but just disagree with what other people have to say.

I feel like range killers have it the worse personally. so easy to dodge and they waste time with range so you'd be long gone or they give up chasing.

You replied just to say you're going to disregard.

This is... a way.

[Palumtra]

Hell no they are funny to play against when they can't hit the side of a mountain even with DBDs generous hitreg,

It’s kind of like when people say “I don’t care” but they’re shouting and angry about it, lol.
