Is artist really that oppressive to play against?

[プリンツ・オイゲン]

Apparently she is a rare encounter and I main her.

However, I don't try hard only mainly doing the tomes. Literally playing mr nice guy hooking only each people twice and letting them run.

Sometimes when they get curbstomped by my half baked play they give up like alot.
- Hide in lockers or just don't want to play.

Is it the artist? Is it my build? or is it just survivors like this.
- The build: Jolt, Lethal, Dead Lock, Bitter Murrmurr

sounds like a skill issue tbh.

no, artist is not that difficult to go against. elevation entirely negates the path of the crows, and as long as you avoid unsafe loops that garuntee crow shots, you'll have an easy time. dodge crows when the come to your generator and loop her around complex structures and you'll probably win.

Not letting everyone escape the trial is evidence you're using a broken OP build

If they're letting everybody go, they're never raising their MMR. So it's not the the build is broken, but they're playing against incredibly new survivors

Your bias is showing, just a little bit.

[Dakota]

she is one of those killers that only gives one option to survivors which is hold W and leave the loop

the main way people play her is just setting down birds at the pallet or window of every loop which ends up making every encounter with her the exact same of just run around the loop while she places the birds and then run towards another loop and repeat until your downed

idk if she is oppressive but she is very anti loop and makes the game boring since you can't really even dodge hits or fake vaults like other ranged killers

[Astral]

She's anti-loop so her power needs to be used in a way that cuts off exits which makes the only option to switch loops just like Dakota said.
In unsafe loops you can easily get a hit on survivors by deploying the crow on one side of the loop and go the other side.
It's even more obvious in the computer loop in Shelter woods in the same game I downed 2 different survivors by just deploying the crow on one side of the loop and cutting off on the other side No mind game required cause I will get a dire crow hit or a basic hit for sure.

[Grandpa Crack Pipe]

People don't like playing against Artist because anti-option, not oppressive. Like Knight.
Once you put a bird down, there's one correct thing to do at that point, which is to leave. And an artist using her power correctly at loops is going to force this every single time until there's nowhere to run, because of course you're going to make the loop a deathtrap, that's the correct thing to do.
Unless you do some wacky psycho things with your birds, of course.

[Echorion]

Generally it's just newer players.

I started playing Artist and noticed this as well, you hit a survivor with birds and even though they are DOING NOTHING mind you beyond giving their aura when you're already looking at them anyways, they still just give up because the birds on them makes them think they are somehow screwed.

nah survivors typically look for easy victories on the other hand I myself have never had much issues going up against any but a few killers (Wesker, Plague, The Pig and Mr. Harpoon gun lol) but I guess people don't appreciate a challenging killer. it is 4 against 1 right?

not at all honestly I just take each moment as it goes and try to have fun playing. (this is coming from a killer main btw ;D) the only issues I can see are new players not having practice in private matches with friends tbh, which is a great way to get familiar with all the perks on both the killer's side and survivor's side as well as any add ons or Items.

if you duck during the audio queue before the crows manifest you are able to avoid them as well

[Mors_Indecepta]

She can be. Fortunately, you don't see Artists very often, let alone super-skilled ones.

[Eevee Boy Ben]

Honestly, one crow Artist is strong. SUPREMELY strong. I've underestimated it. If you can land your shots or prime proper bait, you're in good standing.

I've played 5 matches with her recently for tomes and challenges with common and uncommon add-ons and consistently 3-4k every match.

What kind of backwards thinking is this? Not letting them win means you are using an OP build? We have to LET people win or the game to be somewhat fair now?
