I now understand why people hate the skull merchant

[Donut]

i've versed her before and most of the ones i verse are pretty bad yet i still knew nothing about her so i just stayed out of her drone range and usually won

So i picked her up as a killer this morning and was playing her throughout the day and boy is she feeling just a little bit busted ey, being able to make survivors to stop looping, run away from gens or actively avoid going for hooks to avoid drones is pretty interesting. and having so many of them..... and then there's the traps bruh wtf is that xD imagine being undectable and making the guy you chase broken and hindered like jeez

for sure feels op as hell and i have a 100% win rate today so if the killer itself isn't op then the stats certainly do

At the end of the day, she is still an M1 Killer that actually needs to get into M1 range to land a hit; if nobody is ever claw trapped, then she'll never get Haste to land that hit.

While looping her, she gets a speedbonus when other people are tracked by her drones. You can play well and suddenly the loops and pallets become really unsafe because your solo q teammate on the other side of the map doesn't understand her power and you have no control over this. It feels so bad to play against this killer.

Theres 2 builds I use mostly which is fun, add ons u can try for yourself which works best. 1 build is STBFL, Rapid Brutality, Brutal Strength and Surge, 2nd build is STBFL, Dissolution, Pain Res and Surge. 1st build is for speed and second is all round best for anti loop/slowdown.

I never even bothered to learn about Skull merchant's perks and abilities lol

"M1 killer" used to be a huge negative, but ever since maps started becoming more killer-sided it's becoming less of an issue in itself. An M1 killer with an ability that requires survivors to do more than gens can be very deadly, especially in solo queue. There really hasn't been a better time to be an M1 killer in general even though there are still a few maps that are outstandingly survivor-sided.

Being the queen of M1 killers isn't really such a bad title to be rocking in 2024. It was very bad 4-5 years ago, and I say that as a Pig main.

Killer mains on the steam forums act like if you're not playing Nurse or Blight then you're just signing up for losses, but while those killers are stronger in a competitive scene, regular DbD isn't competitive. With only three MMR brackets, the awkward decision to judge survivors individually, and a system that prioritizes fast matches over accurate matchmaking, you're not going to be consistently going against sweat squads.

Even when you are against a sweat squad, camping one of them usually results in a 4K, that's coming from personal experience and we see it from the stats.

I find M1 killers more comfortable to play even though I know anti-chase killers are very strong. I never got the thinking behind making yourself play a killer like Blight, not really enjoying your time but doing it anyways because it's what you're supposed to do, just to cucked by a Gideon offering lmao. I'd much rather have a consistent and comfortable experience and the difference just doesn't justify how boring it is to play something like Blight. Like wow, I won one or two more matches that I wouldn't have won otherwise, but I'm having a miserable time. So worth it...

Survivors completely refuse to learn how to play against her, so she's stronger than she should be.

So? The best killer in the game for 8 years now is a M1 killer.

Nah. Nurse has to M2 to ever reach someone, and that Blink hit finally got converted to a special hit like it needed to.
