Pyramid head has no counterplay and i'm bored and tired of it..

[GangsterRat3478420]

Like..you place your sword in the ground and you just hit survivors under windows and pallets...cool very fun and interactive.. When are we decreasing the range or nerfing range addons for that killer? When are we making it so he cant just spam is torment shots over and over again even when his trail meter is fully depleted it makes no sense?? When are we decreasing the width and range of that punishment of the damned shot? The ONLY counter play to that mindless power is just pre throwing pallets when your light years away but then you still need to dodge that grossly overtuned range of that punishment shot and hope you win the 50/50 just to make it to a pallet where he can just hold down m2 to zone and cheese you under it and you die...its boring asf

So you lost a match against him and feel like nerfs are justified as a result? I barely see him. He should be buffed, if anything.

You're essentially asking "when are we making Pyramid Head an M1 killer?"

Have I stepped into some alternate dimension where Pyramid Head and Demogorgon are OP?

[Demox]

I guess you can ask everyone I've played against, a lot of them have no issue dodging punishment. If you want some advice, you bait out attacks by faking taking a window or pallet and if the pyramid head is far enough away or is late to using the attack then you can easily weave out of the way after fast vaulting. The easiest people to hit are the ones that never fake or fake all of the time, the former is obvious but for people who fake all the time, all I have to do is walk in to where they were going and more often than not they try to double back and I body block them so I let go of the power and just hit them. If you decide to fake then you have to commit to it.

The counter play is to dodge it, either by running to the side or by faking a direction or pallet/vault and moving away. It is very easy to miss those as Pyramid Head, and even harder to properly aim it. It also has an animation lock that prevents attacks for a short amount of time if it is cancelled.

Another counterplay is to circle around Pyramid Head close to it, since it has a limited turning speed that can make it difficult to track those survivors.

Pyramid Head wants to bait survivors into using a pallet or vaulting a window because it is an easy hit. So just don't do that. Don't run in a predictably straight line.

Where did anyone say they were OP?

Nowhere, it was a question.

and all he does is just hold down m2 and wait for you to do anything at all and shoot you under it, that killer shouldn't be able to shoot his punishment of the damned when his torment meter is fully depleted..

The answer is No then.

So they're balanced and these complaints are unjustified? Noted.

Are people actually taking this thread seriously? OP is called "Skull Merchant = DC", that tells you all you need to know

Fair point.

OK, I'll have BHVR add a killer that auto wins 50% of the matches and auto loses the other 50%, but you have to stay in the match for 10 minutes before that happens, without an option to leave early. Balanced killer, not very fun.

Good luck.

Fun is subjective.

Why would they want to play against Skull Merchant?

Why are they ruining the game for 80% of the lobby by immediately leaving?

Most P heads in EU play so sweaty

[GrantBitman]

Just don't get hit by the power, that's the counterplay, easy enough.

Well, they aren't responsible for other people's fun.

Then people playing Pyramid Head aren't responsible for OP's fun, either. If they find him boring, tough.

Yeah that was meant to show absurdity of that argument.

Because this definitely isn't an absurd argument.
