Since when Nemesis could hit crouched survivors over windows?

[The Janitor]

I'm a Nemesis main. I know literally everything about him so don't reply to me like I missed something. When survivors vault a window, finish the vault animation and crouch, they cannot be hit with the tentacle whether they're hugging the window or very far from it. (Imagine Tier 3 range and a survivor is crouching there. You still cannot hit them if they're crouching.)

Now when I'm playing as survivor against Nemesis, I wanted to use this against him too since survivors get very salty after just holding a button to dodge his attack. Idk why you guys be toxic just because you guys dodged his power? Get a life. Anyway, I wanted to do this at the same window I was abused with as Nemesis. I literally vaulted the window and I held control key and waited for him 10 seconds to try and hit me. I was holding it and I was like "Heeeeyyyyyy come on hit me LOL". He used his whip and hit me... how?

Why it didn't work when I was the Nemesis but now it works when I'm the survivor. No, this isn't a skill issue. No, the other part of the window wasn't "high" (altitude was the same as the other side). Please explain how that worked.

I actually thought it was always that way.

Maybe it's the distance? I find that when I do the crouch tech thing against nemmy, I sometimes get hit and sometimes I don't. I always thought it was a distance thing but I'm not really sure.

Tentacle-hit is actually bugged.

But you can basically tentacle-hit over some specific walls & windows.

You just have to aim upward, like over the survivor's head.

It is with the exception of the swamp map which has windows that are higher than a crouching survivor and thus will always block the hit.

That looks like Nemesis is just dragging the tentacle, if you strafe immediately after whipping you can drag the hitbox with you.

as long as you see the survivor through something, you can hit them over it. Sometimes ping or lag might prevent hits, but it shouldnt be a big issue if you can whip drag effectively

No, it doesn't work like that. Even if you see them, you may not hit them due to BHVR destroying Nemesis' power. Why can't we just hit over the window and get a hit even if the survivor is crouching?

Allways have been like that wich is joke.
The tentacle whip already gives survivors a 3rd health stage and they can easily avoid it making him weaker killer than he should be.

That's exactly what they did. You can hear the whip hit the object in front of him but that doesn't stop the hitbox searching for a survivor. Priority is survivor>pallet>environment.

Exactly my same experience! Nemi is one of my main killers that I play. I am constantly getting counter-played by survs who will vault a window, or drop a pallet and simply crouch to be completely impervious to my tentacle strike. Regardless of tier.
So I’ve played some games against Nemi recently and he’s been able to tentacle strike me, while I’m crouched behind cover, with tier one tentacle strike. I’m doing absolutely nothing different from the survs who counter me with this move. Yet somehow it doesn’t work for me. It’s absurd. I guess I have a different version of DBD that screws me over.

Wait people get hit by the Nemesis tentacle? I thought he had to miss three time before he got to punch.
