Dracula is overpowered

[Seagull Steve]

Very low cooldowns, almost as fast as Spirit in Bat form with also teleport ability, with weaker Wesker dash, with Nemesis range attack that you can shot even beyond higher walls than with Nemi. He needs his hot fix buffs reverted (cooldown and bat speed).

He’s far from overpowered lol. You need to track better and bait him at pallets. His wolf dash is really easy to dodge

[glythe]

Just make it so you cant duck the Nemesis whip?

he's a weaker pyramid head not a more powerful nemesis, which is admittedly still stupid what they chose to mix to make dracula

He can flame strike you across long walls mid loop and if he injures you he just switches to Bat and back at you in like 5 seconds after he injured you. There is no space or distance you can make from him, it's too much. Not even Spirit can do that.

He is for sure stronger than Nemi. Nemi can't teleport and switch into light version of Spirit and be on you in metters of few seconds after he injures you.

I do not believe he is OP at all. However I do not think he is weak either.
I do think you need a bit more practice and learning how to play against him though based on some of the things you have mentioned. It would probably also help to actually play as him so you can see some of his issues first hand.

Personally I would put him above Nemmy. That said his anti-loop is weaker than Pyramid Head's anti-loop. He does have a better map presence than Pyramid Head but Pyramid Head has some mechanics that allow him currently to negate a few things that a lot of other killers can not. So its really hard to say what one is better there. I think its more of a preference in style/tactic.

Yeah Vecna and Dracula seem to indicate we'll have more "situation-heavy" Killers from now on, either with several powers to choose from or through forms to transform into. As Killer main I'm not a big fan, I like simple killers. Finding the right build is already challenging (but fun) because you have to navigate a pretty large parametric space, but with multiple powers and shapes, this number skyrockets.

unknown also has two powers that dont really directly interact or synergise, true as well to a lesser extent with chucky and also true for alien

I personally do not mind it. In some ways I like it but I also like the more single minded killer powers. Then again I have been playing this game for a long time and I like having variety at this point. I tend to play most of the killers. ( I say most since admittedly some of the killers in my roster have been collecting some dust as of late.. I should change that but I do not like playing them as much compared to others so its easy to neglect them. )

Only thing he doesn't have in his kit is info, which is probably the least usefull ability to have. He has 3 chase powers (catch up, anti-loop and dash), mobility (teleport, speed) all in just one power with very small cooldown or movement penalty. He is just powercreep machine.

Oh I'm not saying there shouldn't be such Killers, if anything more variety is welcome. However, Unknown and Chucky (or Xeno) are different because those are more "modes" you switch between than actual forms (I mean for Chuck and Xeno specifically). It's comparable to Feral Frenzy, Evil Within III and such, which are on a timer. Maybe the closest would be Knight who has to make strategic choices when using his power?

He's not overpowered, however he is overtuned

The bat form into attacking is far too low, he invalidates Spirit as a Killer

Knight is kind of a oddball.. If he does not use his power he is just a m1 killer. If he does he is basically 1 m1 killer + a weaker m1 temp bot doing things...

I guess you can say that Vecna and Dracula do have to be strategic in how they use their powers in a way. Its not quite the same but it is very similar when put down to basics.

This I disagree with strongly. She is stronger than him when it comes to this. Unlike Dracula, she can attack as soon as she comes out of her power, Dracula does have a timer in between where he can not attack or use powers. ( it can be reduced with some addons but its still there. )
