Neighbor too overpowered

[Hawkvr]

Great to have a new map. Major problem with neighbor though, he is just overpowered. No point even hiding as neighbor, just start grabbing. He is too strong. We turned off keycards and only 3 locks. Neighbor still wins everytime. Staying together doesnt help either. Rage ability allows to heal and then he just carrys on catching. Remove heal on neighbor with rage. He needs to be less powerful otherwise he does not use any of his ablilities. Putting in an option to scale the neighbor strength might help. Please nerf neighbor.

100% agree with this

[DarkWr4ith]

I agree. A group of us has been playing for a while and we stopped playing because the neighbour was too overpowered and winning every game. We decided to come back because of the new map. Now we literally set the map to 3 keys (with 6 players) and no keycards and we still lose to the neighbour within a few minutes.

The classic neighbour using rage means he can just swoop around the kids, even when they are all together, and just pick them up and go around a corner. Even with the kids actively attacking him it is impossible to kill the classic neighbour. I'm afraid we won't be playing further until this problem is addressed.

I would suggest possibly nerfing the Rage ability to no heal the neighbour too. I see that the latest dev post was talking about handling the ability upgrades for the neighbour differently. I will look forward to a resolution.

He's definitely too op

Classic neighbor is very hard to kill, but consider that each of the kids has potential as well. I don't need a neighbor debuff necessarily, but some more options for the kids in the map to foil the neighbor would be great.

[chierin]

yeah, my aim is good. so im easily to kill de_neighbor :P

[NitrosTropy]

I can agree the most problem is if you are alone or have a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ teamate he can easy get you from the game. Also his rage makes him a beast so even a 3vs1 are doesn't enough. Everytime i play him i win it's not even a challenge. In beta he are weak because kids then have a greater stuff after the release he's become a god. I will apreciate some traps in house to be trapped in or protect from the neighbor like inventor can open time clock what only possible by neighbor

[LmX]

i think everything is balanced

[ExtremeBoss]

True! The Neighbor wins more than The Kids.

[AGW]

yes i agree but the 2 seconds of stamina he has i do not agree

great, more people who don't know the importance of sticking together

neighbor isn't OP, its so easy to stun lock this guy, and the slightest tap will make the neighbor drop anyone

if you have no intention of sticking and working together, don't bother playing, because neighbor is underpowered as hell

Except the fact even if you do all stick to together for the most part other kids will be in the way so you can't always have everyone hitting the neighbor, and you do know that pelting him gives him his ability to rage which means he then can freely kill a kid without taking damage and wont drop a kid when he is hit

We spent a good 5 minutes pelting the neighbor with items which would mean he would get rage up, and just spam grab kids or use our own items to knock us down. There is no strategy to that its just brute forcing your way to a victory.

I'm indifferent on this opinion. I spent a while pelting him with another player and yeah, we still lost but there have been times where I've seen players stun him and give him the slip so... I guess it's more about tactics? imo it does kind of suck that he can use items against us but I guess neighbour needs to have an upper hand somewhere rather than simply grabbing.

his rage literally lasts like a couple of seconds, thats hardly OP

all you have to do, don't spam attacks just hit him whenever players are caught

once his grip is gone, run... its literally not that hard

cough cough just throw items at him only when hes carying a child cough cough
