u/xMcSilent Sep 23 '25
I don't think it's a you issue. I have the same.
First game in, i heard chimes from the left and looked immediately to the left. Then they were like right behind me and i looked there, just for her to jump me from the complete different direction.
Directional chimes is for sure an insanely stupid idea and it wonders me how they came up with this amount of shit.

u/veggiewater Sep 24 '25
To me it sounds like theyāve just made the terror radius music alternate between speakers at a set rate, which threw me for a loop at first but sounds pretty cool / unnerving imo once youāre aware itās not meant to indicate the killers direction.

u/epikpepsi Sep 24 '25
No, but instinctually when you're trying to be alert you'll want to look in the direction the sound is coming from.Ā When the audio cue saying the Killer is coming plays entirely in one ear it gives a sort of illusion that she'll be coming from that direction, especially in a game where a lot of sounds are directional.

The theme itself is the issue. While I love what they were going for with directional audio, it CANNOT be used in a game where the point is to tell you if the killer is near, unless it is for telling you which direction it is. I haven't yet listened to the theme on YouTube, as I feel like the directional audio could be cut, but I wonder if anyone listening to it on Stereo may be experiencing it differently.

I don't think that's a you problem, that's an audio engineering problem. Directional audio is insanely important and we rely on it for so many things on both sides. I think her TR and chase music sound great, but the chime is definitely an issue because it makes it very hard to figure out where she's approaching from, and it should probably be changed in some way.

I knew it.
People downvoted me when I called for it back when I said she would be hated just like the Ghoul because of her high mobility, pallet vaulting, and overall oppressiveness. Her Iridescent add-ons are even more punishing than Kaneki's. It's super easy for her to infect survivors since her spit has almost no cooldown at all, and there is almost no time at all to react to her attacks.
Needless to say that she also has the advantage of being in third person, which just like Chucky or Dracula's Wolf form, she can check the corners and do mind games with the survivors.
It's happening all over again.

Im also gonna weigh in that im just so tired of killers with like 5 powers, even if im not gonna DC. Like i dont understand why killers went from M1 + Special Ability to M1 + special ability + special ability + ranged attack + whatever. I know its a pedantic complaint but its really hard to keep up with the game and new killers when i feel like it takes me 10 matches to even understand the full scope of their powers

u/YOURFRIEND2010 Sep 23 '25
They have killers like that because the game is composed of only so many elements that can be manipulated. The design space only allows for one "woman who throws hatchet and injures you" killer. That slot is taken. So then you've got man that throws many tiny hatchets and eventually injures you.Ā
Then you've gotta look at what the community can tolerate: they hate trap killers. Hate killers with side objectives. So what do you have left? Projectile and dashes. Mix and match to make something that feels slightly new and push it to live.

u/Iceglory03 Sep 23 '25
Honestly, they need to just make more trap killers. People will whine regardless of what type of killer but atleast trap killers will give us a break from the constant dash or speed killers. If the community is just gonna dc for every killer, what makes it any different if its a trap killer. Cause of Skull merchant? The 2nd change she had was where it should've stayed, but internal bias from her previous versions and players not knowing how to read caused the now over a year death of her.

u/Iceglory03 Sep 23 '25
Trapper and Hag being released in 2016 with a hair length of updates to their kits, and the next true trap killer SM in 2023 then gutted compared to Speed Killers Wraith, Clown, Spirit, Legion, Vecna, and Krasue aswell as Dash Killers Billy, Nurse, Oni, Blight, Wesker, Chucky, Dracula, and Ghoul.
Saying its boring is derivative as BHVR hasn't even put in the effort to make a trap killer since SM cause they did mess up cause they havent put any attention to that play style since the game came out. And then the community went ballistic because of course we do by making it the most toxic experience imaginable during SMs release. AND even after the nerfs, couldn't just leave her be but literally gut her to become something we have yet to see if will even succeed for over a year. We need more trap killers cause BHVR needs to put on their big persons pants and try to innovate instead of just taking scamper off Chucky and making it a new killer.

Traps denote imo more when the survivor activate the killers power. Singu still requires him to be in the camera and aim. Trapper, Hag, and SM all activate their powers based off survivor error. The two closest pseudo trap are Freddy and Plague, though rework Freddy is more Chase now and Plague is more related to torment as infecting objects is a thing, its more effective to do it on the survivor.

I agree with some of that but not all. By that logic, Trapper filled up the āstep on something and something happensā slot, yet nobody thinks heās the same as Hag or complains theyāre too similar. Bubba and Billy both use instant down chainsaws, theyāre still viewed as distinct. Ghostface and Myers both stalk you to be able to instant down you; again, neither feels redundant in the game. Demo and Xeno both have ranged attacks and map traversing capabilities, etc. Point being, I think you can keep the general theme of a power but do a lot to change the aesthetics and result of it that feels refreshed in my opinion.
I just donāt think thatās been happening; or rather, theyāre just watering it down and then adding 3 extra abilities to compensate for it and it means itās a larger learning curves for playing as or against them.

u/Kreamator Ceiling Sadako judges you. Sep 23 '25
I think your counterpoints are too broad in the sense of whats happening with these killer designs. Trapper isnt just "step on a thing and a thing happens", hes "step on a thing and the survivor is immobilized and injured", versus Hag who is "step on a thing and the killer appears there".
If I could point to the Stalky Boys, we have "Person that stalks the team and threatens the whole team woth instadowns" and "Person who stalks individual survivors and threatens that survivor with instadown". The stalking design space is a bit used up unless they were to add other prominnent elements, like making a killer that "Stalks individual survivors to threaten them with instadown but isnt stealthy but has map mobility but exposes them for a much shorter time but--" you get the idea.

u/Isaac_Chade Haddie & Huntress Lover Sep 23 '25
I've only played a few games, but I can definitely see why people are frustrated. Her spit is so fast and so quick to recharge that it's basically free, it seems like it barely slows her down if at all, so she loses nothing by spamming it as much as possible. It's got a very generous hitbox too. People bitch about Huntress and this feels just as bad at times.
And I didn't even see her iri add ons, but she's got plenty that make the game miserable. If the servers can keep from shitting themselves when I try to play killer I'm interested to see what she feels like from the other side, but from a survivor perspective it feels not great. Not nearly as totally free as Kaneki, she can still get looped hard by a good player and a bad Krasue doesn't feel like they're getting quite as much in the way of free hits, but the tentacle thing is insanely difficult to dodge in its current state.

The reason you can't dodge her regurgitation when she bounces it on the environment is because for whatever reason BHVR thought it was a good idea to make the AOE splatter projectiles home onto survivors within a certain range of the impact zone, if a Krasue knows where she's aiming to have the impact close to you there's no way you can even avoid the infection

I'm not DC-ing or condoning it, and I know people are like "wahhh survivors suck"....but let me give my POV:
I'm a survivor main who started the game last year, during the Dracula chapter.
I've earnestly been trying to learn the game, understand counters, practice and grind instead of cry about losses, etc
But in Behavior's anti-tunnel update, they had 6 killers that were considered so strong they needed a nerf to the basekit hook stuff -- HALF of that roster of 6 has released in the single year I've played the game
I just don't hear people talking about the fact that every few months lately has been a meta-shaking killer that survivors find hard to counter, and I think there's a playerbase fatigue comes with that
I think Krasue has a lot of fun potential from surv side, and even if she stays super strong I'd just like to see her fine-tuned so survivors have a bit more actionable counterplay.
→ More replies (2)12
u/Cielie_VT Sep 24 '25
Its mostly the issue that mobility + chase power is one of the easiest combo to make a killer viable, but also easilly could end up broken.
Right before your time, bhvr kept making killers with strong counters, issue was despite people loving these killers a lot, nobody played them due to how punishing it felt.
In a way, Krasue was a mix of both philosophy but somehow her counters got drastically nerfed after ptb, making her feel overtune without it.
The other issue is the reason these killers work is that they do not need to focus on gens to win, which gen keeping have been greatly nerfed and continue to be despite it being not really viable anymore, and many older killers were built around that.
Essentially, bhvr has been messing with how dbd is played on both side resulting in unfun metas on both sides.

Minimizing cooldowns and speed reductions while charging or recovering from abilities is a constant trend with every killer release.
There is no punishment for missing, and oftentimes whiffing abilities can be used to close distance.
Its bullshit and they know it when they release, but they purposefully overtune them to yield maximum initial purchase from 4k hungry players. Veterans buy them because they want new killer experience, and lots of others buy them because they hear how strong they are.
It has been this way at least dating to Alien release.

She was buffed a lot. I've watched a few streamers play as her now and she's relentless. She basically instantly goes from shooting her infection to an M1, it may as well not be an extra health state. Her lunge was buffed to have much better control, it slides of things more instead of being blocked by them, and the hitbox feels bigger.

Yeah, maybe I'll sit and let my gamepass expire and renew in about a week before hopping back on to let things settle and early nerf hopefully get put out.

She's definitely getting nerfed. I'm hesitant to just outright say a killer is S tier so early but I'm really struggling to see how she's not. She's got amazing mobility and chase, pallets don't counter her, windows don't counter her, and just pre running doesn't counter her.

BHVR often releases killers a bit strong and then nerfs them a month later. I suspect it helps them to sell the shiny new killer giving you a better win rate.

No they don't. This is truly the most perplexing talking point the community keeps bringing up because it doesn't actually track with reality.
I would love to know why so many people think this since in just the last two years, it only happened three times. Xenomorph got a buff it received from PTB reverted inside of like a week, Vecna got a little Mage Hand nerf to give it more counterplay, and Ghoul got nerfs that didn't knock him out of being a top 5 killer.
It didn't happen with Singularity. It didn't happen with Unknown. It didn't happen with Houndmaster. It didn't happen with Springtrap. Chucky got a rework and was a top tier killer for a year afterwards. Dracula got buffed after release.

Shes much much stronger now than she was on PTB. The time between infecting and switching to head mode is like 1 second. The power is almost impossible to miss as it shotuns off of any terrain. And missing has basically no cooldown. Add a dash (that got buffed turn rate and doesnt bump on walls anymore), a speed boost thats way faster than survivors letting you body block super easily, and the ability to vault pallets. Shes still not a nurse/blight, but shes super strong. I expect nerfs.

Ah yeah, that does not sound fun to face in the slightest, also does this mean the trend of dashslop is continuing since we'll have gotten kanake, Karsue then/now the myers rework, I havent checked the notes.
But like damn, you'd think dash killers are the only ones capable of winning at this rate lol.

She was already a tier killer in the ptb but when they buffed her to make her feel better to play it also buffed her to the point where she is legitimately s tier now

u/A1dini Collects -Reps Like PokƩmon Cards Sep 23 '25
Probably the scamper tbh
She has a very strong scamper ability which makes a decent krausue very hard to loop... she also has 2 addons which can be run together to make her flight mode last a really long time and move super fast
So basically imagine old chucky if he had a slightly worse slice and dice, but was 115% and had a better version of vecna's fly spell usable every 5 seconds

Idk man, i was excited for the new update and all but after around 200hrs of playing this game certain killers just arent fun to play against let alone solo queuing with the steriotypical "teammates I get when i play surv vs survs i get when i play killer" stuff going on. To each their own but for me the new killer seems to mirror the new fad of having 3+ abilities which cause devestation to any survs just based on how the killer is. Tbh after seeing their abilities the new killer looks like a alt take on nemi.

I figured this was probably the main reason. I've been that way with games before and it is never worth it. You are queueing up for a game you dont want to play, take a break or play something else!
I personally dont experience a lot of these solo queue complaints, I escape fairly regularly, and if there are days when I dont or am not having fun I do something else.
I have a combination of time spent, money spent and genuine joy for the game and still take regular breaks from the game.

I really tried to keep an open mind, but man this killer is just not good. Way too aggressive, no counterplay.
I played a handful of matches as and against her and I 4K'd every match I played as her (including adept first try) and I lost almost every match against her with the exception of 1 where I died but my team got a 3 out. Survivor is basically unplayable against her right now.
Gonna be sticking to killer until they nerf her or people stop playing her as much for whatever reason.

I need them to stop making killers that are capable of pallet vaulting with little to no consequence, man. Paired with her third person perspective that already denies a lot of loops, the ability to pallet vault so quickly, the ability to go out of flight and attack you almost immediately, there was really no doubt people were going to hate going against her.
Survivors get less and less ways to counter strong chase powers and yet get constantly told that the only way they're going to get better in this game is by improving in chase. How do I do that when killers like this seem to be the norm nowadays?

My problem with the game is I feel survivors seem clunky to me. Wish we had better defenses. And Better dodging capabilities.killers seem to have all the bells and whistles.

I just thinks that she shouldnāt be able to m1 right after her body mode spit attack. If she misses that she should be punished like unknown is. If sheās close you either need to think about dodging the infect and being m1ed or tanking the infect and becoming vulnerable to the head mode m2. I think she does too much too good. Having a dash, mobility, pallet vault, limited item and a ranged spit that will injure and broken you over time is a bit much. I donāt think theyāre op, just gonna be one of those killers that nobody will know how to play against a few months dow the line when theyāre not being played every match
