Everyone has their favorite and least favorite killers to go against in Dead by Daylight but for most people, the Skull Merchant is at the top of their hate list. The community has spoken and BHVR has confirmed that they will be reworking the Skull Merchant sometime in 2025.

the only reason she got that high of a kill percentge is because everyone hates playing against her do they give up
Everytime i see her in any game i just feel rage no skill no lifes play her sorry 😂
I feel like most people don’t play her because they like her or find her fun, they just play her because it’s like the ultimate bm lmao. This us vs them is so bad in this community that people get their rocks off on ensuring that the other side is suffering, and merchant is just the best way to do that. It’s not a coincidence that most people that play her bm and bleed out and all that.
High kill rate is due to people giving up and people just quitting.
Not gonna lie I do pretty good against skull merchant only when my friends don’t help me. Since I get nervous during the game I just do random movements and it makes it harder for those killers to get me cause they think I’m looping but really I’m just panicking LOL
I simply think she's boring to play as and against, especially when after the nerfs people still try their absolute hardest to force a 3 gen and keep the game hostage. I personally never dc unless it's against this killer just because it's generally unfun to play against
Everyone just gives up, I can understand that if it's a 3 gen merchant, really its just because people don't give her a chance and don't know how to counter her.
A lot of people here in the comments are pointing out the fact most survivors just give up against the Skull Merchant without even trying. Let's go over WHY that is before putting the blame entirely on the people playing survivor– Skull merchant is literally the most unfun killer to go against for a LOT of reasons. For one, her entire kit is based off blocking off loops and/or locking down a solid 3 gen before the first gen even gets halfway done. A killer you can't loop or complete gens against is an almost unwinnable situation, even for some of the higher skilled survivors. I have over 3k hours into the game and I still roll my eyes when I get a Skull Merchant in solo queue because I know half my teammates will either throw the match or find a way to befriend the killer to avoid dealing with a completely miserable match. Another big reason people hate playing against her is just how EASY she can lock down a 3 gen. At that point, you don't even have to really play the game as the Skull Merchant. Just hook injured survivors who come near your 3 gen and leave chase if they run you too far from it. Matches like this can take up to an HOUR of your time. Back when we still had self heal on CoH (which they need to bring back if the devs are going to continue to reward killers for refusing to chase healthy survivors) I had a match that lasted an 1hr and 25 minutes. There is literally ZERO reason a match should take that long. Even farming matches take significantly less time than a serious match against a Skull Merchant. All that I could forgive if the killer itself was at all fun or interesting to play. But she's not. She's a complete pain to play AND go against. They need to killswitch this killer unless they're going to do something to fix her before 2025 because she's been a curse to the DBD community since she's been released.
I like merchant for her sass and I quite like the lore. Despite the music being repetitive I liked the old version better. I like her voice lines and overall voice. (I’m a homo so this isn’t a simp thing) ppl get genuine surprise when I let them go or play nice cuz the ppl who play her mostly do for the toxic aspect which sucks for the 1% ppl who play her for fun like ya boi
I love playing as her, it sucks that you've gone against rude ones
Most people have no idea what she does. The amount of times I watch her sneak up on people because they don't know she can gain Undetectable is crazy
The counter against this killer is just leave the game.
In my opinion, i think she was rushed, because i think she was supposed to be predator instead of skull merchant, but i think something happened but im not sure, even if this doesnt seem to be the case, she seems, wayyyyyy to basic for a killer, she looks like she was copy and pasted, given basic jumpsuit and mask, and called her a killer
I genuinely think SM is not that bad. The problem is how toxic her players are, there isnt a Chill Merchant out there you know. The only thing i would change about her is so the scans' progression regress cuz it's kinda unfair i take a hit from the 3rd scan if I got 1 scan at the begining, 1 at the start of the chase and only 1 at the end, and I'm down from absolutely nothing. They could make the scans go faster but go out too so this kinda shit doesnt happen. Plus her cooldowns feel a little bad to counter
i love how they reworked her and yet its still annoying
As a killer main I know she’s not the most opressive killer. The most opressive killer is either Nurse or Blight depending on the map.
I think she is fun to verse, especially the 3 gen' chess players, cuz it's actually a challenge. but i don't even think she is in the top 5 most hated lmao
Ever since the last rework she is fine but unintuitive as hell to counter for survivors.
Whenever I face her I can tell my teammates have no idea what they're doing and I really can't blame them. They need to give the drones extremely obvious visual clarity that they have no hitbox below the crouching level, the current white glow when crouching/standing still is not enough.
Her reputation of being the CEO of 3 Gens with her past kit also doesn't help. So many people just immediately kill themself on hook/dc when they play against her because they hate her old kit and get reminded of these horrible 3-gen-merchants of the past when they see her.
I'm one of those survivors who just instantly DC's against a skull merchant, I don't really have strong opinions on her kit and I think she's fine to paly against but honestly in the state DbD is in today I'm lucky if I don't get a killer who tunnels, slugs, camps, holds the game hostage or just makes everyone's experience completely miserable in one way or another. I'm honestly only playing DbD now for those 1-2 games per week where the killer isn't treating the game like an Overwatch 2 grandmaster competitive match and I haven't gone up against a single skull merchant who isn't only interested in forcing the best possible result out of a match even if that means leaving someone on the ground for their entire bleed out timer. I'll take my chances next chucky, blight, nurse or what have you that I run into
Yeah I just leave the game, I have high hours and I know I don't want to continue that match
Tired of these low-class reworks. Singularity does what she should be doing: surveillance and opportunities to 'shoot' survivors with her tracker.
I'm very certain her rework will involve making her drones downright useless. Her design deserves better. I want to be wrong
I had a skull merchant play very aggressive and tumble me many times but all of them kinda suck
I hope the rework removes her and replaces her with a weird 4 armed goblin with a giant bag of skulls he can use to summon skeletons filled with money and also create bone traps that would make more sense forever a character name skull merchant not some weird woman with drones
I play skull merchant ocasionally, but i play her as a settup killer or goof around. I dont like when people slug/camp me so i dont like doing that.
I played against her twice we did pretty good best they did was 2 kills
I wonder what type of rework she could have
As someone who just started playing not 2 months ago and really barely knows anything about perks or really anything.. I was terrified to go against her… it took over a month before I went against her. And she was surprisingly easy to counter. I don’t understand why everyone hates her so much. You can work on gens without hacking the drones as long as you crouch walk to them. You can hack the drones to get rid of them for a bit. Pay attention to where drones are and don’t let her chase you into them. 🤷🏼♀️. I have since faces SM at least 20 times and have escaped more times than not. And I’ve never gotten the 3 stacks from the drones a single time. Just pay attention
