This build on The Artist is absolutely disgusting, and this is one of a few reasons why I think Dead Man’s Switch really needs a nerf in it’s current state. It’s just absolutely insane the amount of pressure you can apply all over the map basically for free.

Nerf survivor
If you feel like you don’t need blood favour you can probably replace it with Oppression, if you’re able to hook next to a Gen you can kick, it would either regress the Gen, they miss the skillcheck triggering DMS or they hit the skill check. Might be an idea
This is only OP on the Artist….. just say that. No other killer would be able to push survivors off the gen from a far distance. Meaning this nerf argument is pointless and brainless on your end.
Why should a perk be nerfed because of one killer? if anything this is more of a Artist problem. I think you’re jumping the gun on this
I disagree. This perk is the the perk which helps buying time against all the gen rush perk and toolboxs
They need to just do what VHS does. The closer the killer is to the hook, the slower the hook-state drain is.
Holy crap, the reveal of the survivors' perks/add-ons on that last game. Did NOT see that coming.
If dead man’s switch needs a nerf then so does Deadhard
this video serves a dual purpose of showing how boring camping actually is. it definitely wasn’t the intention of the video but there’s not really any fun in doing it, if it werent for your commentary and the occasional break off from the hook it would’ve been a snore fest. i don’t get how anyone can camp dude 😭
I don’t think a nerf is needed. There’s two people that play artist, and neither of them facecamp. It’s like dealing with basement bubba, but super super uncommon.
I don't think it's just artist problem. Dms is way too powerful perk on alot of killers but obviously completely broken on the artist.
The biggest drawback to this build is that survivors can just commit to repairing the generator since you need to hit them 4 times to stop them.
First noed and now dead man's, I don't think I haven't the brain power to slog through another one of these hot takes
This has actually been my go to artist build for a while(not camping though), and I usually run pain res or noed. Imagine that first game if that hook was a sourge hook, even more disgusting, although that could just be a 'win-more' perk.
Do literally nothing and win? Dang sounds just like the devs
I've played against this same killer and build several times and never won (usually in the bone pit). This build was shown by I think OTZ long ago. It just annoys me on just about every comment section about this game, you have people complaining about COH and Dead Hard while they say this game is so survivor sided. Yet I've been destroyed over and over by this impossible META build, and it's still not fixed or nerfed.
Nah thats like trying to nerf a camping Bubba w/ NOED u can get a few kills but they really need to nerf camping
I love Artist. She is definitely S tier killer yet not many people play her. She’s not as good as Blight or Nurse but for me she’s definitely 3rd or 4th strongest killer.
Well, one killer gets this, with some variations on the build, that happens very rarely. Survivors still have E.
Also, while still painful, survivors can commit through the first three crows. Negating most of the pressure, and they can be healed later since artist isn't immediately near them.
Corrupt and Blood Favor is nuts as is, throwing in Deadlock and Dead Mans is damn near freelo
Ima do this build and ima change my gamer tag to “Tofu Made Me Do It”
bro that last survivor squad should be ashamed of themselves losing so badly lmao
The way I see it is if survivors don't feel sorry for killers whenever they have a huge advantage why should the killers
I feel like this is a unique issue for the artist more so than the actual perk. Birds probably shouldn't be able to be projected so close to hook with someone on it. Maybe 20 meter radius. Cuz then atlest your not making eyeball contact with the hooked survivor like Bubba and it allows room for safer unhooks.
I disagree that the perk needs a nerf because one your using the artist who’s only really can do this.
I think a good nerf for dead man’s would be a cooldown of 100 seconds for example or making it a scourge hook perk
I love watching people camp this is gold
Ah yes yes let's nerf a perk because 1 out of 26 of the killers makes it op. While we're at it let's nerf Make your Choice because it's too busted on The Hag and I'm tired of facing all of these Artists and Hags abusing these perks.
Feel like the survivors builds at the end are equivalent to the build. At the level of mmr aren't 80% of the players try hards 4 man squads anyways
This is a strong build without the camping on Artist as well I think, you counter this by grouping up and doing gens together, 1 at a time and don't go for the hook. However, if you play solo as I do, then good luck lol
Not even sure what devs could do to resolve this, I don't want to see Dead Man Switch nerfed in any way, so any changes should be done to the Artist, maybe not allowed to setup crows near a hooked survivor?
As a artist main myself
I don’t think deadman’s is that strong, when tofu used it with ink egg he has to wait about 15 seconds then them placing and going off so they can get about what 20ish-25 seconds worth of gen progress then u half to be accurate with those 4 shots on them which could cost a extra 2-3 seconds , the first showing of the match wasn’t that strong a example to probe your point like yah they get off the gens but reality survivors if they play a artist need 2 do these simple things
1. Listen to the crows or count how many of its 3 crows u got a big amount of time in chance if u swarm them u got. About 15 seconds before she can hit u again , her anti loops in my opinion honestly isn’t that strong because of the distance of the dire crow there r several times where u hit them at a close range to do damage and it just swarms them so her power at close at times is very inconsistent
Also the reason why I don’t think u can say it needs nerf this is 1/32 killer and she’s very seldomly played for example dh 50% of people basically use it in a match that’s more of reason to say yah this needs it , not tons of killers can pressure tons of gens like artist she’s really the only one besides huntress ,plus the first few times it can work after that not so much
Survivor have more 2 chance perks and the game is more survivor sided and isn’t balanced so I think deadman’s is perfectly fine
Also I don’t get why he used a hex that prevents pallets from being thrown artist does already have anti loop so I don’t see why add that one that’s just my opion
My build for artist is bbq, dead mans , scourgae, corrupt intervention , with add ons idle crow and the one that allows the swarm to last longer so you can be more accurate with further snipes
Damn probably the most amount of Dislikes ive ever seen on a Tofu vid 🙁 People do realize that he is calling this ugly playstyle? That or the dislikes are coming from people who play this way and are mad they are being exposed
you could replace blood favour with lethal pursuer to get the hook even quicker
I hope you make a vid on how busted Pain Resonance is. It's like a better BBQ & Pop put together. The rng of the Scourge hooks doesn't seem to be enough to counter balance the perk either. Once the Killer gets one or two Resonance hooks the match just starts to snowball out of control. And then you add DMS and omg, it's ggs unless you're in a full meta swf squad. I was wondering why when I played Killer I kept running into sabo Survivors, and I now know why. It's the only real counter to these perks. Sabo is the way I guess >.>
This game is insanely survivor friendly for once it's nice to have a perk like Dead Man's to have fun at times.
this doesnt need a nerf, the devs said it themselves, kill = skill, this is just clearly skillful gameplay. I mean how good are the survivors at surviving if they cant just survive?????
You probably won't see this but I have a build idea for Pinhead. Dead Man's Switch + Chatterer's Tooth + Iridescent Lament Configuration. You hook someone, then you go pick up the box to make everyone scream which forces them off the generators activating dead man's switch. It might not work as great as I imagine it in my head, but it could be a pretty fun video. Love the content btw! ♡
ty someone finally said it, played an artist a few days ago she face camped every hook and sent crows to every gen (she had scourge + dms) so naturally u had to let go of the gen blocking it she did this all game and finally killed the last 2 people with noed, got outplayed, zero gen pressure all game and got a 4k… but the game is survivor sided right?
edit: this is exactly what tofu is talking about and doing
such a dumb perk and killer
Watching Tofu's youtube, I came to the conclusion that he really, really, really didn't want to make about 80% of his videos, according to him.
perk does not need a nerf they have nerfed enough killers they nerfed Wraith and Freddy!!! And if you can't work around one perk that all you have to do is wait until she sends her crows and then hop on the gen maybe you should work on your gameplay instead of trying to Nerf killers and their perks. In my opinion the only perk that needs nerfed or just totally taken out of the game is Boone circle of healing because it's totally game breaking and very unfair for the killer there's no counter to it if you snuff it the survivors just go and relight it or they need to make it where the killer can relight their hex perks. But preferably just take it out of the game altogether or make it like the killer totems where it's a one-time use thing.
Imagine claiming literally anything killer related needs a nerf while Dead Hard exists.
I don’t believe DMS needs a nerf, personally I see this as an Artist problem. When Monitor and Abuse was considered OP on Slinger, they nerfed Slinger, not the perk. Starstruck is considered OP on Nurse yet Nurse or the Perk hasn’t been nerfed because if it was, it would be near useless on other killers.
Just because one perk is powerful or well paired on one killer, doesn’t mean that perk should be nerfed. What’s powerful on one killer, may be mediocre/medium tier on another killer. So if that perk gets nerfed because of One killer’s usage, now it’s useless for other killers.
I’ve started running DMS, Deadlock, Corrupt and Pain Resonance casually as Deathslinger. In all reality it just slows the game down so I can get more chases without worrying about Gens, but without Pain I get almost zero value from DMS as it stands alone. But that’s just my opinion.
stop saying that or they will actually nerf it, this is a survivor side game
Noed does the same thing. Camp a guy and power creep the rest lmao
