One of the worst character reworks in my opinion
This character Is death and nothing of value Is lost
she's useless.
Lock on should be 2 stacks and they should increase AoE of her drones then she would be good, Or maybe just make the beams move much much faster.
Alright let’s do this one last time
I love reworked is in all caps lol
What she is, is dead. RIP 2023-2023
All they needed to do at bare minimum was stop drones detecting stationary survivors. Not this shit.
She feels really weak now. Not that I’m complaining tho cuz I’m glad 3 gen merchant is dead.
As a Skull Merchant main who already played for the chase and avoided kicking gens I'm really excited. They made her two best playstyles base kit. Stealth with the brown and yellow addons; and speed up/hindered with the double purples. Even seeing nothing else I'm looking forwards to the changes
Did they stop her from being able to track people with a claw trap on? It doesn’t look like they’re displayed on her radar anymore.
Since there is a cooldown on recall and deploy, they should probably increase the speed of the drone rotation just a bit.
I love that they removed her ability to hold a 3 gen for an hour. But what does she do now?
idk why but this feels more like chess merchant, not the guy just the idea itself. it seems much more strategic now that you can’t just 3gen at least
blud actually played skull merchant 😮
All they need to do to fix her is this
Get both undetectable and 5% haste for 8 secs when placing a drone.
Because of the 5% haste, it would make the drone harder to avoid due to SM catching up quicker – currently at base speed, many loops provide enough protection for the survivor to not have to worry about the lock on mechanic – as they can just not move for a mili second when the beam reaches them
This would make SM both an ambush killer and also a better chaser – with the speed increasing the risk of lock on
Finally, disabling a drone should have more punishment – so when survivors disable a drone, they are exposed for 30 secs.
Currently she's just a WAYYY less efficient plague – her drones would be like a trash attempt at infecting survivors to injure them over time.
And while plague has the ability to slow the game down and also has a lethal ability – all SM does is injure survivors slowly … she doesn't have anything in her power that helps to DOWN consistently .. once a survivor is injured, the lock on is pointless.
Most of the time you will M1 before a survivor gets locked on, which makes the hindered pointless since it's only when the survivor has a claw trap.
She sucks now
The concept is stellar, but needs buffed.
There are a lot of good ideas here from people.
They could adjust add-ons (I don't know all of them) to alter her drones and make them faster/move/have more beams
Imagine if stealth mode drones moved/were attracted to noise like zombies, and could detect even imobile survivors? That'd be sweet.
They're moving in the right direction. The instant stealth is awesome
3K
She is faceless now, she can't do anything. Chase potential is weak, stealth potential is absent, gens control in any means is removed as well. Nobody played her and now everybody will forget she existed in this game. Crybabies in this braindead community may be proud of themselves.
As a constant player of SM, the non 3 gen one, i dont really see what is her thing now, like ? she isnt good at protecting gens anymore, her chase potencial had a lil down grade and the whole claw trap buffs seem not useful. I dont know what is her point now really.
Less gooo this Number rework is amazing!
That character has always been a joke. Now she still is, but she's an unfunny one. Good job BHVR
I hate this rework tbh. I honestly had fun with her prior playstyle because I enjoyed how she was a control-based Killers and she kind of is not anymore
She's like a lethargic instadrop Knight, and her ''guards'' take forever to activate, are really easy to avoid, and can be deactivated with no downsides. For God's sakes, her ''fast'' drone scan spinning mode is just her normal one, you can outrun them just by running by them perpendicularly. And if by some miracle the survivors manage to get hit with the claw traps, oh no, it's an injure the SURVIVORS decide when to get hit.
And oh yea, cooldowns fucking everywhere!
So yes, everyone hated her because of that annoying design and playstile resulting in 30m+ games, but this is just deleting her from the game, which I guess is what many people wanted.
I feel the number of times people need to get detected should reduce to 2 since survivors now can just metal gear behind stuff
She dont feel any different survivor's just gona cry about her regardless
Yeah this rework just made her almost bottom tier 😂 girls pretty much useless to buy
When is this update releasing
I honesty want dbd to delete this fake predator and give us the real deal
