This video explains the effect of some of the Spirit’s most troublesome add-ons (and how their unpredictable nature makes playing her even harder).

So, first people complained Spirit had collision (and rightfully so, she could find people like that) and they said if devs took away collision Spirit would be just fine. Now people complain about Spirit not having counterplay in general cause "its guessing game". As if you cant loop Spirit. Sooooo, i guess its never going to be enough?
I think the issue is her power has no down side to using it. Most other killers do.
Phead you can’t swing quickly and the power can be dodged.
Nurse basically gets stunned.
Billy gets a slowed down.
Demo gets slowed down.
Clown and huntress and trickster have to reload.
Slinger has to reload gun.
And even worse, if some of these characters mess up their ability they get punished, like bubba for example.
But spirit has none of this, what is the negative of using the power randomly? There is none, what happens when spirit uses her power badly? Nothing.
Would it matter if the addons were changed? The spirit could still fake the phase and mindgame the survivors that way.
My guy you should've just put ''The Spirit is problematic''
Otz misses the point imo.
Only some really crazy players will be able to track these timings so precisely. And even then there is always a big uncertainty, because survivor don't know for sure when she starts phasing.
Some of these add-ons are really busted. That's the main issue. Mother daughter ring, combined with 3.5 s longer phasing is totally op.
This is why I love "otz" my guy wasn't scared to speak aloud on This debate. They really just need to nerf spirit, and especially her add-ons. Like Wtf dBd…?
Attempt 1: Way too early ❌
Attempt 2: Forgot what was going on ❌
Attempt 3: Accepted fate🏳❌
…it was inevitable, but I'm still sad.😭
Yeah I just use common add ons for spirit chase her add ons are too good
Player: * Has headphones *
Survivors: Spirit is OP :'(
But when they win against spirit the endgame chat is: GG EZ can't even win with an op killer your garbo my guy
Impressive how nobody talks about keys and hatch offerings or dead hard/iron will.
The argument that spirit has no counter-play comes off as hypocritical from many people: unsafe pallets that are 50-50's are good, but spirit making safe pallets 50-50's is not good. Regardless, either side of the argument is completely pointless because no one even knows what the game is being balanced for.
I Just Think She Requires No Skill
1:31 I timed it just half a second too early, but in my defense, I don't play against Spirits often.
1:46 Basically spot on
1:56 90% sure I'm ABSOLUTELY frame perfect
Now, I already knew her addons were BS, but now I'm realizing just how much. Thanks for opening my eyes, Otz. I'm still gonna be crucified because I have basically the exact opposite opinion on Spirit compared to the rest of the community, and we all know how toxic hive-mind opinions can be, but now I can at least try to reason with people with the only 2 things that I believe make her as bad as everyone says she is: Stridor and her addons.
Get some sleep otz
Truetalent has left the chat
Otz once proposed a very fun change. Let the spirit have a passive phase in and out of existence while she is phasing. The same way she banishes while chasing, she could reappear sometimes while phasing (similar to old freddy). I think that passive phasing was a feature the player could control, this would open for new strats about giving and taking information.
She has the same weaknesses as wraith, flashlight and pallet. She is just a bit harder to detect.
How to counter bubba facecamp next vid plz
Small note, but the Move Speed add-on values are incorrect. Spirit using Mother-Daughter Ring moves at 220% speed, a 46% speed added on to her base. All the other speed add-ons also have lower values.
1:42 0,4 seconds early
Take a break dude, you posted 4 videos today. your mental health is much more important to me than your uploads.
At first devs should gave her phase animation, thats would cut half of guesses. But true her addons are insane
