I couldn't see her hips in the thumbnail clearly can you zoom in on them more next thumbnail?
Hey truetalent how is ur day
This killer is just a failure.throw it in the dump fire and hope the next one is decent
In my honest opinion, I believe the SM change is a buff, it makes using the drones in loops a viable option now as the survivor you're chasing will get detected by the drone, giving you a speed boost. Having pallets destroyed when having a claw trap on really makes you feel useless running loops and makes you want to hold forward (as a survivor). The fact people with a claw trap can't hack the drones is an easy Buff
Was Merchant nerfed? Probably. But they'll gaslight people playing her. Just like they gaslight about their net security.
I am fairly sure 99% of all American ISPs only supply dynamic ip addresses so changing your ip address is as simple as unplugging your modem, but a VPN is much easier and faster and safer. I can't imagine what sort of people do these things out of spite. I don't think ddos is ever an acceptable form of protest but at least have a moral cause and not just maliciousness.
(2nd comment on this vid) You could always continue moving while deploying a drone, so you don't have to stand still. The drone just floats over to where you last pressed the deploy button, not where you stand currently when the drone flies up
She's better in chase slightly but her 3 gen which is what she was good at is now worse so it's a nerf.
Fun fact:
When you place the drones
You dont havr to stand still
They place down from the first place when you pressed m2
So you press m2, it places in that spot
The animation is just slow
wow those fields for the skull merchant on farm maps is so hard for me to see jeez
No, I am still getting 4ks and the survivors stay 4 gened. Not 3 generally, 4 gened
Nice video
As someone who mains her I have around 1k hrs or so with like 300-500 hrs of watching tournaments and comp and ect
The problem with the update is it favors surviors because the games go long when reality is they have a ego and can’t just accept defeat or let the game go. When they especially give up on hook and killers can’t which is bs.
The 3% is the same equivalent of her blue or purple add on that gives 2% which over is more useable then the claw traps for the most part the claw traps won’t ever come into play unless it’s around 1-2 gens left , and u should only get it about 5-7 times a game with, the problem with the speed boost thou is it’s still not enough because of how long the loops are and god pallets and just strong loops in general she still drastically struggles
Even with 3% speed If it a good survior u half yo loop extremlyyyyy tight to hope and pray u get lucky enough to hit them
At 7 % it still takes her 23 seconds to catch up to the survior and even then u won’t get a hit out of it increasing it 2 about 50-52% I think is what needs to happen
All her speed needs to be buffed by 2-3 percent it should be 4-6-8-10 imo
But the problem with her now is people will run away from the gen when they here terrror radius giving u more distance to be gain which is why her speed doesn’t feel enough
In terms of the drones her chase is still so bad they nerfing her drones makes her weaker but if there’s only 3 people left it’s not as bad it’s bearable
So technically she did get buffed but it’s not my big margins and she also got nerfed
I've only had two matches with this new Skull Merchant and I think the changes are a step in the right direction, she's got some decent changes to help with the nerf to her 3 gen holding and you can still keep your drone on gens somewhat just not as much and thats a good thing because having her hold gens that well was awful and boring for everyone. They need to keep at it though I hope they dont think they can give her these changes and call it a day.
There's a big IP leak going around. Which is why this is sponsored by NORDVPN! (Owned by RAID Shadow Legends)
Maybe the steam setting that doesn't send ip for faster connection can help sometimes, worth trying
I know this is going to sound strange.. and this is just my opinion.. But. I feel she needs a complete rework.. For me I find her really boring to play and also boring to go against… Once again though this is just my opinion on her.
Played some games with her, still very broken. Needs a big nerf.
Not a fan of the battery nerf just remove the expose effect from drones now that they give haste per survivor, stealth expose and haste is a lot loaded up in 1 mechanic
Yes, the patch notes tried to make it sound like it wasn't a nerf. But it 100% was. These developers are so predictable when it comes to nerfing anything killer sided.
It was a mixture of buff and nerf. Mostly a nerf, as the Claw-traps don't last nearly as long since they can no longer recharge from running into a radius. The Iridescent Batteries also should just be flat normal duration, and not less than half at 40%, from the Previous 150%.
The buff is the haste, which is nice, but it can't be used so much since the overall duration of traps is set and can never be extended disallowing you to punish accordingly with said haste.
I personally think they should bring back letting the batteries of claw-traps recharge by half again by going into the radius of an active drone, and while the trap is attached and powered, it should passively be building up to an Exposed effect via Lock On, fully maxing out when the battery naturally would expire. (This could be sped up if they sit in a drone radius at the same time)
I also think that the traps shouldn't automatically just pop off after the batteries expire, it should stay on for 15 seconds and THEN pop off. During that time, the survivor can do the hack minigame again to remove it and cleanse the expose they've gained. This gives the survivor the choice to hold the drone longer but be vulnerable, or remove the vulnerability in exchange for giving the killer her power back. It's the same choice as you have with Plague, being able to remove the effect in exchange for giving the killer more immediate strength.
Though this change would disallow the Skull Merchant her drone back as quickly, if the Survivor's aren't careful they'll get downed for being too overzealous with trying to stall the killer's power.
For reference, right now traps last 45 seconds, and cannot be extended further without an add-on, and all that does is increase the duration by 5 seconds (12%).
Previously, it was also 45 seconds, but could be extended when a survivor went into the radius of another drone, allowing for longer tracking of that aggressive survivor.
Nerfed against coordinated survivors as she's easier to beat now if they understand what's happening, but against clueless survivors, it hasn't really changed anything as she'll still excel at being a 3 gen champ so long as she can remove one survivor early.
I think she’ll stay the way she is now, alot of killers complain she’s not fun to play as. Survs complain she isn’t fun to versus. What can be done? Nothing imo without COMPLETELY reworking the killer. This is just what Skull Merchant is.
Can't remember the last time the devs actually buffed a killer.
Streaming on twitch and YouTube exposes your IP anyone with the right equipment can get your IP. There is nothing behavior can do. Twitch and YouTube has to do something
Eh u just kind of played like shit here tbo. Give it a few more tries and see if you can get better chases
9:32 isn't it kinda funny that Survivors can just stay in front of you like this and you still need multiple hits to take them down? Survivors are finishing the gen right in front of you and you're pretty much helpless. What if you can grab Survivors who are standing still or crouching? You can grab them as long as they're stationary. What do you guys think? I think it would be interesting.
Honest question, why do u still play this trash?
2:50 Moments like this is when Skull Merchant is really cool
To answer your question true, yes American content creators had it happen just as much as EU.
Edit: and yes the ddos problem IS in fact only affecting steam. That's not to say you're completely safe on other platforms, ip sniffers do exist, but you're a lot less likely to be targeted on other platforms simply because steams version of the game doesn't require a 3rd party app to steal ips, you can do it with a router on steam.
I hope they add a trans skin for piggy
She's nerfed to death. Rip potential 3 gen killer
Maybe less people will play her now. She’s a lot like legion.. not hard to go against at all just annoying mainly.
Kinda weird how Tru3 didnt play the build, I've seen him playing this with Myers and he prioritize getting the speed first before getting into chases. I guess he was too focused on the topic of conversation
I'm trying to be optimistic for a change. Like, AS a change, to try it on for size. Maybe I'll find a bright side that I'd otherwise miss!
Wish me luck, boys.
Bit of a nerf merchant
Funny enough about the ddos. BHVR twittered a response and basically said we haven't seen any signs of this occurring so good luck. This should have told the community and the big streamers out there that BHVR really are just incompetent shell.
Ya I knew what they were going for I was the only one who said she had a chance of being good when everyone thought she was bad. And what do they do to a gen slowdown killer? Nerf her slow down
and make her "anti loop" and it's not even anti loop just making an already easy addon to get base kit and a really small haste and they can hold drones hostage. I'm done with this chapter I change my mind. Now instead of having 1 person play her you have no one playing her. Great job behavior 
Love this killer! Been playing her all day. In the right hands she is a problem.
I'm on console in America and I've been hit twice. Couldn't get back in the game.
