      So play nurse or blight, dont play fair, tunnel, probaly dont camp unless you have two people in basement cause otherwise its ineffective and then bam, you are learning strong killers, actually showing skill in the game and you might even have fun chasing instead of kicking the same three gens over and over again.
      Plus survivors get miserable so you still achieve that aswell.

    Thanks to your outright hostility, I've made the decision to play m1 Skull Merchant with Devour Hope, Save the best for last and dissolution but only using my drones to protect my devour hope.
    Then, if I see any level of success, buying some Skull Merchant cosmetics.
    As for a rework idea... Skull Merchant is based on a character who was loosely described as "using technology to accomplish their skills" or something of the sort.
    Take away the flying drones and give her small land based ones. Some that are already on the map, doesn't need to be placed down. She keeps her little iPad thing.
    At the beginning of the match, each drone is inactive and the only thing they'll do is if a survivor gets close enough, it'll light up (informing the survivor it sees them) and give a sonar-esque ping on Skull Merchant's iPad. The sonar ping will be intermittent, every 7 seconds, it sends a ping. These drones can be destroyed, similar to a Victor kick but they can also become activated by the skull merchant by using her ipad thing, at which point, if the drone sees you, aura revealed. It will remain active for a duration and turn back off, it can follow you as well. Slower than survivors, can be kicked. If an activated drone is kicked, survivor is injured, deep wounds if already injured, down if already deep wounds.
    They'll be like nemesis zombies but less annoying since you can kick them.

      @@onthe_hunt5651The rework idea I gave does have it's flaws, as.. essentially, she's still an M1 killer with no power that'll actually help her in chase. I thought for a moment that if a drone is close by, Skull Merchant could direct it to block a pallet or a window... but when we look at other killers who can do this sort of thing, Artist and Knight, it would just be more of the Shift W counterplay, so maybe something else...
      Buuuut... then again, it may not be too bad of an idea since the the drones are slower than the survivors and breakable. Perhaps leave a bit of a window before the drone blocks the vault/pallet for the survivor to either kick it or drop the pallet to break the drone.

    • @darththeo
      @darththeo Год назад

      Depends on the Skull Merchant build. But, she is beatable especially depending on generator placement in the map.
      I have played a few games as Skull Merchant, even have her adept achievement. There was a game I lost because even though I had drones on the last three generators, they were progressing all three at the same time. When I went to one I either had to chase the survivor to down them or kick the generator and move to the next one. It wasn't a fun game for me and I assume them, so I have switch back to playing Huntress mainly.
      I like Skull Merchant's design but beyond that she is kind of boring unless you play her suboptimally.

    Ok this is going to be a little bit of a* L O N G* comment, so feel free to just read the TL;DR at the bottom if you literally don't care (because this is a rant xd), but I do want to bring my points as to why I totally disagree on just deleting Skull Merchant, despite me disliking this killer too.
    1) No need for desperate measures when she just needs a rework or adjustments to greatly de-incentivise 3-gen strats:
    This may not fix her inherent flaws as the killer she is, but I do believe that with sufficient feedback and ideas from the community, the devs can reach to a state where SM can't mindlessly hold the game hostage, as far as I know, that doesn't sound like Chess to me...
    However, if we make her basekit drones reward *smart* use of them with the hypothetical rework or adjustment, then there would be less incentive to just have a 3 Gen, however they would still need to address her innate strength for 3-gen strats, similar to how some Knight players also tend to go this route because, while it's not as strong as SM in this aspect, he's probably the second after SM.
    2) Removing SM from the Store doesn't solve nothing:
    As you said in your video, BHVR "can" just remove SM from the store so no one has to buy this busted killer, and the only precedent to this "solution", was the Stranger Things chapter... one big problem:
    *It was because of a licensing issue*
    It wasn't because people were complaining about the chapter (which was generally very well received from the community), it was strictly because Netflix said "fuck you lol" and the license couldn't get renewed, so they HAD to take Demo n' company off the store.
    EVEN IF, we assume that Demogorgon was also completely and fundamentally broken, removing the chapter from the store wouldn't solve *anything*, there would still be a lot of people that would have him (which is the case), so they'd still have to fix Demogorgon, but let's also just say that they permantently "kill-switched" that killer to oblivion, because the devs can also kill-switch stuff from the game, guess what that's still a problem.
    *Because people spent their money to get the chapter*, unless you grinded your arse of Iri shards, which is still a hefty sum of investment, in the form of playing the game, that would just get ERASED from your account and it wouldn't even be the player's fault, it would be unfair, and outright abusive to the consumer.
    3) Human beings worked on Skull Merchant:
    Despite the killer releasing as it did, despite the obvious gameplay flaws and despite being easily the worst killer to date, people still had to code her in, artists had to be involved with her design, 3D modelling, animations, lore, and etc.
    Sure it's mid as fuck, don't get me wrong, I heavily dislike the way SM turned out to be, but it's no excuse at all to throw all the effort people put in making her into the trash bin as if it was all in vain.
    I don't know what the hell happened behind the scenes for this to be the result, because these are the same people that worked on the Singularity, Dredge, Oni, Blight, Pyramid Head, Wesker, Nemesis, and so on. These people HAVE some serious talent, so something wrong had to occur in terms of *direction* that the end result of SM was so mediocre overall.
    I hate Skull Merchant a lot, and I don't understand why people would even want to main her, when killers like Blight, Wesker, Oni or many others that are enjoyable, exist. I know this video is mostly a *rant* and like, there isn't any incentive for me to even say all of this, but something about this negativeness tipped me off a bit, so I wanted to share my own input to this, both as a Skull Merchant hater, and a Killer Main as well, I'm also interested in any other input you might add to this comment, if you even care that is lol.
    *TL;DR Deleting her doesn't solve shit and contributes nothing to the whole problem with Skull Merchant*
    (Sorry for writing an entire bible transcript btw)

    • @CycloopsDBD
      @CycloopsDBD  Год назад +1

      This is a very good discussion, I'll address your points
      1) Desperate measures (not the perk) weren't taken, I was acknowledging that SM is such a fundamentally unfun killer, only because of her entire power design being unfun to play against. I normally wouldn't post such a wild opinion, however SM is broken TO THE CORE. In no way will a rework change anything, her powe will still be generally hated.
      2) The stranger things comparison was purely made as an example of how to remove content from the game, since it was pretty much the only big content ever removed from the game. Removing SM from the stores will decrease the amount of people who play SM significantly, I mean look at demo. Before and a little bit after he was removed people played the hell out of him. But now I run into a demogorgon once in a blue moon.
      3) Very good point that people have worked very hard on this killer, I am aware that it took lots of time, effort, and money to create SM. But BHVR still created something fundamentally broken. I understand if we removed her, all of those peoples hard work will be lost. I don't know how I could justify doing that, but I still want my enjoyment and other people's enjoyment to come first, since that's the literal only thing video games need to keep a consistent playerbase. SM was a wake up call for the devs, it should it the future prevent any sort of unfun Killers again. I'd be surprised If we got another after the backlash of SM.
