They nerfed a perk that only she used, in order to not nerf HER directly. Let's stop acting like she stopped being OP and won't be again, because they will fix her. Not even playing DbD at the moment, but hey. Anything that stops killer mains from having it too easy? That's a welcome thing.
I play both sides pretty evenly. Rank 1 on both (not that it matter rank is now dead lul). I don’t think that you have to get good with pretty much any part of her kit, it’s all fairly easy. To answer your questions:
Yes, yes, yes (I never use Stridor on Spirit, it’s so lame), and yes.
Since when do scratch marks take longer to appear in phase? I’ve never been aware of that mechanic, but if so, it was also never noticeable to me.
Does Nurse “have it easy” because she can blink through walls? Spirit takes skill to perform at a high level. It’s a different kind of skill, especially when it comes to predictions at windows and pallets. But undoubtedly some of the folks here are gonna babble stuff like “Hur dur, she is super easy to play”.
I’d like to see some of the people on this forum pick up Spirit and try getting at least a 1K on a team like ORACLE. She wasn’t a “free 4k killer”.
Mush, I was a Spirit main for 2 years, I'm pretty sure I'm allowed to say that's she's stupidly imbalanced. This entire game is balanced around reacting and adapting to what your opposition does, a killer that gives 0 feedback on what she's doing is stupid.
People try to defend the easiest killer to have ever been conceived, the Spirit, by comparing her to Nurse. Nurse does take actual skill and, most importantly, has a clear counter: be unpredictable, change direction when she starts blinking, go towards her. This way you might not escape her, as almost all of the killers who find you will tunnel you until Chapter 2500 comes out, but you still have a chance at wasting some of her time. With Spirit, you can't. Unless they guy playing her is on his first time on a videogame, she will catch you. Because you can't see her. Because she moves faster. Because she hears you running, breathing, grunting. Because she can stand still and fake her power, and you will have no way of knowing. Hell, back when she was released, and for quite some time, she even had a different vault animation that DIDN'T show her vaulting.
Nurse and Spirit only share a SINGLE similarity: you will have a very hard time escaping them. But while Nurse takes skill, Spirit does not. At all. In the slightest. Not by a single chance. I happened to find a picture, a while ago, that perfectly surmises her, and I kept it because I know they day would have come to show it. Here.
And before you try to use the excuse of "Iron Will counters her blah blah", every killer has to be designed in a way that, even by perkless survivors, they can be countered in some way. You DON'T have to be depending on a perk in order to survive a certain killer. Guess we're done now. Peace.
Dude, people really use any excuse they can get these days, don't you. "You can't see a ghost". That has got to be the lamest excuse I have ever read. So you cure yourself from a disease by drinking water from a fountain? You don't turn from zombie bites? You stop bleeding out by touching yourself where you were cut? You become invisible when people ring a bell in the nearby church? Do you perhaps teleport to things you carved with your nails? Do you stay completely healthy if you get a harpoon through your stomach, but don't get hit by a blade after that? It's just a hole in the stomach, right? It's not like you're losing gallons of blood and probably having acid (gastric juices) releasing in your body. Not to mention that I haven't seen Ash from Evil Dead running faster than light every time he used his chainsaw, in the show.
I mean, look at their build and your build.. Look at their rank and your rank.. look at your addons and their. Probably even with trapper you could win that.
Personally Stridor’s nerf wouldn’t even bother me if Spirit wasn’t bugged.
However, Stridor’s ONLY purpose was to counter Iron Will - and even then it was hardly used. Now Stridor has been relegated to the ever-growing list of useless perks.
I hadn't seen Spirit in forever until somewhere last week. The match starts, I make my way over to a gen, when I suddenly hear the sound of a phasing Spirit, followed by the sound of a disconnecting survivor.
Closing up the thread as it has gone off topic with attacks on one another after requesting to keep the conversation civil. Please remember, there is no need to be uncivil with one another for differences of thought and opinions.

Don't sink
You sure it's a cat and not a Flerken?

let me get out the world's smallest violin for you
Omg now Spirit will have to guess just like survivors have had to for 3 years! Spirit is finally balanced!!

Found the survivor who dies to Spirit every game.
That’s the whole point of her power. You’re not supposed to see a ghost.

She can’t see you, and if you’re injured and running iron will she can’t hear you either… how is there zero counterplay?

same....
Stepping in with a reminder, please remember to keep the discussion civil and respectful towards each other, and their points of view.
Took way too long for them to look at Stridor. That's too many years.

Great.
Clearly that survivor doesn’t know it’s super easy to juke Spirit now.
ye, cuz nobody plays her anymore
