I main SM since her release. And even tho I haven't Played Chess Merchant AT ALL, and didn't Played against SM at that time I'm glad they reworked her. Now Idk if I'm happy or scared of her second rework
I don’t get people who say Chucky is easy. You’re playing a 110% killer with a telegraphed dash ability that’s relatively difficult to land, easy to dodge, and has a 12 second cool down which is one of the longest killer power cool downs especially for dash killers. The only time Chucky can easily succeed is by tunneling (which pretty much any killer B tier above can secure a win like that) or when survivors group up (which pretty much any killer B tier or above can do that). Chucky is only easy against bad survivors.
@@thatfishguy4991 I just never had issues playing chunky I found him easy to pick up and easy to land the dash 😭. The third person pov also helps me in mind gaming.
Fella chuck's dash is stupid easy to hit, he's easy in the same way that spirit is easy, he's very strong either the 4th or 5th best killer, and you can kinda just shut your brain off and do well
People were also mad because her chapter was very hyped up, and was marketed completely differently to how it ended up being, also knight being the chapter before hand wasnt helping
I remember playing her from release and while she wasn’t my main (og cvnty killer plague) I did play her frequently even after her big rework and the great nerf of Boss and CEO. Pixel bush’s guide was DEFINITELY what pushed her to be one of my faves bc when you actually learned her techs and play-style, it was really rewarding and fun (aside from dcs). Now Miss Merchant doesn’t feel as rewarding post butchering since it’s a lot more unnecessary effort and frustration to get those tags with the changes. She really went from THE Skull Merchant💀to The Head Saleswoman 👩💼 and it’s just disheartening that all we have to look forward to is the rework since i’m pretty sure BHVR has said they’re not gonna touch her up until the rework (which is like minimum six months) Edit: BHVR really does not want the cvnty female killers to be baddies with the way they treated Cranium Entrepreneur (these nicknames are affectionate) and how they released Dogg and CEO (Houndmaster) riddled with bugs and issues
I really miss old skull merchant. I miss her macro focused playstyle and the actual eyes in the sky effect of her drones. Before skully i was a huge hag main with my biggest issue being always losing track of survivors and skull merchant was basically made for me i mean a trap based killer who can keep constant tabs on survivors? AND SHE'S CUNTY AF? Back when she had actual varied playstyles and addons that helped with it (totem, speed, undetectable, skill check ect ect) the perma 20% action speed or/and perma haste, THE USEFULNESS OF ALL HER ADDONS like og made for this? Bam perma exhaust, oh you have a full totem build? Bam perma oblivious gl breaking the totem. Oh you wanted to do gens? Bam difficult skillchecks. I even remember when you could stack her drones in certain parts of the map and have semi permanent undetectable making you incredibly hard to track witch was great against SWF. ALSO BASEKIT DISSOLUTION like her tracking was peak and im sad this version of her is reduced to "3 gen merchant" because thats how new/bad players used her, when she was so so SO much more than that 💔💔💔 Not to say she was perfect god no but they really did cook with her both times she just had a certain reputation.
I love playing and going against ms. Merchant, but I gotta go back to playing her more because her nerf gutted her, but hello I’m an artist main 😂 23:46
My problem with her before was her haste just from pressing her power mid-chase (since the drone would insta notice you cuz you're... y'know.. RUNNING lol), and the fact that survivors just had to enter a second drone's radius to get injured, they didn't need to get scanned, just walk into it and bam injured. Of course solo q was horrid against her cuz of the survs out of chase that wouldn't crouch (which meant free haste for her while chasing you), but like... this truly is a gut. She needs her second scan line back. But NOT her haste. She can have it if she's not in chase. And only her scan lines should be able to injure/hinder, not just the radius itself. The radius can give Killer Instinct, but not an injury or haste.
@@Markzyan247 What do you mean by the radius? Because aren’t the scan lines in the radius of the drone? Survivors already need to be scanned three times to get claw trapped and injured and then scanned again to be hindered.
@@Pinkyc0rn332 yes, the radius of the drone. survivors would get injured just from entering their radius (if they had the yellow circle on their portrait), not by having the line pass thru them. So all she had to do was summon a drone and they'd get injured, or they walk into a drone's radius while transitioning and they'd get injured instantly.
didn't know you were colombian! I'm living in Barranquilla at the moment and i really thought you were puerto rican from the accent 😭, im peruvian though so i guess im just not accustomed to the accent i guess
I am slightly confident in her rework because they are genuinely taking the time for it. They need to get Pixel involved in the rework though. Idk why they don’t involve the mains of the killers who they rework. Like how Lynxi said long before the Twins rework what not to do, they did it anyway, and it crashed and burned.
I've been playing DBD since Saw Chapter and have nearly 5000 hours in game as a survivor main. Your right in saying her release timing was terrible considering the current meta perks popular with killers. As a survivor i would notice the balance around certain killers breaking with only certain perks an add on combinations. in fact i made sure to never quit vs skull merchants to be able to continue my own understanding of her counter play, and games were impossible to win if skull merchant was trollying a 3 gen setup from the start of the match with overcharge survailance call of brine jolt and never hooking anyone only dealing damage to gens or survivors if they are on gen. however games i played vs someone who didnt know that meta or refused to be that unfair we're quite fun and her kill rates we're closer too 50% in the games they didnt use meta. and im talking about Day 1 skull merchant! meaning there wasnt anything wrong with her other than the community and the power of perks upon release. as more perks came out her kit slowly broke more and more and with her original kit giving both haste and hinder effects msot chases we're ending similar to a normal chase of being forced of your loop and hit if you stay to fight inside a drone area. the more the debuffed her the less "sweaty" i had to be to see those 50% kill rates tho. and i believe BHVR balances most killers around the idea if they can kill 2 survivors in a game. i look at it as the game trying to tame its gamers into a kinder, sportsman like meta. But with an announcement that thy are going to rework her yet again. i feel like they need to let skull merchants play the game and stop changing her.
to add onto this i personally think a solution to her drones is this, make 1 scan apply a claw trap that give the survivor hindered status and changes the obsession to the most recent claw trap, claw trapped survivors suffer from the hindered status until successfully hacking a drone (this would help make sense of why the hinder status is not as effective as clowns etc while giving her an ability with a clear path to counter play for survivors). The Skull merchant gains haste status when walking towards the obsession for a period of time after a claw trap is triggered and when close to the obsession can see hunters instinct to help track and force hit opportunities (this gives other survivors a chance to escape chase instead of being hit being someone else's applications of the haste status to the killer). i believe the obsession mechanic would allow them to run far more interesting build with new meta vision perks and require less less gen control to achieve higher kill rates. i also see how it would prevent tunneling and keep the merchant far more active in chases between setups of drones and it would benefit her more to have drones that are more spread out to get the most out of the haste status effects. you could even program drones 3 scan lines and remove the claw trap timer, to help ensure people understand the counterplay properly.
Its sad how bad she is. When I first heard about her all I knew was she was powerful and unfair to play against ( I was a survivor main at this time). So I did not buy her. I stopped playing DBD for years and then I decided to start playing it again when Chucky came out. I picked up Knight and though he was cool but felt bored playing him. I then saw Skull Mommie on sale and decided to give her a shot. Fell in love with the idea of her kit and realized how bad she was nerfed. It is a real shame. I love her Lore, outfits, and power idea. If she could be the powerful methodical trap killer I always thought she was instead of what she is now I would be so happy. I will continue to play her regardless of her nerfs. She's the killer I have always wanted to play as in DBD as a ruthless stalker/trap killer and although I may never get good with her or get the changes and power rework I want I will continue to play her as my main killer from now on.
And i dont hate playing against sm or freddy. The two i hate most are the knight and clown. But they both are what they are. Freddy and sm you dont know what they will be in six months.
Come on bud. We have to fugure out a real killer for you to main. SM gets changed too much. Go check out billy he is so much fun to learn. Skull merchant and freddy are the only two people should just stay away from.

I thought she was just fine until they took away her secind beam. After the first rework. I thought hag and twins were the two lowest pick rates
Would love see a guide on strategic drones positions like the one he showed in dead dawg saloon and the other one on the stairs but made by you ngl ♥
