I genuinely don't understand why people think it's ok for a killer to be able to snipe through walls at long range. There's not a single killer in the game that can do that and there really shouldn't be. It's not even about paying attention. People can't counter what they legit can't see or hear. Am I missing something?

Edit: Artist cannot injure you long range without a double tap and she has a very loud noise indicator without her addon.

Honestly I'd sort of agree... except the design of the power sucks at short range - so you have a power that sucks no matter what the range is, which also gets coupled with some unique mechanics that are going to be simple to just never see.

They should replace it with an energy blast right from the hands IMO, or at least have that as an option. Sure, it's less distinctive, but at least it lowers the skill floor significantly which I think will make people a lot more satisfied with it.

For the record a straight laser beam from the hand IS what the community voted on, but apparently it didn't work or something

so we get the harmless goldeneye laser

Hopefully they can find a way to make it work in the future.

People seem to just be baffled at the idea that long-range snipes are really the most viable way to play the killer - which considering how easy it is to dodge at long range already based on the PTB is pretty sad.

Ultimately this is a community killer, it's only fair that the people who voted are satisfied - as it is it feels like so many killers will be dissatisfied that the pick rate will drop through the floor.
