I've played asyms for a long while - from the original Sonic.exe: The Disaster, to Dead by Daylight, and it's not like I'm some kid with a skill issue, but I must say, this guy is just completely unbalanced. In a normal scenario, in solo play, there is ZERO counterplay to a good Ennard's minion or grab spam. In essence:

There is literally ZERO point in playing him in a sneaky way. I originally thought this was the point? But I guess not, and that's just a superficial gimmick, because this guy is literally stronger than both of the other killers. MORE stamina than the Mimic, FASTER run speed than Springtrap, an ENDLESS supply of minions that home in on you and almost ALWAYS result in a free hit in chase - as in if they jump on you, which they do even from some distance in addition to the fact that they stalk you, it's ALWAYS a free hit for a competent Ennard in chase. Not only that, he can spam them THE WHOLE TIME. On their own, they disappear after 40 seconds, and he can spawn them every 15 seconds. Do you not see the problem here? So he can place them on a loop, force you to go into their direction, hit you while you're swarmed, then GRAB you, get another free hit.

Is this skill?

I am personally a Springtrap main, but every time I play as Ennard this shit is so easy it's genuinely boring. Spawn minion, hit, grab, hit, disguise, and get a hit because the hitbox is also pretty big partially because you can hit someone even at the end of the animation akin to DBD's M1 hits.

Now the Grab is another story. EVERY 12 SECONDS? You have barely any time to react to this shit, and it also seems to have a bigger hit box than Springtrap throwing his axe, with Springtrap's axe throw being very telegraphed by the animation, and being a projectile. AND you can't use the Axe throw again untill you pick up the axe, which also takes time. Literally I can loop and juke Ennard, sweat my ass off, get some distance, and he just gets a free hit for pressing a button and pointing in my general direction? EVERY 12 SECONDS? WHILE ALSO SPAMMING MINIONS?

Played against a very nice pro Ennard. Every time I am in an LMS I can either win or learn something from my mistakes after losing. Of course, i lost to the minions slowing me down on one side, and him getting me with a grab from a long shot from the other side. When I asked him, genuinely, what was I supposed to do, he answered with "Nothing".

I don't want to sound like an asshole, but I know mostly kids play this game, and of course most of them don't really care or know about balance and will shit on me for pointing all of this out, but it's literally been proven so many times that the balancing​ in this game is FAR from perfect - obviously there is much room for improvement.

This is my honest opinion: Ennard should be nerfed.

EDIT: On top of all of this I'd want to add that Wire Eyes DAMAGE you when you shake them off, blind you, and slow you down for 6 seconds. 💀
