If you suck at killer, you need only resort to tunneling, camping and slugging to maintain a very high kill rate. If you suck at survivor…you're dead almost every match and so are all your teammates, unless you get very lucky. If you're good at killer…enjoy going on lengthy win streaks unless you purposefully throw. If you're good at survivor, enjoy being forced to play for hatch against medio19 comments 281 views last activity

I vaguely remember the devs talking about mowing the stupid cornstalks so that you aren’t blinded as killer when you enter the cornfields on the coldwind farm maps. Have they just given up on that? Or is something in the works?7 comments 101 views last activity

Im sure Im not the only one who has thought that Kyle and Samantha may be contributing factors when talking about changing (or maybe even reworking) Nemesis. The idea of an AI roaming around is pretty neat all things considered, its just I dont think it should be considered such a big part of a killers power due to how inconsistent they are. So what if instead of being attached to Nemesis' powe1 comments 42 views last activity

This is mainly those I'm seeing a lot of and I've still not seen about half of the cast so potentially there might be more. There is three I'm really struggling with and have not had a single escape with. Granted partly this is also just from the others doing literally nothing when I am being chased. Myers (Shape) is one I genuinely cannot understand how to deal with. I know he relies on stalki5 comments 102 views last activity

What's everyone's thoughts on a rework of the luck offerings? since they have removed the self unhook basekit the only times I see it burnt it ends up sandbagging the match because someone goes "oh I can unhook myself lemme do that' and goes to second stage. Best idea I could think of with keeping spirt of how it works the same, I would just make it so hook progress is not lost to get rid3 comments 71 views last activity

As time goes on and more killers get added and more tier lists are being made, their is one constant and that Trapper is always at the bottom of the hierarchy. Its no secret to those with functioning eyes and working thumbs that Trapper is god awful to play and even unplayable on certain maps, if you spawn on a map like Crotus Pren you basically just gotta accept that you have to shed three pound33 comments 1,054 views last activity

I just realized that this is what I found so off-putting about her model in-game. You can easily see this when cycling between her and the other survivors. In DnD elves are already a bit shorter than humans and are supposed to be more slender, but she has all of the same proportions as a human male in the game. A similar thing is done with Legion, though that's less of an issue since there is suc38 comments 2,353 views last activity

Sorry for the long title, but it’s basically the thesis of my statement: Balancing the game solely around S-tier killers and SWF bully squads ruins the experience for anyone trying to play a basic M1 killer or solo-queue survivors. The top-tier killers Behavior keeps releasing are so oppressive in their base kits—map traversal, passive debuffs, projectiles, stealth—combined with meta perks, that34 comments 542 views last activity

One shot and better Pig dash thanks to speed devs are you okay? How it's still allowed? Nerf his speed, duration and make harder to tier up since it takes 5-10s to be unstopable, or buff but he should hit twice then. Really has a strong anti-loop we can only escape against baby Shape players, not a single time I escaped against decent ones and to be decent max 5 matches are enough because it's br4 comments 91 views last activity

To note. I don't DC. No matter how bad the game gets I finish it as long as it's not a cheater. Sometimes I don't even abandon if the option is available. I DC'ed once because of a minor irl emergency. I come back, press play, and it boots me from queue with a 5 minute penalty. Did they crank up the penalty to the point a single DC now penalizes an hour?3 comments 81 views last activity

I understand that various adjustments are being made based on the repair speed of generators on the North American server. However, on the Asian server, where repairing generators is given top priority above all else, it has already become a nightmare. Could you consider adjusting the game balance with the current situation of the Asian server in mind?20 comments 301 views last activity

I just read the description for the 1st time since the perk was reworked after this match... If I'm using Kindred and hooked, and the Killer is near, does it essentially give the Killer aura reading on all my teammates assuming they all are looking where I'm hooked?3 comments 362 views last activity

So it finally dawned on me why I dislike matchmaking so much...because it forces you to have a main killer basically just telling "Hey so you did well these matches has Oni so keep going...what's that? Oh your wanting to play Deathslinger? Mmm nah we're going to act like your still playing Oni so enjoy bad matchmaking." Basically if you're not playing one killer aka refusing to play the others wh10 comments 141 views last activity

I think the blindness status effect should be reworked as it only punishes solo q. SWF versing a blindness build : "I'm on hook near shack". I would change so it does not effect hooked survivors.2 comments 111 views last activity

It says in the Krasue's power description that she is slightly faster while in head form but it feels slower to me. Trying to catch up to survivors around loops feels painful in head form. I know she has a dash when she attacks which is definitely faster. Could this be what they are referring to? Her leap over the pallets is also painfully slow as well. I mean I get it, it can't be as fast as the3 comments 71 views last activity

topic. Are the survivors really just outplaying you or are there just 42 pallets for the survivor to run to and pre drop along with Jungle Gyms, Houses, shack, vault and exhaustion perks. Unless your playing a top tier killer with meta perks your going to lose. There is no fun to be had for half a decade old M1 killers with no map traversal, projectiles, built in survivor debuffs, or meta9 comments 151 views last activity

There is a lot of complaining about the New AFK Crows, but it doesn't seem like anyone knows how they actually work, so here are my notes that I've collected so far. This information is good for the sake of discussion, so people can argue if some of the rules feel unfair: Rules for AFK Crows... 1) 10 second grace period for not doing objectives 2) At 100% AFK point speed = 1/2/3 cr89 comments 7,327 views last activity

2025 was honestly a rough year for Dead by Daylight, and a lot of players felt pretty frustrated. So the big question is: what’s going to change this year? Right now, it feels like there’s been a heavy focus on monetization — skins, the Rift, collaborations, and DLC — while core issues are still being left behind. Things like MMR, ping, ongoing bugs, and clearly problematic killers, perks, and3 comments 261 views last activity

Because I refuse to believe that they occur in any more than 1% of solo queue matches. Not only are they extremely easy to avoid as killer the vast majority of the time, but there are multiple perks (that don't even have that low of a pick rate) that make them even easier to avoid. As well as this, survivor perks that could be used to help with this challenge have all had some pretty serious ne7 comments 151 views last activity

the game is heavily killer sided according to science and objectivity. why then the killers crying so much about it being survivor sided? let me tell you... their MMR is inflated first thing which happens is a new killer curb stomps their opponent when playing at their true MMR because the game balance holds killers hands. then their MMR skyrockets and who do they go against? primarily cheat131 comments 5,385 views last activity

Prologue: A Buggy Prelude On the 28th of November 2024, we recieved the Doomed Course chapter. The name is quite fitting, as this chapter was seemingly doomed from the start. The new killer, The Houndmaster, quickly joined The Twins and The Knight as the candidate for the buggiest killer ever .

I play both sides with about a 60/40 ratio (survivor/killer) and if I were to play 10 surv games, at least 7 of them will be either a ghoul, blight, spirit, or nurse with a decent chance of maybe encountering a dracula, krasue, vecna, or billy. The first four that were mentioned are often regarded as the top killers, sometimes regarded as the top 5 amongst the community. It doesn't take a Harva20 comments 452 views last activity

survivor lately has been no fun at all. You get tunnelers right off the rip at 5 gens - you get slugged for the 4k (still in 2025) killers complained about the anti tunnel update and now the tunneling is even worse now. Myers can tier up in no time- leading to instant downs and giving us nothing to work with. Survivors aren’t having fun and many are leaving the game.

I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I’ve started to think that many killers are heavily carried by aura perks. Often they run multiple aura perks in a row, which means they don’t really need much skill or game sense and can instead rely almost entirely on wallhacks through auras. What if killers had status effects, similar to survivors with Exhaustion, Oblivious, Mangled, or Hemorrhage? For21 comments 341 views last activity

Will there be an opportunity to purchase The Hillbilly's "The Williwaw Touch" skin? It's a skin from The Winter Chill collection, The Trapper and Dwight skins are gone now, they are from Winter Chill collection too, also there is a Clodette's skin in it. The Trapper's and Dwight s skin were available as a part of "From the pass" weekly choice, so should be Hillbilly and Clodette's skins P.S. why4 comments 414 views last activity

Simple as the title. This game has a lot more average solo q survivors as per the stats than it does 4 man comps. Therefore I think killer needs a nerf. Specifically the higher tier killers such as twins, dracula, krasue, blight, NOT nurse, and ghoul. Does it mean that comp swfs will 3-4 escape almost every game? Yes, because their only realistic threats are most of the time just these guys. Th37 comments 625 views last activity

As the title suggests, how would the game balance have turned out if perks scaled based on team size for survivor, or relative strength as a killer? So let's say that you take a perk like Sprint Burst, and subtract 5% Haste for each survivor in your party (if the party size is 3 or more) and a 10% increase if you play solo, or make Pain Res only regress a gen by 15% for a killer like Blight or12 comments 161 views last activity

Either way you swing a bat 1x time you strike out three times at home plate. Your done. You are finished. You can not appease the survivor or the killer.
