If the devs read this FIND SOME RANK 1 SURVIVORS LET THEM PLAY SWF on coms and go against them to see how unbalanced your game is besides nurse and spirit.
This wouldn't prove a balance issue. This would also be pointless. They're aware balance issues exist. The problem is trying to balance the game around massive skill gaps. I know everyone is obsessed with what happens at rank one. But the player base is mostly not rank one. Balancing around a small minority is not a good idea.
Hopefully after this turns into a repeat of the Hag game from a few years back we'll finally get some needed changes. It wasn't until that game that they finally realized how bad flashlights were back then.
Tbh though, after how bad that game went back then I couldn't see this ever happening again.
I wish they could see some of my rank 1 solo games, i've had rank 13-18 survivors who were better at the game. Now tell me how you plan on balancing that?
Forcing the devs to face rank 1s wouldn't actually prove anything. You could have the devs face a rank 1 Legion, and it would just make Legion look OP..

I actually just made a post about this exact thing. Everyone wants the game balanced around the small percentage that are toxic try hard. And not how the normal games play out

That's exactly why killers like Spirit, Nurse, Huntress exist in the game, because they're often bad at low ranks and can be used to their potential at high ranks. Killers that allow for good play and reward the skill of the person playing it. Balance of those killers aside it isn't bad for the game. The problem is when the devs sit back and decide to balance this game by looking at a piece of paper and seeing that x killers kill rate is too high, so they bring the killers that use those things down to the level of basic m1 killers. I don't really agree with that but I also don't play the game anymore so I don't particularly care.
I'm sure it's not an easy thing to try and balance, of course. It's kind of like watching one of the top killers/survivors and listening to what they say and they think when often times they're simply in another world even from your average red rank killer/survivor. So there's even a gap at red ranks themselves.
In my opinion, some things should change depending on which rank you are on. For example, and this is just an idea; hex skill checks and great skill checks should be removed if you are a red rank. Also some add ons and items should become unavailable if you are a red rank survivor and a red rank killer.
Maybe not the best ideas in the world, but I think it's a good idea that some game mechanics change depending on rank.

I hope you know that Peanits mains Huntress in red ranks.
Lies and scandal. That would suggest that the people who work in the videogame industry...play video games. We all know they dont even know how to hold the controller!!!

at least allow us to know who is in SWF and who is not that way killer would know to bring a mori to balance.
This would solve nothing. People would just go back to lobby dodging until they found their friends. You wont get as many 4mans but you would stil have them playing together. I dont get why SWF has such a bad name. The majority of SWFs I've seen are way overly altruistic and will dive the hook to steamroll their death. I've very rarely seen any that act like untra elite swat teams. And even then they typically take a couple of hits to try to stop a hook which seems like a fair trade imho

Sure lets invite people who have been banned in Dbd ... to play some games of Dbd.
200IQ
Then let’s have 4 Devs play survivor against Borgia’s or Piper’s Billy to prove the opposite point!
Isn't Ochido still playing DBD? They banned him on PC and console from what I've heard but he's still making Youtube montages...
Those are fan sent clips. He has a Discord, and accepts clips via his email.
Now THIS I would like to see.

Tbh the game pretty balanced, what turns the tides are items and such for example mori and insta heals.
I like them i to the fame but I d like them to have overall less influence for both sides obv
I wish they could see some of my rank 1 solo games, i've had rank 13-18 survivors who were better at the game. Now tell me how you plan on balancing that?
When the hell was monto banned lol
Well it only takes one good survivor to turn the tide of the match, be interesting either way.

I didn’t say he was banned lol. I just know he is good.
Fantasy team. Not an actual team silly.
