Hey Devs... Your Survivor bias is showing.
Doctor update: "He's been a polarizing figure since his release, and we felt it was time to revisit his kit with an eye to making it less frustrating to play against him."
"It's the lack of action needed on the part of The Doctor to find nearby Survivors that makes it feel annoying to play against."
"One last thing we've addressed is the frustration of using Snap Out Of It to drop from Madness level III to Madness level II."
Ruin "change":
"We took a close look at the perk to identify what makes it so frustrating to play against."
-Why not look at WHY EVERYONE USES IT INSTEAD?!?!
None of these changes take into consideration how frustrating it is to play as the Doctor or in the case of Ruin, how frustrating it can be to play as killer.
I don't use Ruin or the Doctor so I don't care about these changes.
I do care about how little consideration was given to killers in comparison to survivors.
PS: Where are the audio fixes?
Comments
At this point' killer's aern't killers.
Killer's are going to become glorified babysitters made to accommodate to survivor whims and screams.
Someone earlier today commented on a dev saying something along the lines of "We want to bring killer ratio's to 75% escape."
I can confirm, as a rank 1 trapper.
Dude's basically on life support and with ruin being unplugged, his kill rate it going to tank harder than hard.
Hag will probably soon follow.
BUT WHO CARES :D
They aren't survivors so ######### em.
I wanted to bud some skins for killers, I wanted to have at least one for every killer, but now I doubt I will buy it. Now I dont know even if I want to continue to play. All we now get is fast game with 4 teabegging survivors in gate.
funny thing is that they even said they are happy with the new version. They just murdered the game and still didn't realize that.
Both Spirit and Wraith's super lunge will be back according to the upcoming ptb patch notes
When talking about that bug, i almost never see Wraith mentioned, only that Spirit suffers.
Whether they actually know that Wraith also has it or not, i come out to bring attention to Wraith also having it.
That's another HUGE problem is they don't want to do proper balancing.
They have said time after time they intend to balance the game by releaseing new perks and killers instead of actually fixing the core problems. With that dumb philospohy of balance you can only fix 4 things and pick which element of the game you want to fix with its corresponding killer.
Why are so many people so hard on the devs?
Their job isn't easy. Disagree?
Fine, go and code yourself a better game and shut the ######### up.
Nothing is perfect, and they are constantly working on this game for our enjoyment.
Stop being petulant brats.
Pissed off by the game? TAKE A BREAK!
No one is forcing you to play this game, and no one is forcing you to get so worked up.
DS: don’t tunnel or just slug
BT: Just don”t tunnel lol
Dead Hard: Not even that annoying. Just wait for it. You must be rank 21 with these arguments.
The power role should maintain power
You didn't address the best use for Dead Hard and you're bashing this guy.
10/10
Feel free to explain how to counter Dead Hard "for distance."
I'll even be so kind as to explain it, since you may not know, as you did not address it...
You use Dead Hard to gain the little bit of distance needed to reach the pallet/vault that you then use to extend the chase.
Answer: you DON’T counter it in that instance, genius. Unless you’re Huntress or Long Lunge Freddy. It’s a perk for a reason. Distance is important. But
Exactly, it's uncounterable.
Freddy's lunge is also the same as every other killer, although lunging is completely irrelevant in that scenario, anyways...but you knew that ;3
Not uncounterable since there’s this thing called “keep chasing them”.
If you ask me survivor is more frustrating that killer, and i've played 1000 hours of both, but thats more because i feel powerless if my teammates aren't helpful, or the killer chooses to target me.
Well, I can see that this hole is never ending :(
Why you talking ######### bruh? I'm just referencing to what usually gets said when asked by killer's what they find annoying it's only fair they'd find other things annoying you know. But yea that's cool survivor main.
Thats the point of ruin,just get good at hitting skillchecks. Same as "just don't tunnel" it forces you to become a better player. Or you can find the totem which is time wasting,same as chasing an uninjured instead of injured survivor
Imagine being a dev in this game
Reworking DS
Nerfing MoM
Making fast vaults harder
Nerfing Balanced Landing
Giving the biggest killer buff in the history of the game with the Freddy rework
Releasing 4 killers that are objectively better than half the killers in the game
Nerfing instaheals
Releasing a reworked and a new map that are more favorable to killer than the majority of maps in the game
All in the span of a year
Just to come here and see one frustrated boi saying they're survivor biased with a bunch of other frustrated bois coming and agreeing
Maybe game develloping isn't my dream job after all. Being a ######### neurosurgeon must be more gratifying and less frustrating and infuriating
One of the best things tho is whenever a killer bug or something hurts the killer they respond with “Soon”
Survivors get the opposite and they get fixed instantly.
Oh well guess my Withered Blight Doc was wasted?
ill have to try him out after the nerf
Well thank goodness that's in the PTB now.
Now he just needs to be burnt out of his cloak again.
The way it said "We changed Ruin to help newer players, newer players working with veterans might hurt more than they help" means two things to me. Firstly. The fact newbies and veterans would play together just shows how cooked matchmaking is, and is it just me or does that read like a patch note for a regular PvE game? Something along the lines of "We nerfed Hex: Ruin because we felt the difficulty of the skill checks are too harsh for new players, and to encourage teamwork on the gens" not even taking into account that 80% of players use it because gen times are borked.
Imagine instead of sewing together a wound, you slapped a few bandaids on it, then when those got dirty or fell off, you just kept adding more and more until the wound is infected and nothing except a major operation would fix it. That's what they did.
Imagine spending a whole year just fixing the crap you made cause you can't listen to feedback.
Oh wait... It took them 2 years to fix Freddy.
And no one asked for nurse basekit nerf, only her add-ons....
Oh, and MOM was broken beyond believe, and they released it anyway despite the massive negative feedback it got when it got leaked...
Can't wait 2022 for them to finally realize Legion needs a rework, and DS still broken, DH,BT are used by every single survivor past rank 10.
By the time they realize killer player experience is also important we will all be playing dice with our grandchildren.
So before the changes they were catering to killers by your logic? Lol
I so desperatly want to play Nurse again but I don't hate myself enough to go through the torture.
I did a ruin meme build the other night on Trapper just for fun by encasing my ruin in traps as a way to say 'MY RUIN'. A couple rank 1 teams just powered through the gens like usual but most teams I faced were so persistent on trying to cleanse ruin that I ended up w 4k's quite easily. OMG the salt though lol I wish I had popcorn on hand!! A ton of msg's about 'wait til ruins nerfed' yada yada yada.... I even had a few dc's because the big brains kept stepping in same traps I encapsulated around the shack where my ruin was, then they msg'd me saying the ol' 'you're trash', "uninstall" "camper!" blah blah blah lmao As if I was suppose to ignore them tripping my traps every time I tried to leave the area. tbh the entitlement I see in this game.... smh
Keep in mind, I mainly play survivor and I am not looking forward to lobby wait times from the amount of killers that will most likely stop playing. Sure some big name twitch/YT'rs are saying new ruin is great but they're showing it used on killers who have great map pressure like Billy.
