What if survivors die with 2 hooks only
What if survivors die with 2 hooks only instead of 3 that is right now but will keep the timer to 2 minutes.

That's going slightly overboard considering how easy it is to get farmed by a teammate, it would also make a snowball much easier to achieve.
Imo I don't think this is the buff that killers need.
It isn't the buff killers need. Actually, it has more to do with the overall game's mechanics that need readjusting. Killers aren't hindered because they are weak, they are actually hindered because the game's mechanics make them weak. Like I wonder how strong Freddy would be if games weren't able to be ended in less than 4 minutes due to how fast the gen can be completed which is a game mechanic.
Dont think thats necessary.
Just remove SWF from ranked and increase gentime a lil bit. Oh and fix the insane loops.
Then the game is in a real good state
Over-powered.
then i leave DBD forever since you would just tunnel me if i got unhooked for the kill
The killer side of me says Hell yeah!
XD
Funny, but this is what I am always blamed for, even though you die in 3 hooks atm
Jokes on you, I play solo 80% of the time and die on 1 hook. Take that!
If you remove SWF then you aren’t gonna have a playerbase left. The game will die. You aren’t even going to have anybody in your lobbies at that point. Removing SWF would be the dumbest decision the devs could make and they’ll never do it because it’ll kill the game
From ranked, not from the whole game.
Either balance the game around SWF or remove it from ranked and make it casual-only. There are no other options
So only SWF in KYF? Not gonna work. It’s just that simple that the game will die. Over half the playbase will be gone. The devs are smart enough not to remove it because they know it’ll destroy the game. Only killer mains will be happy and it and all the survivors will disappear and you’ll be left with about only 20% of the playbase they had. It’s not a smart decision.
Survivor me: did that idiot unhook me in front of the killer?!?
This would be way to overpowerd, killers wil start hard patroling hooked survivors and kill them fast and easily, this would be a really bad addition to the game and would put it in a even worse and unbalanced place. atm the game is at a good state, atleest for dbd's standards
I'd rather get the old hook timer time, it was more tense and survivors had to make quick choices.
Instead of now where they can finish a gen peacefully while the hooked one just wait for the next hook stage.
And often be farmed at the end of it.
After all devs justified this change with : "We have made several changes to make the hook an happier place"
LUL
Why stop at two hooks? why not just one?
Honestly, with how long it takes to catch a single Survivor, sometimes it feels like it should just take one hook. However, it'd seriously ######### over new players.
Then they'll probably make it so Survivors take 3 hits to go down instead of 2.
Then we could buff moris to have an effect like Myers tombstone.. Down a survivor in bloodlust get an insta mori
LUL indeed, sometimes you really wonder whether you purchased an horror game or some kids game
Reworking the maps i.e. fixing horrible window loops, closely spawned pallet towns etc would fix most of the balance issues in my opinion. Oh, and nerf DS to hell. That is all the buffs the killer needs. Rest of the mechanics is fine as it is and nerfing them could create huge imbalance between high and low ranks making the game a horrible experience for new/casual survivors.
killers would basically just have a built in ebony mori if this happened
I would rather have a single green mori built into the killers kit. A single chance to kill 1 and only 1 survivor after they have been hooked. It should be something to help eliminate the greatest threat to ease pressure off the killer but to have all die on the 2ed hook is a little too much. An ebony mori for example that does just that is usually always a 4k. You also have to remember lower ranks would just crumble to this kinda power.
i would like dismeber part of survivor, like legs or arms.
It is basically giving killers an ebony mori for all the matches.
It is the definition of being overpowered.
Memento Mori don't require you to carry a Survivor to the hook a second time, which eats up precious time.
Yeah but it takes 10 seconds.
Game is unbalanced but not that much imo. + there are killers like nurse and hillbilly who get 4k consistently.
The game is unfun because of how short it is. This suggestion will make the game even shorter which is a mistake. Also it doesn't require the killer to put something into the game. It is a plain buff with no drawbacks.
The game is really hard if you try to play fairly. Hexy for example does anything to win the game and gets 4k with the weakest killers like Freddy, Wraith, Pig almost in every game.
We need more consistent, longer games in order to balance this game and make it more fun.
The game is short because Survivors don't have enough objectives that are worth doing, resulting in gen rush. A band-aid fix would be to make it so it takes less time to kill them.
The problem is both sides have people who cry about everything not just one side and this post is a perfect example of it.
No it won't the killers that camp will camp regardless and nothing will change that. The jerks that do it to be toxic will still do it.
They do that anyways since if someones unhooked they tunnel them since it's a stage 2 hook. They know someone will try for an unsafe hook and it's an instant sac or they get another person on hook and that unhooked person is fresh meat.
Lastly all it'll do is increase unsafe hook farming with WGLF since the killer will just wait the 10 seconds then go for the down. The same as they do now, they simply chase the survivor and down them.
@powerbats so what you suggest in order to make the game more balance ?
More like Survivors playing smarter instead of acting like they have infinite lives. Your suggestion would give everyone carpal tunnel.
As much as I would love this (I'm a killer main btw), I think it is too much of a buff. 3 hooks, yes, can make it frustrating for killers, especially if you don't tunnel or camp, but it also promotes a more competitive game. You can see in games that if someone, even if it's only one person, is 2 hooked rather than 3 hooked, the game is extremely easier for killer. The best way to further buff killers without throwing away balance is to give survivors other objectives, which is what the devs are looking into.
Billy's that used the tinkerer exploit were for awhile the most popular at rank 1 over even nurse.
I've made several suggestions in many different threads, some my own some not. Some are solid while others just won't work out. I've suggested objectives like gas or parts before to spice things up for both sides.
Gotta love dbd forums.
The game is short because Survivors lack objectives, resulting in gen rush. A simple band-aid fix would be to shorten the Killer's objectives as well, and then put them back if and when Survivors have more objectives.
So what your saying is.. nerf survivors?
