How easy, isn't it?
Instead of actually practice and learn the game, just typing on forum to nerf everything you are not good at dealing with.
Hex ruin's great skill check is too difficult to hit? Go to the forum and yell to nerf it! While good survivor can repair an entire generator without blowing it up.
Not good at looping Hillbilly like some really good survivors? Go to the forum & yell to nerf it! While the good survivors could loop Hillbillly at double window area literally for 3 gens.
Trying to juke PH around a pallet like you do to all other killers, and it didn't work out? Go to the forum & yell to nerf it! While there are so many things they can do, such as pre-dropping pallet; marathon around map; and the golden strategy ---- split up and rush the generator. etc.
The environment is getting more and more toxic. There are increasing number of survivors whose first reaction when they having difficulty to deal with a killer, is not thinking about "how can I counter it? Which method should I use to kite this killer?", but "Going to the forum and complain about this, and when we get enough people, the dev would nerf that killer."
If nurse was released during today's DBD environment, she wouldn't have as nearly as her strength as today. She would be nerfed to a point even a one month new player can easily juke her.
And, sadly, there are increasing amount of players whom are new and not good at the game, also too lazy to practice and learn about the game. Because they have an easier way to get things fixed ---- typing on forum &, asking for nerf is waaaaaaaay easier than learning the game.
Additionally, roughly for every killer player, there are 4 survivor players. (Most people played both, but they would focus on one side.) So, whenever there is an argument about whether to nerf a killer, survivor player's sounds are always louder. Because there are simply more survivors than killers in this game. If devs keep buffing & nerfing based on random people's voices, the game would only bend more and more towards survivors, to a point it's not even fair for killer players.
In fact, this already starts happening. A rank 14-16 killer is frequently facing rank 9-10 survivors, sometimes red rank survivors. But the reverse never happens. Rank 14-16 survivors do not face purple or red rank killers.
Why? Because the game is very difficult for higher rank killers. When survivors getting good and know how to react to each killer and different situation, the game is hard on killer player. To a point even there are 4 times more survivors needed in one game, survivors still need to wait to quene with a killer. So lower level killers were forced to queue up with higher rank survivors to avoid waiting too long.
Less and less lower rank survivors are actually thinking about becoming better at the game, but to go for the lazy route. Complain and nerf everything they have difficulty to deal with. If this trend continues like this, DBD would eventually reach Identity V's position. Where massive amount of higher rank killers becomes survivor players, and the entire game completely fall out of balance.
