What Would Happen If DBD Had a Perk Draft/Ban System?

Could it work? Would it improve the state of play?

What if perks were categorized (i.e. Gen Speed, Chase, Aura Reading) and restrictions on # of bannable/draftable perks were placed by category?

Do you think its worth testing on PTB?

    So the killer would disable a perk or category of perks? Not a fan of this idea if that's the case.

    Survivors would become too powerful. Unless the killer is running 2 or 3 out of 6 or so perks, they are going to get bullied.

    Predator game did something interesting with perks where it gave each perk a specific point (from 1 to 5 I guess, based on how strong they are) and a limit to how many points you can have when making a build.

    We simply shouldn’t be dictating what other players can or cannot use.

    Lets go with a perk ban system first we need some basic rule to make it fair

    1- each survivor may ban 1 perk of their choice for a total of 4 ban.

    2- the killer may ban up to 4 perk for a total of 4 ban.

    For now every thing is fine no one should have an issue with that rule set now lets jump on the 4 most like perk to be ban for both side.

    Survivor will mostly ban

    PGTW, Ruins, BBQ and NoeD

    Killer will mostly ban

    BT, IW, OoO and DH

    This is what i think will mostly get ban for both side with all the post i see and my experiance with the game. I think killer will probably ban perk that counter them example a gf will prob ban spine chill over BT same for survivor someone who hate spirit will prob ban stridor over BBQ. The system have some flaw because if everyone ban at the same time survivor can ban the same perk console dont have a lobby chat so they cant discuss the ban.

    You bring up an interesting point with solo queue's inability to discuss the bans. That's probably the greatest discrepancy--and just another item on the list of SwF v Solo Queue balancing issues.

    Its definitely important to consider the perks that would likely be banned, and what that means for one side.


    I can see, for example, that a Basement Camping Bubba might ban DS, BT, Unbreakable & Tenacity.


    It would be interesting to note, however, what the banned perks say about a the type of killer you'll be facing, and the perks they are running (or vice versa for the survivors).
