Alright gamers, I've had a realization.

Instead of balancing for the top 1%. What If BHVR decided to balance around the top 30%?

Also, I wrote this after eating an entire loaf of bread. Was good #########.

What type of bread was it?

I don't think balancing for the top 30% will make much of a difference in how it's balanced.

They balance around semi experienced players who know base mechanics and can act on their own ( work efficiently) with excess incentives (outside it being efficient).

Not pros, or survivors would be nerfed into the ground by now, but not utter newbies

You know that kinds of players they balance around??? Kinda... dare I say... SUS.

I beg to disagree but I don't know why...

They nerfed DS because it was abused by those who knew how to use it, they nerfed ruin because even those who were great at the game don't hit great skill checks every game, they nerfed undying even though the top 1% could handle it.

These all point to them not just looking at pro players, but more looking at

Hmm... It's almost like they only care about new players....

They already don't balance for the top1%, unless you are a killer, In that case they balance for the top 0%.

Jokes aside, they already balance this game for casuals rather then competitive. Which I am not happy about. Sadly, they can't balance this game for 1% without drastic changes I don't see happening such as a entire rework of the game.

This is certainly a theory with credibility at this point.

Yeah, it's a casual game where people have a competitive mindset for the most part during the match. Really infuriating that the devs can't see that.

Not really, the DS nerf wasn't nerfed because of new players. Same with OoO, nurse, Freddy and hillbilly (introduction of overheating). All these are more focused around not being able to either a) abuse it or b) have something powerful for nothing. Hillbilly overheat isn't newbie friendly, neither is the nurse nerf (that's focused around the better players), the stridor nerf (again, forces people to get better).

Alright, IMA say it. Billy didn't need his base-kit nerfed. He needed his addons nerfed. Now most of his addons are useless.

They never really set out for the game to have a competitive scene in the way it does now.

Considering some of the decisions BHVR has made over the years. I was always under the impression they balance the game around the bottom 30%.

It doesn't have a competitive scene. I mean it does, but it doesn't. Like Minecraft, it does but doesn't. It does, but is either too small or not cared about by the majority of the fanbase.
