Proposition: survivor stealth is now stronger than looping.

vanhoya

Since the patch dropped i have been running a good number of perks that make me difficult to find: Distortion, off the record, kindred (to get a heads up on the killer incase they come in my direction after hook), lightweight, iron will (even after the patch), lucky break, etc etc.

I propose that survivors that are "hard to find" can now, on average, waste more killer time than looping. What are your thoughts and opinions?

Small note: I do run Lithe in case I end up in chase.

That's a hot take. Why do you think he is suggesting to stealth when the killer is not nearby? It's very valuable to stealth if you think the killer is nearby, every second it takes to find you is one second less you need to loop and use pallets. So even if you delay a chase by ~20 seconds that's 60 seconds cumulatively on gens if your team is spread out across 4 of them. Having the killer not find you entirely and then need to leave to go to another gen (and again begin a new search) is even more time wasted. Stealth is the most powerful play in DBD, assuming your teammates are doing gens and you are only doing it when the killer is looking for you.

yeah no, good killers know not to waste time on people not doing anything. gens don't move and hiding wastes your teams valuable time while often giving killers free hits actually shortening your chases by a lot

Valuable time? There's no time limit. The Killer though gets to walk around aimlessly doing nothing while we all laugh from the shadows. "Valuable time" lmfao

scrafice timers and gens to actually win the match, you and your random team mates aren't going to stay hour long matches hiding and push a match into a wining situation,

hide if you need to heal or be stealthy if you're the one on death hook but just hiding from the start is doing your team a whole disservice and further increases a lack of interaction in a multiplayer game

Who said winning. If all killers are going to do are return to hooks, camp, and tunnel. I'll gladly start to waste time over and over to have fun.

If all survivors SERIOUSLY play stealthily, killers unlikely to win game tbh.

Hey, hey, maybe keep that on the dl

Don't want Distortion to get TOO popular. As soon as a perk hits the top of that chart, it's a goner, as we know

Right as soon as killer mains start complaining about it BHVR will give them what they want and nerf it.

I seriously stealth doesn't become popular it's the one strategy I just can't stand as killer

at least you have 10 more seconds to find someone, it's great!

Yep. Because they have no idea what they are doing. But hey, "Doing a pretty good job so far"

A single locker (which is near most gens) counters all of that. Good luck chasing dust particles in the sky though! ✌️

You would be surprised how easy it is to catch people in lockers thanks to lethal. I feel like a damn voyeur

So... Basically you can see the future too?

That would be quite a feat since nobody even sees the present. At best we see the past.
