Dead by Daylight / Gameplay
Let me know what you guys think about these things:
The current gen regression meta was brought on by nerfing killer perks. The tunnel meta was a result of that as well, adding 10 seconds to a generator did absolutely nothing, and killers are forced to play to get kills instead of hooks. That's what the developers want, so that's the way people have to play, just look at the new adept system, its kills over hooks, so people can't really complain about this being the way it is, because this was kind of brought on to the game due to gens going to fast and hooks meaning nothing.
People DC'ing because they're going against a killer they don't like, or they think is too OP is very childish. They rationalize it by putting it in their name (DC IF NURSE) and expect people to not say anything negative about it. But if it was flipped and killers had (DC IF DECISIVE), they would get called "baby killer", and social media posts would be made endlessly about it. I get that's how DBD is, survivors making bullying posts and justifying all the perk buffs and killer nerfs due to them being content creators and that gives them the ability to make more "entertaining" content.
Games in general are extremely difficult to balance for everyone's liking. I play a baseball game, and people complain that there are too many "real world errors" that end up in the game, like someone missing a catch, or missing a throw, or the umpire making the wrong call, but I love that. That adds a new element to the game drawn from the real world. With that to compare DBD to, not every survivor is going to like a killer perk, or killer balance, or something tweaked that they liked. But the old saying "what's good for the goose, isn't always good for the gander" should apply here. What's good for a small group of people isn't always good for all the people that play this game.
One last thing, (me not being a killer main, even though it does sound like it in this post), meta gameplay is in every video game, no matter what it is. There is always something that people use that is just so boring to go against, or one character that everyone uses because he as some ability that is very easy to use. It can be said for both sides of this game, DH and OTR are very boring to go against, Eruption and NWTH are very boring to go against, but that's what's in the game. People abuse both, people meta both, so there isn't one side that is the innocent side here begging for complete balance. Playing the game the way YOU want to play it should be the meta.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
