They should remove Diminishing Returns
Diminishing returns in dead by daylight should probably be removed. It limits how perks can be stacked together.
This reduces the variety in builds you see. Many combinations become less effective because of it. Creativity suffers and matches are not as fun for anyone playing. I think both survivors and killers end up with fewer options that actually work well. It seems kind of pointless to try stacking in most cases.
Some builds end up being ignored because of the penalties.
Comments
Diminishing returns already existed in DBD before the transparency, it just wasn't so emphasized nor was it as effective in reduction, but it was still very much in the game as can be seen by the way perks interacted with the actual number values.
With these changes it pushes Killers and Survivors to be more efficient with their choices instead of putting all their bread in one basket so to speak, and actually reduces (But not entirely removes) the effectiveness of niche playstyles on specific killers or survivors running insane builds that could take advantage of multiple stacks of an effect.
It's actually a good thing, as it allows the devs to release stronger standalone perks without worrying about them becoming OP when combined with others.
