1.NoED is fine.
2.Camping is a strategy that defeats itself. It does not need a punishment.
3.Nerfing every Killer is not how you balance the game. (I'm looking at you, lazy complainers!)
4.Demogorgon in a speedo when?
I just came to respond to these, as I like them.
1: I want it back xD
2: She is a cool character, some skills are atrocious to me though haha
3: I have faced some awfully scary Leatherfaces in higher ranks on console, it's always a surprise when they don't camp but use hook placement strategically for their sacrifices, more like make it easy to patrol and keep an eye on the survivor, its interesting.
4: this I don't agree with because, I think they have a lot they could do, but balance isn't needed for a game to be fun tbh, or it just gets boring and fun gets limited
I’ve also faced a few really good LF players, they are scary. I wouldn’t mind old MoM coming back.
We don’t really need shirtless Myers
Exhaustion add-ons are fine.
There is a double standard where it's expected that survivors can essentially load up on whatever they want, but killers can't do the same. The game is a lot more balanced than it appears, but many killers feel shamed out of running strong builds.
Postgame chat is really unhealthy for many people. It's a 4 vs 1 bully mentality at times, especially when it's a SWF.
Shirtless LF instead 😏
I don’t fully agree with point #3 but I agree with the rest.
Hag is better than Billy.
Flashlights don’t kill hags power.
Old Freddy was actually really good.
There is nothing wrong with tunneling.
Iron Will is the best survivor perk.
Ruin isn’t needed to win.
NOED is fine.
Keys are fine.
Meg is gorgeous and the hottest ever. Oh wait... hahah my bad, everyone already knows that, therefore it’s not unpopular.
I guess my unpopular opinions are,
1 - I hate Dwight. Never understood why the community liked him, never cared about getting any of his cosmetics or even leveling him up, got him to level 40 and haven't touched him since.
2 - This game is balanced. Or at least it has reached the best state of balance it can reach atm.
3 - MoM was over-nerfed. It's literally worthless now and is basically unusable and you never see it anymore.
4 - NoED was at its best when only the 3rd tier gave survivors the exposed effect. It feels like half of times my team gets hit with NoED its the 1st tier. Also the extra speed boost is unneeded, it feels overkill some times.
5 - Shirtless Myers is overrated. Like why only shirtless Myers? Why not get shirtless versions of every killer and survivor (those that aren't minors that is *cough cough* Legion *cough cough*)
BTW, random tangent, I know I'm spelling "cough" right, but it still feels like I'm speeling ti wrong. Is that weird? Idk anymore. 😐️
ds doesnt need to be a skillcheck anymore don't @ me!!!!
Yeah I don’t understand shirtless Myers - why have that when you could literally have Boyfriend Myers complete with dork glasses and white bedsheet.
We need shirtless LF.😏
A terrifying sight to behold!
Old Freddy was a good killer and fun to play (as). New Freddy is very fun too.
1 Huntress would be fine with 115% speed, it could be at least tested on a PTB.
2 Myers is overrated.
3 Pig is underrated.
4 Family Residence isn't that bad of a map for killers.
5 I feel Ruin is a little bit overrated, but there are almost no effective stall perks to replace it.
6 Trapper is the worst killer in the game.
7 Spine Chill is overrated.
I love you now because of opinion 3 <3
Don't leave Clown out of the fun 😥
And on topic.
Camping is a part of the game and shouldnt be punished.
finally someone said it about meg's face
1. Shirtless Dwight with saggy man breasts when?
2. Ghostface = dc.
3.Campers are just bad at the game.
4. NOED isnt op.
5. New end game has ruined farming.
6. Need more events, the more the merrier.
Oh boy, here we go...
I) DBD SHOULD BECOME FREE TO PLAY: It already has a F2P level of grind, F2P level of bugs, a cosmetic store featuring inflated prices and a predatory premium currency, as well as a lot of gameplay related DLC you can pay not to grind for, not to mention the soon to arrive battle pass. It has all the bad aspects of F2P, but not the good part (being, you know, free).
II) LICENSE BAD, ORIGINAL GOOD: Licensed characters can't be acquired by Iridescent Shards, have limitations regarding their cosmetics and attract a casual crowd that is likely to complain about "Killers being OP". Also, for some reason, no licensed Killer has ever been high tier, which contributes to my pessimism.
III) NURSE IS BALANCED AND HEALTHY FOR THE GAME: Nurse is strong during chases, but bad against stealth. Since most Nurse builds use 3 anti-stealth perks, it's not reasonable for Survivors to beat her if they are using an anti-chase loadout instead of multiple stealth perks. Survivors complain about Nurse because they want to beat her at chases. Instead, they should first change the meta to stealth/immersion, then ask devs for stealth buffs in case that is not enough. Second point: Nurse and SWF are hand-to-hand degenerates; you can't nerf one without touching the other.
IV) SPIRIT HAS NO WEAKNESS, AND THAT NEEDS TO CHANGE: While Nurse has a superior chase power, Spirit is strong against both stealth and chases. Spirit has a smaller terror radius and can approach while invisible while at the same time being virtually "unloopable". The so called "mind games" are not about outsmarting the opponent, but rather a guessing game for the Survivor.
V) SURVIVOR COSMETICS ARE TERRIBLE (Not sure if unpopular): I have never seen a tackier, gaudier, kitschier cosmetic selection in my life. Subjective? Yes, but don't forget that grandma looking cool while wearing kindergarten clothes is also an opinion. Yikes. Also, give us a handsome non-licensed male Survivor.
VI) NOED IS A FAIR PERK THAT HELPS WEAKER KILLERS THE MOST: Nurse can down you in less than 15 seconds regardless of NOED, Spirit will continue to have not counters even without NOED, Billy had a one-shot on demand. Meanwhile, weak M1 Killers with no one-shot ability, like Wraith or Pig, greatly benefit from it. 1 Killer perk should be equivalent to 1 Survivor perk x 4, Hex perks should be stronger than normal perks and perks that activate only at the end game should be stronger than those that are always active. Given all those conditions, an end game hex perk should be powerful and have a strong comeback factor.
VII) "THE GAME" IS A HEAVILY SURVIVOR-SIDED MAP: Except for Nurse, Killers have trouble patrolling two floors and dealing with endless safe pallets. A single Survivor can waste a lot of the Killer's time without even resorting to looping. Just drop the pallet right away, you will find a lot of safe ones. The reason many teams lose on this map brings me to my next point.
VIII) RUIN AND INSIDIOUS HAVE POWERFUL PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS: Ruin can powered through and not represent a significant obstacle if Survivors don't waste time looking for the totem. Likewise, Insidious is a weak perk if the hooked Survivor accepts to patiently wait for death while wasting the Killer's time. Things is, these things generally don't happen. Survivors will become exasperated from repairing with Ruin and look for totems and there is a good chance for the hooked Survivor to suicide on the hook instead or dying a slow death. These two perks are not great for their programmed gameplay effect, but because they make Survivors play badly due to their emotional state.
I would also talk about how Balanced Landing is often a win-more perk or how the new Freddy is still not that good, but this post is getting too long already. :P
Why just shirtless though? 🤔
1.Almost all of the killers in the game are currently viable.
2.Billy is an overrated killer.
3.I think BHVR does try their hardest to please both sides of the community however hard that is.
4.Minecraft is scarier than DBD
5.NOED is balanced but is a hassle if there are 4 solos because nobody does totems as solo.
1- Meg is ugly, Nea is not
2- (Proper) Stealth is harder than looping, but still effective at wasting the killer's time
2b- You can stealth a Doctor, and it feels great.
3- The Hag shouldn't be able to place traps in close proximity to hooked survivors. It's just old Trapper (pre 1.5) 2.0
4- Iridescent Heads are bs
5- Looping is not that big of a deal
A lot of these unpopular opinions seem to just be logic separated from the passive idiocy of the sycophantic fanbase, or personal opinions that it'd be odd to get in arms about.
I'm in the camp disagreeing about NOED, of course. It punishes survivors, rather than rewarding the killer, and I think perks should all be specific rewards rather than simple detriments - nerfs bad, buffs good, if you catch my drift. It's basically balanced, there's just too many bad killer players relying on it.. often enough that it impacts their ability to actually improve their midgame.
So yeah: 1. Nerfs bad, Buffs good, pretty universally.
Also, 2. Ghostface and Ghostface Lite (Legion) are poorly designed from the get-go.
And let's go with 3. The attractiveness of individual cast members in this game is immaterial and should never be considered as a primary goal for cosmetics, except for David's ugly, baked-clay lookin' Matinee Idol 'hair' that looks like someone made the greasiest wig they could find and poured some glue into it for good measure. Aesthetic is important, but not a character's bangability.
I like indoor maps and I think it's best to scare Survivors than to kill them.
Shirtless Myers is a dead meme.
When people pulls the "racial" card in a blendete argument it's because they can't come up with any gameplay justifications as to why p3 Claudette shoudnt be brightened up
1. Endgame Perks should be deleted for the health of this game.
2. Too many perks have too much inpact on this game.
@Nescau_Fernando
Since you took the time to write all that I'd like to take the time to provide some feedback. I know it's all just opinions but they were some good talking points!
I think the first few unpopular opinions that come to my mind are:
You will perish for saying Megs face is gross. (:
@Tower_XVI
That was a refreshingly civil response, specially for an unpopular opinions thread. Here are my answers:
1 - F2P model doesn't necessarily earn less money. Compared to the traditional monetization model (20 to 60 dollar main game + 5 to 20 dollar expansions), F2P has focus on selling cosmetics and speeding up some of the grind (in DBD's case, paying for a character instead or grinding shards). It tends to earn less from dedicated hardcore grinders, but a lot more from casuals and whales.
Upon gaining independence from Starbreeze, Behaviour started to change DBD's monetization from traditional to F2P model. Problem is we currently have the bad things of both models (base game price + agressive monetization) and few to none of the good things (full content access + free access). The grind (lack of full content access) was always there indeed, which is why this have always had a foot in F2P territory to begin with. BTW, I'm OK with grind (needs to be reduced, though) and cosmetic store (cosmetics could be a lot better, though); it's the access price that IMO needs to go.
2 - I don't think there is a disagreement here, but rather different concepts of "casual". To me, casual is any player who is not going to be a hardcore DBD competitor, regardless of being a non-gamer normie or a gamer who will play DBD at intermediate level or below.
3 - I believe fun and skillful stealth competition is possible against Nurse. The Survivor needs positioning and awareness, as well as the choice of where and if to run or not. Nurse needs to find clues of the Survivor's position (generator's worked on, scratch marks, crow alerts, sounds etc.) and decide where to focus her rotating blinks. Nurse can eventually find the Survivor and will score a down quickly, but the skill matter here is how much of the Killer's time the Survivor wasted. When playing as or against Nurse, I experienced the above situation many times and it was fun/skillful, so I want this to be more common. In other words, I want more balanced/back-and-forth stealth gameplay and less of the extreme cases (no stealth at all or full immersion).
5 - Yeah, Billy in particular deserves better. Not only better cosmetics, but a base appearance upgrade would be nice.
Oh we’re giving unpopular opinions? Okay, I’ll say it.
The devs do a great job and we’re lucky to have them.
Also.. noed is fine, and they over nerfed MoM.
It’s okay to be bad at this game, but admit to your shortcomings and realize sometimes, it really is your fault.
1.Boil Over is actually a pretty fun perk
2.Nurse has counter play
3.Tunneling/Camping is okay in certain situations
4.Meg is hot
5.LF needs a buff before pig/wraith
6.Bamboozle should be reworked or removed
7.Everyone should stop asking for shirtless cosmetics
8.Spirt takes no skill to play effectively
1) People who claim nurse is weak to stealth don't know what they are talking about, at all. Nurse is no more vulnerable to stealth than other killers, and is actually even better against it because she can close distances so quick with her power, leaving little time for survivors to stealth away. Against a good nurse the only way to possibly win is have all 4 survivors going as hard as they can on generators. Stealthing against good nurses does not waste their time.
2) Claiming that a killer is balanced at base is a silly comment to make. Killers absolutely should not be considered balanced or too strong based on their base kit. If you use a killer's base kit in red ranks, expect to be at a disadvantage.
3) The time it takes for generators to be completed is not the biggest issue in the game right now. The biggest issue is how awful some maps are, and the need for a map overhaul for many maps.
This is a cursed thread, asking for shirtless LF and decrying shirtless Myers (and a bunch of other stuff, but that's not as important)
Would you prefer shirtless Frank?
