Buff movement speed of almost all M1 killers to 4.8 m/s

I said it. M1 killers are outdated and clowned on in higher tiers, they need to be able to compete. This change WOULD make them significantly stronger in low MMR matches yes BUT they would still be weaker than say a nurse, hilly billy, etc in those same lobbies (assuming said killer is equally competent w/ nurse as they are w/ hag for instance).

In higher MMR lobbies - this will increase diversity of killers

  • I could see arguments to make it 3.9 m/s as well

  • Am I having a stroke? Killers are 4.4 m/s or 4.6 m/s.

  • I guess you wanted to say 4,8 m/s and not 3,8 m/s…

    But no. The game is really balanced around the current movement speeds, adding another 5% on it would have way too much impact. You cannot just slap 5% more movement speed on every Killer and call it a day, you just cannot tinker with Haste in such a way.

  • In case this isn't bait trapper is 4.6 m/s hag is 4.4 m/s and survivors are 4.0 m/s also the balance of m1 chase would be fine without pallet density imo

  • XD - I had a stroke lol. twas a type

    The game is balanced for killers w/ more natural mobility BUT not balanced for the majority of the roster. Furthermore I never said anything about "every killer". I specifically said "almost all M1 killers". The killers that are generally speaking outdated for the most part

    I recently made a post on this and The Haste & Hindered Rework being added back to the game because of diminishing returns and whatnot. I do not think buffing movement speed is an option which is why so many m1 killers run PWYF example being Sadako and Ghost Face as it helps improve their chase significantly while still being able to run slowdown its another reason why I don't think killers need buffs like this.

  • People will still only play the top tiers.

    All you've done now is make everyone else just as obnoxious.

    I would disagree. First and foremost it is my opinion that individually most M1 killers need non pure-movement speed buffs, but knowing how BHVR generally operates w/ blanket policies for the most part -a mere small increase in base speed for non-ranged/non-super mobile killers would greatly improve the QOL of most folks that would like to play a more "dated" killer. 4.8 is not much of an increase from 4.6 so to argue it would make things blatantly unbalanced or "obnoxious" is a bit of overkill

    Depends on killer but both some 4,6 while others 4,4 and some can be both like springtrap depending if he has axe on him or not.

    Nurse is like 3,8 m/s. If you want more info go to dbd wiki where sll stats are.

  • Sounds like a good way to stoke outrage against M1 killers.

    You are correct. Players will choose the top tier, but that top tier might change with this buff.

    I'm well aware. Their original post said killers should be 3.8 or 3.9

  • Yeah this will go over great. Everybody loved turboClown. Let's do that to all the killers.

    Turbo clown had 12% haste from yellow without addons, here he said like 5% speed added to basekit (from 4,6 to 4,8 i think) which is less.

    Still theres no need to buff killer speed globaly, individualy well thats different thing like giving trickster and huntress 4,6 m/s after they have no projectiles and changes like this.
