Let's hope so. If DBD ever collaborates with Fortnite, Solo Survivors should get Take the L and an expanded emote wheel.

Ask the devs to remove MMR if you don't want this game to be at least somewhat competitive. Until MMR is in the game, killers will have to sweat to get any reasonable chance to win the game.

They have to sweat to 4k, they don't have to sweat to have fun.

That's just wrong. They do play a small part, but it's very insignificant most of the time.
Camping and tunnelling are stronger (arguably) because DS has been nerfed even though it's still a decent perk, but no one runs it.
Camping and tunnelling should not be fixed "completely". Both of these things should be part of the game as the whole game is balanced around it - so many perks, band-aids, etc. are due to this feature being available to the game. It should be a gameplay option for a killer which presents a high-risk, high-reward scenario. At the moment, I think camping and tunnelling is in a good spot all things considered (except face camp bubba)
If you remove camping and tunnelling from the game completely (or make it so it's always a negative to a killer), the killer side of the game would die in 3 weeks lol.

Just change the expectations of Killer mains. They don't have to 4k every match. Sweats always push out Casuals in PvP games. Camping and tunneling is sweating. There's a SWF equivalent, as well.

They buffed the base kit BT to a very strong level.
Survivors have adapted and re-learned the meta.
Bad survivors quit, and good survivors stayed.
Thanatophobia is dead.
They added reassurance + hyperfocus.
I do believe the main increase in kill rates increasing is indirect buffs to tunnelling and camping, which both have been decently nerfed since your "61 % win rate". Additionally, lots of survivors have learned how to play again.
I don't see any buffs to killer besides Wesker mini buff since 6.10.
And it's not 1 month only, they're at least 2 months old.

The only real way to fix camping and tunneling is reversing the weapon wipe cooldown buff Killers received, the nerf to distance after injury that Survivors received, and the 2 stacks STBFL basekit that Killers received after 6.1 That's why camping and tunneling is buffed and basekit Borrowed Time or Reassurance will do nothing significant about it.

What is your proof that I am trolling? As far as I can see, you're the one who is trolling here the most + throwing false accusations. If you don't like my name, maybe don't participate in the discussion. Must be hard, but I know it's doable ;)

The DBD playerbase mades youtube videos of Almo making fun of him. Whenever his name is brought up, it's more often than not to ridicule him. You know Almo's name so you know how the playerbase reacts to him. That's the proof you're trolling.

I won't address 61 % because it's irrelevant. If you can counter-address my points why it's relevant - then go ahead. The very likely fact is, it's definitely not 61 % anymore, therefore, there is no point discussing it.
Also, Nurse is 40 %, I think she needs buffs.

The numbers are only a month old, that's very relevant.

And Killer has every tool in the game to win.
Only Nurse, and maybe Blight.
How many stacks of basekit STBFL do Killers need? How much more would you nerf Survivor distance after an injury? How much more would you expand Huntress' mini-fridges?
I was going to address your points until I read the last point. You're really biased to a survivor side - just don't hide it, because it looks very ridiculous ;)

You propose Universal Killer Buffs. The Kill Rate is 61%. Old Gen is harder to play than New Gen and PC. The Kill Rate is lower for Old Gen. How much higher does the Kill Rate have to be for New Gen and PC to satisfy you? Answer the question.

Outdated + biased stats. Irrelevant.
Outdated - been already many buffs for the survivor since that data was gathered.
Biased - lots of survivors were killing themselves on hook/DCing/refusing to adapt during the first weeks of the new patch.
61 % is a delusional statistic, especially now.

You're not serious, that's why you call yourself AlmoFan. You're trolling.

Tell me you play only one side without telling me that you only play one side.

I play Solo Survivor and Killer on Old Gen. You wanna bet that new gen and PC have higher kill rates than old gen Killer? You wanna bet that SWF has a higher survival rate than 39%? The Kill Rate is 61%. How much higher does it need to be?

Tell me you do not know what you're talking about. You're messing around.

Good SWF destroys everyone bar Nurse and maybe Blight. There is no discussion regarding this. If they didn't destroy the killer, then it wasn't a good SWF. SWF has every tool in the game to win - they just need skill and to actually try (:

And Killer has every tool in the game to win. How many stacks of basekit STBFL do Killers need? How much more would you nerf Survivor distance after an injury? How much more would you expand Huntress' mini-fridges?

Coup is probably at least a three-star perk. There's always going to be four better perks to run no matter what kind of build you're going for, but it's a pretty good perk and fun.

They should be able to see each other’s perks, but as the match is loading so no one can dodge. And I can think of at least five other survivor perks I would rather dodge than Distortion.
Also, aren’t most survivors who play solo generally more selfish than a SWF? Distortion or not. This game was designed for survivors to opt when to help teammates or not. Rewatch the trailers.

I play Fortnite, too. Occasionally, random squads. You'll often have a teammate that leaves the match upon being downed rather than waiting to see if the rest of the squad can win the fight and heal said teammate. No one likes that teammate in the same way that no one likes selfish teammates in DBD solo queue. If BHVR thinks Survivor should be played selfishly, they're wrong.

Only Solo Queue has such fatalistic perks, then. No Way Out isn't run because endgame is predetermined, it's because it's guaranteed slowdown.
My Solo Queue build overcompensates for team coordination, but that's a balance issue. Some are prioritizing coordination, others prioritize coordination. While Killer is at a decent spot and SWF is what it is.

I said Coordination twice. Survival and Coordination are the two classes of perks that only Solo Queue has to run.

Yeah no. Am I selfish in that I don't try to make sure that I get my equal time in chase and number of hooks as everyone else? Sure, I'm terrible in chase as survivor and I'm not going to be buying anyone much time, so I'm best serving the team by staying out of sight and slamming gens. I run Kindred so I can see if I need to go for save, which I'm happy to do unless they are being camped. I'll heal and bodyblock as I can. I run distortion to help keep me alive so I can do these things. Once gates are open, I have no problem sacrificing myself to get someone else out of the gate, but I guess I'm still the selfish one that needs a perk nerfed to force me into more (very short) chases that just leads to my teammates wasting time trying to rescue me.

There are classes of perks for Solo that SWF don't have to run. Coordination and Survival are the classes, I think. The fact that Solos have to run these perks are a reason why they lag behind.

I don't run Sole Survivor to be selfish. I run it because solo queue often puts me with survivors who aren't capable of winning that particular trial. Like, I'll be doing gen number 1, and they're somehow all slugged before the first gen is done. So I run Sole Survivor/Wake Up/Left Behind to try and salvage the routine matchmaking disasters and unplayable matches.

Experience + watching better players and implementing their knowledge. Somewhat strong perks and addons depending on the team and that's it. I really don't think I do anything impressive.

Pro Vengeance is a Killer main on youtube and he goes on 50-game win streaks on Killers like Clown and Doctor, currently. Prior to SBMM, he won something like 1096 out of 1103 matches. He's hardly the most mechanically skilled Killer, either; he just has gamesense and plays to win. You have those two things, you're going to win 70-90% of your matches. Against solo queue, you'll win upwards of 95% of your matches.

As someone who always runs kindred and windows, i understand that all too well. And considering CoH is an extremely team oriented perk, you're kinda using that as an excuse. You still have room for 1 exhaustion perk and 1 flex spot, while any boon of your choice can work there to fulfill the same end of also covering for the play/penti combo (or even just pentimento at all)

I've been running Open-Handed in most builds because it seems like the bubble on a survivor being hooked seems to be here to stay. Kindred is always in my builds, so I don't think of it having to be basekit. But, the bubble blocking the Killer's aura upon hook should be removed when running Kindred.

Unless survivors are willing to give up all perks and addons that speed gens up, y’all really need to stop complaining about perks that slow gens down. From start to finish, the first few gens do not take 90 seconds. As a killer who does not run any slowdown perks, I would totally be in favor of removing all slow down/regression/speed up perks for both sides (I am okay with perks that block gens ie repressed alliance, dms). Are you in favor of removing these for both sides or do you just want to nerf killer perks because you want games to be even easier?

I would like getting rid of all slowdown perks for Killer and all gen efficiency perks for Survivor. I don't slowdown on Killer and gen perks on Survivor (Solo, though).

Since you ignored the hint and decided to find a new thing to complain about instead, boons completely nullify the combo because they let you turn any hex totem into a dull instead of breaking it. Its yet another feather in CoH's cap, basically.

I run team-oriented perks in Solo Queue. Kindred, Open-Handed, Bond, etc. There are only so many perk slots. I like a perk to help with chase, too, which is what Plaything helps with.

This is why SWF always Run it becauseit helps soloq 🤷‍♀️ Making Gens fly in like 40 seconds is a QOLHmmm ok then are any Slowdown Perks like Pentimento, Corrupted, Eruption also QOL Perks for weaker Killers

From the perspective of Solo Survivor, it is quality of life. I know that SWF is strong, but Killer is as well and Solo Survivor is weak.

@Ryuhi said:
Plaything is pretty much the only way to ever get to even use pentimento, especially since hexes can be booned and snuffing it just reverts to a dull. Pentimento also tells at least one person exactly where it is, due to it requiring at least one cleansed totem to be able to apply it. The entire point of the perk is for it to provide a strong amount of slowdown for a very limited duration due to its drawbacks.
Its kinda not great, but its also better than a corrupt that removes itself the moment someone is downed, a ruin that deletes itself if nobody cleansed it by the time you get a kill, and so on. I hope you're not bothered by deadlock, because that one is becoming pretty meta lately as well for the same reason.

The devs should buff Huntress Lullaby. There's no reason why Plaything should have multiple uses while Lullaby has one without Undying. It's a superior perk to Plaything as far as design goes. It requires effort on the part of Survivor whereas Plaything requires very little on the part of Killer.

Yeah Pentimento can be strong but ist very situational most times a Good Survivor Team doesnt cleamse a Plaything Totem or they just boonit also pentimento totem still can be destroyed sometimes i just get like 2 Pentimento Totems in my Game
Also if say that Slowdown like Pentimento doesnt have a Place than also Toolboxes, Hyperfocus and Prove thyself doesnt have a Place
Tue reason so many Killers Run Slowdown Perk is becasue the Gen Speed is still Way to fast and needs to fixed sometimes u start a Game and 3 Gens are done on the First down

Prove Thyself is a QOL perk for solo queue; it makes gens feel more tolerable. I haven't seen Hyperfocus/Stakeout as either Killer or Survivor.

There's no way you seriously think Myers and Ghostface have more limitations on their instant down than Wesker.

Wesker has way more aspects to his power than Myers and Ghostface. Wesker doesn't need a one-shot down and it's obvious that recent killer designs are just a hodge-podge of former killer designs thrown together. Wesker is the best example of it right now.
