Are you really comparing a tournament with a significant pricepool to the regular DBD-experience?
Obviously the players are more stressed and less likely to have fun with such a high pricepool involved. Let alone that DBD Is still no tournament-game.

Sure they're stressed but again This ARE BIG NAME STREAMERS WITH MASSIVE AUDIENCES, they just showed how they hate DBD so badly. Like Shroud straight up uninstalled, is that not a bad thing?

Edit: If I'm an avid follower of Shroud, a Guy who rekts at competitive scenes in any shooter and I saw how bad his experience is at the game, I sure ain't trying DBD.

Footsteps are just screwed up regardless, no?
Although...and this is a shot in the dark based off of some amateur knowledge I gained about Apex Legends awhile ago...maybe this is an audio prioritization issue? I know Apex (really, Source engine, which Apex runs on a heavily modified version of) has an audio prioritization system, and it's one of the reasons why footstep audio in that game is so heavily complained about. There are often so many sounds going off at once that footsteps can essentially be "eaten" and fail to play at all, which makes combat legibility awful in that game at times (or did, haven't played in awhile).
Maybe DbD has a similar thing going on with its audio problems. And...going further, maybe it's something as simple like them muting/turning the audio to 0 instead of disabling it? Like even though survivors don't breathe while injured maybe the audio file is still active, taking up a priority spot? Would explain why the downed survivor audio bug was so prevalent too. Maybe the game is technically playing healthy, injured, and downed audio files all at once (or some combination of them) but just has the volume set to 0 on some of them. That might be a problem?
I'm probably way off the mark considering neither Apex nor DbD have fixed these issues, certain textures in DbD have had audio bugs in the past, Eyrie of Crows' sandy existence, and the fact that I'm no programmer. But it goes to show how hard it can be to even begin to solve these issues. It's very rarely a "just fix it, change a number" moment.
I do think Iron Will needs reworked if they're not going to spend the time tackling the issue, though.
E: Also I forgot to say, DbD's audio occlusion system is wack. Could have something to do with it as well.

Just a bit weird, they could just program Healthy State Sound when injured if they have Iron Will as a Perk. I think they programmed it that Injured States sound to be disabled but forgot footsteps to be included there so there are zero sounds

I don't think dead hard should dodge bear traps. That's the only issue I have with it tbh.
As for dodging Blight, isn't his attack still considered a m1?

Hmmmm it's more like a hard to control M1 swing that can only hit in a 45 degree angle if you try hard enough. I consider it to be something more closer to Shred.

Well this blew up in one day. I knew it'd make some of yall mad but dang, yall still arguing about this. I'm not taking the time to respond to 80 comments (most of which are just repeated the same talking points over and over anyway) so I'll sum it up here.
I've still yet to see a response to why everyone throws a hissy fit when you mention that the top killers are capable of playing at a level where they can make any killer viable and that's an issue because that's not representative of the average players. But the majority of the arguments everyone makes for survivors is based on "top tier, 4 man SWF, best coordination, best perks, death squad, etc" So arguments based around the top 1% of survivors is okay, but arguments around the top 1% of killers isn't???
When I say viable, I mean they are capable of killing at least half a team. Every killer in capable hands can do that pretty easily, and again, I'd argue most can even confirm 3 kills if the player is good enough. Some of yall may consider that a low bar, but we can agree to disagree on that. Personally I think kills is a terrible measure of skill anyway because it says that a face camping Bubba getting 2 kills has more skill than a killer who worked hard and got all 4 survivors to death hook but couldn't confirm a kill and that's dumb but that's the game we're stuck with currently.
Streaks might not be 100% reliable, but all these assumptions that he's only playing against low tier survivors or people who are throwing 50 games in a row is just as absurd and there's literally no grounds for yall to base those statements on. You're stretching

You said Skills Level matters. So at the top of top 1%

(The Best Killers vs Best Survivors) Dowsey and Tru3 struggling to get hooks versus Oracle (4 Man competitive Team) on their strongest Killers means those Killers aren't viable.

At your skill level though.
Again I'll restate, if someone else can use the same killers that you can't and can perform well with them (whether it be Otz, Scott Jund, any top tier DBD player), then the issue is not the killer. It's your current skill level

By this logic, Tru3Talent and Dowsey going up against Oracle a competitive 4 Man SWF using their M A I N S (Tru3 as Wraith and Dowsey as Twins) getting rekt and struggling to get HOOKs means Wraith and Twins isn't viable.

If your Killer Skill level Matters this means Survivor Skill level should Matter too no?

Ah yes. The overwhelming gratitude those survivors show, truly makes up for the "gg ez" comments you get after playing like this.

Their "gg ez" are meaningless when you got everyone on 2 hooks with 3 generators remaining and you proceed to rekt them Multiple times and let them live. Imagine Downing a Nea 20 times in a single match, do you think their "gg ez" message means anything other than a cute weakling looking tough?

If Wude is " the practice of letting an opponent know that you could defeat them handily, but allowing them to live as a mercy", then you'd be already destroying them in the first place and just choosing to let them go.
without that it just looks like this
https://us.v-cdn.net/6030815/uploads/J18T7QWF3EEA/telltaale.jpg
which is just accepting that you lost. I feel like an overwhelming victory but showing mercy and getting destroyed yourself but being okay with it are two different things.

The win condition is still getting 2 hooks on each survivor or 8 overall hooks. After this the Killer then still proceeds down Survivors on Chases (Depends on the Surv if they want to Loop or Farm). When downing the Survivors multiple times after their 2nd hook, The killer sends a message to 4 survivors that they can be killed anytime the Killer wants simulating Wude.

The 8 hooks 0 kills condition is to make sure you don't look like you got destroyed.

Manipulating your MMR by losing, then applauding yourself for pseudo winning while still driving your MMR down is smurfing. Yay. You are having fun beating people up you shouldn’t be matched with.
Do I blame you? Not really, killer sucks right now. Do I agree you should do it? No.
Sorry but it is still the cowards way out. But hell I can’t bring myself to play killer anymore so you’re a better person than I.

If playing with people you should not get matched with is smurfing, wouldn't that mean before SBMM was introduced all Killers were smurfs? What made DBD fun back in the day was due to casual players/ not so good players were getting matched with you. If this is smurfing that would mean 1.8K Hours on my Killer was just me smurfing.

Getting 8 Hooks 0 Kills is way better than getting 2 hooks 2 kills with a basement bubba.

I agree. Having to let the survivors know that you weren't trying to win sounds like insecurity.

Hmmm I guess I'll just do a giga chad move and just type "gg" on all of my matches in the future

I don't think killers are complaining that they are decimating survivors.

A Big Part of Killers are complaining that they are sweating Balls for Kills and generally find their time to be unfun. Wude makes games fun for both sides as technically you loss as a Killer on the match but on the hearts on 5 players, you won by a land slide.

Also I keep seeing people complaining they aren't getting enough Kills, with Wude, you embrace that you won't get kills as you down Survivors multiple times after their 2nd Hooks. You won by your standards by a mile but technically loss because of BHVR's bad SBMM system.

Sometimes it's just the thrill of the chase, you know?

Agreed, Matches like this are more fun as its always non stop chases, no dead times where you camp someone and no stress of you N E E D I N G to kill someone.
