I’ve definitely spent too much time on this game, but that’s mostly thanks to the many good people I’ve played with.
That being said, I honestly can’t endure this ridiculous creation any longer. I just want to vent here about what frustrates me about the game. I’m not trying to encourage any hate toward the developers or the community.
Years have gone by, and even though the game is objectively much healthier and overall better than it used to be, it’s still in a bad state.
The main issue—and the one that never changes—is the terrible hitboxes. I know, I know, it's caused by latency. But still, it makes the game nearly unplayable because it breaks the core mechanics in almost every match. What’s the point of vaulting if you get hit five meters after you've already vaulted? You’re following the rules, doing what you’re supposed to do, and still get punished—because of lag or some other issue. And it’s not just something that happens occasionally; it happens in nearly every match with only a few exceptions.
I dont need to explain how bad it is that the game only works properly in rare cases. And if these weird hits happened equally when I played survivor and killer, it might be somewhat fair. But unfortunately, when I play killer, it feels like my weapon shrinks—I can't land those “legendary” hits through windows or at the end of pallet vaults like other killers seem to. It's frustrating to see how the game works differently depending on which side you're playing, and it always feels like it's working against you.
There are even hits from the killer when you’re already on the first floor after vaulting, and they’re still on the second floor—same problem as vault hits, just another version of it.
There’s a lot more I could say, but this is the main issue. I don’t want to write a whole novel, so I’ll just add that even though PTB (Public Test Build) exists, the content that makes it to the live server almost always still needs a lot of polishing.
The new event is honestly terrible—not just because it limits most of your killer perks, but also because as a survivor, you can’t collect blood tanks with your teammate if terrain gets in the way, which I doubt is intentional.
The Ghoul is a perfect example of poor design—he can hit through walls and has tunneling potential that’s arguably the best in the game. His Blight/Nurse-like mobility lets him dash and immediatly hit after crossing ton of distance or vaulting a window or pallet, I did it, other killers did it and since he can wound you easily it creates dangerous combination in which I that noticed people refuse to play the game when I pick ghoul and honestly I cant blame them since Im never happy to see him also when I play as survivor. A lot of their killer concepts feel too similar, and the Ghoul just feels like an unbalanced version of Wesker. I think I also already mentioned that I dislike how perks in this game are basically various other forms of aura reading or inflicting alredy existing in multiple perks status effect, there is a creative forum and I believe many peoople created good ideas that could be put in the game, becasue the game doesnt really need another reheated meal in form of tweaked perk varation we already have.
And speaking of tunneling—it’s been ten years and the issue still isn’t solved. Don’t tell me “that’s how it’s supposed to be,” because that’s just dumb. Playing killer without tunneling is harder and more punishing, and even though tunneling and camping have been made more difficult, they’re still the most effective ways to win. That alone shows how fundamentally flawed the game’s design is.
If a major flaw like tunneling can only be fixed by perks, that’s ridiculous. Many of my teammates who die early don’t have “Off the Record” or “Decisive Strike.” Maybe you could say it’s their fault, but it’s crazy that you have to bring certain perks just to not get stomped. That discourages people from picking the perks they actually want to use. I personally always use anti-tunneling perk in whatever build I run, thats why with some experience I would dare to say im fine with being tunneled and dont really mind it however I mind when it happens to others and I doubt less experience player loves being eliminated quickly without much of a chance. And dont get me wrong picking more fun build as killer without much gen pressure can often end in similiar fashion.
There are some other issues I would want to talk about but I think I have written that novel already.
To end this post, I really enjoyed 2v8 mode, I love how they finalyl did something about slugging and I’ve liked many of their ideas of both killers and their powers in recent years like Wesker, Dracula, Vecna, Dredge, or the Unknown. But it feels like the core issues of this game will never be fixed.

It's true, there are just soooooooooooooooooooo many cheater in dbd its just insane. Subtle hack are out of control and if you play long enough you see it.

The difference against a normal player and subtle cheats is day and night, and its killing the game. But holy ######### it's bad

No, you dont go against such a team like in the VOD on a regular basis. And you dont go against such a team multiple times in a short gaming session.
Be reasonable.

This team has been playing for hours on end with the same setup. Yes my MMR is high and yes i come across SWF 90 % of my games
