Loudouts were a good start. They said they'll also improve the bloodweb again, i'm really hoping for an optional auto-level per bloodweb. Also how is quickswitching for survs still a thing? All loudouts should be locked after the lobby timer hits 15 secs.
Locking all loadouts at 15 seconds just means that to quickswitch you just change survivor/loadout at 16 seconds...

No, tunneling and camping are the direct problem. Especially tunneling- due to a lack of Endurance stacking, there are no good anti-tunnel perks, and tunneling disables Dead Hard, possibly the best survivor perk currently in the right hands. Camping simply ensures that you can tunnel effectively (and if you're able to camp a 3 gen, even better), and in cases where you can't tunnel you can at least force a trade. Moreover, once a survivor dies, the game becomes a substantially easier one to win.
There are no incentives to play for hooks but even if there were, they'd have to be massive (and essentially game changing) to compete with the pure efficiency given to c/t, including disabling an entire series of strong perks.
So, the issue actually is c/t, and how it is the most efficient way to play the game.

This is the first chapter ever I saw the killer and their power and went “nope this is trash. DBD is just focusing on sex appeal and forgot their game is supposed to be scary”. I won’t be bothering with this killer and I’m sad it’s going to be released in my favorite game.
A woman having hips is focusing on the sex appeal, apparently.
DBD stops being scary after about 40 hours. Overexposure does that.

Yes, because the power reminds me of Deathgarden and apparently on my list of killers I enjoy playing the weaker they are the better.
Also, Blood Rush seems snazzy

If they nerf every slowdown then how exactly is that shacking up the meta lmfao 🤣 did you not even see how the new killer didn't even bring any usefull perks? I'll just wait here with baited breath for this huge meta shake up your expecting. Rofl 😂
You say that, the new perk Leverage in a hit and run style could be massive if COH ever gets nerfed hard enough to kill it for good.

Excited to use Second Wind, Autodidakt, Sprint Burst, and Blood Rush together 💫

Correct. This was supposed to be how it works since they specified and standardised the generator key words back in patch 4.3.0, over 2 entire years ago.
Once the generator is blocked, it will not regress. It will lose the 15% but will not continue to regress further, even if other perks such as Jolt are applied. Once the generator is unblocked, regression will begin as normal.

Obviously we can figure out what it means. My point is it would be nice if they'd give us a straight answer when the question comes up.
But they don't because if they were to say "PTB on the 15th" and then an unfixable technical issue arose on the 15th that prevented the PTB going live, even if they were to release an apology like "Oh sorry guys the Internet in all of Canada is down and it's actually the German intern tweeting this" people would still find a way to blame them.
By saying "Find out more" and not "PTB on" it safeguards them against the risk. They can just publish information about the chapter and be like "Oh lol sorry PTB soon guys x" Because you and I both know what this player base is like, so I don't think you need to think for too long before realising that sending half of them into a rabid frenzy over a missed day is a good idea.

Something noteworthy:
Haddie's Upper outfit in the 6.6.0 column was once offered as a exclusive for Amazon Prime Gaming. That would be the first time a reward from Prime was then put into the in-game shop for everyone else.
That would also be a first with the Masquerade Outfit, the only anniversary cosmetic to come back. Perhaps that would be the case with the one for the Dredge?
With the anniversary one, it'll probably just be a case of "only available in the 2 weeks of anniversary"

I don't like or duslike it, but also can't really argue against it's existence because I know that sometimes it's needed. Some people just can't face certain characters for whatever reason (be it phobias or otherwise), and dcing would give you a penalty.
It's just sort of an "eh, play, whatever" reaction when I play killer. Either they're salty or they need it, and unless they go out of their way to tell me I'm not in a position to judge either. As a survivor I hate it, but again sometimes it's necessary so I'll just move on.
Life is too short to hold a grudge about a round of dbd for more than 2 minutes.
-
I mean, it'll do, but it definitely doesn't play into his strengths and instead has perks that don't synergies well with his weak points.
NWO is a good perk, don't get me wrong, but due to his lack of mobility there really isn't much time to capitalise on the time it gives you. However, there are also substantially worse perks to use. I personally wouldn't but if you're finding success with it, then I won't knock it either. Because of the nature of torment, and that if you're aiming to pip you want to be spreading hooks, you're unlikely to only ever cage/judgement someone, so you'll probably get the 4 stacks.
Corrupt is... Again, it's a good perk, but I wouldn't use it on Pyramid Head. He excels at fast chases and minimal downtime, so while Corrupt may be helpful for the early game you really want to be getting into chases ASAP and then downing and hooking/caging even quicker, meaning your Corrupt vanishes and you get monal value.
Tinkerer, though, is a no go, especially since the nerf. His lack of mobility means making it to a Tinkerer gen is often far too late, the information it provides is sub-par and other perks can do it better, and Undetectable doesn't do much either since everything he does is incredibly loud and telegraphed. Good luck getting a surprise hit when they can hear your metallic screeching from 3 miles away, not to mention the sound of digging your sword in to prepare for POTD is incredibly obvious and just deafeningly loud. It's just not worth it.
So, what would I suggest?
Well, I haven't been focused on the pip grind for a long time (I play exclusively for fun) so it may need a bit more fine tuning, but right now I think the build to try out is Deadlock, I'm All Ears, Lethal Pursuer, and then something else depending your playstyle. As in, just tech in a perk that suits your playstyle, because I don't know exsctly how you play. If you kick gens a lot, then go for Call of Brine. I unironically use Ruin, meanwhile, because I cannot stand kicking gens. I've seen people use Eruption (ew), people who focus more on forcing the lose/lose so get huge value with Sloppy, people who use Agitation to get minimal downtime, and even people use Awakened Awareness because of it's interaction with Lethal Pursuer (it reveals people's auras for an extra 2 seconds).
There are some perks that I'd avoid, though.
Any Scourge Hook perk. His power just does not mesh well with the perk design, at all.
Nurse's is a noob trap. Your attack is 8m long (10.5m long with the best range addons). Nurse's is 28m at it's highest tier, and his terror radius is 32m. There is no way a competent survivor will let you hit them with a surprise POTD, and the second they suspect you have Nurse's they'll just stop healing in your terror radius to prevent you getting value from the perk. The only real way to make Nurse's work is by running an Undetectable/Oblivious build, and I've explained why they don't really work on him specifically.
Off the back of that, Pentimento/Plaything. You don't really want to stall the game as Pyramid Head, but rather win off of overwhelming pressure and win fast. Plaything doesn't really do much bevause Oblivious, the entire thing is cancelled by boons, and you don't have the mobility to set up 4 Pentimento tokens in quick succession.
So, while this last slot is down to you (probably go for NWO given your build), I'll explain why I think LP and IAE should be in there.
LP does what Corrupt does for him, but better. While Corrupt helps you early game by forcing survivors to play in a smaller area, LP allows you to jump into a chase ASAP. Instead of making the survivors come to you, you force them out and are on them within 10 seconds of the game starting, leading to your snowball starting so much earlier if you can score a good down. Deadlock is often enough to help prevent the early game rush and allow you to build enough momentum unless your first few chases go poorly.
That's where IAE comes in. The second someone tries to loop, especially once you've gotten an IAE proc, you just win the chase if you're competent. Moreover it gives good information as to if you should drop a chase (good old W key gamers), and just generally is a very helpful aura perk. Lethal Pursuer also helps to augment this, turning it from a 6 second aura read on a 40 second cooldown to an 8 second aura read on a 38 second cooldown.
So, yeah, hope this helps 💫
I appreciate the tag

Ensure that the PGTW/PR combo doesn't just delete 40% of a gens progress and absolutely.
Nerf PR and bring PGTW back though, because PGTW was far healthier and more engaging than PR is because it requires killers to actively leave the hook and kick the gen whereas PR gets value just by camping and hoping survivors trade.

Now what if I told you that Sadako was the killer who's power I enjoy, who's power I find worthy of properly mastering, and the reason for my success as her is because I remember all of my M1 tricks from 2017 DBD
Like Pyramid Head is fine and good but Sadako just scratches an itch no killer has been able to since Freddy was reworked back in 2019.

If you read the other comments, I already stated I wanted Eruption nerfed. Not gutted. I am not saying it's the answer. I am simply pointing out that M1 killers are being left in the dust.
Before then, we had Pop. Then it was nerfed and made awful. Before that, it was Ruin/Undying. It was also completely gutted. It's an endless cycle.
Pain Res and DMS have also been nerfed since release.
Pop and RuinDying were both gutted in the same update, and there was a solid chunk of time between 6.1.0 and when Eruption found it's place as a true meta staple (before that, it was just OverBrine seeing play). Considering that during this chunk of time is when Hyperfocus rush builds we're at their peak and yet people were still capable of winning with M1 killers, I don't think the death of eruption is the death of every single M1 killer ever.
However, they'll now have individual good regression and slowdown perks on them rather than just being able to slap on Eruption and call it a day.
For example, Sadako will be able to get a lot of milage out of Jolt due to a lower terror radius and her ability to use Sloppy effectively, whereas Doc would probably be better with the PR/DMS combo because DMS works really well with his Static Blast. Meanwhile any killer that needs time to set up would be running Corrupt instead.
The only universally good slowdown on every single killer after this nerf is Deadlock, and I'm fine with that. Each character should have a collection of perks that they're good with, but in order to encourage build variety and just to make sure it isn't the same perk on every single killer, there shouldn't be one outlier that's just too overbearingly good.

Think of it this way: A plumber with 20 years experience is almost certainly going to be more skilled at plumbing than a plumber who just graduated from trade school and got their license.
What you're arguing flies in the face of common sense and nobody makes this argument outside of video games. Because it's utterly foolish and everyone knows it. The correlation isn't 1:1, nobody's arguing that, but to argue an utter lack of correlation between time played and player skill is nonsense.
I'm not even trying to "learn Huntress," I'm just taking her to P3 and maybe never touching her again. That's got nothing to do with what's going on here.
It's patently absurd on its face that this is the way matchmaking works. Everyone knows MMR doesn't work, and MMR should't even carry between Killers the way it currently does. Several of them play so differently from each other that the baseline player skill set might not even matter from one to the next.
Where in this thread has anyone denied the correlation between time played and in-game skill?
The only thing being denied is the correlation between prestige level and skill level, or prestige level and time played.
I have over 3.6k hours, but do not have a character prestige above 14. My friend has under 2k and has a prestige 60 Nea. Is he more skilled and suddenly has an additional 2.3k hours simply because his Nea is a higher prestige level than mine? Would his skill level and time played suddenly drop if he switched to Mikaela, who's only P1?
Prestige level doesn't equal time played or skill level. It's the time played and skill level that correlates. Nobody is arguing against that here.

Literally the only thing in her addons that needs a nerf is how MDR interacts with DCB.
That's it. Her addons are mediocre and underwhelming otherwise, especially because they nerfed one of the two gimmicks (Furin is now completely useless for any purpose) as a bug fix, leaving pallet breaking as the only other option.
Even then, DCB could be changed to be much more of an accessibility addon than just flat out nerfed. Keep it's ability to give killer instinct, but survivors make no/significantly reduced grunts of pain (also you can see scratch marks again). The really good players with cracked headsets won't need it, but for newer players or those who are hard of hearing/have terrible headsets it could be a very welcome addon.
The only thing that Spirit has that really needs to go, imo, is MDR. Everything else she has is fine, or can be slightly tweaked to make it fine, tbh.

Iron Will still isn't completely invalid as a counter. Lucky Break or something else to hide your scratch marks can confuse the other player for a second to make distance. Things like slow vaulting still work if you know Spirit is close.
But FFS, Spirit doesn't have anything in her base kit to nerf to account for 'I can't hear her for some reason'. She's still less than double base movement. If you add visual cues, you've just made her a kinda fast M1 Killer.
Add in those little footstep things they were on about ages ago and make the phasing noise no longer directional would be imo the way to do it if you were to change her to account for this.

Uh huh yes please tell me how more how there's no skill gap here. Such a dumb thing to argue. Someone with over 1K hours playing the same character is going to better than me with two games under my belt with a killer that's not easy to play.
Never fails that the "time played has no correlation whatsoever to a player's ability" crowd is trampling each other to see how quickly they can opine with the same demonstrably false nonsense.
There is no other discipline, sport, or pastime where people argue this straight donkeybrain foolishness.
It wasn't that time played has no correlation to skill whatsoever, but that prestige level is not indicative of time played or skill level.
And for the record, the MMR system currently in dbd is terrible, for lack of a better word, but it takes ~10 games to find an okay-ish place for you within the system. Your ranking is incredibly volitile before that and subsequently one single victory will send you rocketing up in rating even if you're brand new.
Also you're rank 1, clearly you've been playing at least a little bit on some other killers. You'll be fine.
