Oh, my apologies, I forgot how balancing around the average player has only kept this game going for, what, nearly 7 years?

Yeah because of licenses and the fact it doesn't have any real competition. If TCM is a hit it might tank DBDs players entirely unless DBD is able to change and increase both long term player base and keep the short term (Aka balancing around top levels of play but keeping SOME things in mind for lower level players)

Balancing around top level play will kill the game.
Balance around the average player.

No. Balancing around the average player is how you decimate a games longevity especially one like DBD.

All balancing around average players does is keep new players playing for a month or two then dropping it for something else while the ones who stay committed will eventually leave once they get good enough due to the horrendous balance.

What purpose would this actually serve other than encouraging elitism? One person's opinion is no more valid than someone else's just because their MMR is higher. Both of you are people playing a video game, we should be doing what we can to ensure that both of you have a good time. To say that only someone who's among the best in the world should have a say would imply that the opinions of the vast majority of people playing in the middle of the pack don't matter, which is incredibly selfish.
I really can't begin to stress how rare it is for someone to be near or above the matchmaking softcap for MMR. Far more people claim to be 'max MMR' when in reality, there's nowhere near that many people up there.
That said, that's what the community team is here for; to take feedback from everyone, including the people who are up there.

I mean if you want a balanced and good game you should only listen to top players that's kinda common knowledge with game balance. Balancing around lower level play is how we got into this huge mess to begin with.

That's not the point at all though
The point is if you intentionally handicap yourself (Playing with weak perks) and you go against meta slaves who know how to play, you are probably going to lose. That goes double if you pick a notoriously weak killer (The example being Trapper, but there are others)
Granted, IF you are good enough you might be able to still win - usually by tunnelling someone out megahard, slugging and so on.

Yeah no that's still a gross take. Saying people deserve to lose just because they pick a killer they might an enjoy is a gross entitled take that's just giving excuses as to never buff killers.

Expect will also work as a substitute for deserved.
Also, are you REALLY sure that you wanna call me a Survivor main?

When you're saying someone deserves to lose for playing a killer they enjoy I'd assume you're a survivor main or someone who's so extremely comp focused they forget this game doesn't even have a comp mode.

I think "deserve" is the wrong word being used, I think the best word is "expect". Weak killers aren't balanced around coordinated 4man swfs, and if they were then solo players would stand 0% chance against killer in general. So playing a weak Killer, with weaker perks and add-ons, against certain survivors, I would absolutely expect the killer to lose. They may not, but I would expect it. It's just like when I play solo survivor. I don't use meta perks, and when I come across a Nurse using meta perks I don't expect to win.

They've since replied and said me saying deserved was indeed correct. I think survivor mains ideas of balance is crazy that "unless you play nurse or blight you deserve to lose!" And they think that's a balanced world...

He did. Rightfully so. That would be like if you complain as survivor if you run a meme build in soloQ and then complain that the Nurse on Midwich stomped you and you didn't escape. If you want to win you need to do it properly. If you play off-meta perks/killers just accept the fact that you don't win if the other side is going to tryhard.

Huh...so you're literally not allowed to play certain killers and that's considered balanced to you guys?...

"It's bad playing a historically weak Killer who doesn't do well against SWF's into a 4-man SWF"
Uh....yeah, if you play a weak Killer into their worst-case scenario and refuse to use optimal tactics, you should lose. You are choosing to play Trapper. You are choosing not to tunnel. You are choosing not to camp.
This isn't a "Playing Killer at high MMR is terrible" this is, "I don't want to play optimally to win against other people who are also playing optimally."

Did you just say he deserves to lose because he chose to play trapper against a 4 man?

they used to do this sometimes, putting in individual random ass peices like... a jeff shirt, meg pants, plague head, trapper weapon, nurse weapon, etc. but i guess its easier to pick an outfit and make it all the same colors (like rift 14 having valentines AND st patricks) than to take 3 random things and make them all different.

Yeah I mean like keep the rift how it is (so the big recolor cosmetics n stuff) but replace like 9 charm slots with just small recolored pieces. I still have the bronze pain flail from like rift 3 on trapper so I think more tiny pieces like that would be way more used and liked than random charms

Would honestly love just some more recolors of hairs and shirts especially

Same! We have like 30 charms per rift pass and no one uses them. Switching like 7-8 charms out with simplistic recolors like this seriously wouldn't hurt anyone and if anything would make the rift even more likable! I mean surely just recoloring a few random cosmetic pieces takes less work than making new charms so it's a win win for everyone

Either you have one survivor healing for 21 seconds, or two survivors healing for 10.5 seconds, it really does not make that much of a difference.

One survivor healing for 20 seconds while 3 survivors are pressuring 3 separate generators and can easily switch off or 2 survivors (one of which has to hang back to even heal the others btw) who have to heal across the map while the other 2 pressure gens at a much slower rate

I don't think Trickster/Deathslinger's lore stories are laughable at all. I'll give you Legion. I usually excuse Legion as its an "unintentional way" for us to have movies like Purge represented in DBD.

Tricksters lore is just "I left my band mates to die in a fire then got an obsession with killing because of it." Which is...really weird and doesn't make sense at all. Deathslingers I always forget cause it's kinda a snoozefest like his design

One guy with botany can heal everyone but himself at +50% speed. CoH does work on a wider scale but also requires slowdown due to the initial set-up, and the range limitation.
But if you, as killer, keep patrolling a 3-gen and keep injuring survivors but letting them go, that Botany will nullify your pressure as faster, or even faster than CoH does.
And you can't snuff out Botany.

Again, you need one person to bring COH and then you never have to worry about healing someone. COH allows one person to be injured, run away, then start healing while the other 3 keep on pressuring the 3 gen or whatever else is needed. Botany you need 1 person always out of the game so you're left with 3 people and again, the slow down doesn't matter its the self heal that makes it op

If you call that horror, I guess. No wonder they give us stuff like this. We have people accepting of ANYTHING at all. They could give us a pile of poop with horns and there would be a few people that say it fits.. I'll be doing what I'm sure most people will with Skull Merchant. Get the character with shards and wait for a skin that actually makes the character look like they fit.
Her lore is nothing like Tricksters either. His lore at least paints him as a psychopath. Skull Merchant's lore is so lazy its laughable..

Her lore is laughable yet legion, trickster, and deathslinger exist

Hold on, what's that scenario look like without CoH though? Where killers can build pressure without leaving gens?
Because that, to me, sounds like a loss/loss on the survivor side. Either you don't do gens and get timed out, or you try to clear a gen and get downed.
Also, what's to stop these teams from achieving similar with other, less conspicuous perks? One guy with Botany can achieve CoH speeds.

One guy with botany can achieve it for himself, one guy with COH achieves it for the full team. Not to mention, its not so much as the healing speed boost, its that they can do it without the help of anyone.

@Firellius said:
CoH is not that strong anymore. It doesn't save enough time. It's just very high visibility, which is why it's popular and why it comes up as a possible reason why you're losing.
I wouldn't be surprised if the average win-rate for builds with CoH is actually lower than for builds without it.

You can't honestly say COH isn't strong. The time saved doesn't matter when you cant apply pressure. Survivors can chip at gens quicker then most killers can defend them and with COH it makes it so you HAVE to dedicate almost every single chase. It creates a damned if you do damned if you dont situation where if you commit you lose gens but if you dont then they heal and jump straight on a gen. A good team (not even a 4 man) can abuse the hell out of COH with little to no effort

They aren't gonna change a thing about the visuals
Whether that's because they value their artists vision too much or simply because they don't care about how consumers feel about it, I'm not sure
The Power will stay basically the same with numbers buffs and maybe 1/2 extra side things at best
I'm not being pessimistic, BHVR works in patterns and that's the pattern.

Good. She has a good design nothing needs to be changed

in Should BHVR take the L on this chapter and announce changes Comment by HamsterEnjoyer February 17, 2023

Last time we had a 6 month gap between chapters (Ver 1.9.4 - 2.0 I believe) it was a huge tank in playerbase and in overall online content. The game went down to 22,000 players average from like 33,000 and it was lowest it had been in quite a long time.

This playerbase needs constant new things to play with otherwise everyone gets bored and leaves its sad to say but its true

This is gaslighting.
People would have the exact same issue if it was a 50 year old tall man.
Trickster is male and received tons of negative feedback on his look. Legion and DS if female would have received the exact same reactions because they actually have better looks. It has nothing to do with their gender.
If you look for discrimination in everything, you'll see discrimination in everything, that's confirmation bias. Literally not a single person has complained about her being female. We have tons of female killers that people love and were received very warmly.

Except I'm the last person to look for discrimination its just obvious why people hate her design. It's an actually good design that fits her lore and theme yet people are extremely pissed because she's not tall male killer or monster. Trickster got a mixed bag of love and hate she's just getting hate :/
