Just rotate the survivors by 90 degrees. Easy fix. They'll still be small but at least the smaller items will be viewable.

Not such a big deal now though as we don't have to lobby dodge keys any more.

Me and all my friends were entirely new to the game and we still won a little over half of all the matches when we play survivor. Usually when we lost it was a case of our own inexperience and making dumb mistakes. However as long as we were smart and fast we seemed almost garneted to win unless we were up against a killer who was very good at the game.
As survivor I made it to the bronze ranks by the end of our first session and so did one of my other friends.... as killer I couldn't even make it to white rank 3 until I started researching the meta to see how the top players play

You have been playing this game for a couple of weeks and think you understand the balance better than the devs who have been working on the game for years do?

Guess what? You do.

Punishing people because the other guy has worse internet

I often check the pings when I get my hits taken away. The survivor invariably has a bad ping.

I think the intention was that best ping should win but in reality it seems to be the opposite.

Interesting. Well I had really really bad luck with ds4 controllers. I had ps1, ps2, ps3 and never had such problems.
I won't buy a single ds4 again since they are not that cheap and it is pointless. I already have 3 of them.
They should at least try to make them somewhat durable. I had problem with drift on day 1 with one of them. Ridiculous. I wonder if ds5 is any better.

My DS5 only lasted a few weeks and the spring broke in the trigger. Now when I play survivor I keep accidently teabagging mid-chase leading to me getting tunnelled out of the game.

The TV series was really good too (and has been renewed) so there is a good financial reason to bring Chucky to DBD.

Brad Dourif might do the voice lines too!

The other thing to note is that analog sticks can ware out in such a way that holding up will actually be slower, when I only played on PS4 I went through 2 controllers and was on a 3rd before making the switch to PC.
The strange part was with my first controller I didn't notice it in other games for a significant amount of time. Survivor wasn't as noticeable but killer felt like walking through mud. It got to the point where 110 killers couldn't catch up in a chase until Bloodlust 2 kicked in, I would lose ground at 110, I would run about the same speed as survivors at Bloodlust 1.
Let us know the results if you decide to test.

This is the correct answer. A perfect controller is exactly the same as keyboard and mouse, when they start to wear out though, you might only get 99% of the full distance registering it. A controller pushed to 99% on DBD does NOT run at full speed!

To test your controller, plug it into a PC choose Set up USB Game Controllers Properties, if you move the controller all the way up, and then from side to side (i.e. top right al the way to top left) you might see a slight wiggle. Thats the sign that your controller is wearing and you won't get full speed.

You can test this in game with a race in a custom match, one on keyboard, one on controller although obviously you both have to play as survivors.

It was my favourite map too.

I hope the devs out of the kindness of their hearts give us a third map this year as our net map count has barely gone up in the last couple of years.

Then you cycle back into the matchmaking problem we had pre MMR which was when there was very few "Red Rank" players on Red rank queues were excessively long wait times until matchmaking had no choice but to expand parameters and just set up uneven matches just so people could play.
I'm not saying I want people to games that they stand no chance of winning, but matchmaking in DBD has always been hit or miss in some aspect. It is more important that people get into games, even bad ones, than it is to make sure everyone's arbitrary stat gate lines up. Especially since the system being used isn't account for what is actually the skill based parts of gameplay to begin with.

There just needs to be hard limits. I agree on expanding the matchmaking range to a point, but top SWfs should never under ANY circumstances be matched with players who are bad or new.

If few killer players are at a level that allows them to compete with the best SWfs then the devs need to review whether the balance of the game needs addressing. By now, I really hope that they have seen that there is an inbalance and there are so many good ideas by people on how to fix this at the top level.

I'm sure that if the devs were willing to listen to these ideas we could get more good killers back into the game.
