I think using the bottles for mobility is not terrible but NOT using them to cross the map. Instead you throw one ahead of you when you're closing distance with a survivor, you may be able to reach them before they get to a strong loop or cut them off to coral them into an area where there are no pallets, etc.

Agree but when you already see survivors where you can throw a bottle at them means you've already crossed the map so it's a chase power a that point, not a mobility tool. It's the same when huntress lands a map /half map long hatchet, kind of mobility but not really.

Don't forget about the massive reload speed buff! That's a huge factor since it makes using your bottles much less costly.
My first impression of the sonic tonic has been a really good one. I absolutely love the idea, and as I was reading your post, I was already thinking up some bottle placements and movement strategies for some loops.

Yes yes, it helps a lot but the more you relord overall the more time you waste also. That's why I think it can't ever be viable to throw bottles all the time to get better mobility when you then don't have bottles for chases. A lot of reloding is bad for clown even when it's faster then before.

People here doing their best to make Freddy worthless again. "His sleep needs to go / Snares need to go / Teleporting needs to go", like really, you just want bland M1 killer with no power that's easy to loop, we have enough of that already in the roster.

Freddy can use some small balance tweaking in NUMBERS, not completely removing significant parts of his kit.

Watch as they fix this (if it's true, didn't test it myself yet) when it's the best thing that could happen to this perk since it's release and forget about it for next year or so.

I really hope it's true and that one of my favourite perks ever designed is finally out of "utter garbage" tier.

I played LB just right now and did they already buffed it?
Every time I get full health it resets. So the only way to get it "used" aka deactivated is to be injured for 180 seconds.

That's 100% a bug then. It always worked like this - you have 180s and healing only pauses the timer and once injured it continue to tick down from where it stopped. That's why it should get some kind of a buff as it's extremely underwhelming compared to perks like Iron will that last indefinitely.

Even a buff like you just said would be welcomed if they decide not to make it permanent effect, just anything would be good.

in I hope they forgot to mention Lucky break Comment by Kebek January 10, 2021

The problem is, survivors are already spamming keys so much more since the mori nerf because they know keys are next on the chopping block. It would be nice of the devs if they delayed the mori nerfs and released them at the same time with key nerfs but that's not really possible anymore.

I hope the key changes will at least be good. Not some half-assed changes that don't solve the main problems killers have with key escapes.

Personally one of my favorite updates in this release. I've been playing with the updated Fixated in playtests for a while, and I really like it.

I don't mean to pry but wasn't Lucky break mentioned some time ago to be getting changes as well ? I really hope you guys have plans for it too.

Both, simple effective killers are equally important to have as hard to play strong ones are.

in Do you want Killers with high or low skill cap? Comment by Kebek January 4, 2021

With this level of safety on a pallet you might want to consider only vaulting since if you won't run, you won't trigger chase and thus no BL. I'd say that's the only way to avoid BL so if you manage to read the killer enough, you can force him to break the pallet but you need to be on point with your timing & predictions on pallet vaults.

in What do you do to counter bloodlust? Comment by Kebek December 22, 2020

I'd so love to see some shape buffs. Even when he's not the worst killer, good looper can shut him down pretty hard and deny him stalks for a while if they break LOS well.

T1 needs some buffs the most, it makes him the worst early game killer which is a damm shame. T3 could also use some small updates to make it a bit more scary.

in How about shape buff ? Comment by Kebek December 15, 2020

I don't understand where this "devs don't care about survivors, killers have it too easy" mentality is coming from. There wasn't any real survivor nerf since 3.7. when gen speeds got slightly tweaked, other then that it was all map reworks which aren't survivors nerfs any more then when infinites got removed, new maps aren't aimed to be nerfs to survivors but intend to give both sides more chances to outplay each other. If for some reason too many deadzones spawn or something, it's the same as when back in the day 20+ pallets spawned making the game insane for killers and will get further changes eventually. Bad RNG is something that's we'll leventually get rid off if it become problematic enough to warrant changes.

Hit validation is different for all players so it's probably not as simple of a fix as many would like it to be. I feel sorry for anyone who gets bad hits consistently but other then playing killer or waiting till it gets updated, there isn't much that can be done. Bad hits as well aren't intended so counting them as dev killer bias or some kind of survivor nerf (especially compared to the OG lagswitching that was far far worse) when they want them gone is also equally foolish.

PH and slinger beiing boring is pretty subjective so even when you don't like them doesn't warrant changes when there are others who enjoy facing them, especially when they aren't all that overbearing power wise, they have their weaknesses.

I don't really want to argue over DBD's balance state (just sharing my thoughts) but if you enjoy killer more you probably should forsake survivors for time beiing and just play killer. If that gets boring or annoying too evenutally, just check out DBD everyone few months if the issues you hate are resolved and play something less frustrating in the meantime. I'm on a small break from DBD right now as there are some other games I really wanted to play as of lately.

in I was done but I guess not. Comment by Kebek December 14, 2020

Game is considered survivor sides at the highest level of play. Meaning if you get one extremely experienced killer who plays all killers really well and put againt him 4 all equally skilled survivors who know how to perfectly play their side vs every killer about 80% of all killers can't create enough pressure to beat such good survivors. With most killers you just can't get better to beat such survivor teams which is why top tier survivors are considered much stronger then top tier killers, meaning top tier DBD gameplay is survivor sided. Your average match is ofc much more balanced then that when you constantly face solo teams that hardly know how to loop M1 killers.

And such scenarios with top tier gameplay don't happen in even 10% of red ranks matches as ranking is horrible so DBD's high level of play is polluted with bad players creating the illusion that all killers consistently win when in reality it's the incompetence of survivor teams that's losing their games, not the killer beiing too good or power wise stronger.

Overall DBD is survivor sides in terms of best players facing off but decently balanced in your average solo game. Problem lies in that survivors can always get better and/or play SWF to get massive advantages, killers at certain point can't do nothing more then wait until survivor makes a mistake and if it's not soon enough they'll lose automatically once enough gens are done. Even killers that don't have to wait for mistakes struggle with survivors who pressure gens properly so when you play killer that isn't one of them you're at mercy of survivor's inability to play the game well.

TL:DR Best survivors have much higher chance to beat the best of the killers making top tier DBD gameplay survivor sided, survivors can always improve, killer hit a ceiling vs best of survivors. In solo games, both sides have good enough odds against each other assuming ranking works at least half decently.

in how is this game survivor sided tell me? Comment by Kebek December 13, 2020

Fun is in choice of playstyle. If they have fun camping/tunneling you can't deny them that.

in Camp. Tunnel. Camp. Tunnel. Camp... Comment by Kebek December 11, 2020

Even when it's not completely accurate as old killers constantly complained as well, the reason why it may seem like there wasn't as much complaining even when survivors were ten times stronger was because they were also ten times worse at playing the game.

Also the complains today are imao pretty justified, people are upset at messy changes as they should be. Even you post every now and then how devs can't properly fix hit validation basically complaining and you're not wrong.

If the changes were better, people would complain less but alas the changes even when healthy for the game were rushed so people voice their opinion on it.

in Anyone else remember? Comment by Kebek December 11, 2020

Is it really that suprising ? Whenever each side gets any changes that don't benefit them they'll make 100 posts per day about it right besides another 100 posts about tunneling/camping, gen rushing/looping.

If the changes were better, there would be less posts about it. They should have taken more from the feedback on mori changes that were posted over the years and also release them simultaneously with key changes.

They decided to raise number 1 to 2 rushing the mori changes and not even release both with the keys at the same time so people are upset him with badly it was all handled.

in Why do we need 1000 new posts about Mori's Comment by Kebek December 10, 2020

They 100% should have waited and changed both at the same time. I really don't know why they had to rush with the mori changes and couldn't wait for the key changes to go both live together when they'd be ready.

in The mori nerf shows a double standard Comment by Kebek December 10, 2020

I though survivors were againt the idea of robbing someone from playing full match. Keys allow that, so they should be render equally usefull as mories are now.

Keys are only weak when the players using them are incompetent. Good team with a key is as powerfull as pre-nerfed mories were. There's no excuse to not nerf them equally hard.

in Pls Devs don't Nerf keys Comment by Kebek December 10, 2020

Lucky break buff.

in What small gift you want for Christmas? Comment by Kebek December 9, 2020

Despite the mori nerf being extremely lazy which sucks, I'd be ok with it if keys get the same treatment.

I swear, if they eventually change keys and it'll be only minor tweaks and not complete annihilation (deserved one at that) allowing usefulness in only a few edge cases as now mories have, it'll be even bigger disappointment.

At this point I think they might even completely remove both and nobody would miss either.

in The reason the mori nerf was so simple Comment by Kebek December 9, 2020

What I don't understand the most is why couldn't they wait with this change (even as bad and lazy as it is) to be paired with the key changes. It's not likey they were on a schedule to meet some expectations or make money out of them.

Now so many more games have keys in them because the mori nerfs are foreshadowing the key nerfs to everyone just spams key which is what they wanted to evade with mori changes.

in Very Disappointed in the Devs decision to not nerf keys as well as moris. Comment by Kebek December 8, 2020

Mainly survivors wanted to make them 2nd hook as anyone who ever used them understood how bad/useless would mories become if they worked only after 2nd hook. There were far better ideas to change them then this super lazy change.

Purple tombstonwe is not even that good (bc. you are slowed down), tombstone piece works better. Furthermore, I find tombstone trials to be very boring, for both survivor and killer. And it's a sure way for ALL to depip, besides minimal BP gains. There's just no reason to use tombstone unless you want to get Evil Incarnate.

I think you've mistaken purple tombstone for a pink one as I said I was using the purple one which doesn't slow you down.

Yeah and I don't like to face basic M1 killers while love facing killers like nurse, spirit, PH and slinger that others mostly hate facing. Pips & BP mean extremely little to me but I love using tombstones so I'll use all of them while they are subjectively fun for me to use.
