Yes the Nurse is broken and should be reworked. Yet all those things you listed need to be unlocked through bloodwebs using Bloodpoints. Stuff like Ebony Moris aren't exactly common. You have to grind to get them.
SWF with voice coms is available from the start. It requires no blood points or grind to unlock. Best of all it provides all the survivor aura perks for FREE! This frees up perk slots for other more meta perks like DC, BT, SC, etc.

Most killers don't care about what survs are wearing (as long as it's not invisible Claudette), it's about items and SWF.Maybe you just had bad luck and got matched with other survs who wanted to bring lots of items into the game. Or another surv had a super bad ping.
I play solo surv without items on highrank daily and I don't come across those amount of problems.
I only equip medkit for heal faster or toolboxes for a ritual.. because I suck with flashlight's and i still get dodge.. But the people who i get matched EQUIP A LOT OF THINGS..
The killer doesn't know that you bring the toolbox for a sabotage daily and not for gens.
The killer doesn't know that it's a "normal" medkit and not an insta-heal.If a killer sees these items in a lobby, they always have to calculate whether they could handle x insta-heals and so on, because usually these items are not for sabo dailies and insta-heals are super common.
If the killer wants to play nurse, then they might accept a certain lobby while another killer who wants to play Freddy has to dodge.
I just dont care if someone join my lobby with 4 medkits I just enjoy the game And if I lose I move on and play another, are you serious.. Killer are scared of a [BAD WORD] toolbox? Just bring franklin's demise damn
I never dodge. If a match goes poorly and I'm gen rushed I'll just forfeit and go AFK.
But for other people a SWF group with items can easily be a frustrating and terrible experience for them. The game is not balanced around voice chat and when playing a low tier or slower killer it shows.
Most killers just want a fun match, like most survivors.

Whatever they do against SWF they need do it fast. Personally I think they should just add voice chat in game. Most survivors already use it and it's not going anywhere. Their original artistic intentions for the game were destroyed when they added SWF in the first place. They need to admit that and finally balance their game.
It's been 2 years of killers dealing with a broken feature. 2 years of Billys and Nurses only. 2 years of gen rush. 2 years of mandatory ruin. Enough is enough.

Maybe we finally get ghostface in the game?
No. Next killer is likely original again. It's confirmed to be the oldest killer in the game so far. So from 1800s or earlier.
I believe he was talking about the Chapter 12 killer not the upcoming Chapter 11 killer. It would not surprise me if we get 1-3 licensed killers this year.

Yes it seems like every match I'm spawning close by at least 1 other person.

Arroz said:It's funny how killer main complain about SWF teams with voice chat... But the game is nominated as "best with friends" at the steam awards .. what a coincidence,...
Its mostly becaise the game was built around solo play hence why bond and aftercare exists. Having an swf on comms has spme serious imbalances. You can run a object of obssesion uav drone that hangs around an obnoxious loop and constantly update your team on the killers position.
Gens are done faster as the team awares each other of any gen that are close to being done that a solo survivour could miss. Adrenaline is devastating on a co-ordinated team. If one survivour spots a hex totem everyone knows where it is. The list goes on but the point is swf still needs some tweaks. It shouldnt be removed.
The co ordination and advantages of swf should come with consequnces i.e. slower gen progression a single use mori for killer. Maybe two hooks states im spitballing ideas but its undeniable that swf is a little to strong and needs to be toned down in some way that gives the killer a chance.
The problem is voice chat and devs can't do anything because they are Third-party programs..
Oh the devs can certainly do something.
How about balancing the game around voice comms e.g.?That's a good idea
It is, but the devs refuse to add voice chat in-game or balance around it. Even with the majority already using voice chat because of SWF. It's silly. If the devs were so against voice coms they shouldn't have added SWF in the first place! This is the biggest problem with the game and the source of most other problems (genrush, Nurses & Billys only, toxic troll groups, ruin and BBQ in every match, etc.).
They say they want to buff solos to the level of SWF and then later buff/rework killers. The thing is they said that 1 year ago. They've done nothing major to close the gap between SWF and solos since then. Which even if they did the gap could only be truly closed by adding voice chat in-game, something they've ruled out. In the meantime killers are just supposed to bear and grin it with SWF or only play Nurse. This of course gets boring for survivors facing the same killer every time.

In game voice chat so then the game will finally be balanced around it.

If the ranking system worked properly, then it should be basically impossible to become rank 1 as freddy
The problem with the idea of making the ranking system actually a skill based rank system is that then the whole game would fall apart due to balance problems. Now they are kinda hidden besides all the potato players at rank 1
Do you mean balance problems among killers specifically, among killer-vs-survivors or else?
If the ranking system was solely based on skill no one would reach rank 1 but Nurses and genrush SWF teams. As of right now you can rank up playing a killer like Legion without even killing anyone! The devs refuse to deal with the major balance issues. Their ranking system is more a measure of how much hours you've spent into DbD than anything. It only really means anything once you get to ranks 5-10 and then the meta and killer tier list will decided if you rank up or not.

And well, regarding SWF... You cannot design a Multiplayer Online Game without expecting that friends would like to play together. And most of the SWFs are not Dickheads.The problem killers have with SWF is not that they're dickheads but that they have voice chat and the game was and still isn't balanced around that. No killer likes 5 minute genrush matches. They're boring.

They did the right choice because she's broken, and a nerf can come only if everyone disconnect.
Against a nurse i dont dc because in dont want a ban ofc but i let me die on the hook as fast possible for move into the next game.I understand the Nurse is OP, but dcing is poor sportsmanship. Imagine if killers dced against every SWF team? It should not be up to the players to risk bans to avoid game breaking stuff but on the devs to rework or nerf OP things.
-
TBH this is impressive OP. Never thought of combining multiple DS with multiple Unbreakables. That's nasty on the survivor's part.
-
I never disconnect as Survivor or Killer. That wouldn't be nice for the other people in the game. I will however suicide on the hook if the killer's ping is laggy as hell. As a killer if I'm losing badly to a SWF team I will stop trying to down people, and ignore the survivors.

The Developers have addressed this. Not in the werewolf context; however, killers like Dracula, and such have been defined as “too cliché”. However, they have thought of doing a transformative killer- so this may or may not lead us in the right direction in terms of killers.That argument went out the window when they added the Clown and Spirit. Both of which are variations of cliche killer tropes.
-
A mode where their are no scratch marks, terror radius, red stain, and solo survivors only would be neat. Stealth killers like the wraith would be fun as hell in such a mode.
-
I'd be fine with SWF as a killer main if they made it so matchmaking used an average rank of all members in the SWF squad and not just the survivor who is the host.
For instance if a 4 person group made up of a rank 2, rank 4, rank 5, and rank 16 played together and the rank 16 player was the one who invited the others into their game as of now they would be matched with a rank 14-18 killer. It's unfair and not fun for the killer.
