Still the same from the teaser they showed us 11 days ago, just the bleedout/hook timer bars are larger now.
Shame they didn't make the portraits horizontal.

It's still very bad, but it's an improvement over the last one. Anything would have been an improvement though so it's not saying much. Survivor portraits need to be horizontal. This takes up so much unnecessary space. And from the looks of it, the killer power/item icons are still not aligned with the perks.

@Hopesfall said:
Still needs adjusting IMO.. the score events are too high, and why don't they just put the portrait/gen layout like it was previously? What "future plans" require you to go vertical up the screen instead of grouping in a corner

Still hoping for that ping system that ScottJund suggested in one of his videos

I’m on Xbox, and you probably know that we got the 4.5.2 update early by accident. Played a couple games as survivor and can confirm that those hits have been fixed. Still have the stutter/frame drops for killer on console though for those who were hoping that’d be fixed.

Anti Aim-Dressing

Why the "Anti" though?

It's dressing your aim quite nicely to the tree next to the survivor

Aim assist. It only takes effect when the game detects the killer's weapon intersects the survivor's hitbox. So the game doesn't move you to make the hit, you already did. Key difference between it and auto-aim.
What aim assist does do, it tries to make the hit center to the survivors hitbox. That way the hit doesn't feel off. The problem is this often moves the weapon into an environment hitbox instead of a survivor.
That's why I called it anti auto-aim.

They actually called it "Aim-Dressing"

Peanits explained it that auto-aim can connect hits that shouldn't have hit and aim dressing could rob hits that should have hit

@DetailedDetriment said:
Consoles have aim-dressing, a form of aim assist that is meant to compensate for playing on a controller against keyboards.

That's wrong though?

Aim dressing is a mechanic that ensures that hits look better (makes sure everything aligns properly)

All plattforms have that

The main reason I always see as to why people stopped playing Billy (And my reason too) is because he's not fun anymore and is the clunkiest-feeling killer in the game. I'm perfectly fine with the overheat, with add-ons it's nonexistent and addonless it's a minor inconvenience at best, but what I'm not fine with is the terrible camera and animations that have sucked the fun out of the killer entirely. If something doesn't look good I'm not gonna have fun playing that something, just look at how most people reacted to the survivor animation changes. Gameplay-wise, it's fine, but visually it's not nice to look at whatsoever and makes the game less fun and worse-feeling overall.

This ☝️

These weird animations plus the stupid damn roar whenever he charges makes playing him so unfun.

He and Plague are the killers i hate the most to play

BBQ will NEVER leave my perk slot,for any killer (even though it's certainly not the best use for all killers).

The information + extra points are just waay too good.It also doesn't have an insanely long cooldown like Thrilling.

I'm sure some people on both sides want that, but the difference is that the red rank and overall kill rates in DBD have never been below 50%, with the possible exception of red rank kill rate close to launch. The most recent stats show a 68% kill rate at red ranks, and much lower at all ranks (56%). Meanwhile the popular narrative on the forum is that killers are strong at low rank and weak at high rank, and that killers therefore need buffs to give them a fair chance at high rank (e.g. longer gen times, "early game collapse").
I'm not going to go so far as to say the kill rate must be 50% or the game is unbalanced. There is certainly going to be some noise in that number, and it'd also be better to see what's specifically going on in matches; for example, are killers getting a reasonable amount of hooks en route to that 2k average? Still, there are many on the forum that ignore this statistic entirely and persist with a "survivors OP" idea with the justification that hook suicides and sandbagging could be combining to substantially inflate kill rate, even though there are other factors like farming and granting hatch pushing the kill rate back down. That is speculative at best and doesn't pass the eye test.
Some will point to tournaments to say survivors are OP, while others dispute that survivor performance is even that good in tournaments. Still tournaments are not a good reflection of balance in the game. They routinely ban perks, items, add-ons, offerings, maps/realms, certain tactics (e.g. repairing while injured as survivor, camping/slugging as killer), etc. and they often have varied or unique win conditions (e.g. most BPs gained wins). Given all of these rules that impact how games will play out it's not reasonable to draw conclusions on overall game balance, and to my knowledge no one has even attempted to calculate kill rate over a sample of many tournaments to see how it compares so it's more of a gut feel thing than anything rigorous that survivors are performing well in tournaments. There's also no way of comparing skill between the participants without a functional MMR system, so that's another factor we can't control for. It's interesting with all of the added variables at play with tournaments and deviations from the base game that people are willing to discount kill rate because of their subjective impression of tournament results.
At the end of the day it's Behaviour's job to look at all of the available data and to balance the game accordingly. While I don't have access to the same data, I do feel they're steered the game in the right direction over the years. I haven't seen any compelling evidence to the contrary amidst the "devs bad" spam on the forum.
TL;DR If anyone has evidence to share that they feel is a compelling counterpoint to kill rate as far as balance is concerned, please share it. Otherwise, consider taking OP's point to heart.

Meanwhile the popular narrative on the forum is that killers are strong at low rank and weak at high rank, and that killers therefore need buffs to give them a fair chance at high rank (e.g. longer gen times, "early game collapse").

People talk about actual red rank.

It's very very easy to get into high ranks.It's more a matter of play time rather than actual skill.Combine that with the new rank reset and people pretty much never leave red ranks once they've reached it.

The kill rate right know is so high because most survivors you see are really really bad at the game.

I do feel they're steered the game in the right direction over the years. I haven't seen any compelling evidence to the contrary amidst the "devs bad" spam on the forum.

I agree,the balance is definetely the best it has ever been so far.However,the devs sure are a mixed bag when it comes down to balance.It's incidents like the Gearhead + Coup de Grace nerfs,Trappers state right now etc. that make people question their balance decisions.

No, mostly Killers cry for easy games. And most people know that.

I mean,i see a TON of nerf x killer and nerf x killer perk here.

It's more or less balanced between both sides

You could say the same about survivors too.
