I just want to clarify something: people tend to get very passionate about their opinion and about their words, which is fine, but the issues start when this line gets crossed and they fall into insulting.
Constructive criticism is completely fine, but insults and personal attacks are not, and this is where the misconception starts: we do not punish people for their opinion or their criticism, but at the same time we cannot ignore people purposely insulting while explaining their position.

Thanks. In theory, you are right of course, and this is not neccessarily directed towards you. Recent events lead me to believe otherwise when it comes to practice, though.

While I do perfectly understand and have related a similar message before, I no longer agree with it in its entirety. Not after some of the behaviour I have send endorsed.

Let me put it this way. In my line of work, I´ve had to rather strongly bring people to back down and not push things even when they were in the right. In the past, I´ve worked with people that can´t be argued with. They will take any oppurtunity to hurt and abuse people in extreme ways. So in order for them not to get hurt unneccessarily bad it was the better deal to just leave it be.

If the devs do something stupid I'm not gonna ignore it, and its dumb to just never talk about them, you should never cross certain lines of course but shirking criticism is how many games have crashed and burned before and I still like this game and want it to succeed.

Personally, I´d also appreciate the oppurtunity to criticise certain things, but ultimately I´d be banned for that. Although I phrased it as vaguely as possible as not to violate the naming and shaming rule, this post refers to a specific set of circumstances which I can not specify any further.

You guys should play tournaments. I´m constantly rank 1 and 95% of the time I play Myers, Trapper and Clown. They are just fine against all but the very best teams unless map rng is horrible for the Killer, they use Object or the map is Ormond (or any combination of these).

I acknowledge though that this is partly rooted in the fact that most teams do not use the tactic of spread out - do the important gens - profit.

If he decided to take over the balance team, Chuck Norris would make DBD balanced by tomorrow.

in Who would YOU add to the balance team? Comment by Slashstreetboy October 30, 2020

I've seen rather mean comments here claiming people just suck at him and feel entitled to an overpowered kit.

Old billy was overpowered against underperforming survivors. The truly skilled survivors are impossible to chainsaw at many, many tiles.

This is why among the experienced crowd old Billy was considered very close to the sweet spot one could consider balanced in a game like DBD.

Certain addon combos were too strong, especially for their rarity. I've only ever seen the most biased and ignorant people call for a basekit nerf (overheat and messed up animations).

If they just made charge speed not stack, everything would have been fine imo.

Instead, they struck him with a truckload of -sorry- garbage addons. Nice for memeing, exceptionally bad for gameplay. But he roars now....

I find it unfair to shift the blame on the players only. It's rather telling that a recently reworked character drops in popularity to such a massive degree.

I´m convinced it´s the least balanced map. Strong middle building literally surrounded by 4-7 jungle gyms, shack, and 6-12 filller pallets, each and every one 100% safe. It´s like a window into the past where every map was like that.

Add to that that scratch marks are almost non existent and you get Ormonds full glory. It´s not without reason that the sweatiest Survivor players love to use an offering to get that map - if your squad is decent, it´s very hard to lose on this map as Survivor.

Yeah, it does counter trapper, but there are plenty of perks that counter specific killers' kit, so OoO isn't any different here - e.g. DH vs nurse, iron will vs spirit and so on. It's pretty annoying, but there are plenty of offenders in that category.
On your second point - a lot of things in this game are OP. Thing is, people actively choose not to use them in that way, because it makes their own game boring - just a few examples: using OoO to give your team a head start, using iri heads as huntress, 99ing sprint bursts, 1st hook mories, keying out of hatch at 1 gen left, 'forever' killer builds and so on - the list could go on.

None of your examples are counters to the extend Object is against Trapper though. Not even close, man.

The rest you mentioned is kinda pointless here, since we´re talking Object and not Iri Head, for example.

Survivors always have a head start. It's called your terror radius. That's unless you're playing a Stealth killer, most of will be undetectable anyway. The thing is, survivors often choose to stay at a tile, instead of using their head start. If a good OoO team has used that information against you, so you can never get into a chase with them, then you're pretty unlucky. No one plays like that unless they're pretty competitive and want to win at all costs, at which point they paid for their escape with a bunch of boring matches.
The point is, people calling out your location with OoO doesn't change much.

Unless you play Trapper that is. Or as you described they use object to add a massive headstart to every chase. It´s not extremely common, but it happens, and when a good team uses object well, it´s extremely OP vs many Killers.

in do you think OoO is ok? Comment by Slashstreetboy October 30, 2020

Aw man its gotten much harder since we can´t switch Killers in lobby anymore. You should have Megs, Dwights and Claudettes pretty fast just by playing LF, but I used to "snipe" the Jakes and always camp them to death till I had the masks.

You will have to bring lots of patience nowadays. Lobby dodging might take you too long, unless you are specifically looking far your last "face" to farm.

No matter what, when I play survivor I always end up being so altruistic you'd mistake me for a SWF partner, and it super backfires a LOT. I try gen builds, I try aggressive chase builds, and no matter what I always end up running over to take hits and pick people up just to take their place. I almost never run BT just because I will 100% always bodyblock if I have to go for an unsafe unhook, injured or otherwise. And... Free snowballs? But I can't help it, it's just so satisfying making sure everyone else survives for as long as possible.
Then on the killer side I cannot help but be super aggressive. Screw generators, screw good tactics, if I'm not chasing 3 people at once then I'm doing something wrong. Downtime is my enemy. Got 2 hooks next to each other? I'm probably on the other side of the map, trying to get a third while I blatantly ignoring all the advice I ever give other killers and possibly throwing the game.

Dude I can so relate to the 2 adjacent hooks thing. I find myself basically always leaving them to look for another Survivor, blissfully ignorant about the fact I have them by the throat right then and there. I can´t even explain why tbh.

in What's some playstyles (and bad habits) you always fall into? Comment by Slashstreetboy October 30, 2020

For me it´s very close between Myers and Trapper. Don´t make me choose!

My favorite Survivor would be Laurie, David, Kate or Jane. Don´t make me choose!

It's an exploit. Some people on Twitch, who actively play with Fog Whisperers have done this exploit, on stream, and nothing has been done. Actually - I think the person who did it ended up getting Dwightcrow codes to give away.

Yeah I´ve seen that too. Propably more people are aware of this now thanks to them...getting an exclusive charm doesn´t seem like an appropriate punishment for that imo.

Edit: It also happens "legitimately", some people I got to know over DBD that play SWF regularly had it happen to them, and they had no reason to lie about that to me.

That is very sad I have that thought, for a game I love. Survivors re-queue like braindead zombies knowing they are going to die. There is no fairness to that at all. I want to understand the psychological reasoning, that is all.

I guess they re-qeue because it´s fun to them?

In my case, what really helped dealing with the frutration was adjusting my mindset a bit. I can´t expect a 4k or Escape every match, this was especially healthy when I startet out back then. Idk, I just hope you´ll be able to enjoy the game again someday.

I honestly think you maye could consider taking a break. Your posts picture you as so sad, I don´t like that one bit. Maybe you´re a bit burned out from DBD?
