I'm begging y'all. Please run DS. killers are tunneling and camping far more and it kills me to see y'all die like so quickly just because you refuse to run a perk that was nerfed. All the camping and tunneling you go through is on you, not the killer.

DS is not the answer to tunneling, it's merely a temporary solution.

Players should learn how to run killers, and to focus on gen rushing if a killer IS tunneling.

This was just something I was thinking about recently ever since huntress got her add on pass. It feels like the devs are definitely biased towards certain killers and there’s no better example then what happened with billy.
So it was common consensus during Billy’s prime that the only issue he had were his add ons mainly the charge time ones. Pretty much everyone including a lot of very good billy players wanted these changed.
So when billy finally got his long awaited add on pass what did we get? A bunch of useless add ons (And one good one) and an unnecessary mechanic that turns new p,Ayers off of him and encourages the billy to avoid using his power.Not only this but on the PTB they thought the overheat which was meant to be very tame didn’t do enough so they nerfed his heat recovery by quite a lot. And since then the devs haven’t said one single word about him.
This brings me onto our other killer the huntress. Similar to billy huntress was in a great spot only needing minor changes. These changes were fixes to her hitboxes and the reworking of add ons (Namely exhaustion and iri head)
So what did we get? Unlike clown, doctor and demo huntress actually got to keep her exhaustion add on and they still haven’t given a reason as to why. Iri head got a boring albeit needed rework and most annoyingly of all her hitboxes stayed the exact same.
The devs old excuse for her truck sized hitboxes were that the game was more casual and didn’t need precise hitboxes. This argument literally falls apart once you realise slinger and trickster both exist. Why make billy harder to play with a micromanaging overheat system while huntress doesn’t even have to be slightly more precise?
For anyone saying that hitbox changes would cause issues with cross map shots or just long range shots in general I have an easy solution . Your hatchets hitbox will become bigger the longer it is in the air so that cross maps stay virtually the same while shots around loops and other tiles feel more fair for both sides.
Overall it just feels like the devs have some bias when it comes to changing killers which is not a good thing in the slightest

Why would they 'buff' the hatchets from a distance? A huntress shouldn't be rewarded for launching her hatchets unless she is actively trying.

For me it's cheating

It's not cheating.

The absurd thing about this game is that they've yet to implement a voice chat system within the game. That would mean that survivors could purely be balanced around the idea of swf instead of considering swf AND solo survivors

Lately I no longer see anyone using any Memento from either Cypress, Ivory and Ebony in my games when I play survivor. Maybe in your case it is different, but lately in mine I don't see any sign of memento mori. Is it because the rate of increase of the use of the 3 offerings has dropped considerably after the nerf they gave? Since before they used it a lot and eliminated the 1 hanging hook.

They actually nerfed moris?

3:34:15 , the pig match. This match shows why dbd is still not ready as a game and for it's mechanics. Pig is too weak of a killer, and with only a dash that can't counter pre dropped pallets and big loops the gens just fly very fast to 2 gens until traps (RNG based) don't do enough because you're not gonna use all of them before the exit gates get powered.
To conclude devs, I'd balance the weakest killers and nerf the really op perks before even doing a tournament

LOL, this game has championships now? How long have I been gone?

Survivors aren’t entitled to 2 extra chances. They’re simply an available possibility. If a survivor gets caught and hooked, they need to accept that they may very well die, hence be more careful in the first place.
If the game were intended that survivors should be 100% guaranteed 2 additional chances, then the game wouldn’t have a hook system but a respawn system instead.

The killer isn’t entitled to kills either?

I fail to see how Oni is so Oppressive.
He has the worst early game of all killers, and. An heavily countered by playing very safe within loops.
As for Demo and Fredy , I do agree that Fredy is one of the strongest killers in the game, though if we measure him against a strong SWF team, which is quite frequent on console, he's fine as is.
On the other hand, demo struggles really hard against good teams. Same problem as deathslinger, they just cant handle good survivor.

Oni has amazing pressure - many of his players have also figured out how to counter his weaknesses and nearly ALWAYS run corrupt invention.

His power is also very dumb because he can essentially never run out if the Oni plays smart as all it takes is to smack a survivor and this essentially forces them to heal ASAP as a way to stop the Oni from farming on them - which derails the game for the survivors.

on top of this - the dumbest thing about his power is that he doesn’t suffer from collision when using it. Behaving as a better Billy lol

Except the difference is that Freddy's teleport goes away when there's no Gens to port to. His snares can only get him so far, he's essentially just an M1 Killer with blood lust. Demo can close gaps quickly with his shred. Demo is a good Killer, fun to play, you just don't see it often.

But we’re going to ignore that 80% of the game happens when gens are available for Freddy to teleport to? ONE of his powers only stops when it’s end game and from experience - that doesn’t happen often with Freddy

As an oni main I can't agree. All those corridors and sharp turns plus hard tracking will kill oni. You will know if you play him on it.

I’ve played against a lot of rank 1 Onis, and the only real issue will be some of the classrooms but generally speaking I can’t imagine why an Oni would try to run through those classrooms.

again - this isn’t really that much of an Oni issue, but a play style issue lol

Especially mobility killers like oni and billy

Eh, Oni will be fine since he doesn’t have collision - whereas someone like hillbilly might be weak on this map because there are multiple objects that can get in your way if you’re not careful - the hallways seem to be the only good thing going for him but most players won’t be spending their times in the hall ways lol

@NeonAlien said:
What are your thoughts?
As a survivor (with orientation like a brick): it is very hard to navigate. The two levels are difficult (only one way up as far as I can tell) and the closed breakable doors/walls and long hallways and rooms really don't leave much choice in where to go.. especially hard against Killers kike Pyramid head, doctor, plague etc.
I like the aesthetics and details, it's a beautiful map (though I wish they chose the prison or theme park instead, since we already got a school map). Still, I'm not really into the harsh limits it presents to movement.

There will always be ATLEAST two ways to go up the levels - which are the stairs.

every room has another room connected to it - each room has some form of an exit whether a hole in the wall, floor or a door and each connection will have ATLEAST one pallet (some singular rooms even have one two pallets).

You can sometimes find ways to go up or down a level in the rooms - sometimes you can find ruins that act as a platform to walk - I’ve even seen one in the end of the bathroom with it being “out” of the map.

I believe that basement can only spawn under the stairs- there’s always a trap on one of the stairs as it will deceivingly lead you to a 3rd floor - this will usually be a trap and you’re most likely going to get hit/downed.

so far I’ve seen one safe loop - it’s the double room with the little “office” bit where there’s a vault. It’s not always a safe loop but sometimes the door is blocked off which forces the killer to go back through the other room or to vault.

for the biggest part - there is no reason to be in the middle garden bit - two entrances on the bottom floor and multiple drops from the second floor which make it actually quite unsafe.

i think killers that will work best on this map are probably Myers, Deathslinger, Ghostface mainly because whilst there are quite a lot of obstacles in the classrooms - there isn’t always ways to hide from these killers as the vaults and etc always seem to be medium-small sized.

generally speaking - I don’t think this map is any-sided. Whoever has the best knowledge of this map will utilise it the best but the map is pretty confusing.

Thats antimomentum right? its not fair 1 min of inmunity same should be for killers

That would be fine and dandy if there were alternatives for survivors to use in prolonging a chase.

there are already killers that literally focus on prolonging the game - Pig, Plague, Freddy, Trapper because they have second objectives and that breaks the momentum of the game - same with totems.

there is literally no reason for one of the core mechanics to suddenly cuck a survivor over because the killer was being too greedy and got stunned instead of backing out. One of the things that a killer has to learn is to bait out the pallet without being stunned - likewise, a survivor also has to learn how to bait the killer into a stun. There DOESNT need to be a third party involved that rewards a killer for a bad play because killers already have plenty of those in the form of perks. (Same with survivors but we aren’t talking about them here). Putting something like that in the game will reduce the skill of a killer but also make pallets totally useless

I always found that to be a gross way of representing the community and using them more as tokens than actually creating an Character that happens to be gay. Being LGBT should be normalised and not used as a personality trait and I wouldn’t mind if through the tome, we find out that so and so are LGBT as long as it’s done correctly

I wonder when these perks will be reworked...
DS despite what devs says its antitunnel perk,we all know but whatever... antimomentum... (I want an antimomentum perk like if i get hit with a pallet I get a skillcheck and if i hit it that survivor get instadown).They should remove invencibility if u repair and enter in a locked (locker is antimomentum as hell,basically lose the thrill of the chase like I reach my house so the wolf cant do me anything).
On the other hand OoO could be something like survivor get a buff on certain actions if he escape from the killer and killer get a buff if they land a hit.That would be an interesting mechanic.Only works if you are the obssesion of course.

@danielmaster87 said:
We can debate all day about if it's fair or if it's a crutch, but see it for what it is: a 2nd chance. We talk about 2nd chance perks and stuff, but when you think about it, 2nd and 3rd chances are actually built into the core game.
How the survivors do on gens is irrelevant since it spawns no matter what, either when enough gens have been done or if there is just 1 survivor left. And people argue hatch is fair because a survivor can jump in, but not if the killer closes it first. That's the 2nd chance, and it's 100% RNG.
THEN for whatever reason, closing the hatch powers the gates, even if it was opened with a key. The killer can intercept the survivor opening the gate or they can't get there in time, and the survivor escapes. That's the 3rd chance. Therefore the initial defense of "But you can just close hatch!" is invalid, because even after that the survivor has a way out. Not to mention that the survivors could find another key and escape through it a 2nd time.
Can you kind of see why I want hatch removed? Killers have nothing like hatch, no 2nd chances built into the game. I don't want one either, because neither side should have that. Hatch is not skill-based. It's just something that exists for no good reason, and leads to a drastically different match result. If you want to defend it still, you must own that you're using a 2nd chance mechanic.

Hatch exists for two reasons if I’m not mistaken -

Before Hatch, the survivor would just hide and not open gates - generally because a killer could easily patrol each gate and not let the survivor escape.

Survivors can also be heavily punished by the actions of other survivors. What this means is - someone could be doing everything that they possibly can in their match and be left to be the last one standing - having hatch means that a killer isn’t rewarded for bad plays (by having the last survivor essentially being a free kill) and also gives the survivor a chance to still escape.

putting all of that aside - I’m pretty sure the hatch is killer sided as I’ve had plenty of times where I’ve been waiting on hatch and spamming the button to jump in - the killer comes by and magically shuts it right in front of me. Lol

The only things that are behind a paywall are certain cosmetics and licensed characters. Many popular games lock their cosmetics behind a paywall, such as Rocket League and Overwatchs Esports cosmetics.
Additionally, the only chapters behind a paywall are licensed characters due to how iconic they are.
Finally, Dead by Daylight is a company, there main goal as any is to make a profit, and personally they're not near as greedy as other companies.

Since when is Jane, Plague, Zarina, Yui, Deathslinger, Oni, Spirit, Adam licensed killers? They’re not.

Overwatch’s OWL cosmetics are purely optional and are a way for the community to willingly contribute towards funding for OWL.

The matter of fact is, DBD DOESNT need to have so many paywalls behind things because it is a game that you have to pay a significant amount for.

using your example of OW, OW costs around £15-£50 depending on platform and edition, and for the 4 years that it’s been out, it’s been releasing content freely for the community at no extra charge. Content that generally surpasses the quality and quantity that DBD does despite the constant requirement to pay for things.

It can be that Killer doesnt scare the survivors,more likely survivor scare the killer.

But they do have downsides.

Unbreakable can only be used if the killer is slugging for whatever reason (which is the fault of the killer if they let a survivor on the ground for too long) and it’s a one time perk.

deadhard is an exhaustion perk, and it’s one of the worst as it only creates small distance compared to other exhaustion perks.
