Nurse. She ignores physical boundaries and determines chases and game results exclusively through player skill versus player skill in mindgaming, not things out of either side's control irrelevant to skill. Also performs balanced at all levels of play.

Second closest would be Blight. Can't bypass physical limits, but can make do with almost any tile or object in the game except for a very few, thanks to the mix of bump logic and sliding he was designed with intentionally, as well as flicking.

She's in a spot of perfect balance. She doesn't need any changes, except to Torn Bookmark.

Thing is, you can visually see the difference between 2 90 degree flicks, and the difference between a flick turned into an m1. Yet, I've still seen people do greater than 90 degree flicks without visual confirmation consistently.

The only other way to do it with no add-ons is to use a third party program (lag flicking). I dunno what to tell you.

Blight is fine, but Alchemist's Ring needs some sort of change though. And 180 hit Blight is not an intended feature, it's an exploit. So that needs to be changed, too.

"Slam:
Minimum Angle of Attack: 45 °
This refers to the minimum Angle at which The Blight must hit an obstacle's hitbox to initiate a Slam, otherwise he will slide past it.
"
This can be exploited by looking up or down. Just to add it in, since this is another exploit on Blight that was even abusable on super close corners which should be Blight's weakest position, not his strongest. That's like giving Nurse aura reading through walls or giving her 3 blinks basekit.
The original flick was made 180 degrees, at which point it was decided it was too powerful and lowered to 90 degrees. Now there should be a max of 120 degrees with 2 addons. Doing 100 degrees+ flicks with no addons is not intended and will (eventually) be patched.
And no, it cannot be mindgamed unless you know what the blight is doing. Newsflash, you wont as flicking doesnt have a different visual effect. Oni's flick DOES have different visuals since his head moves with the camera, Blight doesnt.
If a flick needs things that can

Sorry, but the two of you are just plain wrong. It’s done by either pre-turning 90 and then flicking 90, or by flicking, M1 to reset turn cap, and flicking again during the M1. The first example is just a 90 flick, just facing a different way when starting the rush. The second example is an intentionally coded mechanic:

https://www.twitch.tv/mclean_yep/clip/AmorphousFaithfulKleeTheTarFu-jPzbiLNS-Dku-899

The first part of this video is talking about J-flicking, an old exploit where super high DPI was able to break the 90 frame turn cap in a single frame, which was fixed. You cannot go past 90 in a single frame anymore. You either pre-turn, or flick, attack, and flick again in the new frame, since it is 90 per frame. And mindgaming it involves just putting yourself where he is not. If you think he's going for a 180 flick around something, don't be there, take a different direction. If you read him right, you evade the hit. If you didn't, you get hit. That's how mindgames work.

Just because an exploit is relatively hard to learn doesnt make it any less of an exploit. Clairvoyance was very hard to learn to exploit with, and that exploit was one of the few reasons why the perk was actually good in comparison to things like Detective's Hunch, for example. It wasnt even an amazing exploit either and actually very easy to counter too. Oni's exploit is kinda easy to avoid too. Blight's exploit? Not really, if the Blight knows what they are doing, it's always a hit. Hence it needs to be fixed. I am assuming it will be (somewhat) fixed by the time they rework Alchemist Ring.

First of all, the creator of Blight literally made flicking like that an intended feature.

Second of all, it can be mindgamed, which is what you are supposed to be doing anyways.

in NERF BLIGHT ASAP!!!!! Comment by SuzuKR April 7, 2022

Cause it’s a ridiculously insane amount of work for not enough payoff. Music, trailer, story, voice effect acting, 3D model, animations, coding an ENTIRE character into the game, add-ons, future skins, perks, etc. Also people usually have god-awful ideas on balance/design.

Neither do I, balancing the game around FOV is just silly and giving a slider wouldn't actually hurt anything serious in balance besides giving a long-needed qol

I think the original intention of skirting around giant blind spots should just be removed entirely, to be honest. Even with up to 103 (FOV with Shadowborn), there will still be blind spots, so it's not like it completely kills it either. Just means things like running up to the killer or being right beside the killer will not be possible, which I don't consider a meaningful loss.

in Is There a Reason a FOV Slider Hasn't Been Added? Comment by SuzuKR April 6, 2022

There are no broken killers, which I agree on. I'd say Blight is a lot stronger than Spirit personally.

If the player knows how to play the nurse, you cannot do anything. Also, some build are really broken with her.
Scourge + agittion
Starstruck + agitation
Starstruck + make your choice
etc...

Fun fact, there are players that also know how to play against the Nurse on an equal level. And actual evidence proves that said even match ups lead to ~2K average for the Nurse.

in What's the point of the Nurse? Comment by SuzuKR April 6, 2022

BHVR's stated reason is this game is balanced around a limited FOV, intentionally allowing survivors to evade a killer by skirting through blind spots. Personally, I don't think that's a good design ethic.

in Is There a Reason a FOV Slider Hasn't Been Added? Comment by SuzuKR April 6, 2022

I don't know why people keep bringing up good or god Nurse players as if that matters in the slightest bit. There are good and god survivors, and all data proves they perform evenly against each other when actually matched up that way. Matchmaking putting good or god players against worse players does not mean something is overpowered.

in What's the point of the Nurse? Comment by SuzuKR April 6, 2022

Eh, some add-ons need nerfs or reworks, like Alchemist Ring/C33/Torn Bookmark/blink range/Tombstone Piece. But there are zero killers that need basekit nerfs. Most things people think are unbalanced is more of just a matchmaking or solo vs SWF balance issue.

in No killer needs a nerf- most of them are balanced or need a buff. Comment by SuzuKR April 6, 2022

Lol that’s not the point. When you get good enough with Nurse (an unbelievably overrated skill ceiling) then she completely breaks the game.

Proof?

Why are so many ppl still crying/complaining about it?
Is it that important to you?
Will this make Legion the new S tier killer and beat Nurse?
For real yes it is weird and dumb but in the other hand, who cares? It doesnt effect or weaken Legion at all so why making such a big deal out of it?

Because it’s something that holds them back for no good reason? Why do you feel the need to mock people bringing up critique as “crying/complaining”? Be a better person.

BHVR has outright said they have to keep certain killer perks weak because otherwise they'd be OP on Nurse. It's clear she's unhealthy for the game because the devs have to tiptoe around her.

Feel free to give a source for that claim. Perks good on her have been buffed repeatedly, and perks good for her have been released repeatedly.

That would really improve the perk, yeah. But on a 4-man swf, that might be overboarding, since one survivor having it would be able to increase the timer for each and every (struggle) hook.
https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/comment/2887200#Comment_2887200
I was thinking the same. What if it just increased your hook timer without any conditions? I don't think that would be to powerful, since it would only come in clutch with camping. Or highly organized SWF, but they are difficult to beat regardless, and it also would drain out some other second chance perk.
I would also like it if the perk would activate on both phases, but that could proove problematic with swf as well.

Unconditional increase is completely busted, as there are a lot of situations it’s detrimental to not camp. In the hands of good players that can force the killer into situations it’s stupid to not camp, it’s even more exacerbated. Same with both phases. It’s already enormously strong as is in a coordinated team. The only change it needs is letting the other survivors see the survivor has it.

in Do you think this is a good change for Camraderie/Kinship? Comment by SuzuKR April 5, 2022

This sort of idea was tested and scrapped for being abused. Being able to activate it by yourself is the problem, since you can force the killer into a lose-lose where it’s stupid to not camp, but doing so punishes them anyways.

in Do you think this is a good change for Camraderie/Kinship? Comment by SuzuKR April 5, 2022

I don’t know why people have this weird idea Nurse holds back balance for other killers. It’s blatantly wrong. Plenty of perks that are good on her have been buffed before. Plenty of perks that are good or even amazing on her have been released. What on earth are y’all even talking about?

It's a mentality issue, not a Nurse issue. People need to stop quitting/DCing/suiciding just cause the match isn't how they want.

oh but it is tho. everybody knows they are BY FAR the strongest duo in the game, and then Spirit comes in third place...
im not even gonan talk about blight addons wich u know are overpowered like his ring, compound 33, or his new vial...
then u have nurse wich any kind of counter she ever had (she doesnt really have any but if u guessed right) by making edistance is erased with distance addons or double recharge... tthey are op and their addons make the experience unberable. and everything they say is right

There will always be a strongest. That doesn’t mean they need a nerf. Alchemist Ring and Torn Bookmark are the only real major issue add-ons. The basekit killer powers are both completely fine.
