Not sure how anyone can look at sweeping Killer buffs across the board and Survivor nerfs across the board and really sit there and think "How'd things get worse?" for the weakest role (solo survivor) in the game. They basically super buffed tunneling and camping while making the M1 simulator side of Survivors even longer and more obnoxious with the regression/gen slowdown meta. And more perks that played into survivor/killer interaction were nerfed (DS and DH) to even further promote M1 and W... that's all you do.

They basically bowed down to the killer main mindset for a patch and gutted survivor side and buffed killer side. Some of the changes were needed or wouldn't be as bad on their own. But it was way too much at once. And how does anyone still excuse Blight, Nurse, and Spirit? These killers were doing swell before this patch, so why are they allowed to be so strong still?

I barely play now as I truly find VHS more engaging, but it clearly has it's own issues going on over there. The Wesker addition got me to come back. I didn't even get to play him though, Killer took too long to get matches and I had Weskers begging for longer matches cause they sat waiting for lobbies for 30 minutes. I had longer Q's as Killer on live as well... played Trickster and GF... didn't play slowdown perks... played nice... and still was scoring 2Ks not even going for Kills. Only when I did Twins did I fail and that was cause I don't know the Garden map at all, so I got loss in the building quite a few times. Not sure how all the Blights, Nurses, and Spirits on this board are still so bad that they lose more than they win. It's quite remarkable honestly. But alas, "skill" is only a Survivor issue on here and every Killer who loses a match was abused, neglected, and couldn't handle the mountain of stress that the Dev team has placed on them... please nerf Prove Thyself, Medkits, and the W key. Please and thank you, after those are taken care of we'll discuss nerfing Sprint Burst, Urban Evasion, and Ace... who should be as loud as Jane when injured cause it's not fair I couldn't hear him.

Also it's funny to see some of the circus shows the usual users on here put on to justify things. Whenever BBQ was questioned in power level, they always claimed they ONLY used it for the BPs. Guess what perk is still often used? BBQ. I thought the perk was fine after the locker aspect came into play, but it clearly wasn't used only for the BPs like so many high mobility killers try to pretend. Remember how IW was the answer to if you find Spirit overpowered? Now it's dumpster tier and was evidently too strong against the Killer bouncing around S and A tier. Cause got to keep the mostly naked school girl over tuned to promote skin sells to... people who like that type of motif.

And poor Calm Spirit. The 5 people who used it to counter Doctor were clearly using a secretly overpowered and busted meta.

So like for the longest, the only good Survivor perks that came out were Circle of Healing and MOM. Which were both attached to paragraphs for Survivor only. Everyone else released with D tier perks, C at best. And people wonder why Survivors had a meta consisting of OG perks pretty much since the dawn of time. Circle Of Healing was the only one that really shook things up, and I say that despite saying Killers stomping the damn boon totem should of the destroyed the totem from the get go and never been tagged onto a perk.

DBD is at an interesting new domain as Killers are more played than Survivors. Despite how many are pushing for more sweeping Survivor nerfs and Killer buffs, I'd wager this actually should be quite alarming on the contrast. You need 4 Survivors for every Killer. A shortage of either shouldn't be celebrated, but a shortage of the mass side... could quickly sink the ship if the whole isn't plugged.

Oni is the best designed Killer.

These ones are typically fun to engage with but have aspects that can be frustrating like truck sized hit boxes, broken reveal mechanics, being unstoppable in the open or hallways, and nullifying windows/pallets with power.

Next up are one that I didn't feel too strong one way or another. Some are just so basic and some the performance varies so much.

Then we got a bunch of the scummy killers. Tunnel The Trap Player, Salty Facecamper, Puts The Actual Player To Sleep, Blonic The Tinkerhog, Make Solos Regret Playing, and Vomiting Simulator.

Lastly, we got the vile bottom of the barrel killers that should of been deleted 10 years ago. Wraith whether strong or weak, is easy mode to play and requires so little thought that it never feels good to be killed by one. Spirit is for those sweaty players who want to win 9.99/19 times while having to put in far less effort than other Killers. Hag always devolves into proxy camping the hook with traps around it, as a Old Hag main... I basically gave her up since even though I didn't play as so... I didn't want associated with those people. And Twins has some fun aspects being mainly kicking Victor's face in and squashing him underfoot... but sadly most game end up being a slug fiesta where you get downed upon being picked back up cause Victor or Char is camping your body. Fun...

This. Trickster just doesn't look like he belongs in the game. He isn't scary at all, just goofy looking.

Nemesis looks goofy as hell, like some sort of Saturday morning cartoon space villain stomping the ground as he floats about moving in slow motion. (while Bubba moves like Sonic while making baby steps)

Bird woman is goofy. Some long neck lady screeching like a bird while Naruto running at people.

Blight slamming his face into walls is a ridiculous and laughable power. How is that even fitting an alchemist?

Twins has Human Shrek giving out boob gremlins to kick.

Legion is a bunch of teens that get headaches after running for a few seconds.

This game is goofy.
