QnQ buff, sweet. Until the Killer uses Iron Maiden.

And the reaction from killer mains is rich. Not one person can say that aura reading is good for the game, and yet it's suddenly arms up in the air when the most used killer perk in the game has a minor, stealth-based counter perk.

Maybe they should've added another Exhaustion or second-chance/health state perk.

To all those that see it as a valid argument that the Devs said "SWF was intended from the beginning": this true, but it's also true that the Devs did NOT implemented it into the game from the beginning, because they KNEW it was unbalanced and they had no clue how to balance it.
Than the (survivor) player FORCED it into the game, by reviewbombing the game and the Devs caved in.

Talking about false narratives; this is one.
You just focus on one side of the story.

They literally said they only had time for one feature: KYF and SWF and they opted for KYF first. And because DBD is marketed as a multiplayer co-op game, of course consumers will be irritated by not having the option to play with friends. It's not "review bombing", it's popular demand coupled with misleading advertising.

Are you just trying to become a FAKE NEWS meme?

200 for an ability that changes and gets stronger every time he hits a survivor.

IMO, there should have been an addon for it.

But simply making him fully invisible does not make him any easier to play at ranks where he suffers, nor does it make him any more fun to play against...

I guess we should also hide the killer's ping in the lobby to prevent dodging since I dodge when I see red ping.

Lmfao, you think dodging bad ping is equivalent to cherrypicking opponents.

I can't with you.

I didn't realize that many people dodged SWF. How does anyone know... I mean, can't a regular group of randoms all appear at the same time as well?

I've had so many times killers think that I was playing in SWF when there were actually 4 solos. I've also had plenty times where I thought it was a 4 stack, when in actuality, it's 2 team SWF at most with 2 consistently matched solos.

Honestly, it's often an excuse for killers to jump to when they do badly/have a bad game.

Keep her at 110% when she is armed with hatchets, but increase it to 115% when she's all out.
tha's actually pretty good idea! when she losses all her hatches, she should be able to be at 115%. In a way, she's really a powerless killer without hatches, buffing her while being without hatches, definitely will help on "those" chases that you BARELY miss a hatchet and still be able to be scary as any other killer.
In essence, she's 110% with hatches, 115% without hatches just because she lost the wieght of the hatches lol

I think it's a good compromise but bad solution. The Huntress should keep the weakness of needing to reload because it rewards survivors for juking and then being stealthy.

After I juke 4-5 hatchets, my next reaction shouldn't be "ok now she has 115 MS and she'll BL-M1 me to death". It's counterproductive.

If anything, more killers need to be like Huntress (skill-based and rewarding for both sides) and not the other way around.

Did you see what I said about how I think it’ll only slightly increase her killrate if she gets 115% speed

I care less about the killrate and more about the design of the game. And as it is now, survivors already die more than 1/2 the time at every rank and they're still buffing killers across the board.

Which is fine, but I still stand by my reasoning against MS bonuses.

I'm leaning more toward @Nickenzie's suggestion for reducing the bottom half of the hatchet hitbox so her hatchets can properly bypass obstacles.

lol @the guys that said "the depip squad is only 0.1% of the playerbase!". Scott is even less than that and yet he struggled against them.

Next level argumentation here but why doesn't this surprise me.

"Watch Scott, he reks them all!"

watched scott vs depip squad

"Noooo, not against the depip squad! Watch him play against some unskilled plebs! Depip squad is only 0,1% of playerbase!"

why does everyone keep saying I struggled with that game? it was hard as balls but I didn't even use her strongest stuff on a weak map for Huntress, and I just AFK'd the last guy on the hook because the entire point was to break their no-pip streak.

@iTz_KilLaZ_x said:
I know some might disagree, but in my view, huntress should have 115% movement speed. She’s a pretty good killer already, but what really hinders her is how she’s 110% movement speed. She’s only really deadly when survivors are in the open and you can land your hatchets. Yes, you can do the little trick where you get a hatchet hit in when they drop a pallet but good survivors normally won’t let that happen.

I think if she had 115% speed, she wouldn’t be so prone to the usual gen rush and pallet looping. I might have a bias too since she’s my favorite killer lol... what do you guys think?

That or bring her instahatchets back, she's far too easy to bully and she needs a way to counter those loops. Like I always say, no matter how good a Huntress is, if the survivor plays it correctly, she'll get abused and looped around 1 loop (normal sized) at least 8 times before pallet drop. I've faced some great Huntress players who have a hard time and with the skill they got with her, they deserve to be rewarded.

Instahatchets do NOT need to come back. They were blatantly overpowered and stupid.

At least they made her viable.

She's still in the top-tier.

It doesn't get much more viable than that O_O;

She's mid tier for sure. Too ez to loop, if u don't mess up which u rarely do, you can get 8 loops in before dropping the pallets.

Okay you have no idea what you're talking about if you think you can legitimately loop ANY killer 8 times around anything.

I don't really get why people think the average survivor team is a 4-man Claudette hitsquad yet imagine that the average killer has the capability of a sad potato.

The people who don't know about this coming soon.

It said in the post this won't require you to update.
And there's probably many who don't even go to these forums regularly.

When they'll, the ones who dodge SWF, keep encountering people who join simultaneously, they'll just keep on dodging and dodging and dodging.

Lol funny, the killer main community was asking since years to give them an indication that they face swf groups to equip themselves better for it (others just simply dodge).
However, the last indication they had is gone.
Whatever, I think as a solo I can benefit from that in the long run. I got dodged a lot of times just for the reason that I joined the looby simultaneously with other randoms.

The question is whether it is desireable to give no indication for SWF at all.
As long as DCing isnt punished properly, killers last resort is a DC vs SWF

Well, you can answer it yourself. What does the matchmaking change aim to achieve: equalized queue times or killers' desire to exclusively play versus 4 solos?

Given that it removes the killer's ability to abuse lobby dodging to avoid SWF (but still not any other reason like dodging lobbies with survivors using too many items, having too many hours, having troll-y names, streamers, wearing paid cosmetics, using certain characters, etc.), I think it is fair to address last second switching next.

I’m aware... im already good with her and have fun playing her. But against solid swf teams, she’s not good enough to keep up. If you are good enough at her (and you're not on like...Lery's or Haddonfield), yes, yes she is.
You struggled against marths depip squad sooo



Bruh it was literally the sweatiest team on the planet, I didn't use Iridescent Head, or Instathrow, or Ruin, and I was on Swamp of all maps...with Huntress. Also I still won.

Obviously yeah it was hard as balls but there's pretty much 0 teams that try that hard. A normal SWF can be destroyed by a good Huntress.
Idk man... I seem to be encountering depip squads 30% of the time at rank 1. All use meta perks, gen rush, etc. I hate it

Right... like every killer that uses the same meta perks and mori/instadown addons should be called 'depip killers' too.

The meta for killer isn’t as crutch and strong as what survivors have. And besides, gens can still be done at ridiculously fast rates
... So? It's meta anyway. The point is that survivors using the strongest tools in their disposal aren't all out to get the killer to depip, and vice versa.

And I dunno, I find Irihead and Infantry belt Huntress or Mint Rag+Shackle+MYC Hag just as tryhard as Instaheals+DS.

And Ebony Mori is more of a crutch than anything else in this game.
But do you acknowledge that gens still get done ridiculously fast

Of course. That should be the biggest priority for the devs to fix.
