This is how to play against this strategy with the highest rate of success for your team.

The pig cannot leave her box without giving up the strategy. So you need to maximize the amount of time that she's in front of the box
That means that when you start with a trap on your head you should not complete any generators until the pig has secured a down
Check for ruin, because you will need to 99 gens and this cannot be done if ruin is active
Once ruin is out of play, 99 all 5 gens and break all totems (if you're playing solo, it is enough just to 99 gens)
Once you're certain that you have all the gens ready, pop, pop, pop, pop, and pop the gens.
At this point expect NOED to be in play unless you've cleansed all totems
If more than 1 survivor has a head trap on, all but one survivor must sacrifice themselves by running out of the exit
The last survivor can now get hatch.

If you do not do this , as soon as all of the survivors with head traps have been killed the pig will play normally and may get additional kills. A 1k can easily become a 4k once the pig is able to leave the box and play normally.

You're going to have win streaks and you're going to have losing streaks. I'm confused what you feel would be better. If somehow you only got 4ks or 4ks with some 2ks or every game a 2k?

Anyway, I don't see any issue with you getting sweaty survivors. You're going to lose and when you do it's going to be verses people who are better than you (also referred to as sweaty on these forums). Why did you even post this to this forum?

Sorry, but this is bogus. Solo queue will not be able to coordinate this.

Solo Queue can be fairly effective when everyone is on the same page. I reminds me back when plague didn't have any fountains, survivors just knew not to cleanse. It was just a global strat that was used. This could be the same, if you spawn and you already have your head trap on, don't pop a generator until someone has been hooked.

in Is AFK pig Gameplay intended? Comment by konchok February 4, 2022

GoshJosh, Here's how this strategy is used.

It's entirely a meme and the pig will go afk for the whole match or at least until the exit gates are powered.
The pig will wait for 1 or more survivors to die and then they'll play normally. At which point you're down 1 or more survivors and chances of survival are slim.

The second one is the most dangerous playstyle. Because if 2 survivors die that quickly becomes a 4k once they're free from guarding the boxes.

So the strategy is to 99 all gens and break all totems. The killer in this situation either has to abandon the box to defend or they allow you to 99 the gens. And it doesn't even take that long when you're not being contested. Once all gens are ready to pop, you pop them as quickly as possible. Any survivor who can leave by the gates must do so ASAP. If there is more than 1 survivor with a head trap on, they must also leave and die by leaving the gate. The last survivor escapes through hatch (if they're lucky enough to find it before their head pops or the pig catches them.

--

The suggestion that I have is not even something that I thought of, it was Otz's suggestion to this fix. But I agree whole heartedly. Have it so that the iri add-on removes the ability for the exit gates to kill you. This would mean that regardless of how many hats are left by the end of the match all survivors would be able to escape, then it simply is a matter of educating the DBD survivors on how to use this strategy to escape once they've identified that they're versing an AFK pig.

I was thinking like pyramid heads cages, if a pig is too close to a box, the 'key' is moved to another one, or the box is moved to another spot.

I wouldn't be opposed, but I feel that that would be an overall nerf to the pig.

in Is AFK pig Gameplay intended? Comment by konchok February 4, 2022

The simplest change in my mind would be to have it so that the exit gates no longer kill you while wearing the reverse bear trap if that specific add-on is in play. It doesn't nerf the pig in any circumstance other than precisely this one.

in Is AFK pig Gameplay intended? Comment by konchok February 4, 2022

PinHead has the highest overall kill rate in the game at nearly 60 percent. So I don't think anyone can honestly call him weak. I would say though that I haven't seen him used in a competitive setting. And I doubt that he'd do well competitively. But comp is comp and pubs are pubs. In pubs he's strong in comp he's weak (I think). So take that for what you will.

It's not surprising that new legendary's have improved on the shortcomings of past designs. But I think that it was fine for what it was and when it was.

Def not a healthy nerf, a killer should be able to down down with there power in some way, don't want another legion thank you

Legion may have problems, don't get me wrong. But not being able to down you with his power active is not one of them. Legion was nerfed in that way because of the problems involved in downing with his power. Does Legion need changes, sure, but you know what changes he doesn't need, you guessed it, downing with the power active. Twins is the same, the problems in their kit is from Victors ability to down survivors but being unable to apply a hook stage after downing. There are obviously other ways to go about fixing it that could allow Victor to continue to down survivors, but nothing that I feel is as elegant as this solution. But like I stated it would require many buffs to compensate.

in The Twins Comment by konchok January 31, 2022

Just have them pull the kill rates for killers with under 40 hours and use that to determine difficulty. I doubt that the kills with Nurse, Blight or Nurse are very high with players with less than 40 hours so they get an easy difficult rating. Doctor, Wraith, Legion all seem like killers that would be fairly easy for a new killer to do alright with, they get an easy. So on and so forth. You can even update the difficulty every 6 months or so without really having to think to much about it.

in Does the difficulty on Killers make sense? Comment by konchok January 31, 2022

Twins need a rework.

I'm going to suggest a change that is absolutely a nerf, but a healthy one. Don't just write it off because it's a nerf. The idea is to apply the nerf to make them a more healthy killer and then buff the living ######### out of everything else in their kit.

My suggested change would be to make it so that pounces cannot down survivors, only put them into the head crab animation.

Why, you ask? Simply to remove all of the worst parts of the current kit. Guarding the hook with victor to tunnel a survivor, 4 man slugging a group, etc.

Well that basically ruins Victor does it not? Yes, but not irredeemably so. Even without downing potential, Twins gets a huge amount of pressure and information all over the map by being in 2 places at once. But that's obviously not enough, so let's discuss some buffs.

-Remove auto death from jumping on geometry, however, death still occurs if swapping while on any such entity.

-Remove penalty from placing Victor near hooks, because it's no longer necessary

-Remove penalty from switching away from Charlotte to Victor to near 0 (Time may need to be increased slightly to avoid any kind of exploit in mechanics that can be gained by switching repeatedly)

-Because a successful pounce will never result in Victor being anywhere but on someone's face. No changes needed.

-Increase the amount of time that it takes to remove Victor

-Provide charlotte some abilities that are separate from victor, but related.

These are a bit off the wall and not really meant to be taken seriously but give an idea as to what I mean.

Any survivor that's within Victors screech radius while he is attached to a survivor receives the oblivious status effect

Charlotte has an increased lunge when within 8 meters of Victor (same as coup de grace and it would stack )

When swapping to Charlotte from Victor, Charlotte is undetectable for 3 seconds. Has a 1 minute cool down.

-

This is by no means a definitive list of the changes that would be needed. I imagine that these buffs alone may not be enough, but it would definitely be more fun to play and if more buffs are needed at least it would be good beginning point for the Twins.

Anytime the code is changed it's going to change the way that she feels to play. That's just how game mechanics work. I think they're still fine tuning her and will for the next couple patches. Once the changes are complete you'll just have to relearn how to play her. She's going to be worse at some things and better at others. I think fundamentally she's better than she was before, even if specific parts of her kit are weaker.

It's quite simple. Low mmr = survivors that don't understand what a loop is and haven't figured out that you can look behind you to see what the killer is doing.
If you are getting mostly multi thousand hour swf squads that are stupidly difficult to mindgame and body block fgor each other when needed, then you are at least at the 2000 soft cap.

Here's a bit of advice from one person to another. Being able to loop is just being able to play the game. If you get a certain number of hours you can get to the point where when getting chased you're going to head to a window or pallet. And the number of hours doesn't make someone better, but it does mean that they understand the basics. Let's take chess for an example. A grandmaster wouldn't say that he knows he is good at chess because the people that he plays against have been playing chess for thousands of hours. He knows he's good because regardless of who he plays he wins. Especially when there is a cap. If you are telling me that you know you've hit cap because the individuals that you're versing are strong, that doesn't sound to me like you hit the soft cap, it sounds like you've hit your personal skill cap.

Hard to trust their statistics when they include the 3 survivors that stay in a game with an instant DC at 5 gens. That's a totally fair game and should be counted towards your balance decisions.

How many of your games do you get an instant DC at 5 gens. I think it's statistically insignificant.

in Why Boil Over & DMS Came to Live? Comment by konchok January 28, 2022

I'm very much a killer main and I don't think that Boil Over is OP, it is however very annoying. It's the sort of perk that makes you tilt immediately if used to escape from a killers grasp on the way to a hook. Now a single hook does not make or break a match, but being put in a situation where you are punished for completing your objective because they've positioned themselves in such a way where they cannot be hooked feels so bad.

in Nothing pleases you killer mains does it? Comment by konchok January 27, 2022

in Bubba is problematic with Dead Man's Switch Comment by konchok January 27, 2022

If you were to judge killers and balance killers around their ability to get hooks then the game would be terribly skewed. Killers who tend to snow-ball would look like they're underperforming which would cause problems when attempting to fix them. The 2 killers that come to my mind are Plague and Oni. These 2 killers in the right hands snow-ball hard but when they don't they lose hard. Either way they're not getting many hooks.

in Is Balancing DBD Around Kills/Escapes the Right Call? Comment by konchok January 26, 2022

Legion for a million different reasons. You can counter him by not healing, You can counter him with boons, He has huge cool-downs to using his power that nearly counter any utility that you get from the increased speed, which is less than what it seems. At least Michael can down a full health survivor and you could potentially secure a kill in the basement with his power. What can Legion do?

in Who is the weakest killer? Comment by konchok January 26, 2022

I've made this suggestion before and I really think it would do wonders for Bubba. If Bubba uses his chainsaw from within 8 meters of a hooked survivor he goes into Tantrum. He would still have the instadown from the Tantrum, but with the loss of control I believe that hook saves could be coordinated and BT would be much more effective. Bubba would still be a monster around the basement by camping the stairs and he always has the option to use the mallet around hooks.

Edit: hooked survivor, not any hook.

I agree with your statement, but I think that there's something that the devs don't want to admit to and it's this. Perk tiers allow newer players to feel like they're getting better at the game even when they're not. What I mean by this is that they're basically handicapping new players to make them even worse, so that as they level up their character they feel as if they themselves are improving, even if they personally haven't gotten any better at the game.

this don't matter but I'm silver grade killer and gold grade survivor I got a long way to go.

The higher the grade the more strict the requirements to get to higher grades. I'd read through the emblem system to see what kind of things you can get points toward. One area that is easy to improve with as survivor that will make a huge difference is escaping from the killers grasp. If you run Decisive Strike you get quite a few survival points for using that perk and if you get tunneled out of the game you can earn enough survival points to still Pip.

As killer my biggest piece of advice is that the killer that you're using matters a lot. Some killers earn Pips easier than others, so if you're trying to earn Pips I would focus on those killers. Legion, Doctor, and Blight are all good pip earners, One Shot Killers like Plague, Oni, Leatherface are terrible at getting pips.

That's the saddest thing I've heard all week. "You got called out by a dev whose trustworthiness is paper-thin, so I'm going to hound you wherever you go." News flash, trying to get attention from me won't make up for the attention you didn't receive from your parents growing up.
Basically, Peanits said that their desired average is a 50% kill rate, meaning that their desired average (meaning the majority of and ideally all) matches are a 2k2e. There's no other way you can spin that in a way that isn't "We want every other match to alternate between a 4k and 4e" or "We want matches to still have wild amounts of variance between the results to the point where they are individually meaningless but hey, they collectively average out to this random number we abstractly decided was the pinnacle of balance."
Peanits more or less said "Find me where we said wanted 2k2e matches on average. What we actually want is 2k2e matches on average."

Wow, insult a developer and put words into his mouth. And honestly you're the one here who's words are paper thin. You've yet to put anything up, where's the clip to back-up your claim. Now I won't hound you, but I might remind you that you have yet to put out anything substantive.

The argument isn't "What if they all cleanse?", it's really "What if none of them cleanse?"
And then what happens, Plague loses. Tall, 110% Killer with only M1. That is a recipe for complete and utter failure with how strong tilesets currently are.

Plague is not a 110 percent killer. She also has 2 fountains base kit. But I definitely don't think she's S tier. I will say if there's any killer that might be S tier that isn't currently considered S tier and that's Oni. And for that it comes down to, just how long can a competitive group of survivors keep an equally skilled Oni from getting any blood at all. From what I've seen in the most recent tourney, not long at all. 1 misplayed tile or even just 1 tile that's not close enough to another and the player takes a hit. An oni in their power is the most powerful killer in the game, I'd say stronger than Nurse easily.

Making him clunky to play and giving Survivors a hook-zone safe area does not fix him.
If players want to facecamp; they will. It's the nature of the game. Making a Killer suck is not fixing it.

How does this change Bubba at all? If you want to face camp just grab off of hook like every other face camping killer. Tantrum isn't a straight downside either. It still allows a single health state from survivors who go into lockers to avoid the chain saw and Tantrum is still area of affect so you can still use it to get hits next to the hook. I'm not asking for it to be completely disabled around the hook, just much harder to abuse around a hook.
