The strength of killers depends on the rank. Against very good survivors killers are kind of weak but against average survivors they're pretty strong. It's really kind of rough to balance.
-
?? Changes aren't made to the live version of any game or website.

This is true, I had a ghostface chase me yesterday for the entire 5 gens. The worst part is that he chased me around the same pallet for 5 gens. It wasn't even a strong loop/pallet. When he caught me, he immediately camped under the hook, and then when I got unhooked he immediately went for me again, lol. My team had to surround me so I could get out.
Then the next match I had a huntress run around a car with me for two gens--one of the gen was directly behind her but she wouldn't stop tunnel visioning me. She lost the game because she wouldn't stop chasing me around a car. Not even a pallet. The pallet was already gone.
-
Sometimes it's just because you have to get someone out of the game to have an even ground. It depends on what level you're playing at.
-
Yeah, this happens to me all the time. My favorite thing about console players is that when you down them their bodies jump about 10 feet when they drop and you can't find them.
-
You don't have to play her to get her teachables, you can play anyone and pour points into her. If she's not your thing then she's not your thing. & tbh I'd rather her be high skill high reward and a base game killer than behind a pay wall.
-
The hill is an S tier killer, who would have thought?
I had a match earlier, one survivor down, I hooked another survivor and I was looking around for the others and could not find them for the life of me until I passed by the hill and they were frantically spinning in it. I could have thrown all of them on hooks but instead I released them from the hill and let them heal/get their Meg off a hook. That hill is a more brutal killer than I am.
-
She's fine, she's really hard to play & get good at and you rightfully get rewarded for having mastered it.
-
I play on both PC and console. Killers are pretty much the same across the board but you see a lot more nurse/huntress/deathslinger on PC. Everyone plays like a jerk though. It's just the dbd code--both sides are anti-fun, especially at high ranks.
-
Yeah, when I was playing last night I hit a survivor through a window with a hammer from like a million miles away with my m1 as the hillbilly last night. & an Ace walked into my chainsaw twice and it just safely passed through him, lol.

No. Nurse is not only fighting the survivors, but she is also fighting the way the game works with bugs and dead zones.
The dead zones are the absolute worst. That & how sometimes you blink directly onto someone and smack them and the game is like, 'no, no hit.'
-
Tbh camping might be a result of killers not being powerful enough--the frustration that comes with it is what makes people resort to scummy tactics.
-
@Crazewtboy said:
Unfortunately this is the way it will turn out 90% of the time. I know it feels like you are being punished for looping, but sometimes that isn't the case. Sometimes a killer is going to camp anyway and all you did was delay the process by being a good runner. Not that some people won't go out of their way to spite you. As someone who plays both sides a fair amount, I can vouch that it is very frustrating to feel powerless against a survivor who is looping when you are supposed to be the power role. The reason why it is so hard to break a chase is usually for one of two reasons: either the killer's ego is so big he can't let you escape, or the killer realizes the next survivor might just do the same things and all he's done at that point is waste more time finding someone else.
Lol, this though. I never face camp but I've considered doing exactly this in times when the survivors have made me decide that I don't want to play anymore.
-
What?????
-
Lol I just spent so much time getting it yesterday. Fml.

@Aven_Fallen said:
Pretty sure you have never seen a whole team dying because one Survivor messed up and gave immense pressure to the Killer.
Ever play Legion/Hag/Trapper?
-
I've had survivors give me pity kills when I was learning a killer I didn't know how to play.
-
Stackable second chance perks suck & are currently being hardcore abused at higher ranks.
-
Lol, this reminds me that the other day I ran into one of these clicky clicky survivors but I had a mori and they kept trying to flashlight me out of it (?????). Then, I broke a pallet and they blinded me so I shot blind and landed a chain into them and mori'ed them.
Both them and their SWF disconnected. It was beautiful. In that moment I knew no greater happiness. I was at peace.
-
I hate looping. It's so boring. It's so so so boring. IT'S SO BORING.
-
Seems like dedication to me. I'm currently learning her and it takes a lot of lost matches to get anywhere. Worst thing is that I don't even have any friends that play DBD so I can't just play KYF until I learn the basics.
-
How many times do you have to leave to get it to six hours? I am a chronic leaver and my bans are only 5 minutes.

Again i am going with, just because she is "typed" doesn't mean she can't look sexy, yes her form isn't as curvalicious but the clothes can and could still work for Claud, her hair isn't as "full" neither is mine all the time, but it's just a game, different hair styles, Claud doesn't have a blonde afro but i sure as hell would love one for her. It's nice and good to see the characters least wearing different things, to be seen as something more then what we deem or their lore is about.
She can look sexy, sure, but in a design that accentuates her specific body type, not a design for a body type that is significantly curvier than her with some rocking abs. It just ends up looking kind of odd when its translated over.
It's kind of like when you buy a dress online and put it on and feel like a dork.
-
Maybe you just need to take it to a level of it being absurd. I was having a bad as hell day yesterday and I was super cranky and I opened a match with two dwights & a claudette that all had matching names--but the Dwights had matching Christmas sweaters and bright orange helmets and they messed up everything that they did and I was just like, I love & cherish these Dwights and their Claudette and I will never let any harm befall them.
At the end in the chat they were like, 'we wear the bells so we don't get lost' 'our helmets protect us' and I knew I had made the right choice.
-
The biggest reason why this design looks so different & underwhelming is because it's put on Claudette's actual character model. Like, I don't know if you stopped and looked, but Claudette is not nearly as sexy as the model shown in the concept art. This actually changes... a lot.
Like, for example, her clothes wouldn't fit the same, because Claudette does not have the hips to support a low slung pair of sweatpants & a thong like that. She doesn't have a tapered waist, so her sports bra fits differently. Her hair isn't as full as the drawing, so it looks different. The drawing has lighter skin, so the colors have a different contrast. Claudette hunches over and so in game she's going to look even more different. The drawing's face is cuter, so by default, she looks a lot better in her outfit.
Though the ankles of those sweatpants look dorky as hell, which is kind of signature Claudette style so I'll give it a pass, but they do look really flippin' dorky.
-
Flashlights clicking at the back of my head all match. Like, WHY. What are you hoping to accomplish by reminding me that you're there behind me??
-
What? No. I've had matches where 2 gens have popped before I could even complete a walk through the map. It has nothing to do with tunneling.

This rank 2 player is a real gamer. Quadruple double chance perks... Very big pp.
Yep, and naturally he followed me everywhere and got in my way every time I downed anyone and teagbagged at every pallet & whenever I missed because of his Dead Hard, lol.

This is a no from me, dog.

Always gotta post these pictures whenever a topic like this comes up.
Hopefully MMR will fix everything and everyone will be singing kumbaya but...let's be real...that won't happen.
Yeah, you're probably right. It unfortunately, kind of straight up kills the game to be constantly placed against people who are like 10 ranks above you on either side. I was playing a match earlier and I literally just stopped walking and tabbed to a different screen like, nevermind.

With matchmaking being the way it is I suggest you just go in and meme or learn a killer you’re not good at. I spent most of yesterday trying to learn nurse. As an added bonus it’s easy to grab rift fragments just for being in game as killer even if you don’t hook anyone.
Yeah, probably true. I've been trying to learn Nurse lately too. It's kind of frustrating because I let my friend play on my account to try out some killers before she bought them (she wanted a new one and was having problems deciding which to put money on) and she got all yellow/green rank survivors on -my- account and then I jumped back in and it was back to red ranks every match. Like, the hell?

Welcome to the real DBD 😂
Big mood. I used to be a rank 1 killer but I stopped playing for over a year and I thought maybe I'd be able to take some time to figure out how to play the game again before being thrown in with high rank players. But nah rank apparently means nothing.
-
@catbeans said:
At least you got into a match
Does it even really count if I spent the whole time wishing that I hadn't? I'd rather wait and play someone that's actually my rank rather than a red rank SWF4 stack with all meta perks in every match. I cannot stress this enough, I have had to face sweaty red rank players every single match since rank 13.
-
Spirit is a lot easier than Nurse. I play both of them and while sometimes as Spirit I catch myself thinking, 'I'll just blink past this wall and get them. Oh wait, crap, I have to walk around it', it still feels like a lower base skill that you need to have to do anything.

Crossplay has done huge harm to the game, console player just cannot compete with pc players I've started playing killers without perks or using really bad perks just because of how easy rank 1 has been recently, because of console players
There's some half way decent console survivors. They don't have experience with good huntresses/nurses/deathslingers yet, but they're still decent besides that.

rank works fine right now please no
Hard disagree. I just came back to the game last week after a year off and I'm currently a rank 10 killer. Every single match since I hit about rank 13 has been against people who are rank 4 or below. Last night I had -5- matches against survivor teams that were entirely ranks 1 & 2.
The ranking system is insanely broken right now.
& it's also absolute hell with every match being a team of red rank survivors who all have DS, unbreakable, and whatever other perks are meta right now when you have like two tier 1 base perks on a killer and you're trying to learn how to play it.
-
?? Crossplay has helped my wait times enormously.
-
Levels 20 - 8 matches are more fun for both killers and survivors. Tbh there shouldn't even be a ranking system, everyone should be matched up randomly. They should stop bothering to try to make a ranking system.

Like i said, NOT EVERYONE can afford to upgrade their PC every second update considering the salaries in some countries.
Good for you and those who succeeded to buy a powerful PC for this "visually gorgeous game".
I didn't buy my PC for DBD. I wasn't even playing DBD when I bought my PC, I was on a break from it and refused to play it for the past year or two. & No one is buying a PC just for Dead by Daylight. Which is part of the problem with your outlook--no one upgrades their PCs for Dbd, they do it because hardware has a very limited lifespan and is constantly being made obsolete by advancements in technology. Someone's 7 year old laptop isn't just going to struggle with DBD, it's going to struggle to do anything.
-
It depends on rank. In yellow ranks killers have the advantage, but once survivors know how to play, they without a doubt have the advantage. 4 survivors can literally just run at a killer and sometimes there's literally nothing you can do about it.

Good luck! And if you ever need a quick KYF just to practice a new killer ability or something hit me up.
I probably will tbh. I'm trying to learn nurse and survivors wreck me and it sucks.

Quick tip, if you’re in PC and if you wanna try to gain back some advantage, Watch for the globe symbol that means people are from console... they are generally at least a little worse than players of the same rank on PC.
Not always, but I’ve faced some cross play rank 3s that almost played like a rank 15. If you get all PC players then dodge lobby... I hate suggesting that ever but maybe because the system is so bad do what you need to do.
Lol, I've been learning how to play huntress and nurse so I've basically been doing exactly that. I'm a sniper main in every game so I've been doing pretty good as huntress--and I think it really is because console survivors don't expect me to be able to hatchet snipe them across the map.

I hear ya, the bad thing is the new MMR while it was in effect for a couple days was arguably even worse!!!
But yeah sweaty high stress red rank games aren’t “enjoyable.” I can do well in those games if I play top killers, or even mid tier killers with strong perk/addon setups... but I wanna play FUN builds.
I started screwing around with Mad grit, iron grasp, agitation and hangman’s trick but the only killer it even remotely worked on was Hag because she’s so strong her perks almost don’t matter. Playing as clown, trapper, wraith and Demo with that build was just frustrating
Oh yeah, for sure. Tbh I don't have -any- builds on any of my killers. I only have one killer with teachables because I never used to put bloodpoints into killers, so I just play everyone with their default perks for the most part & I only have like 3 killers with more than two perks. RIP I guess.

So many rich kids here i see. Parents probably bought you a GAMING RIG and now you are like: jUsT uPgraDe.
Well guess what, not everyone has rich parents or much money, not everyone lives in a rich country and works for high salaries.
######### me, people are such ass-holes. I hope you'll enjoy the game with less players and more bugs from every next patch.
Or we're adults who have jobs and worked to buy our own gaming rigs. Lol. Foreign concept, I know.

First thing, and this is just me guessing, there are wayyy wayyy more red survivors than red killers so some of the red survivors will have to be paired against lower killers. Now 4 to 12 is a big gap but it’s only slightly bigger than their range of 6 so this is kind of “acceptable,” by BHVR guidelines. Not mine, but by the devs.
Second, their weird triangle of matchmaking puts quick time and good ping ahead of proper ranks. Basically they have stated that getting an unfair game in 1 minute Is better than waiting 5 minutes to play against people of equal skill.
Ughhhh all of that really kind of sucks, honestly. I just want to have like, you know, fair matches, where I'm not playing against people who have 2000 hours on survivor & know all of the loops and exploits by heart. I used to be a red rank killer and I stopped playing for over a year for a reason--because those matches suck all of the fun out of the game.

Well yeah, while I completely agree with you on the swf angle, I have to say about comparing DC between survivor or killer doing it, the killer ones are worse per person.
As an example you have a game of soccer with a few people. If one of them leaves (1 survivor) the game continuos but when the kid owning the ball quits noone can play(the killer quits/dodges).
Same in dbd, a survivor DC's and the game continuous with an advantage for the killer and less fun for everyone involved. Once the killer quits or dodges noone can play.
Well I can say this because I play killer only and only left once because the survivor were abusing an exploit in form of an old and by now patched fat-shaming spot.
Only real reasons to DC are real life problem/emergencies, hacker or exploiter and a game held hostage (again impossible for me because I am the killer).
Tbh you don't really need a "real reason" to leave because it's a video game and not a job. I play mostly killer and I leave all the time if the match is just unpleasant. I don't have a lot of time to play because, you know, I have an actual full time job outside of dbd, so I'm not going to sit through a crappy match of people clicking flashlights at the back of my head & waste the small amount of time I have to work with.
-
How does the game even work on your laptop now without it just like, exploding? I have a fairly new gaming rig & dbd makes it sound like a jet engine.
-
Lol, what? The Deathslinger and Silent Hill are why I came back to the game. They're neat characters. I hate the Silent Hill map, but it looks good.
-
Lol, I came here to ask about the same thing. I haven't played in over a year and I came back to the game a couple of days ago and this is my experience in every. single. match:
Why the hell am I being matched against red rank players in every match at level 12? I just want to learn new killers (I'm new to the huntress) but every match is against red ranks?? I had two rank one players against me in the same match earlier?? Shouldn't crossplay have fixed this because of the wider pool of players?
-
Boil over is already alright. Maybe not on its own, but I have a build that's: Flip-Flop, Boil Over, & Tenacity. It's obnoxious tbh. Killers walk into walls when they try to carry me & they try to slug but I escape when they eventually pick me up.
