Can we all agree that the Houndmaster is a heavily flawed Killer?
The Houndmaster was a killer I was already very skeptical of in the PTB. I felt that no matter what buffs she got, she'd still be a low-tier Killer. Lo and behold, after the chapter releases and I get to play her I'm not surprised in the slightest, unfortunately. Snug's chase is so, so wildly inconsistent and mediocre it…
-
With all the balance changes and whatnot what's everyone's Killer tier list look like?
Over the past year and a half DBD has received a lot of balance changes, and not only that but as more passes on Survivors get better at the game which I feel has changed a lot of Killers' positions in the tier list. Killers who were previously seen as really great have been power crept or nerfed while some Killers who…
-
Was the Knights rework a failure?
I'm curious to see what people have to say about the Knight. Since the most recent time he's been changed I haven't played him a single time because I just don't enjoy him all that much anymore. I have nothing against complicated Killers, in fact, I really tend to love them a lot more than simple Killers but the Knight…
-
SM probably deserves a full rework, one without her drones.
There's no denying that most people in DBD absolutely despise the SM, and rightfully so. Her first power iteration was so bad it forced the devs to add an entirely new game mechanic, and her rework kept all the worst parts about her while only removing her heavy 3 gen potential which means that she was still incredibly…
-
Now that Singularity has been fixed can we all agree that the Unknown is the worst Killer to play?
Now that Singularity has been massively buffed he's easily one of my favorite Killers to play. He feels great to play and feels powerful without also feeling powerless sometimes like he was before all the buffs. However now that he's been buffed he no longer takes the crown for being one of the most frustrating Killers to…
-
Would a map ban system be good for the health of the game?
Would a map ban feature be healthy for the game? I was thinking that if they were to hypothetically add this feature each Survivor would be allowed 1 map they could pick to ban before a round begins and the Killer would be allowed to either ban a whole realm altogether or 4 maps to compensate. The map bans trump map…
-
What buffs would you give to the other Killers that aren't in 2v8?
Title. Curious to see what people would want changed for each Killer in 2v8! I'd change Blight by making old Blighted rat and crow base kit while also making his cooldown shorter.
-
Welp, Hillbilly had a good run. Rest in Peace in advance
GG Hillbilly mains, we ate well for a few months before BHVR decided to put him in their scopes again. It was nice being able to play this character with how nice he felt, but alas nothing lasts forever. See you guys back in C tier Hillbilly arc.
-
Why is the Knights guard AI so bad at finding people now?
I haven't heard anyone talk about this nerf to Knight but before this rework to Knight, his guards could easily find people even if they were hiding behind a few objects making it so unless they were completely out of view from the guards they would be spotted and chased. Now? If they don't have at least 90% visibility on…
-
Gen Efficiency has become a really big problem in DBD, has anybody else felt it?
I'm not one to usually complain about this problem, but now that basically every viable gen regression perk has been nuked from orbit what can I do against really gen efficent teams? I've noticed how fast the gens are flying in my games with some Killers, so what am I missing? Even if the teams I go against are mediocre in…
-
Is the Dredge forever doomed to be medioucre?
Now don't get me wrong, there are a lot, and I do mean a lot of buffs they can give his power to make it not bad, but at the end of the day what kills him for a lot of people and what stopped me from playing him more is the terrible locker spawns on most maps. Dredge's power is the most RNG-dependent in the game and unlike…
-
So...What's the meta going to be for Killers now?
Scourge Pain Res is still a pretty good perk despite the nerf, however, PGTW is pretty terrible now leaving us with only one truly good gen regression perk, that being the former. Unlike all the other previous meta shake-ups there are no more gen regression perks to lean on, no secret underutilized perk that will now be…
-
What exactly qualifies a tech to be removed? Why isn't there any consistency with the process?
So every form of Blight's 180-degree flicks and slide tech have been patched out effectively gutting him in terms of fun even though it wasn't overpowered. If the Dev's reasoning behind this is that it wasn't intended, why then is Oni's 180 degree flick still in the game? Why can Wesker continue to have his own slide tech?…
-
How do you guys feel about exhausting Killers? (Extremely difficult Killers)
Title. When I say exhausting Killers, I mean Killers that are usually very punishing to play and extremely strict with their power, whether it be placement or anything else. From what I've seen and played some of the easiest examples are Singularity and Unknown. Singularity requires constant thinking with his power, and…
-
The Knight is by far the worst Killer in the game...
Because at least every other Killer is in a functioning state at minimum. The Knight is so buggy, unpolished, and addon-dependent that it really should be a crime for him to even exist at this point. Contrary to popular belief but when The Knight got kill-switched way back in December for like a month, they never actually…
-
Really sorry, but my god SM players make it so hard to empathize with them
Not saying I condone it at all, but when nearly every SM player I've come across has consistently played scummy then how is anyone surprised when people instantly DC/Suicide against her? When her drones are so easy to use to completely shut down an area and hold a 3 gen consistently, requiring communication in a game that…
-
Unpopular Opinion: Billy is stronger than Blight
Not including the double iri addons for Blight which make him the strongest Killer in the game, I think that Hillbilly at his strongest is a much better Killer than Blight now. Above all else Blight needs his speed add-ons, he's just not a good enough Killer without them so when they ended up not only hard nerfing those…
-
Can gen regression ever be balanced? How can things be made base kit in the games current form?
Title. I've always thought about how exactly BHVR can balance out gen regression whilst adding things to the base kit to make killers less reliant on gen regression perks, but I just can't see a solution to this issue at all. At first, I thought that the most popular gen regression perks should be nerfed a bit and the…
-
People who want Freddy to be more like to his 1.0 version, how would you balance him if you could?
I'm curious since most people aren't really a fan of his reworked form because of how generic he is and I've always seen a decent amount of people who used to play Freddy back in the day saying they hope he could be reworked into something like his 1.0 version. So if you could, how would you make a Freddy 3.0?
-
I know it's a beaten horse already but are we seriously gonna have to wait 4 years for a SM rework?
Seriously, going up against this Killer is easily the least fun experience in the game, and that's saying something considering the Twins still exist. The fact that this Killer has a 70 percent Kill rate it shows just how badly this Killer needs to be reworked, overshadowing practically everybody else except for Freddy.…
-
How has Crouch "teching" not been patched out already?
Seriously how has this exploit not been fixed yet? By just crouching you can easily invalidate a lot of Killer powers in the game, especially if it's Hillbilly, Demogorgon, or Blight. You'd think by now with how stupidly easy it is to pull it off that it can be easily patched, but I guess we're still in the era of DBD…
-
If BHVR reworked custom games what would you like to see added?
Personally for me I'd like it if BHVR added: -Customizable stats, like what if you could change the Killers lunge speed/distance or how fast they went? And on a more complicated aspect maybe we could also change Killer abilities instead of their general stats, for example, imagine if you could make Hillbillys chainsaw…
-
What do you guys think about my perk ideas? I want them to feel really strong yet balanced too.
I want your guy's opinion on these perk ideas that I came up with. My biggest issue with DBD for a while now is how BHVR never seems to add perks that truly impact the game. I can understand why they don't as every time they add in a new seemingly strong perk it gets yelled at a lot, but even so, I feel like they can do…
-
Not going to lie, the Unknown is kind of mid
He's a fine enough B-tier Killer I guess, but I dunno, I kinda expected more out of him. His teleports are pretty nice when placed in good locations and if you bring the brown addon it even becomes a pretty good anti-loop ability. Other than that though his main ranged power is a mixed bag, on one hand, it has a pretty…
-
RPD needs another rework, or better yet needs to be completely removed
Go ahead, play Hillbilly on this map. It doesn't matter what build your using, or how much skill you have, you WILL lose against survivors who have at least two brain cells. At least Lerys has long hallways, RPD is nothing but misery for everyone in this game, so why is it still in DBD? Who can seriously and unironically…
-
So...is nobody going to talk about the awful state of Trickster?
Trickster on the PTB very clearly had a few issues that were thankfully ironed out, but as they took out the things that made him overpowered BHVR for some reason found it necessary to completely butcher him and do changes no one asked for...why? He's been consistently an at best mediocre Killer and at worst a Killer with…
-
Extremely unpopular opinion: I wish 180 flicks would return for Oni and Blight.
I know this is an extremely unpopular opinion and practically no one really agrees with me, but I really wish 180 flicks would return for both Oni and Blight. Was it balanced? No, not really, but was it fun and satisfying? Absolutely. Hell, even as Survivor I still kinda enjoyed going up against people who used 180 flicks…
-
Who exactly is supposed to benefit from the new map BHVR?
Mobility Killers (Especially Hillbilly) get absolutely destroyed on the new map because of how cluttered it is, Ranged Killers suffer greatly due to how many line-of-sight blockers there are, Dredge suffers because a third of the map is a barren wasteland with no lockers, M1 Killers get destroyed by the sheer amount god…
-
If you had to buff, rework, nerf, and remove 1 killer which would they be?
For me, I'd want to buff Hillbilly, rework the Twins, nerf the Artist, and remove Skull Merchant.
-
Why are Killers so inconsistent with addons? (Ex. Myers having op addons and Phead having nothing)
What is the design philosophy around Killer addons? Seriously, the number of inconsistencies Killers have with their add-ons is insane. On one hand, you have Killers like Blight who have amazing add-ons, some of which could even be considered overpowered. Then on the other hand you have Killers like Pyramid Head who have…
-
Kicking Hillbilly while he's already down.
Man, when I saw that Hillbilly was finally receiving changes I was really excited! Finally, Hillbilly would receive changes and wouldn't be considered a dead Killer anymore! Maybe he'll finally get an addon pass again or at the bare minimum have a couple of his addons changed! Maybe they'll make him feel smoother and…
-
Does the Knights FOV make anyone else's eyes hurt?
More so than any other Killer the Knight feels like he has the worst FOV in the game, even though it's the same as every other Killer. Does anyone else feel like their eyes are melting when playing this character?
-
Why are BHVR shooting themselves in the foot with new and reworked maps?
Wasn't the whole point of the map reworks to not only apply a fresh new coat of paint on maps that were very old but more importantly rebalance those maps to be fairer? So then why are BHVR continuing their awful trend of releasing god-awful maps that are just going to have to be reworked in the future? At first, the map…
-
Why do the Jailer and more specifically the Assassin chase for such a low amount of time?
Seriously at least for the Jailer, I guess you could make some argument for him only being able to chase for a very short duration but there isn't an excuse for the Assassin. His whole thing is he's supposed to be the most deadly but what ends up happening more often than not is that he just doesn't get any hits most of…
-
What Killers do you enjoy going up against and vice versa? What makes you like/dislike them?
I want to see if there's a common trend on which Killers people like going up against and which people don't like to go up against. For example, I really like going up against fast Killers like Hillbilly, Blight, and Oni because as a survivor not only do they constantly require me to think a little outside the box to…
-
Deathslinger is the worst Killer in the game.
Every Killer has at least 1 niche to them, even Killers considered to be the weakest in the game (Trapper, Freddy, etc) have at least one playstyle that can help them not suck as much. The one exception to this rule however is Deathslinger. Not only does Deathslinger have no alternative playstyle or tech that can help him…
-
Why are the Devs incredibly inconsistent with balancing Killer Addons?
I've always wondered why the Devs always seem to be so incredibly inconsistent with Killer add-ons. On one hand, you have Killers like Artist and Phead who have mostly awful addons with one a very select few that are actually useful, then you have other Killers like Blight whose add-ons are almost all extremely good with…
-
Feels like people are freaking out about the base kit Unbreakable way too preemptively.
I feel like people are freaking out about this change way too early, no one has even got a chance to test it yet people are already on their way to writing 400 forum posts claiming that BHVR only cares about the Survivor side. The funny thing is there have been so many examples of this happening in the past. One of the…
-
Solo Queue is a genuinely horrible and miserable experience
I'm not sure if I'm just incredibly unlucky or something but Jesus christ man, I think Solo Queue is in the worst state it's ever been in. I've played 11 games of Survivor today and in literally every single one of them someone, mostly me, has been camped and or tunneled to death. I have tried out every single build I can…
-
Can someone please explain to me how I'm supposed to counter plague with dying light and thana?
How am I supposed to counter a plague using these two perks while in solo queue? I'm not a new player, I have 2500 hours in the game and I play both Killer and Survivor, so I know how to counter plague. I know when I should cleanse and when I shouldn't and how to loop her. The issue arises with my teammates, however,…
-
Anyone else just not enjoying survivor anymore?
I don't know if it's just me or not but recently I feel like survivor just isn't fun anymore. With survivor it constantly feels like I'm having to deal with something extremely unfun whether it be stupid teammates, killers I hate going up against (Looking right at you Deathslinger), aggravating bugs (Like the most recent…
-
Anyone else just not finding joy in playing DBD anymore?
Ever since MMR has come out it has just destroyed any joy I find in DBD. Constantly, in every single one of my matches, I am always getting paired up against extremely sweaty players and I don't mind going up against sweaty players but when it's EVERY single match, it gets so exhausting. It doesn't help that in high MMR…
-
How would you guys change the Twins?
Title.
-
Going up against hackers is getting really exhausting. Do the DBD devs even care about their game?
Another match, another hacker. I usually always give the dev's a benefit of the doubt and will sometimes defend them on certain issues (I don't believe that they don't care about killers, it just doesn't make sense) but a lot of the time they make it really difficult to not get angry at them. Ever since MMR was introduced…
-
Snowmen bring out the worst in people.
As if playing solo queue isn't miserable enough now snowmen are added into the mix leading many people into going inside of one and doing absolutely nothing the entire game. It's incredibly annoying when you have people like this in your game because not only will most killers just let them go but some of these people will…
-
Unpopular Opinion: With engineer's fang (and the right build) Pinhead is an S-tier Killer
The amount of game delay you can force on the survivors with chain hunt makes Pinhead a really good Killer, but not a perfect one. He suffers really badly from an inconsistent and difficult-to-use chase power which keeps him from being a completely overpowered Killer. However, with Engineers fang and the correct build (I…
-
I feel like I'm the only person who thinks Oni needs a buff....
I used to enjoy playing Oni a lot but ever since Blight has come out he just can't compete. Blight is just an objectively better Oni, so what reason is there to even play Oni? He's incredibly weak to just pre-dropping pallets and is just an M1 Killer for most of the game, meaning that in high MMR playing as him is a…
-
The Twins are a dead Killer. Please BHVR, at least acknowledge their existence....
I'm almost certain that someone in BHVR absolutely despises this Killer because holy ######### almost every single update since they have come out has screwed them over in some way, especially with boon totems. As if COH wasn't bad enough the new boon totem that is unbreakable for everyone within its radius is going to…
-
~6 months later and Trickster is still an awful Killer.
6 months after his release and the Trickster is still an awful Killer in almost every aspect. At this point I've given up on ever seeing a buff for this Killer that'll make him an actually viable Killer because of how's hes designed and how slow BHVR are at changing anything. Do you guys believe that Trickster in his…
-
How do you guys feel about the blighted serum addon for killer?
Do you guys feel like it's a good band-aid fix for killers with no map pressure or weak to the W meta? How would you feel if it was permanently added to the game instead of only available on Halloween?
