Best Of

It's been getting out of hand for years now. Still waiting on DBD to open the Stockholm server so that Frankfurt can finally catch a break.

in regards to content creators I think they are put in a special que without hackers or at least with less (I remember that being a thing mentioned a few years ago at least for the big ones)

Edit for downvoters, this is what I was referring to from from 3 years ago:

Matchmaking that makes sense

The David player should get a ban for calling you that. Hope you reported.

Pretty much this. People bought Krasue because she was busted on release, not because she is fun. Now that she is nerfed you barely see her, because she is weaker (but still good, A-Tier Killer), but she is still not fun to play.

I'll probably mooch off of my friend who buys all the Killers.

But the Killer being nerfed means little to me. If you buy a Killer because they are OP, like Krasue, then you set yourself up for disappointment.

I have feeling you have never played Nurse and probably neither The First , if you think she has it harder and worse map traversal…
Correction blink is a thing and even her "missed" power gets her closer to survivor, unless she overblinks like crazy.
The First is hold W simulator and there is not much he can do about it.

He also has limited timeframe to even deal damage with his power.
It's funny how anyone can be so out of touch to think he is anywhere near power level of Nurse.

To me, the new Vecna is lot like Pinhead or Pyramidhead. They are strong killers when played at a higher skill level. (And in Vecnas case, an understanding of survivor movement and map layout.) It's extremely difficult to learn their power in customs because bots are extremely good at dodging their attacks. So you end up missing tons of shots in public matches and survivors getting smug and cocky and gens flying, which is extremely humbling and unfun. I can only imagine a higher mmr killer going against extremely good survivors, getting completely demolished because they keep missing every one of Vecnas vine attacks.

And that's kind of where I am on the new Vecna. Yes, streamers with lots of hours are zipping through shots and nailing people in every chase, but the average player IS going to struggle to use his kit more effectively. His powers are not as easily accessible as someone like ghoul. I predict it might be one of those situations where survivors in higher mmr want him nerfed, but over time you won't see a ton of killers playing him because of the higher skill ceiling.

I don't believe he needs a nerf. There is an argument to be made that an extremely good player will make vine attacks that are next to impossible to dodge without something like sprintburst, but I don't think that's going to be common enough to warrant a nerf.
