Re: Should Killers in Chaos Shuffle be randomized?
This would be cool, having your character completely randomized would not be good but this I could get behind
Re: Buffs for Ghost Face
I agree that Ghostface needs some help. I think he needs a buff to help him get around the map and to chase down his victims. I think something similar to the 2v8 buffs where his movement speed is increased by 10% haste while in shroud could really help ghost face get around and down survivors like he does in 2v8. But maybe for the standard 1v4 it could be 5-7% haste.
He just needs something to help in chase and get around the map, giving him a permeant speed boost in shroud gives him incentive to expose survivors because exposed survivors can't reveal him. As I said before something like 5-7% would be good base kit and then maybe add-ons get reworked and it can be 10% with drop-knife or something.
Re: What would you love to see in the next 2v8
Hexes to be added. Of course they would need to be tuned for mode, but i imagine for killer you can choose one hex to pick from as well as the usual classes.
Re: Exhaustion perks nerf idea
Why nerf exhaustion perks when every killer coming out in the past couple years is another power creep with high mobility, area control, and killers can still try to slug and tunnel as soon as the match starts.

Experience of new killers?
Context: I introduced my friend to the game. He quit after around 100 hours, told me the reason is that majority of people are obnoxious and even game chats in MOBAs are less hostile places. I do agree that a lot of people who play this game are #########, but I pushed him for details, because I wouldn't say it's majority.
Apparently the killer experience is especially miserable. When you're new and still learning they constantly BM at basically every pallet and then chat, if he tried to ignore they would only BM him more, when you try to focus on killing BMing players they would escape for free (It's anti-camp mechanics and anti-tunnel perks he meant by this), later when you learn basics and get some kills they still BM at gates and in chat as well, when you get a bit better and get "a lot of kills" they call you a hacker and disconnect and/or BMing in post game chat anyway.
It is a skill issue, Dead by Daylight is actually very complex game to get into right now. I never thought about it, because I play on and off almost all this time (I started in 2017 during All Hallow's Eve and I am still salty that this isn't the main menu music to this day xD), but after his rant I did realize that amount of maps, different tiles and how you have to play them different basically as every killer is simply overwhelming and basically beyond the grasp of casual player.
You can say that playing survivor you will face all different killers and have to learn to counter them all while with killer you can focus on just one or couple of them and master them… and while it is technically right, survivor gameplay is quite similar and stress free majority of games while with killer you are under pressure the whole time.
He quit and doesn't want to come back, says he is not playing a game which stresses him and and which he "can't win even when he actually won".
Gave me access to his steam account.
I did some tests, because I have too much free time.
I played 12 games on his account and then 12 games on mine.
Some games I was pretending to be almost brand new, some I was giving my best, some I played like I was a bit below average - while observing how survivors behave.
Results are sad.
On his account all 12 games someone BMed, tried to BM or had to say something nasty in the post game chat. 12 out of 12 games. I have no idea what MMR is that.
On my account which I assume is on soft cap it was better. On normal games only 1 of them had a dude who tried to BM at first then got deleted and called me a hacker. In games I pretended to be very new there was again just one game where they actually BMed - starting with one dude, then 3 out of 4 survivors were trying to annoy me. Post game chat of course couldn't go without "######### trash". Other games people just left or died without saying anything about the killer (I don't count survivor brains arguing between themselves without mentioning the killer).
I honestly don't understand this difference and I was god damn sure my friend was exaggerating, but in literally every game I played on his account so far survivors were BMing hard and/or going ballistic in post game chat, regardless of the outcome.
I've seen this all, I get amused or roll my eyes, but I can see how new player can get absolutely livid when every game looks like this for them…
Yes. Anecdotal evidence, very small sample. Yes and yes, but still. 12 out 12 games played! If I was making a bullshit statement I without actually playing them I would say 10/12 to make it look real!
Survivors are making new killers bitter and then cry on forums that the ones who persisted and actually learned the game don't care at all about their fun or intentionally do ######### like bleeding all of them out. I wonder why?
You are doing it to yourselves.
And now we have ######### anti-camp mechanic which will let them out for free even if you didn't camp, but got super unlucky on vertical maps for example.
If not for new, licensed content to lure new players all the time this game would be dead.
Think twice before you do stupid #########… you're killing this game…
PS: I played Bubba and Huntress on both accounts as both of them can be extremely prone to bullying or extremely deadly.
PS2: Ah yes, tragic map design makes a lot of killer powers extremely limited, it does not help.
PS3: By BM I don't mean using flashlights, stun perks ect. I mean actual BM meant to get your attention, annoy you as much as possible and demean you.
Edit: Okay thank you guys for your replies, I am baffled, because it seems that my friend's account is cursed or something xD.
Re: What would you love to see in the next 2v8
I don't care what else you give him.
It feels like I'm fighting the AI more than a player, and that's bad design.

Do something about old Skull Merchant gameplay that has infested the mode. It has turned the fast faced gameplay of 2v8 into a boring slog.
Remove 1 zombie from Nemesis
That's all I want. Do not care about whatever else they do.
Re: Should Killers in Chaos Shuffle be randomized?
It would be nice to have the option to choose one or two characters you want to play, and then have the game randomly select one for the match.
