Best Of

Yeah, it got overnerfed. IMO it was never too strong and also never problematic. I would however disagree that there are too many Aura Perks going on. The Meta is mostly stacking Slowdown and most of the time the only Aura Perk I see is Nowhere to Hide or Friends till the End and/or Lethal Pursuer on certain Killers. All are manageable.

However, there were two arguments which were brought up when people wanted to nerf DIstortion:

• Rat Builds
• Too good against Aura Perks

And the Nerf failed to do anything against either of those. Killers just barely use Aura Perks, since stacking Slowdown is always the best choice, regardless which Killer you play. So nerfing Distortion did nothing for Build variety.

Nerfing Distortion also did not remove Survivors waiting for their teammates to die. First of all, full Rat Builds were rare, I almost never encountered them. But if nowadays someone plays like that, they just spend more time in a Locker, which is even worse for the team.

They can change the condition of gaining a token to either healing or repairing for a certain amount of time.
I want to believe that there is a much more worthwhile perk than Distortion in the works. Otherwise I don't know what the plan is.

brother I have been playing the doctor since 2021 that’s last 30 days not lifetime . It’s always something with this community I swear.

We need to continue giving feedback and mentioning the issue, especially during Q&A streams. The issue is the delay in revisiting scrapped ideas, I don't think they consider it game breaking; so a new system will likely be worked on later down the road. It all depends on what is planned months from now.

I think forcing people to post their stats or be disregarded as a troll is a dangerous game to be playing.

Not everyone wants to, not everyone is able to. You shouldn't be forced to do so in order to have an opinion.

If that's the route you want to go, we may as well lock the Forum unless you have a verifiable amount of hours in each role.

I got the impression that that was it, they have no more plans. I think they're hoping upcoming matchmaking changes do the job

The answer is they aren't going to they scrapped it and I doubt they'll revisit it even if they tried to it'll just be the same outcome Killers will riot and pretend it's the end of DBD and get any change scrapped.

The only way we can get Devs to listen is to just show were sick of how miserable playing Survivor is and just stop playing.

This idea is copied from Wezqu on december 16 :

Make token gain from generator fixing progress. Makes it more useful and as killer aura perks are just getting more and more. It also would make people do objectives.

This would literally fix the ratting issue and make distortion how it was before.

Not a stupid chase/stealth hybrid perk that no one is using (garantied, have yet seen a single person who used old distortion before, use the new distortion)

And before anyone points that this change was neccesary, it wasnt.

It didnt fix the ratting issue and now killers spam auras more than ever due to the buffs with zero consequences.

You are winning 60% of your matches no matter what.

Seems more like a skill issue to not being able to handle a little challenge once in a while instead of just going on winstreaks.

Dont believe me?, go find a swf who is willing to try this and you will not go past 20, garantied.

Why would the devs listen to a bunch of emotional noobs demanding a change that would prevent most of the killer roster from being able to stop survivors from escaping in advanced play?

Well, they listened to the emotional noobs on the Killer side, so no reason not to listen to Survivors.
