So you shouldn't be allowed to down vote something without writing an explanation? In what world does that make sense? Should you be allowed to upvote without comment?

BHVR could and should never add voice comms to DBD: the mechanical and moderating issues it would create would dwarf any minor potential benefits from letting solo Survivors directly speak to one another. A ping/comms wheel like in Overwatch would be easier to implement and use

A ranked system is tempting, but you know that the true sweatlords would use the casual queue to guarantee that their opponents are not going to be equipped to compete.

I've been wanting a really basic system to simply "ping" your perks for a long time now as survivor. You'd press Alt or some other bind, a wheel of your four perks shows up, you select a perk and then the perk icon shows up on the HUD next to your survivor.

Literally just that, no fancy implementation of showing people's perks when someone's on hook, showing unbreakable when someone's on the floor, etc… Just let the players show what perks they have in-game themselves on the HUD with this little menu.

That alone would alleviate soloq comms issues so, so much. At least at the level where players are actually paying attention to the HUD and know what these perks mean. Literally just being able to ping a perk would help soloq coordination and teamwork so much.

I agree. The flavor text gave the perks uniqueness.

But I guess BHVr does not like that. Because it's one update to make everything generic after the other.

Oh, I think the trust ship has sailed. It would be nice to get a decent MMR system though.

That'd be solved with highlighting the flavor text in yellow, making it italic and telling the players: "Hey, the yellow part is not important, it's mainly decorative. The rest is important."

Not just m1 killers, but many of the killers that are objectively weaker:

Bubba, Demogorgon, Legion, Myers, Nemesis, Knight

And which killers don't care? Probably the ones not running this perk anyway, and Ghoul, Nurse, Blight, etc.

Idk seems silly to nerf an already weak perk that doesn't see much use. It would be different if they buffed it as well. Maybe give it reduces stun duration from the pallet that triggers Spirit Fury.

Tbf that's because so many perks are bad and not worth running. Which is true on both sides but survivors do get a bit more variety at least.

Like Monitor, which was seemingly nerfed without reason, but itactually got nerfed in preparation for the new Furtive Chase, which was supposed to be reworked because it would overlap with Beast of Prey.

Only for everything to be rolled back and for Monitor to still remain crap.

And this change would just give them one more reason to do so because every other perk is garbage. And here we are talking about nerfing a perk that has been the same since basically its inception and has been totally fine.
