Best Of

Pallet density update, happened a few months back, I also agree it's beyond discouraging as a killer, your best bet to counter play pallet density is to play killers that hit through pallets, prime example being pyramid head, others like nemesis and xenomorph are basically all you got otherwise you're going to be pallet stomped out of existence. Your other option is insta kill killers like ghostface or the chainsaw guys, the game for killers since the pallet density update is actually horrible and not fun at all. It's literally every game you get somebody running the windows & pallet perk or a lot of the time they don't even have it, there's no dead zones they have a pallet and two windows plus a shack and jungle gym area in every section of every map. Bhvr hand holding at it's finest.

I never said that exposed is unbalanced, it simply too common and it never feels good to be hit with and on the other hand it doesnt feel good if you dont hit the survivor with 1 hit down.

Killers like ghostface, myers, billy, bubba, oni are boring to play against but cool to play as when you get 1 hit downs. When I play against them it feels like a waste of time. Kaneki is more fun to play against even when i get the succ through a boulder or a wall.

I never run vigil because there are more interesting choices, like literally any "press a button" perk is more fun to play with than passive that helps 5% of the time.

Sure I can run sprint burst with toolbox and mow through gens as fast as possible but whats the point?

That's just an immature streamer with terrible sportsmanship and emotional management skills being salty about the game and wanting to lash out at someone and picking whoever presents themselves for it. Don't bother taking it seriously. Just report the cheater in post game chat and move on, these people aren't worth wasting time or energy on.

BHVR have said no such thing as any survivor that escapes when there's a cheater in the game being responsible, although I think maybe if you actively queue with someone you know is cheating, that's bannable.

It’s 2026 and still no 120fps mode on ps5/xbox series x….

I do think killers do it more as they have information on their opponents, meanwhile survivors have it on their team mates and cant just leave lobby based on opponents but do agree both sides can affect the MMR balance of lobby.

I would really like the pre lobby to be replaces with a screen like dbd mobile had where you could see your other team mates perks and ad ons loading in, Killers would see what survivors are being played and items on this screen. but it would also give a matchmaking penalty for leaving the game at that screen as I would consider it a part of a match just the information / prep part of match.

Like you said, it's an outdated feature altogether. All it does it encourage lobby dodging from both sides, not just killers do this by the way, that's a narrow minded way to look at it. Both killer players and survivor players are guilty of lobby dodging, which in turn makes both wait times to get into a match and matchmaking as a whole worse. But ultimately, the only ones we can truly blame is BHVR for keeping such a terrible feature in the game for so long even after adding an MMR system.

Players on both sides check profiles before the match to try and "self police" the lobby by dodging weak players on their team, or killers dodging strong players on the enemy team, which ironically just makes the matchmaking way worse for everyone as backfill tries to fill in players in an even larger range than before.

Removing pregame lobbies completely and simply matching 5 players together, having them press "Accept match" to verify that they're not AFK, and then going straight to loading screen and into the match would be infinitely better than what we have now. Offering screen could be skipped too in my opinion, since it's just boring BP offerings and 90% of the useful gameplay offerings are hidden anyway so what's the point in showing them and wasting time on that instead of just getting on with the match?

I don't think they'll change this but it baffles me that one of the players biggest complaints is matchmaking, but BHVR simply aren't willing to bite the bullet and do something dramatic, but effective like removing lobbies and letting people wait for slightly longer in queue to actually put together a good match.

Killer ques are 8 mins in my area yet I've still had multiple people just dodge my survivor lobby.

I see MMR complained about all the time, meanwhile a killer dodging a lobby which makes that lobby have ruined MMR is ok?

Killers going next in the lobby is the same to me as a surviour going next when they realise its a killer they dont like. both are just leaving as soon as they see things that dont go their way.

Remove the killer being able to see survivors in the lobby, It is time and is a outdated feature in a pvp game.
