I wonder about this all the time too, because I usually just assume it's a perk or I'm misjudging. My mind just doesn't go to cheating unless it's blatant.

We're in complete hypothetical territory already on equilibrium being established and this is asking another hypothetical on top of it, that's why its so difficult to answer.

It depends on how big the change would be to kill rates. If the drop is minute (like 0.25%), probably nothing. If its something like 5%, wide scale buffs to basekit killer mechanics. If some killers drop and not others (say GF compared to Nurse), then those killers who dropped could be buffed in a way that would make them healthier in all situations without changing the killers who remain fine.

This is of course looking only at kill rates, there are other factors that might arise but that's the easiest one to look at.

I think situation 3 is most likely, so we'd need to go killer by killer to discuss what could be changed. But its a hypothetical on top of a hypothetical, so there are lots of presumptions that need to be made and it would be a massive amount of changes to list in a forum post which would require more data than we have access to.

Was that even the reason they killswitched him? He did that pretty much from the start, so I wouldn't really see the reason why they would've killswitched him because of this now.

I use reflective fragments thats the only time I have fun with him outside of tuft of hair since thats basically buffed old myers.

Ayy, thanks friend :)

What an honor that is!

And I gotta say I definitely agree with ya here. Strength wise he is fine, mostly due to people not knowing how to face him, but it doesn't change how boring he can feel.

Cheating is much, much more common than some people realize I admit. But 9/10? On my worst nights I have around a 40% encounter rate with cheaters. This is largely clear to me because as I've grown more familiar with the game it's becoming easier to tell the difference between when someone bugs bunny'd me as I rounded a corner, and when someone flat-out teleported.

That being said running a full haste build on killer was uh, we'll call it enlightening. Achieved somewhere around 15% and 28% haste (pre dim) over straight and relatively straight run engagements. Got a bit goofy so I went back to PWYF and just maxed the stacks and ran the sample when I was suspicious of a given individual, keeping me at 15%.

Moving at 15% haste, on a 4.4, put me to 5.09m/s. Meaning every second I should be gaining a meter on an unhasted survivor in chase. I did, somewhat regularly, find survivors moving just as fast as me, or faster than they should be when I did this. Now mind you when I say 'regularly' please recognize the sample-size is bias, as I only did this when I already suspected a given player of speedhacking.

That being said, BHVR has been pretty good at spitting out positive reports these days, so you may start seeing a downtick.

Actually begging BHVR to never add Darth Vader to this game.

I think having to pay attention to annual "May the 4th" celebrations in DBD would drive me nuts tbh

So I vote, right? It looks normal and everything seems fine until I reload the page, in which all my votes are gone. Are they still counted or is this a bug that makes it so my votes just don't count nor work?
