no its bringing up solo q to swf levels.

I say something needs to be done to help SOLO Q who are not as good, then go on to say SWF has that and can use perks to give them more time.

Soloq struggle to use those perks effectively as they have no communication, letting soloq have comm wheel would allow them to try to do SWF plays with perks like shoulder the burden to protect the weakest player. if anything that gives them more time to improve as they get another hook state.

She definitely needs flute partially basekit like 15% or 20% but also some addons reworks. All you'll see is Cap, MDR with Rusty Flute because these are her best addons. Some Spirit mains like duration instead of speed because it gives you time to correct your position while phasing but only the green version is decent (Kaiun Talisman). I wish they nerf the purple duration addon from +3.5s to 2s and remove the speed debuff (Yakuyoke Amulet). Cherry Blossom is broken and needs to go. Furin is loud and will be forever bugged. Juniper Bonsai is just useless. Katana Tsuba you barely notice a difference and needs a new effect. Senko Hanabi is laughably bad. I also would love they give Wakizazashi some camera adjustments because it can be confusing to use. The rest are just variations and decent addons to play in interesting builds.

We are speaking about top blight player who is destroying comp teams so not all killers can go and do this, but nice try for feeding us vs them narrative I bet many will take it seriously.

Yeah that's how i feel.

I'm a bit conflicted on Joyce because similar to the kids she also doesn't really ever get harmed however that would be an opportunity to make it scary.

Doing the same thing with the children just makes me uncomfortable… like MCote has said before "We don't kill kids" but they are willing to add characters that are 16 yrs old?

My first impressions are sour because of this

Just weird that they chose characters that we've never seen over the age of 16 when there was a plethora of other options.

they would need to be pretty big rewards. a lot of vet players dont want or need BP, they have several characters at p100 and thousands of item/add ons. maybe throw in ranked exclusive skins, possibly shards….maybe, But even then, when they got the rewards they want its straight back to the casual mode to stomp

Making conclusions about balance based on extreme cases on either side makes no statistical sense. That’s like concluding “oh we have to nerf bats in baseball because Shohei Ohtani is too good at hitting.” Those cases mean nothing because they don’t apply to 99.9999% of players.

You have to look at the overall player population. Kill/escape ratio is 60/40 in favor of killer. That is a very intentional ratio target set by BHVR based on how many people want to play either killer or survivor. Clearly they found that this is the sweet spot where the highest number of people choose either side. Very important point: NOT EVERYONE IS GOING TO LIKE IT. You cannot please everyone in anything in life. Plenty of players, including myself, are totally fine escaping 40% of the time while playing the survivor role. Some do better, some do worse. That’s how averages work.

If you’re doing worse, it’s not because the game balance is broken because obviously plenty of other players are able to do better. It means that you yourself need to do better. I’m not saying this in a derogatory way - I was very bad at survivor when I started playing, so I understand how it feels. But I played more, watched videos from content creators, learned how to improve and now I can escape fairly consistently. And I don’t play all that much - maybe 3-5 hours a week. If I can do it, anyone can.

As per my stats.deadbydaylight.com stats, I have a 43% escape rate and a 78% killrate, survivor in solo queue just seems impossible to play right now. Peopl;e are disconnecting and giving up more than 60% of my games probably and the players are just not good enough to survive tunneling. I know people did not like the anti-tunneling changes but really right now survivors in solo q really need something to help them. Especially in skill rating like the 4 survivors are always on 4 different skill levels, i notice this as killer and as a survivor. Please do something, just please please please

I get why it had to go but now the problem is there's no infection worry outside of chase, spreading infection to others you ain't going to chase is pointless since cleansing is extremely easy and plentiful and leeched stage 2 99% of the time never happens.

Changes Krause needs is she no longer spawns mushrooms when changing form and Mushroom spawn rate is reduced.

True Horror is that nobody is safe no matter the Race, Age, Sexuality and etc
