Best Of

i have to disagree with the comment of its either something you do its not….as killer i never DC because its not worth the penalty. Would i DC penalty free if i could? absolutely i would. Its not just something you do or you dont, its about opportunity.

The lack of DC penalty about 8 months ago was not that well known, might have been known on the forums but this is a small percentage of people considering the player base. Many heard about it like a rumour but was never 100% sure. I would be up for giving it a trial, maybe a month of free DC's for all, let it known in the patch notes and highlighted so EVERYONE knows and see the amount of people that DC over a month.

If you don't solo queue you are lacking skills a good solo will have and are therefore underestimating them and the entire baseline for your beliefs about gen speeds. 

I think this is a good point. There seems to be a frequent confusion between good players and players in a SWF. SWFs can be good, they can be bad, that's a different thing.

But if we limited the discussion to just really good players, would they be better in a SWF? Sure, though how much would be an open question. Would gen perks be improved compared to other elements? That seems like one of the least significant changes.

@jesterkind already covered this basically - but there are plenty of things killer's have called unfair. Perks, to map design, to items, to even the existence of SWFs, to how the abandon system is set up, and which questions BHVR asks about in their surveys.

It'll mean something different to whoever's speaking at the time, I'd say.

I mean, if you ask someone with a heavy killer bias, they'll say the opposite of what you're laying out in this post, it'd only be people with a heavy survivor bias who'd hold the opinions you're referring to here.

Personally, I'd say "fair" should revolve around everyone having a chance to engage with the game on roughly equal footing. Obviously it's an asymm so that's a subjective target, but outliers like tunnelling and real genrushing builds are pretty obviously unfair by that definition.

Why? Is it because they are finally playing against people of equal skill level and therefore failing to get even 10 wins in a row? Unimportant really. If anything, a stricter MMR would make winstreaks more interesting to watch because then they would be winning against actually good players.

I'm sure they're working on something. Whether or not it won't be awful or scrapped is another matter.

Seriously. Why is everyone so mad. As a killer main it doesn't matter what I do survivors are mad in post game chat.

Get a 4k 12 hook never tunnel or camp game - "Trash killer, go touch grass"
Survivors get a 4 out despite it being a close game - "Trash killer ez game"
Simply play the new chapter - "You need help uninstall the game"

My personal favourite

Play a game with Lightborn - "Trash meta running killer"

Now don't get me wrong. I used to be mad at the game. like if survivors give the bags or i got outplayed i would get angry but I've moved passed it. These days i just play for fun and if i get rolled i get rolled it doesn't matter because it is only a game.

So i ask everyone to do this.
To those who take this game as a casual game for a bit of fun. If you see this behaviour in post game simply post the meme "Its only game… Why you have to be mad"
And to those who rage post game because of one of the thousands of reasons you come up with I beg you. Do what I have done. Take an extended break from the game, play something else because its just not worth it.

I would generally like to know why you get so mad as well. Like what goes through your head that you have to throw insults post game either because you lost or even worse because you won the game.

I politely dislike your idea. Blight would become Wesker with higher turning rate.

Trust me, you wouldn't want to go against a Blight with 70% turn rate, even if it becomes weaker than he already is. Would be a Kaneki with more steps.

To me, his problems lies on him being 4.6 and having speed addons. Maybe if the was turned into 4.4 and had another addon pass (removing the speed addons) Blight would be in a much better spot than he is now.

But, to be honest? To me, i don't have an issue with Blight. Its more rare than anything to go against a good Blight these days that i don't mind having a killer with this strength. Those of us who survived the Mother's Daughter Ring + Amulet era can withstand anything haha

Historically disabling the penalty and it being announced has always lowered overall match quality. As for 8 months ago maybe it was well known in smaller percentages of the community but I still saw people asking "is the dc penalty disabled?" like they didn't believe it or not. But EVERY time it was publicly announced by BHVR that they were disabling the DC penalty (like when Nemesis released and his whip was crashing console players) it was just overall a worse time for the game.

Knowing this community a majority would just DC at any minor inconvenience and is especially worse if a killer does it because you queued up for a game and it just abruptly ends vs the game can still go on.

It's to prevent him turning every unhook into either 4 tokens and a worldbreaker activation, or a double wound with an undergate attack, which would be wildly unbalanced.

Even with vines it would be a guarenteed 2 tokens or double wound during world breaker.

Remove that restriction and he would become a tunneling machine

Sucks that it always does that by hook Regardless of the situation. have surv players been abusing this? But i guess it would be difficult to code it to only impose that restriction on an occupied hook and during and just after unhooks. Be ideal if they did though.
