Which is why resources should be based around the killer you are up against. Why should Ghoul, Blight, Hillbilly, Dracula, Singularity, etc spawn the same number of pallets as Ghost Face, Trapper, Legion, Pig, etc? Makes zero sense. You don't need a variant for every killer either. Just 2-3 tiers would be better than the one size fits all approach we have now. It would essentially be selective pallet density.

You've heard my take, brother, many times.

That's a bizarre question. If you're a tryhard you'll end up in upper MMR. I couldn't care less what happens up there in psycho town. If it's all comp 4mans with clock callouts and tunneling, slugging killers they can absolutely have one another. The conversation around the game shouldn't be about its tiniest percentile. People in parties should be able to win against people on their levels, same sa anyine else. I'm not going to win against a tunneling p100 Blight whether I'm in a party or not.

But as far as I'm concerned, a comp 4man should be the dominant force in this game if they're all that good, as killers are the dominant force at every other level. The 4mans aren't though, because plenty of killer-players have 80-90% KRs and can clearly deal with these teams.

what was that? tunneling is having a negative effect on your games? here's 1 singular blood point to make you feel better.

have you considered buying our 10th year anniversary sable and huntress DBD bundle?

Depends on the killer I'm playing, though i switch up perks often out of boredom. I mostly just play Freddy and Pig these days.

My current build for Freddy is Corrupt, Batteries Included, BBQ, and Zanshin (slept on for Freddy, though I find the auras can be overstimulating so I switch it up at times). I'm mostly chase focused. For Pig, currently Corrupt, THWACK, Brutal, and Plaything. I like to keep them busy.

Or maybe killer players on Asia servers are not as good…

The Key item rework, the gamma slider, the customisable scratch marks colours, auto bloodweb spending, hook suicide prevention, survivor bloodpoint gain increase, and you could count the Freddy rework if you like that one, dealer's choice there.

Less gameplay related, but the original survivors this year were awesome. Vee and Orela are both really cool, both as characters and as representation, so there's that.

You could also count some perks, new and buffed, and killer releases if you like them, which is personal taste. Personally I think Springtrap's pretty cool but the last killer that really excited me was Houndmaster at the tail end of 2024, so they're not on my list.

I get what you're going for here, but it is important to give credit where it's due as well. We don't gain anything from pretending nothing good happened last year, and we gain a lot more from acknowledging what the specific disappointments were.

This  criticism feels kind of incomplete. There’s some truth in it, but very little nuance. “Get good” can be used to justify any imbalance in the game. Just because something is theoretically possible with enough time and skill doesn’t mean it’s reasonable or healthy expectation for the average player, which are the majority. 

We don’t hold our standards with edge cases. A 400+ win streak on Clown doesn’t become the baseline just because it exists, we recognize those players as outliers. Expecting that level of performance isn’t realistic, and we accept that for killers. That logic shouldn’t disappear when the role in question is survivor. The way you phrased it gives the impression that surviving a hardcore tunnel isn’t a difficult thing to do, that it doesn’t require at least a thousand hours for an intense knowledge of looping, maps, resources, perks, and individual killer mechanics, that of which there are 40+ of. 

Happy New Year! I hope everyone has a great 2026, see you in The Fog...
