Matches feel dreadful now the event is over
Basically the above. My matches have been absolutely miserable since the event ended, and the only way to get anywhere at all is to be so tryhard and mean that I stop being able to have fun. My theory is that only the super hardcore players who weren't even in the event queue are still around and everyone else has left:…

If Houndmaster could have a 3rd dog command, what would it be?
My idea was like a protective mode. When the dog is in this mode while you are walking around the dog stays close by your side (Much like he does anyways when walking) should a survivor come within X amount of meters of The Houndmaster he will attempt a quick lunge for a grab. (Just pitching an idea)

scourge hook buffs
what if we make it so 5 scourge hooks spawn in instead of 4, and they spawn in around the corners of the map and 1 in the middle? This way u wouldnt get screwed over by rng.

Average party size 2019 (what do you think?)
3-6% of matches were against a 4 man SWF. This data, even though it's quite old, is still relevant to this day since the average party size doesn't change by a massive amount over the years. https://forums.bhvr.com/dead-by-daylight/discussion/61114/community-community-data-requests Please spark some debates in here

"M1 Killer" Does Not (Inherently) Mean "Weak Killer"
I've had the idea for this post in mind for ages, I'm not subtweeting anyone here lol This is a thing you'll see people reference in passing quite a bit. If something harms lower-tier killers, it'll often be phrased as hurting M1 killers, or you'll see people say "M1 killers don't have the luxury of doing [X] thing". My…

Can we address the environmental collisions for a second?
So we all know Tricksters rework is finally coming up in 2026 and I heard that a decent amount of known Trickster players were talked to in terms of what would happen with the rework. So I am hoping this would include the increasing number of spots not only Trickster but also Death Slinger (To a lesser extent Unknown,…

Do you think we'll ever get a wolfman Killer?
Now that the Grimoire has been updated it looks like we're getting an angelic Killer, which I guess I'm okay with, even if I'm surprised at its popularity. But for a moment I was really excited at the prospect of the 'chimeric' type Killer, especially if it had gone in a wolfman/werewolf direction. 'innocent person who…

fix Crouch tech
Hello everyone, as an elder of this game, having legacy prestige and having played this game for more than 9k hours, I want to raise the topic of Crouch tech. And this trick is a bug and a flaw of the developers, the developers write that they fixed it, but this is a lie. Such characters as the villager, Mor, Victor,…

When is Forgotten Ruins getting a rework?
This map is super duper unbalanced. Way too small, way too punishing if you pop all gens in either the upstairs floor or the dungeon, and horrendous pallet and window spawns. Pls tell me you have plans to fix it 🙏

Is Kindred a “Must Run” Perk?
I was watching a moderately well-known streamer the other day who was saying that Kindred should always be in your survivor build unless you’re a 4-man team on comms. The argument is that it’s so much better than any other perk you could bring because of the information it gives you. I’ve always considered it to be a…

Top 5 most wanted killers
Here are the top 5 killers I would love to see in the game and please let me know yours. The Wolfman (2010) Since the game is produced by universal I'm surprised they haven't had the classic monsters yet. I do think the 2010 wolfman would fit the esthetic perfectly. He could have an all fours running ability to help chase…

DBD League is not Dead by Daylight...it's Dead by Deduction.
It's basically a small discord clique's opinion of what Dead by Daylight should be. I watched the finals and read over their rules/balance list and it's a completely different game that is greatly watered down in complexity. They have so many silly rules and a massive list of banned add-ons and perks and perk combinations,…

Why people claim Killer got suddenly hard to play?
For me I feel its totaly same as always. Nothing rly changed. Some games you stomp, some games you get stomped and most of them you get like 1-3K and do just fine.

About the Grimoire and how I think this killer could turn out.
Killer is Divine + Otherworldly Divine meaning “Godly, relating to a God. Pointing something like an angel or related to a “good” entity. I am thinking this could point to a situation where there is another entity or God like being that is the opposite of what the entity represents. Because the entity itself feeds on Hope…

People just dc instead of self unhooking now
One thing that i have noticed increasing tremendously now is that people will now just dc on first hook and rage quit since they can't self unhook. Now i know that we have bots now which do help (i did just 3 man escape out of my last match with the bot) but i find it wierd that people are just increasingly disconnecting.…

Should I not play Ghoul?
So when Ghoul came out, I immediately got him to prestige 6. I love Tokyo Ghoul. It was one of the first anime I watched and have quite a few a good chunk of the manga as well.

who was ur first ever killer, and who did u decide to main and why?
For my first, it was legion. I just liked the idea of running around the map like flash and stabbing people nonstop, it was fun at first but after a while i just realized what a truly weak killer he WAS so i stopped. But then i found knight, and i just really connected w him the instant i tried him, his playstyle, his…

Mid match leaving
Whenever I run The Pig with Lightborn people leave constantly and it throws the game because they're replaced by bots and they are broken.

So can we expect Vigil to be getting fixed in The Walking Dead chapter?
For those who don't know vigil is currently bugged to be 66% faster recovery of the slew of status effects instead of 40%. I would unironically go as far as to kill switch it because if every survivor is running it… The average status effect duration would be cut more than in half.

What killers would be fine with just a addon pass and slight changes?
Since we saw this kind of with Pyramid head with them making some parts base kit (range and trail duration and rites of judgement time) and them completely overhauling his addons (amazing pass btw love it outside of 2 that might be busted). I would include Billy but they also added overdrive in place of overheat. What…

Killer queue times on EU are awful...Anyone else currently experiencing this?

DC Penalties must be back ASAP
As far as i know, the DC penalties are not enabled - i don't know why.

Deja vu again and again and again
Ok another 2 games today 8 survivors running deja vu. What is the upcoming change to this perk? Is it going to be a nerf or buff? I don't play survivor but I'd hate to think it's a buff because I see enough of it as it is. Which / what is it? Curiosity killed the cat and all that.

Server problems?
I've loaded into a few matches and already disconnected once due to packet loss.

I'm playing on EU servers, so not…

He should also not have any dash abilities, I have been only maining…

What counts as "extreme slugging situations", for the upcoming anti-slug?
What counts as "extreme slugging situations", for the upcoming anti-slug?

If the killer has multiple survivors…

Basekit changes for Survivor and Killer
First of all, having had a pause from the game and coming back, to have found that DBD has taken initiative to fix certain core gameplay elements, not with situational perks, but with core gameplay changes, like Built in Borrowed Time, the Hatch closing mechanic, and allowed slugging/all hooked DC, makes me proud!

Chat function for console players
I‘m playing on ps5 and I really don‘t understand why the devs make such a big drama out of the chat function for console. I just want to be able to communicate!

why tf do my settings keep resetting every launch its really pisses me off
Every time I launch the game all my keybinds are reset and actions are set to toggle. Sometimes I forget to change all the settings before going into a match and it causes me to miss skillchecks or go down sometimes. Its really annoying since I change a decent amount of keybinds. Anyone know what is causing this to happen?

What is your favorite non-meta perk that comes in clutch and wins you the game ?
Wake Up! I love this perk. I just got a 4 person SoloQ escape with this against a Spirit by opening the gate and taking a protection hit.

"Addons are 20% of the killer power (c) Cote at some point very long time ago" tierlist
Made a tierlist of how much I think this statement is still accurate for modern day DbD. My main criteria would be how much worse these killer would feel without their addons, how much they rely on them to be viable and how much of a difference the addons really make. Tremendous difference are things like iri stone / bag…

Seeing Each Other's Perks Will Backfire
There are so many people who believe if it isnt meta or something they like - it isnt worth running. This is harmful to newer players or even others who like mixing it up or play for fun (not just for escapes). Survivors are already fairly toxic, and I imagine this will just exasperate it. I have been left on hook to die…

How would you rework “This is not happening”
I’ll go first.. “Under extreme pressure you seem to focus better allowing you to multitask!” Granting you 5 tokens at the start of the trial, any survivor nearby you within X amount of meters upon hitting a great skill check will partially also heal the injured survivor. Tokens refill on each hook the killer gets. I just…
