Are The Twins as effective as they are unique?
Personally, from playing against them for what seems to be enough time for a valid judgement, I don't think so. I'm sure Otz, Monto, etc. can make them a reliable killer. However, me and my friends haven't had a match against them that we didn't escape.

Changing my main after 2 years
For those of you that haven't seen me here, I'm a huntress main with about 3.8k hours as I'm typing this. I've played huntress pretty much exclusively for about 2k of those hours. And now I'm deciding to put my baby to rest and perfect a new killer. I've played all killers and can win with all of them but I'm leaving it up…
What's stronger: corrupt purge Plague or blood fury Oni?
Without consideration for the timers of each, meaning if they had their respective abilities for the entire match, who would be stronger? For my two cents, I'd vote for plague. You can't juke and it just seems that projectiles can have more of an impact, especially if the survivors are already injured, not to mention…
Which fight is more interesting to play out
Any i forgot?
Should here be more polls?
I come here once every 1/2 days, and usually there aren't many people in the polls section, neither as many polls as I would think, since this should represent the entire dbd community pretty much. A lot of people are in the general discussions, and that's understandable, but I'd like more life here!
Battle Royal (dlc)
Which killer do you think would win a battle royal? All of them would be fighting on a giant sized map with the loot being ad ons and some perks they could get, who do you think would get the W? How do you think they would achieve victory? Now, all of them get their base powers from the start. For the zone, it would be the…
Hey dbd community! I got a question! You do still using the default skins on your characters?
Title. I think that although they may seem boring, they retain that nostalgic essence, from when these characters were first released. Who remembers in December 2016 when the chapter flesh and mud came out? ace and hag. Who remembers that July 2018 when the Curtain Call episode came out? kate and clown. You remember when…
'Plunderers Instinct' Option for Killers
Got a little scenario here for you: So your Killer of choice hit P3 a while ago They have since picked up every perk and maxed them all out And you have used all your good addons / offerings Now what do you do? (I'm in this situation with all my fav killers) Option 1: Dump more bp into an already maxed out killer to get…
Should Legion's Fatigue get reduced to 3 seconds from 4 seconds?
I personally hate the 4 second Fatigue, it feels sluggish and compared to other Killers with lethal powers the Legion does have the longest Fatigue of them all. Reducing it to 3 seconds would make Legion a much more enjoyable Killer, with this change of course the Fatigue add-ons would probably need to get reworked into…
What would you think about an option to "sell" offerings and addons to the entity for half its value
i can only speak for myself but there are lots of addons and offerings that just collect dust and pile up. outdated event offerings and splinters fog offerings map offerings padded jaws since the entity munches away on our bloodweb anyway; why not add the option to throw it a treat in exchange for some bp from time to time?
Battle Royal (non-dlc)
Which killer do you think would win a battle royal? All of them would be fighting on a giant sized map with the loot being ad ons and some perks they could get, who do you think would get the W? How do you think they would achieve victory? Now, all of them get their base powers from the start. For the zone, it would be the…
Hey DBD community! I have a idea!
Do you think that should be in the game think like decks? I mean that what if they add. editable decks where you can choose 4 perks for each deck and rename them? I think that would be great because I don't like searching for a perk that i want. It will be more comfortable to pre-select your own edited deck with your own…

Waving / Flailing arms whilst hooked
It appears the game has mixed messages in regards to people moving / flailing their arms whilst hooked. Some believe it to mean "Killer camping" and some believe it to mean "Safe to unhook" When you witness a survivor waving / flailing their arms whilst hooked, what do you take it to mean?
Survivor: The match starts. What is the first thing you do?
So, you are playing survivor and the match starts. I have seen people do different things at the start of the match and of course the way people act at first might change depending on what they have around them. Did they start near a gen? Or a totem or a chest? Let's imagine the match starts and there is nothing or anyone…
Should there be a change on how the daily rituals are generated?
So, every day we log-in the game and a new daily ritual is generated, for either role. You can't pick the type of ritual and what role you are given, but you can reroll once per day. Since there are gamers that only play as one role, do you think the way the rituals are generated should change? I often get more killer…
Is 'Immersion' a healthy thing for the game?
Personally I find going against survivors who regularly hide instead of taking chase to be really boring as killer. It's understandable if they're in a complete deadzone but playing against immersed survivors when they have numerous strong loops at hand is just unpleasant to go against. At least for me. Aimlessly wandering…
Pyramid head (Executioner) little change to make him better
So, as from the wiki https://deadbydaylight.fandom.com/wiki/Pyramid_Head, if you stay in a 5 meter radius as Pyramid the cage will despawn and go across the map elsewhere. This is the problem: it's 5 meters. Not 8, or 10. 5. You can still camp and get the kill no matter what, there is only one way to save, and you can just…

Personally I don't use it anymore (maybe if mmr comes back) but I used to.

Was the change to pyramid heads chase theme an improvement to you?
I have seen a bit of division on this issue, some say the new added effect take out the Silent Hill vibe and for others it seem like an improvement, what is your opinion on the changes to PHs theme? For reference PTB Live

What survivors or killers should be added next from TV series or movies?
We already have stranger things dlc but what should we get next for dlc. If you know of a specific survivor or killer from the tv series or movie please mention without major spoilers.
When there are two survivors remaining in the trial, upon one survivor disconnecting...
We've seen it happen plenty of times: The survivor that has been t-bagging and harassing you (The Killer) the entire match, final gets knocked to the dying state. The last survivor is caught in the open. One survivor disconnects so the other can instantly escape through the hatch for free. Its annoying and unbalanced.…
Is matchmaking fair?
Most of the time I get to play against either much more skilled or much less skilled players. In my opinion it seems like the matchmaking system became broken or inprecise. I think it was way better back in the days. Since I haven't found a way to ask the devs directly (facebook redirects here, nobody comments in my…
Do you try to unhook yourself in front of another survivor that came to save you?
I ask this question because I'm seeing survivors trying to unhook themselves in front of other survivors that came to help them. And I don't mean when the killer is camping or when the survivor has the perk Deliverance or if no one is coming to save you. A survivor is on the hook, another one comes to save them from the…
Is hatch a "fair" mechanic?
Worst map in the game for killer?
Imma exclude some maps which are objectively better, such as coal tower and dead dawg saloon, because of how small they are (other than their structure and how close gens are). Consider that some of the mse maps literally still have 1 or even 2+ good loops, no breakable walls to counter Here you can check all maps:…
Object of Obsession
Game-breaking perk. Kills the entire atmosphere. OP with SWF that already has a fifth perk with map-wide comms.
Which Survivor Has The Worst Set Of Teachables?
Same as that one I made for best three teachables, but instead of best, it's the worst. Personally, I'd say either Quentin, Ace or Ash. Probably Ace since his perks are all situational and have a weak effect on the match.
Matchmaking Ban
I totally get the ban but I’ve been getting banned because my internet disconnects mid game it’s happen 3 times in a row and I’m on a 72 hour ban because of it. I never quit my games I play them all the way out it’s not fair. There should be something to let y’all know whether it was the player or just technical…
Why isn't the killer from "Too Many Cooks" licensed yet?
I'm practically wrecking my brain looking through the character selection to choose the killer from "Too Many Cooks," but he is inexplicably nowhere to be found! I thought perhaps this should be submitted as a bug report, but then realized there could be other issues at hand like maybe his model has too many polygons to…
More survivor interactions?
I’m that type of player who every match likes to get to know with other survivors first. So I’ve got an idea that it would be kinda nice to see more interactions between survivors and not only the point and come over here gesture. Of course I really don’t want to see some sort of fortnite dances either in this game. But…

What licensed killer would you like the most to join Dead by Daylight? (OUTSIDE SURVEY)
Hey everyone! I know this is a topic that gets a lot of attention all the time, because getting a new killer is always exciting. So many great concepts and ideas floating around. BUT I wanted to take a closer look at what licensed killers people want in the game. Whether it is from movies, shows, games or cartoons and…
What do you call a double heal?
When watching content creators on youtube, twitch, etc. they will sometimes say survivors are doing a double heal. But I've noticed that there's 2 apparent definitions for it. 1: when two survivors co-op heal one survivor or 2: when two injured survivors heal each other one after the other.
Best map in the game for killer
Imma exclude some maps which are objectively worse, such as Mother's Dwelling and , because of how big they are (other than their structure and how far gens are). Unfortunately I can't insert more than 10 maps, but I tried to insert the best ones. Not necessarily the smallest are the best, remember. Try to choose which is…

Boil over rework?
I saw somebody's discussion about reworking Boil Over and it got me wondering how I would rework it. Boil Over is a practically useless perk and needs to be changed. What about: You obscure the Killer's ability to the see hook auras within 20/25/30 meters. Your struggling effects are increased by 75%. Your wiggle speed is…
Should Object be reworked to the point if being nerf or keep like as it is.
Yes object should be nerf or rework or No it should not be nerf or rework
Do you think keys should be removed or nerfed?
Yes No
Do you want perks balanced and buffed even if it means DLC perks get a buff too?
In the recent Q&A they said they didnt want DLC perks to be more powerful to avoid a P2W dynamic (which makes no sense because we have bbq, ruin, undying, DS, inner strength, over half of which are licensed dlc) Would you want to balance more perks even if it means making DLC perks stronger?

Demogorgon Rework?
Ever since release, I've always thought that Demogorgon is quite underwhelming - and pretty unrewarding even when playing well as it. If there was a big or small rework to Demo, what would you all want to see? Please specify?
Would you give up the next new killer for bug-fixing and QoL changes?
Just trying to see where the community stands. Would you be willing to forgo new content (i.e. new killer/survivor, cosmetics, map changes... etc.) in exchange for the devs fixing bugs and performing quality of life changes (i.e. reworking Daily Rituals, The Rift... etc.?) Not talking about balance changes. There's plenty…
