The second iteration of 2v8 is now LIVE - find out more information here: https://forums.bhvr.com/dead-by-daylight/kb/articles/480-2v8-developer-update

The issue with the current Designer notes.

I feel like the biggest issue with the current proposed notes and the cause of so much outrage is the language of the developers notes.


It references only the survivor side and is very much from a survivors point of view. I'm not attempting to accuse of survivor bias but the notes really come off badly.


Doctors issues are not mentioned a single time in his own rework notes, Only how much survivors dislike him(and as worded he is actively nerfed as a kneejerk). Why is a killer rework only talked about from a survivor point of view?


A good way to quiet this storm is tell Killers how the Doctors rework benefits them.

Second: release the usage rate of the big survivor perks so you can show that Ruin is a complete outlier compared to things such as adrenaline


tldr The Dev Notes as written set you up for this backlash and did you no favors even if things end up fine.

    I can't disagree with this. The Ruin section being written the way it was is more understandable since the perk affects the gameplay of Survivors. But The Doctor notes particularly should have said a lot more about how it's going to feel to play with him, not against him.
