Intro

Hello again I'm The Milk Man and today I wanna start a new series of discussions. I wanna talk about how I would've made certain things in Dead by Daylight and give my reasons why. Obviously I'm not a balance god but I think I've played enough to create a post about this. My goal is to get the gears of the community turning and maybe even get some changes for killers and survivors.

JIGSAW'S BAPTISM: REVERSE BEAR TRAPS

Reverse bear traps currently don't feel good on either side. Sometimes the survivors get it off first try, sometimes it's the last one. So I propose a change to the jigsaw boxes. Instead of each trap having a specific box, instead every survivor gets a random number of searches. In addition to this, I think Amanda needs 1 throw away trap, meaning her base amount will be five. I'm not sure if I would take away the Last Will add on that she has (which could give her a total of 6 RTBs). I'm questioning my idea of the Reverse Bear Trap changes so let me know what you think.

Jigsaw's Baptism: Crouch

Crouching isn't a big problem for the pig. She's lower to the ground so survivors can't see her, she has no terror radius, but in return she walks slower so it's fair. However, the main problem I see with the power is the crouch recovery speed and line of sight. In most maps, grass blocks her sight while crouched which hinders her ability to find survivors. I'd make her crouch more of a kneel which might ruin the power.

The next idea for a change is the recovery from being crouched. After crouching, the stance back into standing is long and is barely a choice in the chase. I think they should change the speed of crouch recovery, but not the speed it takes to go crouched.

Jigsaw's Baptism: Ambush

The ambush attack that the pig has is surprisingly ineffective. In my many games I played (both for testing and for fun) I used the power maybe 20-ish times (give or take).The power has it's uses but I have a small tweak that will definitely need to be tested if it ever happens (you guys have a PTB for a reason lol). Once you begin to charge up the ambush attack a pig growl comes from the pig. Now remember I said once you begin the charge. I think the growl should start half way through the charge. This'll give the survivor a smaller time frame to escape but doesn't give the pig a 100% chance to hit the survivor. If it seems not balanced properly, you can decrease the time ambush is active for.

THE TERROR RADIUS

It surprised me a lot that her base terror radius was 32 meters, the same size as the trappers base TR. However, her play-style (being stealth and quick attacks) doesn't fit a terror radius of this size. Sure, crouching eliminates this but it also slows her down a bit. And even for a thematic reason (because the devs want the game to be thematic lol) it would make more since for her to have a smaller terror radius because she is much smaller than the majority of the killers. If I could choose to change the terror radius, I'd revert it to 28 meters or even change it to 24 meters. This will assist the pig in her stealthy play style.

The Speed

I found myself content with the pigs normal speed. It complements her slow/stealthy play-style. And her crouched speed causes her to move slower with no terror radius. It fits the character and her play-style.

Final Thoughts

I believe these changes could change the killer forever. Utilizing stealth and the ability to uncrouch fast to gain the advantage in the chase. I wanna here what you have to say and how you'd change the pig as well! Keep the chat constructive. Thanks for reading.
