I think the game is pretty balanced right now.

Not even gonna lie, I don't think the game is as bad as people want to say it is. Not trying to downplay anyone who thinks otherwise, but I have gotten rather tired of the doom and gloom that comes from the forum.

Maps still need to be looked at (primarily Corn and Haddonfield), and keys need to be looked into a little, but I feel like I am outplaying others, both as a Killer and Survivor, more frequently.

Anyone else feel like this? I think the game is actually fun right now.

    I agree. Aside from a bunch of bugs, glitches, bad matchmaking and performance issues, the game is in a decent spot in terms of balance.

    Well, they have to fix gens, nurse's blinks (unblinkable walls, stones), wraith's bug (when you stun him, he will appear as uncloaked but he is still cloaked and cant hit), maps in general, totems spawns, finally after 3 months we got the sounds back, feng's breath is too loud, ace have in build iron will (you cant hear him when he's injured), maybe more survivor objectives?

    Just a few things that still have to be repaired

    The game can be fun if not everyone is trying hard. The problem is when survivors run all meta perks or when killers facecamp or something. The game is still very much in the survivors' favor when everyone in a match is actively trying to win, and the amount of value survivors can get with perks like DS, Adrenaline, Dead Hard, Sprint Burst, and Unbreakable is incredibly high if you consider that there are potentially 16 of those perks in one match.

    If they address the issue of many killers lacking early game pressure I think that will fix the majority of my complaints. Everything else has already been stated. Bugs, nurse blinks, map sizes ect.

    I wasnt around for the dark times but ive heard about it. I felt the game was getting better but the past few months I feel we've been going backwards.

    the worst matchmaking ever seen,many more errors than in previous years due to constant changes,very serious exploits both in maps and in addons or mechanics and sounds,and the worst servers


    I hope the title is a joke,if everything goes wrong you can't know if it's balanced

    The balance went down the drain in the last few months. Maybe they are able to fix it. Maybe not. In that case they killed dbd.

    To be honest, its better than the dark ages. There are still bugs, but this game gets new mechanics every 3 months, its always just going to have bugs.

    As for balance, I think they are taking all the right steps, I won't suggest the changes I would make because it's just going to start a riot.

    As to your point, of all the doom and gloom around recent updates. I contribute that to a lot of people unwilling to accept a tie as a good thing. Honestly if 6 outta of 10 of your games are a tie and the other 4 are with 0-1 kills or 3-4 kills, it means the game is in a pretty decent state.

    Technically I think if I am playing a killer I am better at such as huntress or spirit over ones like Ghost Face or Oni, I generally get 2-3 kills a game. Which seems fair to me.
