    Tunneling, camping and genrushing are just things salty players say to blame their losses on something external.

    Spirit is a very fun killer to play against. Decisive strike isn't that strong.

    I disagree, it definitely is a unpopular opinion. I think some of the charms are boring and lackluster, but some of them look great on hooks. Great hot take!

    I agree, it's how the survivors/killers want you to play, play how you want. However to some extent I think if a killer is not camping at all and everyone just gen rushes it is bad. I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion.

    I think all the talk about 'Daddy Myers' and people requesting a topless Myers skin is just completely embarrassing.

    I... agree, I find that the joke was never funny, maybe it was to some people but it is SO overblown now. I also cringe at the fact of a topless myers and anything with 'daddy' in it delegitimizes anything that person says to me after that.

    I agree that spirit is fun to play against, she has a unsettling atmosphere about her and her movements are so well done, and her power is fun to play against because it has counterplay but it is hard to play against as well. I personally disagree that decisive isn't that strong. You get a get out of jail card for being hooked, which should be punished.

    Yep. I hate them too and always have.

    I discount them from any Rift Pass as I just don't use them. They're pointless tat.

    When you get these YouTubers who review the pass and just gush over all the little charms...give me a break.

    Unpopular opinion... But Empathy is op???

    I mean you can see your teammates from (at most) 126 metres when they are injured

    This is not fair because you can heal them anytime you want because you see them at all times.

    Yeah, I could do without the charms. They just sit in my inventory because I dont really use them and always feel like a "meh" reward in the rift.

    I'm actually fine with that as it would be his film representation.

    I agree. I have mained Freddy since his release or have always played him consistently. I didn't get why people thought he was so trash. He can apply so much pressure with his power. Are we not going to mention how good the pill and class photo were on him? However I like new Freddy more and think he is the 3rd best killer in the game.

    I dislike watching YouTubers play DBD (or any game for that matter). I find it almost nauseating watching them stream, with them constantly squealing and making stupid voices.

    Was he as strong as current Freddy thou ? Also I don't think that he got his rework because devs thought he was weak but because he was extremely annoying to play against while breaking the game on a few aspects.

    Playing against him mostly consisted of brainless looping since he completely denied all other playstyles with his perma wallhacks & invisibility and his stall was either great or bad based on luck pretty much. His main learning curve was learning his sleep transition mindgame and everything else was just average killer gameplay knowledge with some alterations due to his power.

    Ofc I wasn't maining him so just my opinion but from pretty much all games against him or gameplay's that I saw of him, there wasn't as much depth to him as some people said. At least I never found anyone playing him in some extremely different way.

    I agree for the most part. I only find the actually entertaining players play the game. Yerv is very nice and actually interacts with the chat. The king and paulie esther give me good news, but that's the extent of it.

    My hot take is that Scott Jund, and ZubatLEL are not the best killers in the game and not even that close. I find huntress is not hard to play at all, with such hitboxes, you just need to be able to aim. Zubat mostly plays the best killers in the game that are very easy like nurse and hillbilly. Also the most complex killers in the game are trap killers. These are the most complex killers, 1. Hag, 2. trapper, 3. The Oni, 4. Freddy, 5. Nurse.

    I don't find those Samination DBD videos funny.

    I don't find them funny but I find them entertaining.

    Guys I think I will be doing this let's argue segment once a week, sometimes with themes.

    DS and BT being in every match and on 4 survivors so often at red ranks isn't healthy for the game. I understand why they exist. I understand why even I use them. I don't agree with creating more problems for the main problem instead of tackling the actual problem.

    Challenges ruin the flow of normal gameplay too much. Ruin was perfectly fine. Current Nurse is incredibly unfun and her basekit should be restored. Spirit, Freddy, and Deathslinger are all incredibly boring to play against and killers like that shouldn't exist. More loops should be safe but also more mind gameable.

    Most of "the best" streamers for either survivor or killer generally have opinions that only apply to 0.1% of the playerbase, ie people who literally play the game for a living, as most people do not play at their level of supposed skill and a lot of their opinions shouldn't be reinforced. There are a few that have good points and do view things from both sides, so while you may not agree, they're probably very accurate.

    The community isn't as toxic as people make it out to be, it's only toxic when you play toxic, and I rarely run into people who are toxic, probably in part due to how I play both sides myself.

    Ds, bt, unbreakable are all fine.

    Freddy is not op, neither is doc or any other killer

    People whine to much about these things while ignoring the real issue, gen speeds. Not that gens should be slower but that there needs to be something else between the survivors and the exit gates besides 400 seconds (which can be reduced significantly) and 1 person trying to stop them.

    Killer vs. Survivor arguments are 99% whiny garbage. Just play your best without hacks or glitches and where you end up in the pecking order is where you end up. No shame in other people just being better than you.


    There are no objectively good or bad killers, just people who can or can't figure out ways to utilize them that fit their personal playstyles. Nothing wrong with that either.


    Broken and Deep Wounds do not overlap as much as they desperately need to. Either take off stipulations and speed up Wounds or make Broken available in more add-ons/ perks but as of now, I won't call either one useless but they are very ineffective.


    DS is fine as is BUT it actually ENCOURAGES tunneling. Why would a killer who was just holding you NOT complete that hook? That's a stupid expectation. Take DS if you're an expert looper and distracting the killer for your team but, if you're really not that good it will show based on how quickly you're downed again. No excuses.


    Finally; My Ghost Face is BOSS as #########. Fight me.
