Should yellow mori be basekit?

I mean, it makes sense with the lore from the text saying "your worked well, the last one's yours" and wouldn't be game-breaking since if somebody is downed as the last survivor they are dead anyways unless the killer is merciful. If you vote no, please explain why.

EDIT: Ok, this mori should only work if you have killed all other survivors by sacrificing them on hooks. Also, it can already be hard enough to get this to work normally.

    Yeah, moris should be changed. But for now, I would rather keep things simple.

    Moris should be a mechanic thats Earnable through skillful play, not an offering which derails the match..makes no sense as they're a big part of the killers identity

    I just dont think that'd be the best idea.

    I would be totally ok with this. We would be seeing mori animations more often and it wouldn't be frustrating since you're pretty much dead already anyway.

    If you want to use a mori you need to sacrifice your offering for it. For as much as they're not broken, unlike the other moris, they still provide a benefit and can come in clutch in certain situations.

    What situations would it come in clutch in? Just a quick note, this should only be available if you have killed all other survivors by sacrificing them.

    There can be 2 survivors. You’re hooked, you get unhooked and then the other guy goes down and dies when hooked. Killer finds you:

    with suggested change - you die. No chance to survive.

    Currently - Possibly survive with unbreakable / soul guard Combo on. Maybe you have DS too and you get picked up, a chance to escape.


    with the suggested change it removes ANY counterplay at the end of the game.

    I just dont think having any sort of mori basekit is good. But I sont think it would change the game. I just dont want it.

    What is the point anyway? When you got the chance to use it the game is already over.

    Exactly, so why not murder the last survivor with your own hands just because? It is not like it will affect gameplay. Maybe get a BP boost for killing everyone.

    It would make yellow moris completely null and remove them from the game. I just find that there is something particularly satisfying about killing the last survivor after bringing a yellow mori. I do think however, that a new mori should be added to create more variety. This mori would be purple rarity and would be called Amethyst memento mori. This mori would grant the ability to kill two survivors who have been hooked by your hand during the next Trial, as well as the last survivor. It's not anything particularly special but again, it would add some distinction between mori offerings.

    That's kind of the point, by making something basekit you either remove it entirely or change it's effect completely so that it's no longer reminiscent of what it was. Which isn't exactly a bad thing and this has happened before, we've seen offerings retired from the bloodweb before for various reasons, the first that comes to mind are the Moonlight offerings which are really old but still exist in some bloodwebs, they just can't be used.

    And it's not like the community really loses anything when yellow moris disappear, for one they'd become basekit, but for two: it's not like they're really used all that frequently to begin with. There really is absolutely no reason to pull the yellow mori if you have access to a green, or an ebony mori, after all there's no distinction between the three when they're burned, they'll all be seen as secret offerings hidden from the survivor view.

    Also I think your idea of an "amethyst memento mori" is just not necessary. You may as well be using an ebony mori instead and there's not really much difference anyway, by the time you do kill two survivors the game is essentially over anyway. If you had changed it to be the first and last survivor maybe that I could see but even then probably not. Mori's are controversial as they are and there's no need or reason to add more of them to the game.


    As for OP's question itself, I voted yes because this is really a "eh, why not?" kind of moment. It's not like there's much a survivor loses, the yellow mori kills the last person caught, by that point the game is over so it really doesn't matter. If you wanted to let them go you could still do that so it's not like basekit yellow mori stops you from being merciful to the last survivor. All it does is put the cool mori animations more front and center in Dead By Daylight, and put to more frequent use.

    The biggest issue with making a yellow mori base-kit would be killers slugging the survivor that was a pain in their ass all game, and then chasing everyone else out to BM the last surv with the mori.

    Its dumb that new players have to burn a limited offering just to do their daily. Once you unlock Rancor you can avoid it but just having the option for a cinematic ending would be nice, wouldn't change gameplay at all so i don't see why not.

    I see what you mean, but this should only work if you actually sacrificed everyone else so you don't get a cheap kill. I edited this in the discussion above.

    U die instantly on hook anyway.

    Especially with the new mori nerfs we all know are coming.
