I have some

Midwich is an enjoyable map

Ghostface is the most annoying killer

Hawkins is my favorite map

Dead Hard doesn't take skill and is cheap

I don't think Legion needs a full rework

Thoughts?

    1. Lies
    2. Also another lie, James is the most OP killer in the game
    3. That's your opinion
    4. Facts!
    5. I'll agree to disagree

    Unpopular Opinion: This game becomes more fun if you actually mange to change up your build rather work with the same build! I stopped running second chance perks as a survivor and I'm having way more fun and improving my gameplay! I'm still trying to learn Huntress at basekit with no perks or add-ons, it's a bit of a challenge but it helps me understand Huntress a little bit better

    I disagree, Michwich is visually beautiful but is terrible, long corridors with empty rooms filled with either tables or chairs.

    I love GhostFace too

    Hawkins is my favourite map too

    Deadhard does take skill but it’s too long to talk about.

    Legion needs a full rework, we need a killer that feels like a group of killers, not a single teen killer.

    1) Yes!

    2) Also yes.

    3) Nah, Midwich is the best..

    4) It requires skill, but not a great amount of skill.

    5) Legion is mostly fine, I don't like two things about him: losing power bar after normal hit and getting fatigued after ending his power - exhaustion could allow you to see things at least.

    • MMR was one of their best updates
    • Bleeding out is better than being sacrificed
    • I like being tunneled
    • Gen times should be decreased

    Both sides are pretty hard to learn and take skill, people just often forget cause everything is easy after putting in hundered to thousands of hours

    Nurse is overrated and not even a little bit

    Legion is fine outside of some QoL and small buffs.

    People ask for reworks way to often, most things in this game can be fixed with slight tweaks rather then taking a year to rework, not to mention robbing the original design. There are people who miss the og freddy gameplay, however bad it was

    Midwich from how it looks is great, but from the gameplay it is one of the worst maps in the game imo.

    Ghostface is ok, he needs some changes tho, like making the reveal more consistent for both sides, and reducing his cooldown, personally I would also change the 99 strategy.

    I don't like Hawkins.

    Dead Hard is cheap, I agree.

    Legion needs some small buffs and QoL changes, like complete add-on rework and reducing the fatigue to 3 seconds.

    Midwich is indeed the worst map.

    Legion is super boring to play against. Spend all match mending over and over. Thrilling.

    I prefer Farm maps.

    Oni, Spirit, Phead, Freddy are the most annoying and broken killers and should be reworked.

  • SlothGirly
    SlothGirly Member Posts: 1,146

    Alright, unpopular opinions? here we go:

    1) Huntress Lullaby, and I'm All Ears are crutch perks.

    2) Blood Lodge is a fun map.

    3) Calm Spirit is op.

    4) Camping is fun, and viable.

    5) Face Mask is best Pig Add-On

    how is Ghostface annoying

  • MythMage
    MythMage Member Posts: 521

    I 100% agree with everything except gen times. MMR was probably the best update. I felt myself being challenged by good survivors that were reasonably in my skill level (I'd say around mid purple).

    Bleeding out is such a rare occurence that it's almost welcoming. Unless you mean where you hide while the killer is trying to find you to end the game. That ######### is dumb.

    I enjoy being tunneled too. It gives you all the chase time from the killer.

    Gen times should be increased if they were to change at all. As killer, I don't want to be forced to run 3 slowdown perks every game. It ######### sucks. I just want games to last longer than 2 seconds.

    1. Balanced landing is the most fun exhaustion perk
    2. Stealth killers are the most annoying to verse
    3. The whole game is a loading bar simulator
    4. All indoor maps suck
    5. plunderer's should guarantee a flashlight

    1. Balance landing needs a buff
    2. Ghostface is one of the most unfun killers to play against
    3. Nurse isn't a fun killer to go up against
    4. Hawkins is extremely unfair

    Mine: Devs want a 50% kill rate. (No one can agree with this)

  • DoritoHead

    -Legion needs an overhaul

    -Phead is fun to play against

    -Deathslinger requires skill

    -Adrenaline is just as bad as NOED

    -Huntress is a top 4 killer

  • DoritoHead
    DoritoHead Member Posts: 3,546

    that's not an unpopular opinion, that's just common sense.

    Unfortunately most people don't have it.

  • TruffleTurtle
    TruffleTurtle Member Posts: 614

    I agree with that. Changing up your build every now and then makes the game way more interesting

  • JustAnotherAnon
    JustAnotherAnon Member Posts: 79

    -Skins are overpriced. (Why does a purple outfit for a character cost twice as much as the character themselves? Why do we have to go through 1 whole devotion rank just to buy a purple skin?)

    -The Battle Pass sucks. (It's a massive grind and a ton of the skins are recolors. In this pass, the recolors aren't even new ones, they're just "upgraded" version of the mobile lootbox reskins.)


    -Hag is the most annoying killer. (I literally run ubran evasion just to have an easier time against her.)

    -Borrowed Time needs a small buff. (I don't like how stealth killers and Freddy can just negate the effect, it should always go off rather than when you're in the killer's TR.)

    -Shelter Woods is unironically the worst map in the game. (No BL drops, and 90% of the map is a dead zone.)

  • Saltjar34

    Repressed Alliance is a good perk because it counters the Ruin Undying Tinkerer meta

  • Asssblasster625
    Asssblasster625 Member Posts: 629

    Ruin+undying is fair just like dis+UB

    old doctor was more fun

    ph is perfectly fine

    scoops ahoy Steve=best survivor

    • Freddy should never have been reworked, his power was fun and interesting even if it was weak. The new Freddy is strong, but boring.
    • Insidious Bubba is fun, but not for facecamping. Being able to hide around a corner with an instadown and scare survivors to death is one of the funniest things you can do.
    • Autodidact is a good perk.
    • Old Legion was alright, and they didn't need a full rework. Yes, proxychasing and Frank's Mixtape was absolute BS and you were the worst kind of Legion main if you did this, but those could be fixed instead of throwing the entire killer out of the window. Turning another interesting killer into an M1 killer with extra steps was an absolute shame.

    • Hillbilly is a very bad killer (because he is very unbalanced).
    • Autodidact is the strongest survivor perk in the game.
    • The Gideon meat plant is the best map in the game.
    • Old Freddy was better than the new one.
  • TruffleTurtle
    TruffleTurtle Member Posts: 614

    Yes! So glad somebody said it. Ppl will say it's bad because you need 60 seconds on a gen but realistically imo you're doing gems anyway and this helps soo much.

  • TruffleTurtle
    TruffleTurtle Member Posts: 614

    I didnt understand the game at the time but now that I do I can appreciate how interesting old freddy is. Imo new freddy has alot going for him and he feels oppressive when versing. I feel like they could of buffed him instead of reworking him.

  • NoOneKnowsNova
    NoOneKnowsNova Member Posts: 2,785

    Windows of opportunity is the best solo perk.

    Huntress Hitboxes are fine.

    Balanced Landing is the second best exhaustion perk. (Behind Dead Hard)

    The only overpowered killer is Freddy.

    The game is more balanced than most make it out.

  • OllieHellhunter
    OllieHellhunter Member Posts: 703

    Yes I agree with all o these , though I would say theres quite a lot that can break the balance

  • HealsBadMan
    HealsBadMan Member Posts: 1,122

    2 things:

    -Hag is potentially the strongest killer in the game, used correctly.

    -Spine Chill is underrated and is the strongest Survivor base perk.

    Old movies are overhyped. While they did get the industry where it is today, they had some of the worst writing and dialogue I've heard.

  • danielmaster87
    danielmaster87 Member Posts: 9,730

    I don't think DS should be a skill check. Because of console skill check stuttering, I miss it about half the time. If the devs are so focused on it being an anti-tunnel perk, why leave it to chance?

  • edgarpoop
    edgarpoop Member Posts: 8,454

    Facts. It's part of the competitive survivor meta to counter that exact build. Repressed Alliance and rotate someone over to finish it when the killer runs someone off with Tinkerer.

  • Squirrel_Thicc
    Squirrel_Thicc Member Posts: 2,677

    Killer mains are more entitled crybabies than survivor mains most of the time.

    This is MY opinion so don't get butthurt if you disagree.

  • RocketPenguin
    RocketPenguin Member Posts: 374

    Basement should be removed, it promotes camping and allows killers like trapper and hag to just ruin games. I like the idea of a spot that gives killers more pressure or mulitple respawning hooks.

    Don't think it should be removed right away but it just incourages camping and i don't think thats fun.

  • CLAUDETTEINABUSH
    CLAUDETTEINABUSH Member Posts: 2,210

    Unpopular opinion, sometimes it's viable to camp or tunnel and generally don't at by the survivor rulebook. For example if you're against an ultra altruistic swf or they've opened a gate or you can't find the survivor that unhooked and you decide to chase the unhooked survivor to get rid of their ds. You're a killer that's your job, to apply pressure.

  • JawsIsTheNextKiller
    JawsIsTheNextKiller Member Posts: 3,367

    If a survivor has a key, always facecamp them. Even if you are playing survivor - That way, you win a key!

    devs actually said DS is not a anti-tunnel perk thats something the community made up because of how it works

  • danielmaster87
    danielmaster87 Member Posts: 9,730

    Then they could go ahead and decrease the timer to 45 seconds since that's what Pop got.
