How should BHVR approach balancing?

The meta at this point has become rather stale for survivors while the killer meta is just slowly adjusting to when essentially the best gen-slowing perk gets nerfed and hardly much else changes. BBQ/DS is basically guarenteed to be ran in every game and we all continue to get spammed with meme perks like Déjà vu in our bloodwebs.

Wouldn't it be great if BVHR would hurry up and fix all these problems! /s

Of course, making balance changes more frequently would result in some regrettable balance changes that would be reversed shortly but personally I'd like to see how dbd would evolve in a meta of ever-changing perk builds.

There is of course the PTB but this chapter shows that evidently BHVR doesn't exactly pay much attention to it seeing as how around 100 bugs arrived with the chapter and seeing as how the Bloodlust experiment was just applied straight to live for a couple days, it doesn't seem that hard to believe BHVR should just go straight to live for balance changes.

    Frequent balance changes might seem like a hassle for the developers, but it's the least they could try to see what the community actually approves of when giving feedback on what does seem like a fair reasoning on the type of balancing that's being made, such as perks and special killer abilities. If the game is gonna get updates every now and then for that side of balancing I can be patient and wait, it shouldn't take that long to update. However there could be a possibility people could complain about it, but eh can't really satisfy everyone at that point, people play dumb when it gets to that.

    I agree with more frequent updates, I only said PTB just incase they screw something up it won't kill the game

    we definitely need more changes to sort out long balance standing issues even aside from all the bugs:

    some kind of refund system( i don't need or want 70 reagents or map addendums or prayer ropes)

    perk exclusion: you have a level 1 killer and there are 70 possible perks that can appear in your web right? what if you could flip to a negative page( ie. perks u dont have on that killer) that shows all possible perks that can appear and for 5000 bp you can stop them from appearing from all future bloodwebs and delete it from a current blood web(entity eats it) fully reversible of course. 5000 per reverse.

    obligatory "now moris are nerfed. key nerf now!"

    making plague's power a full commit( tap 2 and a tablespoon of vomit comes out as opposed to now where tapping m2 just stuns yourself)

    is auto aim breaking my neck with oni after a demon strike or does he face a random direction after a demon strike? if it is the former plz stop
