Why nerf “blank”
All these posts are the same "Dev bad" format that gets really, really, really tiring. The rants about people uninstalling/leaving the forums are just funny to me because they're back within a month complaining about the same old things that they said were the reason they "quit" the game in the first place.

My -other- is all the nerf (insert killer name) posts. Killer population is already dwindling (notice the influx of “why are survivor Q times so long”) , so keep on clamouring to nerf every killer and enjoy longer and longer Q.

Nerf/rework D-strike
It comes up almost every day. They are already aware that many people want to see DS getting nerfed. I too want to see it get nerfed, but it's getting very repetitive and irritating.

Why do you think most of these are listed? Because there are explicit problems with design that the devs are completely ignoring.
Spirit is a Killer that should be built on 50/50s, which are more like 90/10's (Spirit favor) with Stridor. 70/30 otherwise.
The devs nerf things that they absolutely shouldn't all the time, as well, like the Thanatophobia nerf a few months ago (which has not been reverted).
People are uninstalling because of the crappy state the game has been in since it has been released, and they're tired of it.
DS is not a perk that is used to prevent tunneling, about 30-40% of the time. That's a lot for a perk so powerful, that it can be used in so many cases where it really shouldn't be given the intended design. Do you understand how easy it is, with DS and Unbreakable, to just hop on a gen the second you get unhooked because the Killer can't do anything about it?
Personally this is the only thing said here that is legitimately annoying at times, with little merit. Queue times are because of the players, not the devs, complaining to them about it won't do anything.

"nerf BBQ and Chili"
Like, some of these I get..D-strike is obxnous and overused and well they reach for that undying dial way too fast.
Spirit does not need a total nerf just a wraith like thing when she moves maybe Idk..(Or hitboxes fixed)
I rarely see that many "I am going away" threads tbh
Why nerf "blank" Is more of a question do to many problems..including some biases in nerfings and well, glitches like Killer and Surviors lockups.
But,my god..I can not understand wanting to nerf..BBQ..It is ######### basic point farming and half the people seem to only wanna remove to "punish killers" Which would ironically, bring who knows what in Its place..Imagine a Ruin/Thrilling Meta.
I mean, like amoung points It is counterable and all people have ran It for is bloodpoints.
But,somehow this is a offense..."How dare me going "GG EZ" is not repayed in salt But "Well,I just wanted bloodpoints." from the Killer, I demand Salt." Levels of #########.

Nerf/rework D-strike
This one.
Devs know about the topic, they also know what people are bothered about. Personally, I dont think that everyone complaining is really complaining about hooking other people before getting hit by DS or anything like that.
But everyone who opens a new Thread about this topic seems to think that their Thread is special, while they are not. No point in writing the same stuff which other people have written already.

This kind of doesn't count as a complaint, but it is so frustrating to see people spam the DBD Twitter posts with "Please consider adding [Insert Licensed Character]".
If I had to go with something common on here, it'd be just the constant fighting between people. It's just depressing to see a community get this aggressive towards each other.

Yeah, I’m getting somewhat tired of that aswell

I don't mind people asking for things to be more balanced, no matter if I agree with them or not. So I don't really mind the posts asking for nerfs/buffs for killers or perks or whatever.
What does get very old are those posts where someone is like "hey I would like this licensed character to be added into dbd!" and then the replies are filled with douchebags going into a full rant about why that character would not fit into dbd or why they don't personally want them in dbd. Specially because most of the things ppl ask be added into dbd are actually reasonable, but other folk decide to reply aggressively for no literal reason.

It’s honestly annoying yet funny when killers complain about ds when it’s a one time use and it’s only a 5 second stun. Imagine if it was a multiple time use holy moly would killers whine even more.

Colorblind settings. I'm sorry, but unless you want to go in and add it yourself, then stop shitting on one developer who has made it pretty clear that colorblind settings are coming, but not a priority.

The community would not have to keep bringing up and mentioning certain issues time and time again if the developers would actually take the time to fix the problems in the first place and fix them properly. If anything, I'd actually be worried about the day when players stop complaining about certain issues because then it might give the developers the false impression that people like what they're doing or are content with the content that they've produced in the past.
Decisive Strike needs to be reworked. This is just a blatant fact, coming from someone who has discussed the topic multiple times over the course of multiple years.However,
The people who complain that "X" is Boring are definitely annoying. Most Prominently you see this moniker attached to killers like Freddy Krueger, Deathslinger, Spirit, etc. And though the arguments used to prove the point may genuinely be valid and well thought out, more often than not the word "boring" itself is often used as an argument itself rather than a claim- a sort of excuse to not actually have multiple points laid out for others to work over, debate, and potentially criticize.
The annoying bit is that you can just say "X" is boring without actually having to prove anything. "Boring" unlike an argument is a statement, and not only is it a statement it is a statement of opinion, "I think X is boring", which is really troublesome in a discussion because it's not something you can really refute. It's difficult for me to prove that you don't actually think that, since the conversation has strayed more into subjective territory rather than objective, more concrete ideas. Despite the fact that you holding such an opinion typically hardly holds very little if any weight or substance in the original discussion. All I'd have to say is "well I don't think X is boring" and bam we're back to square one.
The trouble is many of these people who say "X is boring" is that they always say it with such an air and tone of confidence and superiority, as if it actually means anything (but maybe I just imagine that bit in my head). Whether or not it's actually true that "X is actually boring" almost doesn't really matter because whoever is saying it already holds it as a fact to begin with. But then that leads to an entire conversation of whether or not you can actually prove whether or not something can be "objectively" boring in the first place, and the idea that perhaps everything we talk about on the forums is all opinion anyway, and that's just it's own whale of a topic. Point being the threads calling something "boring" are never good ones, and the conversation is always uneasy because they're typically not very grounded.
Disclaimer: Obviously this isn't every thread where it comes up, and obviously not every person is like this, but I felt it still needed mentioning anyway.

Why nerf “blank”
It's a one-time use, but to understand their perspective, it's not just a 5 second stun. The survivor effectively wastes ~8 seconds of the killer's time (the pickup animation is wasted too) while getting a free health state and reducing the number of incapacitated survivors by one. This really destroys a killer's pressure. Especially if you eat a DS while all four survivors are still alive, this one DS can easily be the difference between winning and losing.
I like that DS exists, but only as a deterrent to tunneling; that way the extremely strong effect is simply a deterrent to unhealthy behavior from the killer. That's unfortunately not how it exists now, though, so I'd like to see some changes to keep it effective in that niche while limiting its ability to be used offensively.

I want Spirit changed and I literally main her, but my gosh there's so many posts that complain specifically about her, it kind of gets old.

All of them. I'm genuinely starting to hate not only this game but also it's community. The Devs don't give a ######### about us and If you give an opinion that people even slightly disagree with then you either get turned into a laughing stock or ganged up on by over a dozen different people so it becomes difficult to respond appropriately. I've seen this happen countless times. The forums are so often just miserable, which makes sense considering it's the Dead by Daylight forums. A lot of people it seems are dissatisfied with the current state of the game which explains why a lot of the people on the forums seem pissed but it doesn't make for a very pleasant place to speak in.

Most of them?
The ones complaining about people complaining about something... #########. "Stop complaining about ______." Well, now I just want to complain about it more, but at the same time I'd rather not bump obvious bait.
The weekly "nerf BBQ" threads don't so much annoy me as baffle me. Perhaps some people think "OP" means "overplayed" rather than "overpowered"? Pretty sure the devs won't touch a perk that 1. sells Leatherface and 2. is mostly healthy for the game.
