Survivor gameplay is the worst it has ever been
Does the company executives know how bad survivor gameplay has become as far as being unbalanced? I played about 5 matches tonight and I am already done. Once again, every match was another bloodbath, even against Trickster once. All at Rank 1 btw. How do these survivors keep re-queuing against impossible odds and killers being satisfied with non-stop wins? My mind is literally blown that this is acceptable.
Look at your statistics please and start balancing for fairness. This is honestly getting ridiculous that nothing is being done.

Im genuinely curious to know what your experience was like.
Can you please elaborate?
My survivor matches have been fine lately.

this is the worst bait i have ever seen from you. PLEASE PUT MORE EFFORT IN BAITS

I uninstalled the game because it’s too killer sided. Maybe you should try something else like me: HOME SWEET HOME SURVIVE it’s more balanced.

Are you sure your a rank 1? Because normally all rank 1 story's I read here are the complete opposite with killers getting bullied.
Also, because you lose 5 matches the survivor gameplay has been worst then ever before? You're kidding right?

Sluzzy, the mastermind of bait, is back with more. It's showtime folks! Get the popcorn ready, place your bets and raise the stakes! 🍿

Git gud

Yeah the smart move is to just ignore it and move on.
Honestly, at this point, I assume they are doing it on purpose just for the lulz; because it's often so unbelievably ridiculous I don't believe anyone actually thinks that.

It is honestly sort of entertaining in a way, to see what bait posters come up with though. I don't get upset over the posts, but it is silly what you can see in the comments.

I feel like BHVR has been improving the overall survivor experience with the recent change to moris and the soon to change skill check mechanic on hooks. This means fewer cheezy wins. I feel like they need to know where the balance is once these are gone. I personally believe that once these changes are made, if survivor escape rates remain low than BHVR needs to look at making changes to the overall balance of the game.
It is also my opinion that BHVR needs to make changes to killers and perks that remove some of the more underhanded strategies. Reworking insidious, making changes to Freddy or BT to stop him from forcefully removing BTs endurance effect, rework DS again or make a base kit anti tunneling mechanic.
The game's balance issues are only really obvious at high ranks. Before getting to high ranks both killers and survivors play sub optimally and you can win simply by playing more skillfully. However, skill has diminishing returns at high ranks and the mechanics play more of a role in wins and losses and I agree that at the highest ranks, if survivors and killer both play well the killer is at an advantage.

Maybe don't use solo que as a barometer for how strong survivors are.

At this point I think I might be baiting back. It's hard to tell. I don't know if I want a proper answer or a Sluzzy answer
3 -
I seriously want Sluzzy to live stream.
9 -
I think Sluzzy is beginning to realize that his bait threads are finally starting to die, so now he's not even trying anymore. Notice how they're barely clearing 2 pages of replies? When before his threads got like 5 to 6 pages + of replies.
2 -
The unbearable lightness of being Sluzzy? However do you cope with this terrible situation? I mean... most people have no problem playing the game. Since things are so bad, why are you still here? Seems to me if you are going to complain this much and keep playing you are either a hypocrite or exaggerating (constantly). I think if you are having this rough a time....

sluzzy more like sussly lol get it like the game among us

Honestly the only thing that makes survivor kinda unplayable right now is the pallet bug. Tonight no pallets have worked for me. I drop them, killer isn’t stunned, and still manages to hit me from the other side of the pallet.
0 -
and it's funny it's not even that bad. It looks worse than it is.
Basically, it occurs when the killer would hit you, and eat a stun at the same time, be it because of dedicated server lag or not.
Thing is the pallet stun part is bugged, so it looks on both screens like you just hit them through the pallet because you don't get stunned at all. Sometimes you just go "thunk" and hit the pallet and get pushed back instead of stunned, but again, you would be stunned.
It's annoying, slightly unfair and needs to be fixed absolutely- but it isn't making survivor "unplayable" like some people are complaining.

I’ve had it happened where the pallet would be dropped, then they would swing and hit me.
0 -
Yes, that's what it looks like. However it's only because they are not being stunned because of the bug. You get hit because the game thinks it's a trade situation which it likely would be, but since the killer can't be stunned usually because of the bug, so you just take the hit state and they are just pushed back like a few inches instead of being stunned- thus is looks like you are being hit over a pallet.
When the game sees that it would not have been an exchange, the killer will just hit the pallet with a thunk, and again not be stunned because that is the part that is bugged.
This is reproduceable at like no ping in custom games.

Haven't played DBD for more than 6 months, started playing again and I'm yet to win a single solo game. ALL ended in 4k so far. DBD has worst balance out of all games I have played recently. Why bother playing solo at all if you know you will lose? And DEVs refuse to admit the problem with solo.
3 -
Solo queue should have a fair chance at winning. If they don't, then it really means survivors are too weak compared to killers.
6 -
That would be worth watching. "Oh my god, there's a KILLER in this game?! How I'm I supposed to fix these generators when someone tries to kill me"
8 -
Or that SWF is too much of a game changer.
5 -
I have uninstalled the game because of this and now and after I post this message I am gonna uninstall Google Chrome and never got to the Internet and this forum
7 -
No one cares though. Solo survivors are just cannon fodder in this game, despite being the majority. Most solo survivors are not even trying to escape anymore, because its pointless, they just try to have as much fun as they can other ways, which is pretty sad. This balance of this game is seriously screwed, especially for solo.
2 -
i miss the old sluzzy. these baits just look too real now. ill give you a solid bait idea: make a thread about how every single killer perk in the game is op
2 -
I'm not sure whether you're trolling or not, but I must say: I support you no matter what. And you're right, survivor gameplay is the worst it's ever been.
4 -
How DARE the killer try and get me off the generator I'm working on!!!!! *Proceeds to write another thread on killer is OP*
In serious it baffles me how they made it to red rank... 🙄
3 -
The OP has beaten this dead horse so much by now, it's a wonder they're not on a PETA most wanted list.
1 -
Topic is bait but that is not mean true. Solo survivor exp has worst days ever sadly. Updates are not changes so much. SWF still strong and solo going to hell...
2 -
this is true

This time, I think you were just unlucky with those 5 matches. My survivor games have been fine.
Rank 1, by the way. Same as you.

Camping and tunneling are worse then ever. I won't make any wild guesses to why (stares at DS patch note). I'm not the best survivor but I routinely achieve rank 3 or 4. The quality of the recent games is terrible absolutely. I escape about 25% of the time, but, now when I do its because some facecamping killer parked on the other side of the map guarding his one trophy. The escape and game itself were meaningless and absent of fun. This happened three games in a row yesterday, but it has definitely seen a significant uptick in the last week or so.
Maybe this is some clever strategy to reduce server load by incentivizing players to play something else. There is no way, that the camped survivor had fun hanging there for the entire match. The other survivors playing generator m1 simulator had no fun. I struggle to see how the killer had fun, but they keep doing it so maybe killers like that gameplay. shrug It can't be good for the long term health of the game, of that I am 100% certain.

Babe wake up a new sluzzy dropped
3 -
Naaa, people are just playing to have a good time together and would never call out everything the killer is doing or where the hex totem is. I see no issue here. /s

It’s sluzzy. He’s untouchable.
3 -
I have to agree with the title of the post. Lately, it's just been non-stop tunneling from purple/red rank killers and it's just getting a wee-bit out of hand. Why is it that we still don't have the matchmaking update? We've gone through two trials now. Surely it cannot be that hard to implement a matchmaking system that is fair.

Hi Sluzzy.
2 -
I've been trying to complete heroic virtue challenge and I've been stomped 7 of the last 9 games. I've won my last 4 games as killer all by 4k.
Killers dominating games atm. I've even faced 2 pretty decent Trickster players recently.

Sluzzy: Look at statistics devs and make game more fair.
Devs: Ok = proceeds to revert all nuse nerfs and give her 4 blink baseline.
Sluzzy: No wait, that's not what I meant.
5 -
If the Sluzzy in the forums is the same as the one on the stats page, they're a hardcore Nurse main.

Who is sluzzy?
1 -
Sluzzy is our friendly forum member who preaches the truth about devs and how they're ruining the game with their killer bias.
But in reality he's just a guy who's so biased towards survivors and doesn't even realise it that he became kind of famous around these forums lately for trolling/baiting. People poke fun at him for his opinions as he doesn't really argue, more like rants about the game in a weird way.
He's got a few grains of truth behind what he says but he says it in the worst most bait like way possible.
3 -
still at it?
cmon man, at this point pretty much everyone is aware of your routine.
1 -
Who were the killers and their builds?
0 -
Maybe, but I think it is a little overrated. A good killer is usually unstoppable even with most SWF. Killers have too strong of perks, and chases are too short.
2 -
No Sluzzy, the devs balance the game around your games specifically so its as horrible an experience as possible for you specifically.
/s
2 -
Just missed the mark on that one, there's simply too much evidence to the contrary that get called "tournaments". Next time I'd go with something along the lines of Freddy and Spirit Vs an average casual swf,that seems to line up better with the idea

The more updates comings, the more its killer sided. Of course, if you look at all the killers main coming here to cry how evil survivors are..
