The second iteration of 2v8 is now LIVE - find out more information here: https://forums.bhvr.com/dead-by-daylight/kb/articles/480-2v8-developer-update

This is why killers call the game survivor sided!

This type of play shouldn't be possible in the game. It doesn't matter that "not every swf is like this". If you pay 10 games and 2 of those matches are like this, you're probably done with the game for the day, which is why survivor queue times are horrendous these days.

No counter play at all. Over use of the "tactical" flashlight macro spam, "non-game changing" boons, loops that are too strong, etc.

I can't imagine new players sticking with the game if this type of play is allowed to persist.

    Dude, that's just a hacker. That's not how the game works.

    What does solo q not working for me as anything to do with a streamer with thousand of hours losing against a SWF team while playing a weak killer?

    Lightborn exists. You cant get blinded with Lightborn.

    You dont know if the survivors are using stretched resolution, you only see the killer POV.

    Flashlight macros are annoying, but they do not win you matches.

    Oh you mean when people tell others to use "small game" to counter noed and "do bones"? But yes, I do agree that we shouldn't have to use perks to counter other things.

    Of course it matters, it was one of the things you mentioned. I'm totally against stretched res, I don't use it and I don't think it should be possible at all. I see it a lot when I spectate random team mates.

    When did the devs say flashlight macros are "tactical"? Do you have a source for that?

    Lol at recommending Lightborn when he's playing a build that a viewer paid money for

    That's not relevant. You aren't the one being paid by viewers, he is.

    This post is not about "poor tru3" it's about "poor killers" in general.

    Totems and NOED aren't broken game mechanics, so your comparison is a bad one.

    You basically agree here. It can't be proven if they used it or not from that video. Regardless, it shouldn't exist. Tru3 was probably right though, it's much more likely that they were using it than not.

    I'll see if I can find an actual source. I've seen it in a few random threads and in some streams, but I don't have first hand knowledge of it and could be completely wrong. Even still, there's no reason for it to stay in the game when all it is, is a griefing mechanic.

    Flashlight saves aren't broken game mechanics.

    Just because you lose doesn't mean the other team was using stretch resolution. Most likely he lost because he was using a crap killer against a coordinated SWF group. If those groups are even difficult to face as top tier killers, of course Legion is going to struggle.

    The killer is also locked in an animation when picking up a survivor in the open. So what is the difference between being locked in that animation, and being locked in a locker grab animation?

    And I do agree if the bean is outside of their POV, they shouldn't get blinded.

    You can use lightborn. It's free, it's a Billy perk. You know if there's flashlights in the lobby, so you know when to equip it.

    "The killer cant do anything against a flashlight save in the locker", they can, they can use lightborn, or even franklins.

    This is only one extreme. Lets not forget that "most" of the time it is the complete opposite. A killer is completely wiping the floor, camping or tunneling as an overpowered Leatherface or some other killer.

    Killers are overpowered but this happens one time out of a 100 and suddenly everyone loses their mind because the killer couldn't bully.

    This is a game with 5 players. The one player is not supposed to win all of the time. And right now, they do most of the time.

    "Oh he turned left at a jungle gym instead of right, entire game is worthless to judge. If he had just turned left it would have been an easy 4k!!!"

    It’s not a hacker. They were on comms and have a loop where if one person dives into a specific locker, and the killer opens it, then a survivor on the second floor can drop down and get the blind 100% of the time. No hack needed.

    That streamer plays dbd for a living, has 7 k hours into it and still manage to do alot of beginner mistakes. He's a mediocre killer at best. Starts complaining when he should focus on solutions. You should not take his advice on the game without a pinch of salt.

    SWF is hard, i agree. For killer to counter it, It requires adaptation. It requires reasearch, knowledge and passion to compete at high mmr.

    If you want to see how the state is of the game and how to counter high mmr, you need to watch Otzdarva. Simple as that. There is a reason he has 4 times the viewerbase.

    Still better than complaining about flashlight saves when you have something that literally counters them 100%

    @Marigoria Did you even watch the video before posting? If so, tell me what he could have done to actually win there.

  • Marigoria
    Marigoria Member Posts: 6,090

    I did watch the video. You dont have to win 100% of your games.

    Like I'm also not supposed to win a game when I'm using no mither and someone dcs at 5 gens.
