The Q&A stream was almost pointless
Few things I want to touch on that really frustrated me with the this Q&A. Firstly Patrick’s understanding of what “skill” is in DBD shows he does not understand his own game. His analogy of using hockey as way to describe how DBD’s system should work is a terrible way describe it, DBD is totally different to hockey… In hockey everyone’s working towards the same goal, defending and scoring goals till either team gets the better score. DBD is a 1v4 scenario where getting kills on killer or doing gens and escaping on survivor is the main goal. Kills can equal skill yes but hooks show way more skill in my opinion for the sole reason that it usually shows that the killer spilt his pressure amongst all survivors instead of catching 1 survivor, camping them and killing the rest with NOED but only getting 4 hooks. A survivor who runs the killer for 3 gens, saves there teammates and dies is way more of a skilled player who hides all game then escapes through hatch or the gates. Your PIP SYSTEM even tells you that with both hooks and gens etc.
Another thing is we learnt pretty much nothing from the stream because every answer but 1 was either “no” or “soon”, look I get you don’t want to announce things then have to backtrack on the idea and disappoint us but you’re already doing that.
The community is always let down because you throw out all these ideas, say they’re coming soon and they either just don’t come out or take 2 years to finally release. Ever since the dev (can’t remember his name) blew up at a viewer about colour blind settings being added then magically the next day it’s been announced that it’s coming in the next patch after we waited 2-3 years getting the same response of soon which mind you should have been something that should of been added once the game started blowing up.
I haven’t played DBD in over 2 months now because it’s just constant disappointment. I don’t ever plan on coming back if this game doesn’t have a major turning point. Apologies for being so rough but I’m just sick and tired of the same response to everything followed by more and more disappointment.

Its either a problem on market - developers applying to bhvr, or they have made an bad business decision for giving Patrick a role of lead game designer.
I and many more have the same opinion, that his vision is not inline with dbd.

Why compare this to a sport?
It's not a skill based game If you want a skill based game there are many many better options.
This game has way to many safety net perks and rng balancing issues to ever be considered that and unless all sports just decided to let people dope or disregard all the rules without repercussion comparing this to any sport is a horrible idea and you are better off comparing this game to a casino because of how luck based it is.
