Why I think BHVR is having a hard time balancing DBD
Note: I'm writing this and then going to bed. I will respond tomorrow :)
Note2: We all know that the devs need to listen to their community. We don't need to beat a dead horse.
Ok so, Scott said it perfectly.
"If you buff I'm all ears and out it on clown; is that OP? No! Of course not because it's clown. However, put buffed I'm all ears on nurse and is that a bit unfair? Well yeah it is.
This is the case with many killer perks. The strongest killers will be too oppressive.
Now if you buff survivors to compensate, that's an issue because survivors are too strong. There lies the issue. They won't do the heavy nerfing that they need to do for survivors, and so their only option is to buff killers; and they won't give any sizable buff to them.
If you need survivors there ARE certain aspects that you need to tone down for killer depending on how much you're nerfing survivors. However, I think that big nerfs to survivors would allow for better game balancing, and thus more killers; and mega thus, better queue times. Bad queue times are one of survivors main complaints.
Let me know your thoughts!

There's a simple solution, buff the base kits. Instead of thinking perks are the go to thing to fix why not buff the base kits that way its that killer and that killer alone that reap the benefits And adds more variety. Or you can keep nerfing killers make excuses as to why keep only two as viable and suck up to survivor mains cause that is sure as ######### being put on display easily now.

Im curious to see what new basekit abilities killers should have. I see a lot of people saying Kindred should be basekit, and the devs are gonna make BT basekit. What should be basekit on killer?

Nah, it is difficult because at low mmr killer is oppressive and at high mmr, survivors are busted. Simple as that, how could they possibly fix both problems at the same time? It is literally impossible. I do not envy them.

Some sort of early slow down, some thing with the same effect as Corrupt Intervention where it helps out tremendously in the early game
All survivors should spawn together as well

Probably nothing so survivors can keep spending money on ######### given how that last QnA offered.
