I miss old DBD for the simplicity of matches.

I've gone on a bit of a nostalgia trip and looked at some old videos and old clips. I've always thought the game was more fun in 2017-2018, and I now understand why; the simplicity.

There were only ~10 killers, with the majority of people playing the first 8 to release. Chases and chase powers were fairly simple, and people didn't understand how to abuse infinites. No Boons, no Tome challenges, and no overly complicated perks. The maps were all fairly fun to play on, and the lack of balance was charming. The old maps had a sort of "watercolor" aesthetic and I think it looks better than the current "realistic" ones.


Just a little rant about my nostalgia for the game back then. It's definitely more balanced now, but has lost some of its charm. Or maybe just rose-tinted glasses.
