What would have been the result of Dowsey's hardcore survivor challenge without comms?
I mean these people work is to play dbd daily up to 8+ hours since years, I wonder how would these perform without comms.
I suspect that they would fail extremely hard, and that would prove game is built in favour of the killers, and solo has nothing to win even if in a team with 3 other survivor whose whole existence to play dbd for years

Was it the challenge with the other big streamers? If yes, I'm pretty sure the would have won most matches, but perhaps each first or second game someone would die (it's also very map depended, some maps are pretty easy while some can be a nightmare). Also it's fairly killer depended. A weak killer like the Onryō would probably kill noone on The Game while a Nurse on Midnight with a certain build can easily annihilate even 4-man-SWFs. To sum up, they would have won most matches, but some of them would've died.

I don't think it was ever meant to prove anything in the first place, it's just a challenge between friends done for entertainment purposes/to make the game interesting for themselves during the time between big DBD updates
They barely managed to complete it with comms, not knocking anyone's skill it was difficult.
if anything they might've done better without comms in some of the matches because they were constantly panicking/tripping over each other. No comms would've made coordinating extremely hard during the few instances I remember it being crucial, such as the endgame where a bubba was facecamping or the double range (pre nerf) nurse match.
Either way half of the challenge they faced inexperienced killers due to MMR, doesn't really prove much.

Well yes, but if you think about it the challenge isn't something you should realistically be able to do in-game. There are 33 survivors in Dead by Daylight. Considering a 4 man squad that means 8.25 deaths per player and the challenge fails.
It takes, on average, 140 games to go from Ash to Iridescent.
8.25 deaths. From Ash to Iri. 140 trials.
Not being able to do that in solo queue is not evidence of a killer sided game.

they probably wouldve lost all the survs around gold 1
when the killers started getting better, survivors started dying. with no comms the first survivor probably wouldve died earlier and when the first one reached gold theyd have probably be down to a very small cast of survivors
on the contrary, being off comms wouldve helped since thered be no comms to clear, and itd be much easier to focus in chase and such against the stronger killers
edit: this challenge proves nothing in terms of balance, and the adjusted no comms theorising bit in here also proves nothing. the game is very well balanced right now

Nothing would've changed since they play on fresh account vs brand new players. I'm not saying it's the easiest thing ever but when you have over 5k hours vs brand new players it's like playing on Easy Mode.
