    Hard looping

    Broken RNGs in maps favouring either side, they should be RNG, it is one of the game features, but should be limited to an extent.

    Bubba still being able to deny any survivor he catches from playing the match.

    Cheaters having the amount of control they have over the match. Way too much of the game is dictated on the client side.

    Michael's Tombstone Piece.

    Seriously, almost all the insanely broken things from the game's past have been nerfed, like Insta-heals, Ebony Moris, keys and Iri Head. For some reason though, Tombstone Piece remains untouched. I like the mechanic of instantly mori'ing survivors where they stand, but you should need to work harder to make that happen so you can't just mori someone in the first 2 minutes of the game. The Judiths Tombstone + Fragant Turf of Hair combo is fine, though, and I think that should stay.


    Styptic Agent and Anti-Hemorrhagic Syringe

    Sure, they aren't instaheals anymore, but Styptic Agent stills allows you to extend a chase by one hit and Syringe can still heal you mid-chase. Both this effects are insanely strong and sometimes they simply leave no room for counter (try waiting for the effect of Styptic to wear off when the survivor is near a god-pallet. Good luck).


    Hooks Breaking Permanently

    They are one of the reasons why sometimes you need to slug the last survivor untill they bleed out. It should never be impossible to hook someone unless a survivor is actively acting to make it harder for you (like body-blocking, sabotaging and blinding).

    So I'll just let them bleed out then if I'm going to be punished for hooking.

    Depipping. Really doesn't make much sense when grades are in no way relevant to matchmaking anymore, and just makes already meh matches feel even more meh.

    So because the Scourge Hook part is disabled and the regular hook is left standing,you'll bleed people out?


    ???

    Downed a survivor in a corner (swamp map) and there was no hook anywhere close to get the kill. It cost me the game, but I guess skill issue :D. The other day got 3 downs in the same area during endgame and couldn't hook one of them and he just crawled to the open gate and there was nothing I could do, but skill issue XD

    Unpopular opinion but: Loops and the whole looping thing. I thought its a game where you have to escape from a trial where a scary mean killer trys to kill you, didnt think its a spin chess game where you run in circles.. like... not very authentic, not at all.


    But i have accepted how this game is not actually a "hide&seek" more so an "catch" concept. I still sometimes get thrown out when i see looping in content or see teammates loop, cant help but have the yakety sax theme playing in my head. At least when in loop chase myself im too concentrated to think about that.

    ok but then basement should bring more bloodpoints, because the basement hooks are rewarding for them not breaking.

    3gens like current haddonfield. why a gen spawns in the main building with no resources whatsoever is really awful and you can patrol the whole batch in 5 seconds

    Survivors in a swf being able to bring the same perks

    Huge portions of maps that are complete dead zones AND small areas of the map with so many resources that you have to be super bad to get hit as survivor when looping in it.

    Nurse in her current state

    The strongest strategy in the game being tunneling the first hook. Nerf this skilless strat to the ground, and super buff getting unique hooks.

    Healthy hook grabs (remove - such a skilless yet super rewarding 'tactic')

    Bloodwebs not having a quick complete button. Like...seriously.

    Blight's best addons

    Prove Thyself, medkits, toolboxes (i think there should be very little in the way of things to increase gen speed - that would make everything so much easier to balance)

    Map offerings (remove - these are almost exclusively used by players looking for an unfair advantage, as evidenced by the most popular survivor offering used was old Haddonfield)

    Eruption - such a terribly designed perk

    Hooks breaking after a sacrifice

    The entire self unhook mechanic

    Yh i had a midwich spawn with only 3 hooks on the ground floor. Had to down the last surv 4 times to finally get them to a ######### hook

    Oh yes.

    I definitely want a Mad Grit basekit

    I'm already imagining the plague milling around in the void, screaming its incantations continuously 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    Exactly. And when base Unbreakable comes out, they get free get-ups from that. The whole argument of "it's the killer's fault" on this issue is based on the false assumption that you have complete control over where you hook people. You don't. If they go down on one side of the map, you can't make it in time to hook them on the other before they wiggle off. That applies to less extreme circumstances as well, because for many patches now I've sometimes noticed that a single body block stops me from hooking people, because the nearest hook sucked from how far it was from me. "You just need better hook management." Why should the killer have to worry about that on top of everything else? We can't even get an individual hook counter. The amount of things killers are asked to juggle mentally and physically, survivors are asked to do nowhere near the same.

    I like them, as accessibility feature. Speaking of which...

    Killer being forced into narrow FOV shouldn't exist. There are some killers like Nurse I cannot play even with Shadowborn because it gives me motion sickness.

    1 map offering, hooks and fog offerings

    2 iri and purple addons/items (boost too much)

    3 dead hard (maps are already too much safe and adding in practice a 3rd health state was an AWFUL decision imo)

    4 adrenaline (healing part)

    5 all those pallets and windows near each other in certain maps (the game, lery, garden of joy are some examples) or deadzones without a single pallet/window (shelter woods)

    I'll jump into this because I'm honestly confused.

    You've lost the hook nearest the gate, the gate is open, the survivors are down.

    It sounds like the survivors won. I don't see where the problem is.

  • DBDVulture

    The better you are at the game - the more it becomes an issue. Several maps have one viable corner hook. If destroyed then you escape for free. Pick that map and go down in corner x. with strong sabo toolbox you cannot be hooked before you get up. It is abusive.

  • NITRAS42

    So many maps can have weird, painful hook RNG. Easy to lose a hook because the basement or hook on a hill 2nd story screws you over.

    Lvl 15 to have 4 perk slots.

    If you are new to the game and have no perks in addition you CANT have those 3 or 4 bad perks you need to play a few games with 1 bad perk.

    Killer FOV being what it is ridiculous.

    Dead Hard should not remove your ability to lunge in a tight loop or still be forcing you to wait during an "FOV tech".

    Uninjured Survivors should not be able to be pulled when unhooking.

    Hooks should not despawn after the Entity takes the Survivor.

    Although maps need to be looked at for the benefit of the Killer, they really should not be spawning in deadzones. Having entire sections of the map still being unplayable due to RNG is shocking at this point (especially with the new, arguably weaker, tiles).
