I stopped playing DBD consistently about a year ago? like a month before the Alien chapter came out, whenever that was.

The first killer I played against was The Unknown and idk if this killer is just dumb strong or if my lack of knowledge about his abilities and the fact that he can just teleport across the entire map led to me and my duo getting steamrolled.

Then I played a Vecna and that went a little better but his powers caught me off guard too. I guess I'll adjust eventually if I keep playing but do I really want to? XD

Anyway, I'm guessing the forums haven't changed much since I left. Are we still rioting to nerf Adrenaline, NOED, and a bunch of other perks that don't actually need to be nerfed?

    Adrenaline got nerfed so that's been left alone now. I think the main complaints seem to centre around Distortion and Windows of Opportunity on the killer side, and Weave Attunement on the survivor side. With the Unknown, you can dispell his hallucinations to stop him being able to teleport, and also looking directly at him will slowly remove weakness. I don't mind going against him. Also, welcome back.

    and here I thought you would not understand the new menus/User Interfaces (which would be understandable btw, the changes were not making things more intuitive)


    But yeah, new killer powers need to be learned to be played around. But I think that’s a good thing - these powers don’t feel like complete copies of other powers and actually bring something unique to the roster and make the experience more varied!

    (Unknown is considered strong but not on Nurse level - you can get rid of the status by looking at the killer and you can avoid getting hit in many situations. And for the teleports, you can destroy the remnants it leaves so it can’t teleport to it anymore)

    (regarding Vecna, he has 4 different abilities that he can switch inbetween at any time. They have individual cooldowns and counters. Also use the chests/items for better info)


    imo, Adre and Noed complaints have gone down quite a bit as both got nerfs and are in much healthier places while still being situationally good/effective.
