9.2.0 patch

The 9.20 patch makes Dead by Daylight less fun by adding dumb restrictions like blocking generators and speeding up gen progress when a survivor dies, which only makes the game feel restrictive and snowbally. These changes reward bad survivor gameplay, letting players who recklessly stay in the killer’s face still get rewarded instead of punished for mistakes, while at the same time punishing killers for doing their job. The devs also need to admit that tunneling is part of the game — it’s not always fun, but in a 4v1 it’s a legitimate strategy, and constantly nerfing it just removes more tools from killers while giving survivors more safety nets. On top of that, the game should be rewarding variety in survivor builds, but instead this patch just pushes everyone further into chase-oriented metas, which makes matches stale and sours the killer experience even more. Instead of encouraging freedom and creativity, these changes force players into one predictable style, making the game boring and repetitive instead of exciting and strategic. If Behaviour keeps going in this direction, this patch could cause a huge downfall for Dead by Daylight.

    I agree 100%. Along side that this will make Killers play the strongest killers and strategies just to keep up which pushes Killers into not having there own Way of playing.

    Ive done a challenge that I can't kill anyone until 6 hooks and can't tunnel once even if the game is losing and the killer players are right that thr changes just make the killer experience more brain dead and harsher. Which spreading hooks is the worst way of playing by fare. If you spread hooks ur by passing alot or opportunities to hatch up.

    90% of the time it was a close game. And most of the time I ran into the same survivor over and over again forcing me to leave that survivor alone abd let them do Gens or heal wasting 90% of my time in the process.

    Tunneling isn't just a strategy or tool. Its the proper way of playing Killer and that's why I think its hated. Its hated because its the killer being smart. It punishes dumb plays by Survivors and rewards the killer for being smart.

    These changes removes the tactic of being smart. It removes the punishment for survivors bad plays.

    Its just dumb.
