    The whole point of telling us about the idea was for us to discuss the idea. You are basically telling everyone that doesn't like the idea to shut up. I don't like that.

    It's a bad idea, in my opinion, because having experienced many of their changes like this, I can tell you that BHVR generally hasn't thought everything through.

    My number one concern is, why do they want to pigeon hole us into meta builds? The answer is, again my opinion, to make the game more like other games. Do you think Marvel Rivals has the same balancing issues that Dead by Daylight has? No. They don't. They planned better. Now DbD is trying to deal with the fact that they gave us too much choice, so they want to take it away from us. This is not a good idea. Forcing the player base into a few boring builds will kill this game. Only the players that are already finding fun in playing those builds, enjoy playing those builds. I don't. I like synergizing perks in odd ways. I find that fun, and I think I am in the majority when I say taking that fun away will kill DbD. If we were talking about the outliers, the absolute worst combos and only that, it would be a different discussion. But they aren't nerfing the most OP and destructive builds. They are nerfing ALL stacking. So a killer bringing a silly window vaulting build is getting nerfed. A survivor that likes to bring ANY of their aoe perks that provide bonuses to the other survivors, ALL of those perks are getting nerfed. These things weren't META and BHVR has no business nerfing them, except it seems that they want every survivor to play a varient of DH/DS/U/R and every killer to bring a variant of PR/E/TBTC/CI.

    I believe their plan will work. They will get everyone to use those meta builds. Not because the majority switches to them all of a sudden, but because the majority will simply stop playing since the fun games will have ended for them.

    Knowing BHVR the first time they test this, it will go wrong on the PTB and we will have to wait another two instances for it to halfway decent.

    I think it's going to be bad in the start of this but after tweaks and doing this to more stuff perhaps it will be healthy for the game. I have faith!
