Buffing/Nerfing, killer/survivor and perks after release
in the comments of videoes I've watched about the heavy scream leaks, I have seen people say something about him maybe getting nerfed right away. Something like freddy. So I have an idea, a new rule. When a killer, survivor or both gets released, I think there should be a new rule that makes it so that the developers isn't allowed to nerf/buff the killer/survivor and their perks in the first month of release. Maybe except if all agree and the killer or suvivor is WAY op, like VERY VERY GOOD.
reason I kinda want this to dbd is, when leatherface got release I just remember me and some of my friends thinking he was WAY too good. idk what others thought of him. He never got nerfed as far as i know. After some time after his realease letherface didn't fell that op anymore. Probably because we learned to play against him. So, should we have to wait a month, maybe more? Maybe less? Before they're allowed to buff/nerf the new killer/survivor and their perks?
Reason for not buffing too is that we may overtime, find out how to play the new released characters.
So whatcha think? Good or bad idea? And should it be a thing?

Definitely.

The devs are already doing this, as far as I know.

So how they did with LEgion? Running a broken killer wild for half a year? No, thanks. Then lets get them nerfed to death instead of being unbearable.

Not for half a year! more like a month or 2-3 weeks.

It was more than a month definitely.
I don't know about this as they seem to need killers right away, but rarely survivors ( hence decisive strike and MoM ). And even with after the month they probably aren't gonna get the nerf/buff right.

I think i typed it wrong. i meant the developers shouldn't wait that long to buff/nerf only wait like a month. and yesd the legion took a long time before change.

Yes, they should, so people have a chance to actually learn how to play with the new things and the meta has a chance to settle.

Signifcant changes come with the midchapter patches which are roughly 1.5 months after the release of a chapter
What exactly are you refering to when you say that balance changes should not happen within 1 month of releases?

That's the thing when it happened with Freddy the backlash was huge that it happened so quickly after release.
Now they make changes in a PTB before release and then gather data for a few months as they learned from the Freddy saga.

Probably more like small nerfs to the killers.
