Ignorance or Intent?
As the title says is the state of DBD due to ignorance or intent, I would like to think people are not so ignorant to let blaring issues like this go unresolved but you never know but if this is what the devs intended for the game to be then they have no idea how to design video games.
Case and point I just watched this video and it perfectly shows whats wrong with the current game, if you watch this from start to finish and say things like "this is how it was meant to be, the player is just bad, this is balanced" then you are as much a problem to the growth of this game as the devs themselves are.
I will link the video watch if you want say that I am wrong say the player is wrong but anyone with a logical mind will be able to tell something is seriously wrong with the current state of this game and if it continues down this path I doubt will we be celebrating a year four.

Why did I know whose video it was before even opening it? Not surprised.

The scary thing is those games are pretty common at red ranks. Really shows the balance issues.

Well as far as DBD players go he is one of the best and he has been playing since the beta plus he is a Fog whisperer chosen by the devs so he should have some credibility.

I'm not sure why he continued to go after the BT person dancing in front of him (who obviously had DS) instead of perusing the Jake who was also injured, out of a dead hard, and nearby. Seems like a misplay to me, sorry to say. DS had been redesigned to counter tunneling. You won't have an issue with the perk if you don't tunnel. If it wastes your time, that's kinda on you. He had good pressure until that point.
If you're really going to say that tunneling shouldn't be countered even with a perk, that'd be like saying a survivor should be able to get away with farming another survivor and their team shouldn't be affected by it at all. Considering he's gotten up to higher ranks as survivor as well, he should know what a trap looks like. It was really obvious he was trying to get his attention again and didn't care if he went down.
8 -
If you looked at his situation throughout the whole video you would understand why
4 -
I mean, I did. It doesn't change it from being a misplay to pursue the person who was just on the hook, dancing around in front of you.
7 -
Yeah, that was rough.
5 -
this man didnt play around borrowed or ds, and whiffed to a deadhard in the open. he kept trying to go into night shroud in front of hooked/downed players. he also decided to pick up on the jungle gym pallet even tho he knew where every player was, he should've kept slugging. a lot of bad plays by him, so he lost. the survivors played like ######### too but tru3 kept playing into their hands by allowing ######### like ds or borrowed to proc, wasting his time.
6 -
All I see in this video is that he played poorly, still got one kill and keeps blaming the game instead of admitting his mistakes.
9 -
Blind as well?
1. This is coldwind farm map, which in of itself is bad
2. GhostFace on coldwind? Biggest joke ever, and don't blame him for that, blame RNG
3.He was going against a SWF team on coldwind farm map, what else could he do?
7 -
- So you never win on Coldwind? I'm sorry for you.
- Plenty of places to stalk on Coldwind.
- SWF means #########, since sometimes they're easier to face than solo because of altruism and again, if you never win on Coldwind I'm sorry, bro.

To all of you who just don't realize his situation, and the game's situation, he was going against a Survivor With Friends team on a coldwind farm map, and since because all of the coldwind farm maps are already stupidly design in of itself, it makes it a whole lot worse when you're going against a Survive With Friends team, and to put the cherry on top of the cake, is when one of them are carrying the perk of OoO, which already completely neglects GhostFaces power and add coldwind Farm into the mix, and he's basically just an M1 killer.
And it comes into the health condition of the game when the power roll is going to the survivor's more than it should be going to the Killer, and you can clearly see it well in that video, everything that the survivors did was very super well-organized, they had everything planned, when to get in a chase, when to unhook someone, when to start repairing, when to throw down a pallet, when not to, everything.
And it's not because he plays poorly, yes there's a couple of times where he makes mistakes, but most of the other times, or almost always, is because of the unbalanced power roll, one thing you do can lead you as the power role, but then the next thing you know, something they do puts them in the power roll and completely screws you over, I.e adrenaline, dead hard, DS, insta heals, balanced Landing, Noed, haunted grounds, make your choice, Spirit fury + enduring etc, but most of the time, the power roll always seems to be led by the survivors, not the killer, and when it comes to facing SWF, you're having to stressed out into compete to regain control of being the power roll.
As Tru3 said so many times in his streams, its a 1 v 4, not a 1 v 1, and the devs don't take that into consideration, and make killers that barely have any map wide pressures, and add to the fact that they make maps that are way too big, even for killers like billy and nurse, and that leads killers to having to rely on perks and add-ons, while survivors have their pallets and windows, and most of their perks and items and add-ons only come in as a clutch.
This game is so unbalanced to the point where even the smallest thing that a killer or Survivor does can completely shift the power role.
And at the end, if you were to look closely at his situation and listen closely to what he said, you would know why he did what he did, he was basically caught in a corner.
3 -
Why does he keep trying to moonwalk around pallets?
He has enduring + Spirit Fury combo. He should be swinging through pallets, not trying to mind game them.
8 -
Rofl at the people saying he misplayed here and there, I'd like to see you play in that situation. They couldn't even juke properly, they just abused the fact that the game is designed to cater to survivors.
This video is the perfect example of what is wrong with this game, and what makes it unfun.
6 -
He made several misplays that lead him to his loss.
9 -
We’re allowed to point out flaws in this “evidence”. Killer isn’t easy sure but we should have one role that leaves little to no room for mistakes, killers of course needs buffs but a 100% balanced game would be boring.
4 -
The game is strongly survivor sided, that's a simple fact.
1 vs 1 shouldn't last as long as they do in dbd, making survivor both thr power a day number role.
Great survivors will always beat a similar level killer unless they mis play
2 -
"The game isn't balanced"
90% of 4Ks until the reds. Hm.
Not saying anything, just try to be less biased when making bold statement.
3 -
maybe if he didnt tunnel the guy who got unhooked he wouldnt get ds
5 -
Your first sentence basically says "Do it better, if you can". This is simply a dumb argument. Even if other people would do mistakes here, there is nothing wrong with pointing out mistakes.
And well, as much as I like tru3 and I really think he is a good player and also Killer, especially that he allowed BT to prog every time was not the most optimal move, to put it nicely. I mean, he is even suspecting them to have BT, sure, sometimes it is not avoidable and you need to take the risk, but when the injured guy unhooks someone, there is no reason to go for the unhooked person at this point.
2 -
This is so ridiculous. Why are so many people here pointing out his mistakes (even when he played pretty well) which he did ofc but not that game lasted for 7 minutes ? That's so incredibly short.
This is pretty good example of the problem with how gens are done too fast when survivors don't fool around. 1 mistakes can cost you the game as killer. Survivor does 10 of them and still has more then decent chance to win but yes let's rather blame killer for not beiing good enough since that's definitely the case.
6 -
Fairly good point.
2 -
"Hey I am a blind survivor main.
He only lost because of tunnel and camp otherwise killers always stand a fair chance, especially without ruin.
omega lul i'm smart"
I don't know what everyone expects killers to do.
Unhooks in front of killer
Killers downs injured survivor
Survivors scream camp + tunnel
Entitlement at it's finest.
4 -
If there's any problem with the game this video points out it's just the map itself. Farm maps are horribly designed because they have pretty much no mindgameable loops.
The devs are already working on improving that so we'll just have to wait and see how that goes.
1 -
he tunneled every guy who got unhooked even when he knew they had borrowed time he still hit them
he also didnt play around DS even when he said they had it before picking them up
he didnt use the ghostface stalking power for instadowns
cant feel bad for a tunneling killer at all when he refuse to use the killer power tsk tsk
7 -
I don't think any of you judging True could go even close to his competency as killer.
Show us our videos where you outperform him, I am curious to see
5 -
takes zero competency to tunnel as killer
anyone who dont tunnel like he did already outperform him
0 -
I'm sure all of you people could play better than this guy. Sure, it won't be easy, but I know you could eventually. Just because someone has a Youtube channel or a Twitch does not mean they are particularly good.
In fact, the only Twitch channel I watch is the one of the survivor I find myself facing at the moment. I stop watching when they die and don't stay as spectator, I always make sure to thank them for the information in their chat of course ;-)

Show your gameplay at red ranks vs swf with insta heals and meta perks or it never happened
5 -
Yup the game is 100% busted at red ranks. Misplays or not you can make no mistakes as killer and only get 1 or noone in red rank games. Gens are too fast and very few killers can put out the ammount of map pressure required to handle it. Thats a design issue.
6 -
He tunneled first time ace when there were only 2 gens left. Around that time you either need at least 2 survivors on death hook or 1 death otherwise you lose.
If he left ace on the ground because of DS and left for gens he would lose both, ace and the gens and lost even harder.
He used GF's power but red rank survivors have eyes unlike other ranks and since GF is also loopable you basically can't do almost anything with him against good survivors. Especially on corn maps, the most survivor sided maps in the game.
Lol survivors swarming hook and killer defends it = killer tunneling, camping, playing scummy right. True didn't tunnel at all, if he did Ace as the first one hooked would died much eariler. He made risky but smart plays and got punished by survivor's second, third, fourth, fifth chance perks.

Thank you! :)

He did missplay, which happens to everyone especially when you start getting stressed out because you played poorly, it just stacks up.
The loss was deserved because of thoses missplays, but the game still has blatant balance issues with SWF, especially the ones who actually play to win.
4 -
Without watching the video, I'm assumimg it's Tyde. Am I right?
0 -
SWF is the only thing that makes playing this game tolerable.
1 -
Intent. The state the game is in can't be attributed to ignorance, as it would basically be at cartoon levels by this point. If I had to guess, it's a business decision and fairly easy to discern.
One satisfied killer for four dissatisfied survivors. One cosmetic purchase vs potentially four. HUM.
3 -
Maybe you should rethink playing the game at this point. If you require the unfair advantage of communications with other people to even have fun then you weren't enjoying the game to begin with. The game is intended to be difficult to a certain degree, or used to be. I play SWF from time to time too, but I also enjoy Solo and Killer (When possible). SWF eliminates that dificulty or whats left of it.
3 -
The only way you win is with the handicap of SWF am I right were as the man in the video has reached rank 1 every reset alone. SWF is not needed to be good its only use is to make ranking a joke you don't earn your rank.
0 -
God forbid a team that actually works together smartly gets to win. Nah F that killers need to get 4Ks every game only 1 isn’t enough against a well played team
1 -
telling people that the killer misplayed is just blasphemy to them. they see a swf on a survivor favoured map and assume that the game was unwinnable
abatoir is a pretty awful map and one of them had an instaheal, so that's rough, but in contrast he failed to play around the perks he audibly acknowledged they probably had. getting dsed like that was a huge blow and he actually had the upper hand when he was slugging at the jungle gym. he definitely could have at least had 2 kills but he hit the BT person at the end, and he probably could have gotten more without misplaying in general
2 -
False.
- Half the gens are in the middle of the corn, so goodluck stalking anyone
- SWF are usually more cordinated the 4 randoms, so they are not easier if they play smart and not just go full altruism for their friends.
- Winning is hard with ghostface, but not impossible, but goodluck getting anything more then just a safety.

Yea red ranks are ass. If you want fun games go too high purple and green, it's the fun ranks where you will get a bunch of different people and play styles and not forced too loose every game because of how unbalanced this game is. Just wish the devs would stop making content and fix the content that they have.
