Oh, speshul kitten. Another one to ignore because all he has is hyperbolic "experiences" to share along side slinging insults. Another one for the ignore list.

“Another person with evidence and facts” lets ignore him since we have noting to counter what evidence there currently is. Talk about confirmation bias.

anecdotal evidence doesn't mean crap

that's a common excuse most killers make when they have no argument against DS and why they wanted it nerfed. call the poster a "troll"

i have a thousand arguments but walls tend to not be good discussing partners

acho que DS precisa de um buff no skill check, menor um pouco que o skill check do gerador já ta bom, a gameplay de assassino é bem mais fácil que a de sobrevivente, e o DS só pode ser usado uma vez

There's a Portuguese sub-forum, you know: https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/categories/portuguese

I'm sure you will reply well I had to hook them first
but again your failed attempt to keep the survivor hooked shouldn't be rewarded

As a killer main myself, I don't really care about the perk itself, it's the impact it has on the game. I understand from your perspective why you think the perk is fine. One time use and prevent 1 hook, big deal right?

Look at it from the killer's perspective though. Pretty much every killer has to run Ruin or some sort of gen regression ability. The rate of generators getting completed through the game is extremely fast. It's not abnormal for 2 gens to be completed by the first time you have your first hook. So, you finally get your first survivor down and the survivor uses d-strike, stuns you and runs to another loop. The time wasted chasing this survivor again is just the nail in a coffin because the other 3 will continue to pound out gens while the survivor you are chasing again continues to loop you.

It's bad enough to where it's better to just down a survivor that you know has d-strike and leave them in the dying state (don't hook) just to generate some pressure so other survivors will quit working on gens and come rescue that survivor. If you're close enough to a hook, you can "dribble" a survivor with d-strike if you know they have it. IMO, that's not working as intended so it doesn't surprise me d-strike will be nerfed. That's just one survivor, now add in 2, 3, 4 survivors and this just becomes a terrible perk for a killer to play against.

In the end, you need to play what perk works best for you. No one can rightfully get mad at you for using a mechanic that the devs put in the game. But keep this in mind when a killer uses tactics against you that you may feel are cheap like face camping or tunneling.

Imagine if a killer had a power that could reduce a generator from 99% to 0% with a single kick. That's what DS feels like. You've put in all the work, watched as the other side of the game has done their stuff, and you've finally moved forward with the..oh no, never mind. I guess I get to start all over again. And that's just 1 DS on 1 survivor. Forget about multiple DS perks on multiple survivors, flashlight saves, DH, insta-heal medkits, SC...

Ugh. Is it any wonder why killers just want some of this stuff curbed a little bit?

That's why DS needs the following changes:

• Instantly consumed upon being picked up
• No longer an Obsession perk
• Survivor suffers permanently from the Exposed status effect (i.e.: one hit and they go down)

Problem solved. Chase time is cut in half instead of getting a 50% increase, and the Killer gets to decide whether or not he wants to take the stun and have to catch the Survivor again. In other words, the Killer gets the power, as it should be.

Imagine for a moment that somebody you desire just said "yes". You're getting ready to release all that passion you've built up and you're ready to go. Clothes are coming off and it's time for that moment

Then suddenly, a SWAT team shows up and ruins the mood before you can complete the deed.

That's akin to how it feels to be DS'd.

The game's chases are long, and often very frustrating. Then, as you finally get a payoff, it's yanked away from you.

That's why it's so hated. That dopamine release your expecting from getting the hook is suddenly denied - and it's enraging.

It isn't a pay off until you hook them. you can't expect to be paid for a half job

imagine this you put in hard work fixing Gens and unhooking teammates to finally come down to be chased.

the Exit gates are powered and you tell the ones on last hook to leave.

you finally go down all of your hard work for nothing  DS gives you that 2nd chance 

I've been that guy, and I accept it as part of the game. That's why there is 4 survivors and why you don't have to survive to rank up. I don't use DS as I prefer to use perks that keep me from being found in the first place. If I got found, then I failed and don't deserve to get away free anyway.

Doing 3 gens worth of work and dying at the end is 10X less frustrating than getting DS'd, I'll tell you that right now. I play both sides.

Abusive Strike is getting nerfed, it's only a matter of time.

The Killer is being punished for doing his job. He then has to get looped for a few minutes all over again. It also has no good counters. Enduring doesn’t stop the strike from happening and Unnerving skillchecks can still be hit by Survivors. The nerf that it’s getting is good.

Just kidding! Don't take it to heart! I just love this meme and I can't help but use it here since this thread is a killvivor war on DS!

right next killers will complain about MedKits and teammates healing each other without any medical back ground lol... they're some tough walls to crack

Honestly Desive strike should be in the game if anybody was carrying you you would wiggly and strike the killer.

why not remove mori from the game? no killer should get a easy free kill.

I'm sure you will reply well I had to hook them first
but again your failed attempt to keep the survivor hooked shouldn't be rewarded

So now you want me to camp? or what is your argument? (aside from making the killer lose no matter what because of ....... reasons.......)
