Why Survivor get Nerfed & Killer Buffed Just because the Majority is bad

I dont get it , i Play Dead by Daylight since the beginning when You had Wraith uncloaked in front of your face to collect points and even in that days with Infinite Loops killer was able to get 4 Kills.

So why is this game more and more balancing based on Unskilled noobs.

This Game has an ONLY Ranked Mode and within these 4 Years you dont Manage to make this Modus feel like a Ranked as you Balance it on the Player base who are litterly "Bad as F*"** " .

I dont know if you dev's do it intentionally or just dont want accept you have no clue how to Balance a Game you ever saw a Succesful Game Based their Patch on Bronze 5 Player?


So Please Get some help this Game Need Stop keep go on the way you ruin it, you might think you do it right because you get more Player but imagin there will come a Game which Compete with yours and do it the right way from the Beginning? till now you could rest based on no competition.


I Mean 4 Years and the Newest Perk i use is "Borrow time" i mean i used once Mettle of Men but you manage to stamp it in the ground in like what 1 week? Maybe stop tryhard to put in useless Perk.


so i hope to see someday a Fair Improvement to the game and stop base it on unskilled garbage People who think "W" is only key i need in the game without use their brain.

    Both sides have received changes, most of them increasing the skill requirement for both sides.

    Because as a survivor you’re bottom priority to them. The game is all about pandering to the loudest killer mains now.

    well if you check Patch notes Past 24 Months how it come you can call this "most balance state" ?

    1.) This game has a realy bad learning/effectiveness curve i mean you litterly use only W & M1 as Survivor in 95% of the time in a Round, i mean if you would ever Played a Game which realy Requires "Skill" you would know DbD is a horrible game if it comes to skill

    2.) Both sides recive changes ya, but for ever time a Killer got any Nerf the whole Survivor got 3-4 So in 10 killer nerfs survivor received 30-40, and why ? we even did manage get 4 kills over the years without this heavy buffs on our side

    Killers want to be able to kill survivors more skilled than them, perhaps to compensate for the wack matchmaking.

    If we go back that long then I'd argue the game was killer sided back then, but then it slowly got more and more survivor sided, and now after infinites have been nerfed aswell as loop spawns, the game on both sides seems balanced. Alot of the games I've been playing have ended in 2ks.

    So. . . you think god loops and massive maps are 'balanced?'

    Perhaps because the game is a 1v4? So inherently a killer SHOULD be able to beat a survivor better than them, because they have 3 other teammates.

    I said survivors, not a survivor. Should I have clarified?

    Play killer at red ranks for a while and go tell me the same again. I guess it will somewhat change.

    Because map design made it so easy for survivors to win in most cases. There are exceptions like the Saloon or Hawkins, but the fact is too many maps were too strong.

    Now, most maps are in a better place. Albeit, some are now far too killer sided with the number of deadzones and insane spacing between tiles. But this isn't many.

    You think the game's too easy now and you're mourning old mettle of man? Which was clearly a highly skillful perk that only the most elite survivors could use...

    Lets see Mettle of Men Survived what a 1/4 Patch?


    how long did a Obvious OP Hex:Ruin survived 3 years which was in no way a Perk which was Equal to other in its effectiveness as in even worst case it brought you more time then any other Perk and in a good case it brought u time worth of 2 additional gens.

    I'm not gonna lie, it seems like you are terrible at this game. Like, REALLY bad. You think MoM was okay? You thought Ruin was OP? The newest perk you use is BT? Are you sure that YOU are not one of these boosted, unskilled noobs you so despise? Let me guess, full meta build and instadropping pallets? You do know that you should... I believe it's called 'looping', but I could be wrong about that.

    Seriously, I don't get it. I've been stomping killers hard, even when I get sacrificed (I tend to be the 1k that got tunneled, but I can keep a chase long enough to get some gens done most of the time), and I don't even run meta perks. Half the games I play in don't even have an obsession. Is a lot of that because of terrible matchmaking? Absolutely, I'm boosted AF and I bet most of my teammates are as well. But if killer is so easy then why do I stomp on people that are the same damn rank as me A LOT more than they stomp on me? And, by the way, killer is the role that is harder to rank up in, so theoretically I should be worse than them.

    DBD is finally reaching a state where skill ACTUALLY matters. All we need now is for people to stop looking at kills/escapes as a judgement of balance - mori's, broken add-ons, and bad matchmaking in general skews the stats pretty heavily. Mostly the bad matchmaking. And I'm including ranking in the same category as matchmaking because matchmaking is the only reason it matters.


    And btw, there are plenty of asymetrical horror games out there that have tried and failed to compete with dbd.
