What are your unpopular opinions?
In dead by daylight there are many, many opinions, especially due to the amount of playstyles, killers and perks.
Most people agree on certain things like "Hillbilly should use BBQ" or "Demogorgon is a fun killer to play against".
They don't have to be killer related, that's just what came to mind.
So, what are your unpopular opinions?

Rather than making the post to long, I thought I'd comment mine.
DS is too inconsistent to be meta.
Spirit is a fun killer to play against unless they use Mother Daughter Ring.

Some games are won or lost before you even start playing. Where did the survivors/killers spawn? Do they counter you? Are you playing a character that does better on indoor maps or outdoor maps? Did you get lucky?
Then the players come into consideration only after. Of course, the survivors/killers could derp out despite being given a truckload of of advantages, but I'm talking about random, casual play.

NOED, SB, DH, Decisive, Adrenaline, BBQ and Pop goes the weasel are fine and need no nerfs.
18 -
I think every Killer in the game is fine as is, they don't need much changes barring a few that require add-on reworks such as Billy, Bubba and Huntress.
Yes, that also means I think they're mostly fun to go up against, and the ones I do have issues with I tend to not be bothered with because it's just a part of the game.
With that said, I don't think "Fun" should be factored in when it comes to balance. If something you find "Boring" is still fine and alright balance wise, then it should stay that way.

Hillbillies who get 90% of their downs with chainsaws are actually trash killers who have to rely on instant-downs. His chainsaw is his POWER not a weapon.
7 -
I agree with all of them except NoeD. I think that needs a slight nerf that makes it related to your performance.

Pig is the best killer to learn....
Hilbilly is the hardest killer too learn
0 -
Maybe a rework would be in order, but I don't know, I never use it unless it's a Nurse behind gates build to be honest, and I've got over it as survivor. (To satisfy my delicate ego, I assume the killer is learning)
1 -
That's the definitely a controversial one as a Hillbilly main, but overall it depends on the map and loop imo. To me if the survivor gives you the chance, take it. If there isn't an opening for a chainsaw, M1 them.
3 -
I've used it when someone unhooked in my face, but I generally use the mallet. Overwhelming majority of my chainsaws are from accidental snipes.
4 -
I preferred old DS. While it was (and still is) completely busted, it was at least easier to deal with in its previous form. Enduring made it much less of an issue, and there was no timer you had to keep track of. I'd much rather have enduring perma-locked into my build than having to remember who got unhooked and for how long every single match.

The Kate hype is overrated.
3 -
I've seen you post this opinion multiple times and I'm just baffled as to how someone can have this opinion. Do you think the devs just accidentally made it one shot? If it was just supposed to be for mobility, why would there be a charge time?
My unpopular opinion is that I think that Deathslinger is probably top 3 killers in the game, behind Nurse and Spirit. If played correctly, his power is uncounterable save for lucky guesses, much like spirit. And like Spirit, every time you "guess" against DS it costs you, so both Spirit and DS can get downs without ever using their power, just by faking it. Just stand still as Spirit, or ADS as Deathslinger.

Jeff is the best survivor.

There's nothing wrong with "relying" on certain perks.

100% Relying on certain perks for 4k/escape makes you a bad killer/Survivor
1 -
Hag is tied with Billy as the 3rd best killer in the game

Hate to break your spirit, but Lightborn doesn't effect lightburn
0 -
Wraith with the right build is surprisingly good. Lightborn tbh is totally worthless, sorry, but BBQ/Spirit Fury/Enduring/Pop and Purple Windstorm and Allseeing is a pretty nasty build. Just munch thru pallets and get windstorm lunges and you can 4k pretty consistently.
0 -
No. And I think that getting a down with it by doing something SKILLFUL such as baiting out a pallet that they don't drop should be rewarded. NOT holding a chainsaw because you're in a range in centimeters shorter than Leatherface's IQ.

- Nurse is not "still the best killer" and anyone who says that is either a survivor main or has never touched Nurse. EVER.
- DS needs a buff.
- Pop Needs A 5% buff.
- Ruin needs to be a Non-Hex Perk.
- Killer's lunge needs to be shortened.
- Pill hitboxes are not acceptable.
- Freddy needs to put survivors to sleep by his own account, either bring back the Hand Animation or hit them to put them a sleep.
- Plague needs the movement slowdown of her charge time to be removed, she's weak already as it is.
- Oni needs to be 110% movement speed during his Frenzy.
- Legion needs to be deleted for the good of the game. I'll pay for all refunds including cosmetic refunds.
- A Winged-Nurse outfit needs to be the winner of the Draw A Cosmetic contest.
- Jane needs to be Exhausted when climbing stairs.
- Billy needs to be 110% speed already with a Red Bar Cooldown to his chainsaw.
- Huntress needs different animated Hatchets.
- Myers should be able to walk through walls to break them.
- Everyone who plays Deathslinger with Monitor and Abuse and Save the Best for Last deserves a 24 hour ban for playing so boring.
- Doctor needs a stupid red bar to his shock every time it successfully hits a survivor. He should at least be punished for missing.
- Ghostface needs a shirtless outfit.
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

7 - Freddy already puts survivors to sleep when he hits them.
10 - You have hundreds of thousands if not millions of euros stashed away?
0 -
Basically wrong statements.
0 -
Survivors shouldn't be put to sleep for no reason already. He's the only killer that gives survivors debuffs for doing absolutely nothing on his own.
Yes.

Bitter murmur is the best perk ever especially for piggy 🐷💖

Good lord that's a lot of yikes opinions. Perfect for this thread lol

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Herman Carter, the Doctor?
1 -
Lightborn is a perk that accomplishes nothing but what the player can do themselves with a little forethought. Watch for flashlights in lobbies, bait out flashlight saves, or just look at a wall. It's a total waste of a perk slot when you could be using things infinitely stronger.
But yeah Wraith is honestly one of my fav killers. He's pretty basic, but I think he has a lot of depth that people overlook once you slap windstorm on him. The problem is that without windstorm he's dogshit lol
1 -
Exactly.
Some are pretty understandable though. =]
0 -
Well the replies are just perfect as to why I think balancing around "fun" should never be a priority.
1 -
Okay, I'd rather have Passive Madness than Swing Chains, Jump Rope being a debuff for just being alive for 60 seconds.
=]
1 -
Nurse does "still have the most potential" and anyone who says she isn't "the best killer" is either a survivor main or has never gotten good on Nurse. EVER.
DS is problematic.
Rank doesn't actually have an impact on what happens during the game.
It's okay to try to have fun in DbD and you shouldn't have to tie your enjoyment to the game to how many kills you got or whether you pipped or not.

I like all Coldwind Farm maps.

We've found the Heathen.
When's the Salem Witch Trials for such an atrocity of an opinion? *angery noises*

One man's trash is another man's treasure.
I've been blessed with corn-vision immunity, Survivors will NOT lose me in cornfields & 360s WILL fail...
Okay i'm not perfect, but just saying they're mostly not safer there than in an open field.

Nurse is not that good. Buggy low-mid tier killer.
0 -
It used to be Hex:Ruin needs a rework - boy did people hate that one. My request was actually the most downvoted suggestion on a reddit Q&A poll, and then like two weeks later BHVR announced the rework - I definitely sipped some wine and laughed maniacally at that.
I think my same old complaints about the terrible and sometimes neglected new player experience. A lot of people don't think it's worth BHVR's time or effort. That's a valid opinion, but I think mine is, too.

i was gonna comment " ace needs a shirtless skin because he has chest hair. a ######### bush in his chest " but then i remembered that's not an unpopular opinion. everyone agrees (with few exceptions here and there like bubba mains and people who are bad at the game)
so. i scrapped that comment and decided to comment " legion is a mistake and must be deleted. a rework is not enough. he is and will always be a mistake and a shame on the game's history ". but i also scrapped this one because everyone except susie mains agree.
yet again. i decided to comment " everyone who plays freddy with 4 slowdown perks and double slowdown add-ons should be punished for holding the game hostage " but yet again. i scrapped it because everyone except midget with fedora hat mains agree.
and finally. i ended up in the comment " flashlights' add-ons need to be reworked. only the battery ones are useful. rest are completely worthless "
1 -
Midget with fedora hat lmao

Who in their right mind would think pop needs a nerf
1 -
That the balance of a killer should be based around how effective base kit is. Deathslinger is fine, but Trapper needs some serious work (my opinion, of course. I can get 4ks with default Deathslinger no problem, and even play with rusty chain only sometimes, while trapper... they need something)...
Also, Aftercare is the best survivor perk because it relies on skill of the user to get worth from it, and helps the team out in the process.
0 -
That forum agendas are a thing here and we have the same group of posters trying to get things nerfed in their favor.
1 -
The shirtless stuff isn't funny.
Onesided games are not a "gg".
If you are red ranks because of swf, you aren't that good.
Old ruin was overrated.
Noed is still overrated.
2 -
This. If I have the chance and you are out in the open why wouldn't I use it and instadown you instead of hitting you twice? But loops lead to a mallet hit and at that point I can't be bothered with the chainsaw
3 -
Yaomoka's Estate isn't a good map. IDEK why, it just is.
0 -
- The Meat Plant is better for survivor than it is killer assuming you don't 3 gen yourself (especially on the same floor)
- Myers requires the least amount of skill to play out of all killers
- The Mori vs Key debate is stupid as both are mechanics in the game and both won't be getting changed any time soon. They are both cheap/annoying in their own way and it sucks to lose to them, but just head into the next game
- You can die as survivor and still win/have fun
- Fixated is a really underrated perk
- Adrenaline, Ruin, Dead Hard, Devour Hope and Borrowed Time are all fine where they are in terms of balance
- NOED only needs a slight tweak to make it more skill related, but should still have the insta-down
- Legion and Freddy are the most annoying killers to face given they have the right build equip, Ghostface is the most annoying killer to face in general
- The corn in this map is fine and does not favor either side (except Ghostface's power which really needs to be changed)
1 -
Not all of them are wrong statements. Everyone views things differently and no one can really have a wrong opinion. Although I do agree that some of the ideas I personally find ludicrous.
1 -
Spirit is extremely fun to play against. It's really satisfying to do well against one and it's pretty easy to avoid her fakes once you can see the phasing tells.
Hillbilly is hard af to play as. I've had the game for 3 years now and I've probably played billy enough to count with just my hands and I've hated it each time. I've even missed a free chainsaw; like when you trap them in one spot in a corner. I missed it.
1 -
I call survivor perks crutch strike, crutch hard, borrowed crutch, crutchenaline, and uncrutchable
Because you should be able to make as many mistakes as possible and get rewarded for it
