The hypocrisy of DBD devs

Nothing worse then playing Myers and trying to grab a gen tapper!

It is, it was fixed now that you can lose DS while dribbling

They don't lose it. Dribbling is where the killer picks up a survivor and drops them repeatedly on their way to a hook. If the killer is close enough, the survivor won't have a chance to use DS. I think you're thinking of the killer swinging just as a survivor hits the decisive strike skillcheck.

Gen Tapping & Dribbling the player to a hook to avoid dstrike are both fine, I bet you'd be livid if they removed the dribbling to avoid dstrike.

I would only be livid if they did that before Dstrike nerf and gen tapping fix

There wont be a gen tapping fix as it's intentional.

Look, I am a killer main. I love playing the killer. BUT POSTS LIKE THIS MAKE ALL THE GOOD/GREAT KILLERS LOOK LIKE TRASH BECAUSE YOU CANNOT PLAY THE GAME.

I am sorry, but gen tapping is not an exploit. If you think it is, you are playing the wrong game. I bet you are a killer who thinks DStike is the worst thing in the world. Is it unpleasant, yes, but dribbling someone to the hook because you can not outplay them is not a bad design, but a bad player!

So while you will have this community talking about it the only real response is "GIT GUD" because gen tapping won't prevent you from winning. Failing to improve and become a better player overall will. So quit whining and trying to make the game easier for terrible killers and elevate your gameplay instead.

It might well be an exploit, but it causes no problems for me as a killer. If one person is on a gen and tapping it, it takes longer. If more than one are on a single gen and tapping, then I have multiple survivors to down in one zone and only one gen being worked on. Ez

I would argue that if you know someone has decisive strike and you down them 10 meters from a hook and you don't dribble the player to the hook, that you are a bad killer. Giving the other players working on generators an extra 30 - 60 seconds while you run down a decisive strike user that could have been hooked is just bad strategy. But as is always the case, play the game the way you like. If you want to give the DS survivor every opportunity to use DS before hooking, go right ahead.

You could also just leave them on the ground and put pressure elsewhere. However, you and I can definitely agree that you should play this game how you want not how others want you to play.

Gen tapping allows other survivors see who the nub teammates are on their side.

Try hitting ruin skillchecks at 30 fps and say that again. Some people just avoid skillchecks cuz the performance in this game is a ######### and they can't run 60 fps

So long as you don't get Doctor or lag spikes its not hard to hit Hex skill checks. I play PS4 and don't bother hunting for Ruin. It takes practice at first but becomes almost second nature after that.

Except dribbling ends up taking a ridiculous amount of time which is a commodity in this game. Gen tapping saves time immensely in comparison and costs none.

Gentapping still slows down gens considerably. Saying it saves time depends on what you compare it to since experienced players will just hit the great skill checks, which is much faster then tapping. Both tapping and dribbling almost negate the perk associated with them and neither of them are exploits. One being stronger then the other doesn't make it an exploit.

Gen tapping does not cost any considerable time. There is VERY little delay between stopping and starting. Once again nowhere near the actual seconds between pickup and drop. Gen tapping pretty much all but negates hex whereas dribbling you need to be pretty much at a hook to make it worth using.

As I've said, one being stronger then the other doesn't make it an exploit. And it does cost time in comparison to just hitting the great skillchecks, which most experienced survivors will do anyway. Should it be nerfed? I think a fair nerf would be to add a second when starting a gen before any progress is made. But at the end of the day, both gentapping and dribbling prevent their given perks from being fully used. If one isn't considered an exploit, the other shouldn't.

Ahem Dribbling survivors is okay too.

And it's spelled Hyperbole, not Hyper Bowl.
