Alright so I take a break from my usual meta build o have fun. I throw on auto didact, solidarity a build that is satisfying when it works. Against anti heal killer builds it is very good.

Alright all goes well teammates unhook me and the killer goes back. Instantly goes for me. Bad map rng so now I have to try and find a half decent loop. They're is no loops and now the killer instantly picks up and I'm second state just like that.

On the topic of unbreakable slugging is a great way to apply pressure but its boring as survivors so it's always good to have.

My point being if you dont want survivors to run smol pp meta build 24/7 you gotta change up the way you play. The meta for both side is influenced by how each side plays.

Same goes for survivors if gens are hyper focused forever builds would become meta.

That's my view on things until next time.

Edit: had to make necessary changes to the title I think it's much better now.

    It's the unbreakable/DS combo. Scott Jund coined the phrase because he really hates the combo.

    Nah I change builds because DS/UB is stale and boring. You should read the post. If anything the build means the killer has a smol pp.

    Just play what you want , content creators can make any name or excuse for why they call a build what it is but those people are just pathetic it's a damn game you're supposed to play however you can to have fun , if they aren't bringing an optimal build to counter it then that's on them as a killer I don't care if they don't want to bring a Mori or whatever it is to equal the playing field for them, my point is if they aren't playing the best build they can to win then there's no room to call anything OP because they were too worried about limiting themselves from playing anything that might be considered OP. I swear these kids wouldn't have survived the old call of duty days they would've cried to nerf everything into the ground and reported everyone in the game chat spending more time reporting than playing the game

    See but that's not how it's used, it's used for free gen time , because if they pick you up the waste precious time , if they leave you then you get up and work on the gen again..got dsd yesterday after I left a hook..downed another guy, then went to defend a gen..got the gen popped in my face..then got dsed because I "tunneled" the issue is these perks are going way beyond their intended usage

    Nah I do but it gets boring and stale. I like to change it up. If we talking about cod lobbies you should of seen og gears of war man all the trash talk I wish we could go back to those days of gears. But I digress I'm only trying to say is you cant get mad at survivors using the bui km s if its killers that made it meta.

    It's really the most stupidest thing that I've ever heard so far from someone in this damned community.

    Just use whatever the hell you want and don't let others bring you down over it, no matter if you're Survivor or Killer.

    I've already got used to YouTubers being whiny when it comes to games, to be honest, but it still manages to be triggering somehow.

    ds unbreakable is a combo too strong not to be used. That's it, these people can keep making other people look dumb cause they use bamboozle on billy (or old ruin on billy, while that very people used it on spirit, but that's another story), but in the current game state there is literally no point in not running meta if you want to win. The same applies to stridor spirit or bbq-pop and other killer's combos.

  • azame
    azame Member Posts: 2,870

    I mean sure the combo is strong but you can not deny it became meta due to what killers do. Vault build grew in popularity from ayrun and it's not meta.

    I agree I was just stating with all the tools they're choosing not to use to combat it they're too worried about getting called out for using something people consider scummy and that's like saying you're bad at street fighter for using Ken or Ryu, the devs intend for this stuff to be used

    as long as you dont feel the need to shove it in my face that you got those two perks equipped, i dont really care.


    its a different story when you end up being this guy taking a hit for his rescuer with BT, just to then flex your DS + Unbreakable combo on me.

    These are pretty similar to my exact thoughts you understand.

    Normal people don't care about what perks other people use.

  • YaiPa

    yeah sure. The meta is defined by both roles. Since looping is meta, nurse, spirit and Freddy are meta, since they can end chase quicker. Same goes for enduring spirit fury or dead hard being meta, chase related perks. If stealth will become meta, then iron will and calm spirit will became meta, same goes for stridor and whispers or doctor.

    There's definitely a lot of matches where I wish I had brought DS or unbreakable, and I often run one of them. Just together it feels kinda cheap to make yourself essentially invulnerable for up to two minutes of the game. Same reason I didn't run old balanced landing with a haddonfield offering or abuse the (sort of) infinites.

    I know it makes me a massive scrub but I'd rather lose than win with cheese, generally 😁

    Pretty much my mindset, and why I run unbreakable fairly often but have yet to use DS

  • azame
    azame Member Posts: 2,870

    Yeah I rather not run it but that's why I do believe me I rather run meme perk builds but its punishing.

  • azame
    azame Member Posts: 2,870

    Nah respectable haddon field needs a nerf hate that map. Its incredibly survivor sided to the point it's actually boring.

    If killers just play smart the perks really mean nothing. Im currently a purple killer, and i do declare myself a killer main, but I have most survivor perks unlocked. Pressure gens, use slowdown, and down people selectively, and boom. You just got passed all of those perks just by being smart. I dont see why people think they're OP. They are 100% necessary for dealing with ######### tunneling killers and for the opportunity to be aggressive against killers like freddy and spirit that can cross the map in seconds and pressure everyone at once. I do see the issue with the combos being used TOO aggressively, but honestly if you play smart it only eats up about half a minite of your time as killer. "Oh I hooked this Feng recently, leave her slugged. She get up on her own? Cool. She doesn't have UB for endgame." Theres the big brain counter to DS UB. Just ######### play. XD

    I've never really considered it but I do actually run DS with other anti-slug perks sometimes, i.e. flip-flop or tenacity.

    What level of pp are we talking here? Has anyone got a chart of some kind?

  • Zozzy
    Zozzy Member Posts: 4,759

    Because a killer should never slug and always take 3 seconds to pick up + 10 ish seconds to walk to a hook + 2 seconds to hook and make sure to ignore the other survivors around you as you do so. But don't forget to ApPly pREsSurE somehow in a fun and exciting way for the survivors.

    I never said they shouldn't in 100% fine that they do that just dont complain I use perks to counter it.

  • pseudechis

    The "small pp" title is just a phrase used by sore losers and bad winners to compensate for an opponent bringing strong combinations of perks.

    Its very use as an insult says more about the user than the target.

    Ik I said smol pp as a joke I know why it's called that.
