Dead by daylight hexy tournament

The scoring system is pretty hilarious I gotta say. If the survivors have a far enough point lead then all they have to do is just flog generators and let themselves die on the hook. Infact if your team has the lead and you're on first hook stage, all you need to do is just wait out the entire 2 minutes and you've denied the killer 2 extra points. I don't wanna be harsh and trash the work that people put into this but the scoring system needs some serious revising.

Gonna be completely honest I didn't watch it

No because it causes things like if you're up ahead, you can literally just ######### on hook to deny points for the other team.

the amount of drama that went on last night im kinda SMH at the whole torny now. it was fun and then it was just a debbie downer at the end.so much toxicity from people.

I turned it off when I realised everyone has going either Spirit or Nurse and I assumed at that point everything goes, meta builds, best perks etc. Why do people bother hosting tournaments like this? Put rules in that prevent each team playing the best killers, equipping the the best perks, basically do it like tydetyme did back in the day. His tournaments were the best, definitely the most entertaining and forced teams out of their comfort zones.

What does the prize money have to do with the tournament not laying down any rules to encourage more variety in play? Nothing. It could be 1 million and nothing is stopping them from establishing rules in a tournament.

It was just like real DBD, where you're punished for doing well! Well, the survivors weren't. The survivors got full points for doing well, while killers had to play in really stupid ways for maximum points.

And no, both sides having to play around stupid rules doesn't mean it's "balanced," because going first is an enormous disadvantage usually only overcome if you severely outplay the other team in the first round.

The optimal play should NEVER be to purposely die. Especially since killers had no way to counteract this.

Again, even if you consider is "balanced," it made it less entertaining and much more predictable because killers were functionally neutered unless they got 12 hooks. Get a quick 4k? Enjoy your lack of points! Do all 5 and gens and escape quickly? Full points!

God the scoring system was dumb. A perfect 4k or 4-man escape should just automatically result in full points.

It's a good thought, but their point system seems to be set up to provide a boring viewership experience. 1 point per hook, 1 on death... but if, say, you hooked a survivor only once and they died on hook, you just get 2 points for it. Why wouldn't the killer get full points for that? It might have encouraged bolder play - survivors trying late game unhooks - to keep from losing those extra points.

Then you have situations where the one survivor is left on hook... and doesn't try to unhook themselves and just dies, so we watch nothing happening until he dies, because if he tried to unhook himself and succeeded, he'd be about a 99% chance of just feeding the killer another point.

This happened in Match 1 for both sides, where the point totals and awards encouraged them to leave people on hooks and end the match. Why would you set it up like this? DBD's most exciting gameplay is late hooks and late unhooks. If anything, the points should encourage "big balls" late game plays - not the opposite.

You gotta make the rules more viewer friendly to encourage action, not playing safe.

Perhaps a fix might be, if you abandon someone at the end of the game without *at least* 1 late game unhook, the Killer gains 4 points. Succeeding at 1 late unhook negates those points gained. This makes it so trying and failing (to the tune of someone else getting hooked) is more likely better than doing nothing at all.

You and I will disagree there. The 4% is 100% RNG based, so that is luck and not skill. I consider truly skilled plays to be epic, such as a Widow grappling hook, leap high into the air, double headshot while falling in an Overwatch tournament or OWL play. Or the coordinated team plays in LoL tournaments.

A 4% lucky self-unhook into a DS escape isn't what I think of when I think of an epic play. I think: well, RNG was on their side. I already 4% quite more than I should in DbD as it is.

So, when it comes to tournaments, I'm glad that I'm "not gonna see plays like that in any other game." I prefer my tournaments to be about high-end, skilled plays. Not wins due to RNG.

am i the only one that liked the Haydun's scape against a hag? lol

It was really fun to watch, but I think there were some teams that were less prepared for a tournament then Dead by Daylight is. (Looking at you, Ankle Breakers) A lot of things were really great to see (Fingergun's Nurse was phenomenal, and I gotta agree that Otz was the MVP- his builds and killer choice was so out there compared to the other teams, and he did really well with them. Like his Wraith game? Amazing.)

However, I do agree that the rules were way too one-sided. Survivors had way more point opportunities (and easier point opportunities) then the killer- so a lot of the points seemed to rest more on the killer getting more hooks then the enemy. I don't really agree with how they scored everything, honestly.

I think it just cemented the fact that the game really isn't ready for a true competitive scene. I know a lot of people really want to see it (and I do too), but I think their system is both too broken right now, and too unstable to do it. (For example, this tourny has a point system, while there are others that base it on the survivor killed to escape ratio- because there's no true, definitive 'win' or 'lose' in this game. I could die as a Survivor and still feel like a winner just for getting to finish an Archives challenge, or get a 1k as a killer and still feel like a winner because I t-bagged with a Survivor.) Add that in with all the bugs, and I think it just shows this game shouldn't be taken as competitively as it is in it's current state. I know the Devs have stated that this is a 'Competitive Game', but in that case, the ranks should matter more, there should be a stricter competitive rule list, a distinction between a 'Win' and a 'Loss', and a true 'Casual' mode. As it currently stands, the real Competitive Mode is KYF, while normal Queue is casual. (Which, honestly, I think is fine- but the Devs need to decide if this game is truly Competitive or not, and balance around it. If it's balanced as Competitive, then balance around the top 1% of the 1%. If it's casual, then balance around the average player. Pick one and go with it.

The Tournament was good (compared to this "we all have fun" BHVR tournament weeks before. They had some nice UI and it was well done tbh.

BUT

DBD is a bugfest (and while this is kinda okay when nothing is at stake) it shows when it matters... like that ds being buggy.

+

DBD is not balanced at all (4 good survivor will destroy every killer who cant remove Hitbox Loops (you know the one survivor can run faster then others).

So we pretty much will always see spirit and nurse.

I kinda wish Hexy would allow 4ds and 4 bt and ban nurse/spirit/hag just so people can see what happens.

(personal opinion ofc).

But both teams play killer AND survivor and unless you ban everything from survivor its only natural that the Killer will lose with the state of balance ingame. Cant blame the tournament for flaws of the game
