if you want a good example of how badly SWF breaks the game. play Among us as a solo player.

Comms in a game desigbed without them will give unfair advantages.

Its downright saddening to see so many not even get that point and just "hurr durr different genre"

The thing is half of the comments focused on the point of dbd and among us being different type of game which is obvious to everybody and not the underlying point.

The point is to make an easy to understand comparison how coms give opportunities for unfair advantage. Of course they make one game just more unbalanced and completely ruin the other, but this disparity in impact is not the point.

You could use rainbow six siege, rocket league, cs go or league of legends or any other team vs team PvP game as an example that, if one side uses coms and the other does not have the possibility and no type of in-game substitute, they create a POTENTIAL heavy unfair advantage.

And yes we all know that a hefty percentage of all swf just talk about their day, it's the same with my people in lol but it still opens the potential for extrem efficient coordination.

Uhhh please explain how he is wrong? I would genuinely love to hear what's going on inside that thing you call a head?

Among us is similar to another game known as town of Salem, a text based version of basically among us. Throwing the game by using voice comms to basically tell your living friends who the killer is so they can tell the rest of the group basically ruins the game and its not worth playing anymore.

And guess what. People will hate you for it and kick you from the game.

In dbd, yes voice comms are powerful and yes they do make certain things the killer can do far less effective (like fake pressure/chasing) but they don't equal a instant win like revealing the imposter in among us. Play a few games with friends on voice comms in among us. You'll see the difference. Among us forces you to not play like a dick because it ruins the game for everyone including yourself and makes people hate you and just refuse to play and kick you.

From experience of playing both games with and without friends there is some truth to this. However Among Us and Dead By Daylight are a bit different in the ways comms change gameplay.

In Among Us most of the time people play with mic muted until a meeting is called and those dead cannot speak as that ruins the game. Not everyone follows those rules and at that point it makes it to where comms make it impossible for the imposter to win (or in another case, for them to lose). Friends telling each other who imposter is basically ends the game.

In dbd friends on comms don't end the game. Personally I can't trust people at rank 1 as a survivor because I'm constantly abandoned and left on hook to die. I don't play toxic, I don't body block and do nothing but flashlight saves. I play normally with or without friends. Do I have more general information when I'm playing on comms? Yes. But I still get my ass handed to me almost every single match because we're normal players. We don't run sweaty builds, we run what we like and what's fun and fit for us. Also people seem to forget killers aren't supposed to get 4ks every single match, devs have said themselves you should get a 2k average. I added this because I almost never escape games, my friends and I get lucky if one of us gets out through hatch. Last thing I wish to note is as killer you rely on yourselves. As a survivor we have to rely on our team, it's impossible to win by yourself without going through hatch which is a 50/50 chance.

In summary not every swf are toxic tryhards, and sometimes really good survivors are genuinely in solo queue. And before you come at me saying "entitled survivor main", I play both, I've received toxicity from both sides. It's easier to counter as killer than a solo survivor or even a casual swf.

See if all you do is put people down to try to get your point across, no one is going to listen to you. So good luck with that.

AMong Us literally tells you to do this (not talk during play unless it's a meeting and not if you're dead). People talking out of a meeting or when they are dead are defeating the mechanics of the game in the stupidest way. How is that even fun?
