Tru Talents "Idea" for a tournament

Exactly its the top percent that the rules are based on, the ones that are ridiculously efficient on gens. If you're on a gen the whole time until the gen is completed then ruin has had no effect on that survivor. I personally think forget ruin, gens should regress automatically but that's a different story

I have nothing against Tru3's ability as a player. Additionally, I respect his honesty. He also seems like he'd be a fun guy to share a pint with.

But I question his ability to be objective anymore in his analysis of the game.

He's put so many hours into this game and this game alone that I question if he can be objective about it anymore. I feel he's so close to the subject matter now that he can no longer see the forest for the trees.

I think a long break from the game to do something else and coming back with a fresh perspective might do him some good.

I think its more he feels gen regression should be an automatic part of the game because it promotes healthy play (you only get the benefit by pressuring gens ie camping would do no good) and 4 seconds to every 1 survivor second of progress (when a gen is kicked) isn't enough. I personally think it should be that way as well in that you shouldn't have to kick gens for them to regress.

I feel mixed about his proposed ruin rule, I take his point on board and fundamentaly agree with it (as explained above) in that it should already be a game mechanic.

That having been said, your forcing a perk to change an underlying mechanic of the game i.e. gens only regress when you kick them. On that note I disagree in that you should play the game for the mechanics it has. And what about devour hope for example I take it that that and all other hex perks are banned? Since if the survivors can't break ruin then they couldn't break devour since they wouldn't know if the totem as ruin or another. Maybe he mentioned this and I missed it but in BOTB tournament the use of devour was amongst the highlights.

I feel mixed about the ruin rule.

As far as your suggestion about no comms I'd be all for that! I personally think comms breaks the game; OK not all SWFs are sweaty tryhards but if they are it breaks the game. I'm all for a tournament no comes, let's see how good the survivors really are

The best part about Tru3's tournament is how he banned hatch escapes because he realized he could lose the match. Lmfao.

dbd and TOURNAMENT

dont go hand to hand

Tournaments already have all sorts of different rules so I don't see any problem with another variety if people want to participate really.

Is there even such a thing as anything that resembles a "standardized" ruleset for DBD tournaments? I'm not exactly that informed on the topic to be perfectly honest and now I'm curious.

True. I still find your comms idea interesting, I'd love to see a tournament with no comms and see how effective the survivors are then.

To add to my previous post,

Tru3 has some pretty controversial opinions about the game. if he yield a tournament and he wants good players to join the tournament, he'd probably have to make sure entire team is like rank 1 and maybe he'd have to vet players, like you have to beat his clown or some dogshit killer to enter the tournament. you have to realize that survivor is also pretty powerful when you run very optimized builds with 4 items such as med kit flashlight etc. with good perks like exhaustion, prove thyself, full luck builds, BT, OoO, DS etc. Maybe someone would enter the tournament and use some very unorthodox setup where like you run 1 person running self-care+botany+desperate measures and just constantly bodyblock a freddy from downing a teammate that is looping the killer.

Judging from his perception, he also believes that every killer should play like Freddy where the objective of the game for killer should be to chase survivors for 12 chases and if you successful in winning the mindgames at loops, than you should be rewarded with game slowdown(Like freddy add-on's) in the form of Hex:Ruin. He does not like certain aspects of the game like Hatch, NOED, all forms of camping(Hag-type gameplay), slugging, 3 gen, Mori's as he believe that they are cheap shortcuts to undermining winning. Basically he thinks those strategies are plaster fixes and unskillful methods of winning that interfere with natural progression of normal hook-chase gameplay.

You know how certain survivors used to say like "Infectious Fright Oni is disgusting" or "Stridor Spirit" or "Forever Freddy". Well they should be strong and challenging with their best perks. The attitude that this is fun challenge to conquest, not "Nerf Freddy" or "Nerf spirit" unfun reeeee. If you design a killer like Ghostface whoses sole objective is to stealth-instant down than he is suppose to be effective and reliable at instant down-stealth play style and maybe the killer should have perks that facilitate that particular play style similar to how Stridor facilitates Spirit's play-style. Where I disagree with Tru3 is that I do not think you should generic try to plaster fix the game with single generic perk, otherwise, you can just plaster fix the game devour hope. It would be super boring and dull to face same thing every single game. The killers are all suppose to be challenging in their own unique way based off their playstyle/kit. Its just that most of the killer cast unique-play style is pretty weak and lackluster vs good players.
