Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

Changes and adjustments to Killers and perks MUST happen more frequently with SBMM being added.

You have the data, you know who or what will be overperforming/underperforming. You can see which perks are being used too much and which ones too little, which Killers are reaching the top and which ones are scraping near the bottom.

Just because a Killer struggles currently does NOT mean they need a full rework, Clown got slightly reworked and it changed nothing, Billy got reworked and got made purely worse and now almost no one plays him anymore.

I think it's fair to say with this system being added you CANNOT, and I can't stress this enough, ignore the weaker things in this game for literal years. Make small adjustments to Killers like Trapper or Ghost Face here and there, buff weaker perks here and there. Just shift some numbers around, see what helps and what doesn't.

Make Clown's yellow bottle activate faster, make Trapper carry more traps by default.

YOU have the numbers, so everyone is expecting you to use them. You wanted the Skill Based Matchmaking to be a thing in DBD, now you must take responsibility and balance around this new system.

If something is weak, buff it and buff it QUICKLY. At least TRY, NO ONE wants to see the same Killers and perks EVERY single game.

    All I can say is developers who are soft on balance don't usually magically change to accommodate big updates in their game.


    They are either balance heavy or not. So, you know, I am not holding my breath.

    Problem: According to statistics, all the killers are overperforming at red ranks, therefore they need no changes. Billy has like 70% killrate at red ranks so he was among top 5-6 killers, so no changes required for Billy.
