What's your DBD unpopular opinion?

I'd say second better with Overcome then. It can't be under Overcome as we can't use Overcome while being injured (unless there is an Endurance status effect at this moment), which makes it a bit less effective than SB.

That DBD needs to be moved to a better engine and needs a revamp of graphics and game mechanics.

And that the lack of any changes to core gameplay is due to the developers own laziness and lack of skill, rather than an impossibility or limitation of technology. As we've seen many many other games that are a lot more graphically intense, with way more content, from even smaller studios.

A different unpopular opinion, I'd prefer the game being more of a horror game rather than a party game like it currently is. Even if it meant I survive a lot less. Currently when I'm playing survivor, especially with friends, it feels like we're the power house of the game rather than the killer. And they're just a kind of added feature to occasionally interrupt my skill check simulator. You could remove all player killers and only have it against AI, and it wouldn't feel any different to me, and I don't like that lol

Flashlights are weak. Even in a dedicated SWF team.

If this game had DE(The ones who do Warframe) as a developer instead, this game would be phenomenal.

That game has had graphical updates, gameplay updates, new things added constantly, like large scale things added like whole worlds, while still adding new Warframes and weapons. They did a complete revamp of their whole melee system. And the game is only 3 years older than DBD. They have a lot of changes that were made, including balance changes, due to actual community feedback. They have community skins and cosmetics that were created by players that they added to the game.

If DBD had a studio like that? This game would be unstoppable.

Öhm, no. Because no other Dev came close to DbD until now.

But i agree completely that they could need some help from people who kno how to polish stuff.

Unpopular opinion:

As i saw old Samination DbD parodies everybody seemed to complain about the exact same stuff as now.

Funny. Therefore i think DbD is kinda much more balanced than everybody admits. (whining aside)

DbD doesn't require what people call 'skill' that much.

Repairing generator when survivors can is tremendously easy and boring.

Bringing good item/addon/favored map offering is absolutely not related to player's skill.

Some perks are impactful and applies same on both.

Maps.. Does survivors using Jigsaw Piece mean they are good?

All of these are just ridiculous.

Good at mindgames, playing certain killlers, versing certain killers can be meaningful.

But skill is usually unimportant in this game where balance is out of hand by devs. That doesn't change sadly.

Yeah... Or just... Don't know how they work.

I've had way too many people drop a pallet in my face while healthy.

I've even had people use their Dead Hard while I'm still in Frenzy.

I've even had someone accuse me of hacking because I found him with Legion's Killer Instinct.

Swf's need to be limited to duo only.

And/or handicaps given based upon swf numbers.

The Artist is the most unfun killer since the first iteration of The Legion.

Console survivors are generally better than PC players. People who sum up the lack of skill of their teammates to the platform they play on are usually the worst player on their team, I’ve observed.

SWF isn’t OP, the survivors are just better than you.

If DBD was made by any other developer they’d be ripped apart for their lack of basic features from certain settings to the lack of a game chat.

I've got a few opinions that some people don't seem to like.

• MMR is better than the old rank system, especially after what used to be the "rank reset" weeks. Most of the issues people complain about with the current matchmaking seem to have more to do with when the matchmaking system has to put someone in a first available slot because they're either an outlier rating and there's no good matchups or someone dodged a lobby and the system is putting in whoever's been waiting the longest to fill the spot, neither of which has anything to do with how accurate or inaccurate the underlying MMR is. Personally I've been getting relatively better matches under the current system so I'm ok with it.
• Gen speeds probably aren't that off from where they should be, and I say that as a killer-only player. Most of the complaints about gen speeds seem to stem from people who believe they should have a 50/50 chance of stopping the gens from being finished if they play well, but since the game is designed around some survivors escaping and some dying being the most common results that means even if you play well if the survivors also play well you'll still probably see the gates get opened at the end. It doesn't mean the "gens are too fast", it means the expectation that the gens should be stopped half the time is wrong.
• "Tunneling" is just a complaint from people who are upset they or their friend got downed early. There's absolutely nothing "unfair" or "unsportsmanlike" about downing someone two or three times in a row. The whole point of killer is to down people, and it only makes sense to down an injured person over a healthy one or someone that's already got a hook versus someone without a hook. Not to mention that there's not even consensus on what is and isn't "tunneling", and many complaints about it that I've gotten after a game are obviously not even tunneling in any sense of the word. (I once had someone complain that I "tunneled" after a 12 hook game with Legion.)

The game would be more interesting if they nerfed all of the strongest perks so that they wouldn't have as much value. In higher MMR games, everything is the same perk wise on both sides, which is extremely boring. I'd love for BHVR to try and balance perks out more, significantly buff older/unused perks, and level the playing field. As is currently stands, there are a handful of "must picks" for both side, which is very unhealthy.

Also, I think that there should be 1 more perk slot. 5 perk slots would allow for more variety. Most niche perks go unused because it requires 2-3 perks to make perks like Flip Flop even usable, which again, makes perks like DS.. Dead Hard.. etc, even more appealing. Perks should NOT require OTHER PERKS to be valuable. Its bad design.

Oh I think I got the most unpopular one of all!

Demo is the most boring killer to play, the most boring killer to go against (next to the Twins), and the most boring killer to watch (next to Pinhead). No lie, I watch streams while I work, and if it's demo gameplay on literally either side I turn it off. I literally can't do it.
