How do the devs feel about DMS?
As a killer, I love it. It rewards hooking and synergizes well with PR. As a survivor, it's agonizing at first but once you know it's in play you can avoid it altogether.
With the devs announcing changes to boil over that was buffed at the same time as DMS, but not saying anything about DMS, does that mean they're happy with the changes?
What do you guys think

I think that they aren't as petty as your average survivor main that wants DMS nerfed simply because Boil Over got nerfed.

Dead Man's Switch does not buff Bubba's face camping enough. When Bubba revs his chainsaw, it should cause DMS to activate.

He has become enlightened. Once you touch nirvana, you start seeing the world in a different light.

how do you counter it besides not get hooked
1 -
Don't let go off the gen

Guess I let people die on hook then in soloq

They do not play their game so they can't feel it.
They'll collect some stats eventually and do some balancing changes if needed

If people are dying on Hook because of DMS, then someone needs to git gud. DMS is only active for 45 seconds, that's enough time to get half a gen done and go for the save

I think its use will go down in time.

^this. Too many solo players think they need to let go of a gen and go save as soon as someone is hooked. When in reality, the better macro play is to finish the gen then save. Cause they're going to be on second stage next time whether you unhook immediately or 10-20 seconds later.
I think DMS is working perfectly fine. Is it stronger on certain killer's than others? Yeah. Is it game breaking? Nah. You can even get off the gen right before they hook and go save if that's your intent. Keeps you from procing both DMS and and pain resonance so it's good habit to have. If you're going for save, let go pre hook, if you're not saving and you're committing to the gen, just commit to it.

It doesnt matter for them. Multiple perks are broken because of extream synergys with certain killer powers. Something like tinker ruin undying blight hasnt even been looked into. DMS on artist and doctor is completely broken. the pig exploit people started to use, camping bubbas... nothing happens to it. Out of 26 killers only 2 have below 50% killrate (being 49% if i can remember correct), meanwhile they are looking into deadhard because its giving too much survivability... i wonder why so many people run it....

Ngl, I love seeing bubba mains post on the forums. You guys are great 🤣

If you're going for the save dont get on the gen before the hook? It only blocks the gen after you let go during its duration.

Or even if he does, it's a 45 second lock, max. How long does it take to run to the hook, get the save, find a spot to heal, heal to full health, and return to the gen? My guess, longer than 45 seconds. Meanwhile, his progress is saved since the killer can't kick the gen while it's blocked.

The problem with it is on some killers its a bit OP but not on all.
I find it pretty easy to keep it fairly constantly activated every 45s and the other problem is if 2 survivors are on a gen and only 1 lets go it still blocks the gen. It means youre both stuck to commit to a gen or leave it.

You have 2 way to counter DMS the first way is you dont let go of the gen that way work if the killer domt have pain resonance. The second way if the killer have pain resonance you let go of the gen before the survivor get hook if your gen have the most progress its going to explode but because you are not on it DMS wont trigger for you so until you let go of your gen again you should be fine and you just counter DMS.

I think to will be nerfed in the next patch. They will either say something like a week before the ptb or we will just find out the day of.

If you're the only person on your gen, and you leave the gen to go unhook someone, it won't really matter that the gen is blocked - nobody is doing it and it'll probably be unblocked or nearly unblocked by the time you get back. This is especially true if you don't immediately go for the unhook (in which case you could have gotten off the gen before the hook happens and DMS procs.)

not a dev but i don't think it's as powerful as many thought it'd be. sure it has some good synergy with PR but once it's blocked you can't PGTW the gen, right? the counterplay seems to be letting go of a gen right when a survivor is getting hooked, and then continuing it to recover the 15% and only then do you go for the save.

Don't touch the gens/let go before your friend is hooked. Pain Resonance won't make you scream when you don't touch the gen and DMS won't engulf the gen you are working at the moment if you time a little break right.

Meditated, masticated, what's the difference?

Considering how they worded like "I'm going to fix boil over" and not with DMS, it's fine.

Im not sure if you can meditate well masticating.

It's the only time I meditate
