The DC- and Self-Destruction movement - DEVS dont fall for it
A lot of people cry a lot about the new (in my opinion very healthy) patch and forces games to end quickly with manipulating Killrates toward High-Kill-Rates.
Mass-Disconnects, Self-Sacrifices and so on are a big issue now + we've seen a lot of hackers are back too.
I really hope the Devs does not fall for this propaganda of people, who use this "politic" to get their old Meta back, because they are just refusing to adept and learn new gameplay.
Old dog doesnt want to learn new tricks, right?
Sucks, guys, really bad! Adept and play, dont destroy everyones game-experiences, because a lot of people actually know that DH for example was absolutely broken.
Of course Devs needs to change more to bring everthing closer together (Nurse, Blight, weak killers, some perks, Addons), but I think they watch closely what the next steps should be.

The devs have already said they are not doing any sudden changes. They can also differentiate a DC from a kill so kill rates shouldn’t inflate too much

Nevermind, what even is this thread?

Once again, bringing up dead hard to compensate for NOT wanting the changes to be reverted is not a valid reason. you're literally disregarding what followed. They NERFED survivors and BUFFED killers. How many times does this need to be pointed out for the killers to understand THAT MOVE not okay?
If they had just nerfed certain perks like DH/DS, things would've went fine but they DIDNT. DH/DS nerf IS NOT the reason why survivors are pointing out the killers flaw and needless bluff?

Yeah I remember during WW2, there was a balance patch that buffed the British faction to the point where Germany simply couldn't beat them. Even with thana the Germans simply couldn't win
I think it was an overreaction though, I mean it's not our fault we're an island that you can't really invade easily
What is this post

Personally I am loving the new patch. I reinstalled the game for the first time in two months. Some of my favorite killer perks got nerfed but I adjusted. Ruin and Pop got nerfed but I'm not disconnecting.
Survivors seem to be really overly upset about Dead Hard. I have seen many survivors use other very good perks like Sprint Burst and Lithe.
The devs did a great job on this patch.

I removed the politician part, because its not the right way to bring politics in a video game. Sorry for that part. ✌️

Good thing you removed that part. It was unacceptable.
A lot of people cry a lot about the new (in my opinion very healthy) patch and forces games to end quickly with manipulating Killrates toward High-Kill-Rates.
Your opinion. I recognize it as 'tenable'. However, that does not make it generally correct in my eyes.
Mass-Disconnects, Self-Sacrifices and so on are a big issue now + we've seen a lot of hackers are back too.
Not from my point of view: The egoism that is the driving force on both sides is the problem. What was tolerable before is now being exacerbated.
I really hope the Devs does not fall for this propaganda of people, who use this "politic" to get their old Meta back, because they are just refusing to adept and learn new gameplay.
You might see it as propaganda, but then you're not diving deep enough into the problem, I mean.
Old dog doesnt want to learn new tricks, right? Sucks, guys, really bad! Adept and play, dont destroy everyones game-experiences...
In my eyes, you are not looking closely. You take your view at face value and do not seem to question it. I've mentioned in other posts of mine the possibility that there is a direct relationship between the concept behind the game, the mechanics, and human selfishness, which is now brought to light more strongly by the new patch.
You wrote 'Adept and play':
I see it as teanable but selfish to write something like that, because you conclude from yourself to others. Just because it may be easy for you, it is not the same for others. Just because the game may seem to you as a profession, so it is for others simply a game.
You wrote 'dont destroy everyones game-experiences':
I won't deny that people also go out with that intention, but you seem to be missing something: In my view, the terms 'winning', 'losing' and 'giving up' are inseparably connected with the term 'game'.
You also seem to overlook the fact that when a player leaves the game early, there is a contingent of players left who could adapt to the new situation and still have fun. But in many games the opponents don't seem to be ready for that. I wonder why and I always come up with only one answer for me: It is 'selfishness' driven by ignorance of the fact that 'we come together to play against each other'.
What does selfishness do? From my point of view, it exposes the stringent concept of the game. The devs can pimp the look, design new maps and adjust variables of the game mechanics, but from my point of view they can't make the gameplay unpredictable. An expectation then develops from that, because we are human and we are not stupid. Based on this expectation, we observe whether the gameplay follows it and if it does, then it quickly becomes boring.
At this moment, you need an opponent with foresight who recognizes this and withdraws his egoism somewhat (i.e. grants chances). This leads to a turnaround, which is then unexpected and refreshing. This leads to people staying in the game and engaging.

I really like your post. :-)

lets see what are they going to do when they see that their game is diying for that, i think is nothing related to the old meta or the "new tricks" (i did learn new tricks long time before this patch came out), the game IS SOOOO BORING to play now after that disaster they call patch xD! unlike the most part of the players, myself and my friends play DbD to get fun and have good moments not to escape all games or kill all survivors, we think that if a game is not FUN, is not fulfilling its objective and its not worth playing, i played more survivor than killer, and i stopped using those "meta perks" since a loooot time ago, i didnt like that i became very dependant of them... DS, Dead Hard, Unbreakable, iron will etc, i wanted to improve my skill, i didnt want that a perk decides if i survived or died, so i stopped using those perks... your better perk has to be your skill, it was hard at the beggining but is it possible, i could.
unfortunately this patch made the game worse, not for buffing the killers or the changes they made to the perks, they said that they wanted to do something about the tunneling and camping, the changes to the base kit for killers and survivors are ok for me, but those "strategies or gameplay" only grew worse and the killers are camping an tunneling more than before now. i know the most part of the survivors are a bunch of genrushers and everything, after all the objetive of the game is to repair the gens, power the gates up and escape before the killer gets you, may be would be good if they raise the number of gens needed to power the gates or even increase the generator repairing time again. and for killers may be increase the base Endurance time to 7 or 8 seconds (only if you are hanged in basement), if you get hanged on the Basement you dont have time to reach a window or pallet in 5 secs and as a killer its pretty easy to wait just 5 secs and tunnel (specially if the 3 remaining of them went to save) as i remember they said thats why they added that to the survivor base kit... or just fix that MMR which i think its the true problem... anyways we love the game but is not fun anymore since that patch came out. its just my opinion.
Besides, in our case, we just DCed or suicided with boring killers, Nurses (even the low skilled ones)& Legions their mechanics are boring and specially with legions, the matches get sooooo looong and boooooring, its a completely loss of time. we are leaviing DbD for a while, i hope they find a good solution for this.
Greetings i hope i can see you in the fog again someday

A needless buff? The devs wanted higher kill rates so they did what they thought would help improve that.

This forum definitely needs MORE conspiracy theories from killers about how all survivors are deliberately trying to sabotage all the killers 4k every match.
1 -
I am not entirely convinced that this movement is really a thing and anything more then two handful of delusional sad guys trying to bring this game to its knees with individual effort.
In my MMR bracket I haven't seen any dc outside of spite when they were to go on their third hook and indeed my survivor opponents play as hard and unforgiving then pre-patch, yet games are at least two notches less stressful and much, much fairer.
BTW, I don't mind survivors DCing while I hook them on death hook. I can live without the couple of BP, but really appreciate that my MMR isn't rising as much because I didn't actually kill those survivors, letting me stave off the next seal team just that much longer :)

uh oh more conspiracy mumbo jumbo time to completely ignore these types of posts because they are detached from reality
1 -
There's no way you think people care that much to purposefully kill themselves on hook with the sole intention of manipulating the kill and escape rates.
Nobody cares.

I think the biggest Propaganda was killers complaining. The devs said before that 2 kills and 2 survivors escaping is normal for matches. But killers complain so mich because they can't get their 4 kills that they buffed killer

I remember that one time I couldn't take playing killer anymore and just stopped playing for two month. I just came back in time to grind out last seasons rift and got a cute tricorn hat for Charlotte. I guess I was a rebel once, too. Lol.

Healthy patch. Survivor propaganda. You're sure to go with this nonsense?

Marik, aren't you tired of being such a biased killer main?
You probably watch a lot of Fox News too :P

Can you imagine an organized group of in-game terrorist trying to inflate the kill-rate figures so that the devs do something?
hahaha
some people need to get their asses off their heads, it's clearly blocking neuronal synapse
