Unpopular Opinions

That many players lack a sense of self-awareness. They'll blame perks, bad team mates, campers; yet they probably are also prone to be making many mistakes and probably exaggerate their experiences.

That someone may have an opinion, sees a popular streamer making a video on that same ideology, and they share it, only to be called "sheep" and devoid of intelligence, even though they already had that thought in place. As if, just because you share an opinion with someone well known, you now have to change it because you may be just copying them or some #########? It's a really dumb assumption to think people are sheep because of this.

The boredom of the DBD doesn't care about survivors/ killers/ players/ streamers/ hamsters/ pineapple on pizzas topics gets to me.

Finally, the over-dramatisation of everything: The game is dying! Survivors/ Killers are all disgusting people! Survivors can't win because of DH nerf! Just get some bloody perspective and chill already - think about the situation before you start ranting.

They're my chief gripes and unppular opinions.

• Sadako is on par with Wraith, I put them both at 2/5 stars. I don’t think she or Wraith are top tier but I also think there are some worse killers than both of them.
• The midchapter rework buffed killers obviously, but not nearly enough to make winning “impossible” for solo survivors like some people seem to claim. In reality it’s looking like the kill rates went up probably 7-8%, so it’s noticeable but definitely still winnable, assuming people aren’t flipping the table and leaving after the first couple of downs.
• There’s nothing unsportsmanlike or toxic about “tunneling” someone, which is mainly another way to say “downed them two or three times in a row”. The game is built around eliminating players mid-match so unless the killer is getting a bit unlucky they are going to be trying to get three hooks on someone to get them out of play. Hypothetically the devs try to discourage hitting someone literally right after they got unhooked to try and spread the damage out a bit, but that doesn’t make downing someone who got unhooked in your face toxic. Nor is it wrong to continue chasing someone you just injured, or to down someone who is injured versus hitting a healthy survivor. Complaints about all these things really stem from players who are eliminated early being frustrated they can’t keep playing, which is a downside of elimination mid-match. But if you want to blame anything blame the game for having that elimination baked into it, don’t blame the killers who are just trying to kill the survivors off.
• Facecamping isn’t necessarily toxic, but it’s also not a great strategy typically. You’re better off being more proactive in chasing someone else while a person is hooked than standing around doing nothing waiting for a survivor. I think a zone defense where you patrol a section of three or four generators and try and hook people in that area is a better strategy overall than literal facecamping.
• I don’t like playing as Nurse, staring at the ground half the match sucks. If they ever revamp her so she kept her head up to be able to see while in blink stun I’d play her, even if they decided that if they did that they needed to slightly increase the refresh time on the blinks to compensate. Also I think Nurse’s Plaid Flannel where she can she where she’s blinking to should be base kit to make her more new player friendly, although if they do that I think they should make the glowing marker a bit smaller and less intrusive (on some screens and in close range that marker can be kind of obnoxiously large and glaring.)
• Huntress and Trickster should have a small crosshair reticle showing where they’re aiming. (Deathslinger already has his gunsights.) DbD is strangely the only first person shooter I can think of with no aiming reticle for ranged attacks and it’s kind of annoying. Sure, you can get used to it if you play them a lot, but why should it be that way in the first place? There’s a reason every other shooting has a crosshair, I don’t get why DbD felt the need to buck that trend.
• MMR is actually pretty accurate in so far as, when players are close in MMR to each other, the match is normally relatively close assuming everybody plays to their skill level. Where matchmaking breaks down isn’t how the ratings are calculated or go up and down, it’s mostly to do with things out the rating system like players leaving lobbies and being replaced by last second backfills and swfs where players are often wildly different MMRs and sometimes just a big skew in survivor numbers versus killers in the queues. Those sorts of things cause mismatches even if the MMR itself for individual players is completely accurate.
• Player mistakes outweigh loadouts and builds. Someone messing up makes way more difference to the outcome of a game than what perks they brought or who the killer is. That’s why top streamers, for example, can have very high win rates both as killers and as survivors regardless of what they play, these are players who generally make very few mistakes and play a solid macro level strategy on either side of the fence. It’s only when the opposing sides are both playing well and not making misplays that their builds really become deciding factors. Error free Omega Nurses will get more kills on average than error free perkless Trappers, but both will win most games against survivors who make misplays.
• I said from the beginning of when they announced the 10 second base generator time increase that it would make a noticeable difference in the overall kill rates. At the time I got a bit of flak but now I think the consensus is slowly shifting toward my opinion on that. So file that under “opinion used to be more unpopular but is becoming more common.”
• I recently commented elsewhere that Collateral is my favorite Tom Cruise movie, but I realize I was forgetting Rain Man so I’ll change my statement to it’s my favorite Tom Cruise action movie.

Most, if not all of the maps are terrible. Tunneling is a meaningless buzzword. Hillbilly is still viable and most people completely overreact to his nerf/rework. Pyramid head and oni are overrated. The AoT skins for oni and spirit look like crap. Original chapters are better than licensed. Clown isn't dumpster tier and is more viable than people give him credit for, same goes for piggy.

Well you have a bias. Who do you think is the 2nd most fun?

David being made gay was literally nothing but a giant PR stunt that in no way shape or form improved this game, only served to make people feel good. Admirable yes, a waste of time, also yes.

Those aren't teabags those are twerks.

Yeah and trapper without traps is TOTALLY different from a trapper WITH TRAPS....oh and hey, here is another du doi observation, Nurse WITHOUT blinks is a totally different beast than a Nurse WITH BLINKS!! ;)

Hatch is a free escape.

the game was more fun in the 2019, when the old ruin was still between us, maps were darker, tryharders and toxicity were still present but MUCH less than now and games were more chill generally speaking

the game has a lot of RNG that is annoying af.

In regards to old Freddy people also played the tunnel one person out strategy which really did not work with how his power functioned

Yeah. That just stupid. Saying Old Freddy was worst killer is like saying Nurse is worst killer because i cant use her blink.

MoM is actually a decent perk now. Not great ofcourse but decent, miles better then it was before

Solo wouldn't be so bad if players picked more information perks and learned how to use them instead of trying to copy the swf meta

Tunneling isn't going to be fixed by trying to punish killers who do it. What you need is to make 3v1 less enticing for the killer.

Legion is fine how they are now.

Prerework Freddy was the best version of Freddy and only needed a handfull of tweeks. Incapacitated on dream transition alone would have fixed 90% of their issues

Trapper benifited the most out of the changes of any killer and has easilly jumped up 2-3 tiers because of them

The mayority of the community are as clueless or even more so about the game then they claim the devs to be

This would be a popular opinion imo

Treatment Mode and Punishment Mode Doctor was a lot more fun than the Static Blast Doctor is, while being on the same level of strength (basekit).
