3 Banned Killer Selection
In some ranked games I play, you can ban characters from the selection. I'm at the point I want to DC as soon as I get certain killers, and I see the same on my SoloQ team.
This will make it so people who dc with certain killers won't match up with the killer. While people who want to play against the killer get to have fun and hopefully not DC.
Data of seeing who is most banned will show if a certain killer is OP. If survivors don't enjoy playing against a certain killer their is an issue.
What would be your 3?
Mine are not because they are OP, I just don't have a good time:
Dredge, Doctor, Plague
Comments
-
Bubba - 95% of the ones I face just camp from the get go.
Legion - Mending simulator games are just beyond tedious.
Blight - Most of the ones I get run alchemist ring and play like their lives depend on winning.

If they did this the queue times for Blight and Nurse players would skyrocket, with MMR thrown out the window trying to get them a lobby. Prolly also for a couple of other killers found to be "unfun" or "boring" or "unfair" or whatever flimsy excuse. Would be abused into oblivion.
Nope nope nope

I kind of wish you could pick one killer to have a reduced chance to encounter just for accessibility's sake. Like I do get survivors who quit on learning I'm a plague and although it's mostly not liking her a couple have apologised and said they just can't handle the vomiting. I can't even be mad in that scenario it would just be better to not be matched with them. Yes you'd have to manage how it works with SWF, and yes most people have no specific phobias and will just pick the one they dislike most but I don't see that as such a big deal, there's a lot of other killers out there.
3 is too much especially if there's no restrictions. 4-man squads carefully picking out the 12 strongest killers to avoid would not be healthy for the game at all.
Your idea also contradicts itself. You say it can show which killers are OP and then picked 3 which you don't find OP yourself.
Anyway to eventually answer the question I'd go for clown, bubba and pinhead
1 -
Imagine pushing for this, yet killers still can't see if there is an swf present in 2022. Their reasoning is because "killers would shop lobbies and extend queue times" but this surely wouldn't have a similar issue, no sir.
Sarcasm aside, they should instead work on accessibility issues around specific killers. I know someone who refuses to play against Plague because they legitimately get ill from all the constant puking noises and vomit splashing around, which is a lot more valid than "I dont like how x killer plays" and I feel those types of considerations SHOULD be worked around. But that should be in the form of stuff like an option to locally mute (as in only on that player's side) for the vomiting noise. Other similar options could easily be made for a lot of the issues both as and against multiple killers, even something like an option to change the clown's outfit to something else for those coulraphobics out there.

I would ban Ghostface, Trickster and Blight.
Those three are annoying.

The difference between dbd and ranked games that allow you to ban things is that games where you can ban things are symmetrical. This means that you are not only banning things you don't want to face, but you also can't use what your team has banned either.
DBD is asymmetrical meaning a ban system will never work.
5 -
True,
Dredge- It's pitchblack on my screen, I have troubles on some maps that are simply too dark.
Doctor- Counters my playstyle of sneaky medic
Plague- SoloQ survivors are consistently drinking out of the fountain then go right back to an infected gen, it just irritates me sooo much.
Edit: SWF unable to ban
0 -
Nurse: Obv reasons
Bubba: 4/5 bubbas are facecampers
Legion: X D
If i could ban a survivors perk i would ban Prove Thyself
0 -
Bubba - 100% it will be facecamping with all baggage of insults, taunting, etc.
Wraith, Legion, Nemesis - majority of players are very tilted, toxic (in more than half of matches it will definetely be hookslaps, hard tunneling, camping and BM in chat).
1 -
I'd ban Freddy, Legion, and Doctor
0 -
Freddy? Is it because it's a sleepy match? I get happy when I see a Freddy, plus he's the opposite of Dredge, as in while in dream state I can see everything and my eyes feel amazing.
0 -
I'd ban huntress and pinhead.
0 -
You know how you get more killer variety? Stop nerfing all of their tools down to the lowest common denominator, and stop introducing perks/mechanics that completely nullify their alternatives. It really is that simple.
6 -
I definitely think there should be color coded chainlink on top of their names to their respective SWF. They already have the advantage that they are in communication, and even if you tunnel them first, this slightly evens that advantage.
0 -
Bird Poop Lady
Trapper (I hate being afraid of grass, windows and doorways).
0 -
Have you considered getting over it?
Also your example is not even comparable in the slightest sense. Those games have huge amounts of characters for every type of niche and role, and they are also not a 4v1.
High banrates has nothing to do with balance. People ban for all sorts of reasons. If people don't enjoy playing against a killer, there is no issue.
3 -
I don't agree with the suggestion, but if it was implemented I'd ban Nurse, Spirit and Bubba.
0 -
Why is your answer that and not just have an accessibility option that replaces Plague's puke with something else visually shaders-wise so it's not puke-like?
0 -
Because I hadn't thought of that but yes that would be a simpler solution 🤔 they already have the blue version from nemesis anyway
0 -
I am all for this but I would think it would be a ban when you queue up per lobby. Solo queue each person gets a ban if youre in a team of more than 1 still only one ban., However I think there would need to be something on the other side as well. Maybe a survivior perk set ban. ie ban meg = no adren/quick and quiet/ sprint burst.
0 -
Why do people keep parroting this obviously awful idea over and over this month? Did a social media/stream man talk about it or something?
3 -
I agree. Let us "ban" 1 Killer we never want to go against. I highly doubt they'd let us ban more than one.
0 -
Because it is very common in other games.
0 -
Somethings in the water, bro. Don't drink it or the next thing you know, we will be asking for bans in a blind selection asymmetrical party game where three of the meta killers are base.
5 -
Legion - I hate mending and they constantly know where you are if you find someone else
Plague - I hate coughing and throwing up throughout the match so I can just be 1 shot
Blight - Too many people play him! He's boring now...
0 -
Wow it's almost like completely different games are not even remotely comparable.
2 -
In RANKED modes in other games. DBD is a party game. Come on.
Not even touching the other obvious issues. Nurse players don't deserve twenty minute matchmaking, even if I don't care for the killer.
1 -
Absolutely not Nurse.
;)
1 -
I didn't get notified you responded. The forums are still broken. :/
He just bores me. There are a lot of Killers I love to go against, but Freddy is just meh for me. And really? I actually love the Dredge 😂 I will say though, before Gideon got reworked, I loved facing Freddy on that map because it was the only time I got to see. I ran into everything on the lower level.
0 -
Deathslinger, Bubba, Plague
0 -
Sure.
But in return, when I play killer I get to veto 3 maps.
Fine?
3 -
Me and other survivor mains will ban the killers that are boring, unfun, that have simply demanding counters and that are challenging, i want fun, i would choose to play against pig, ghostface, freddy, sadako, trapper, wraith, myers and maybe doctor, deathslinger and trickster and others like them are simply too complicated for me to handle. Some of them are not strong, simply unfun and boring, i want to escape more, i want more safe loops.
I agree, ban bubba, i simply cant do gens when he camps, is very hard and demanding. Even if we make it to 1 gen left and 3 players, i simply cant loop or deal with him even if the map is full of resources and still safe loops (because he camped the whole match, has not break must pallets yet). Bubba is simply awful to play against, i wanna do the gens while he camps standing still, my chase dont last long because the map being full of resources is not enough, i want more safe loops against him. I agree
1 -
That's the problem.
Most high MMR people would just ban Nurse, Blight and Huntress - or whatever killers happen to be the strongest at that point in time. Which is why this would never work.
I'd ban Bubba (camping), Myers (TSP) and Nurse.

Cherry picking killers is a terrible idea
But, hypothetically:
Spirit
Legion
Plague
0 -
- Nurse
- Bubba
- Blight, but if Blight was fixed so he couldn't do 180 turns and wall slide, Hag
0 -
You do realize Blight can't do a 180 flick in a single turn right? The only way to do 180 now is pre-turn or double-flicks, which are both intentional design. Wall sliding is also an intentional mechanic. I have no clue what you mean by "fix". Only hug tech is unintentional, sliding as a whole is not.
0 -
deathslinger, i hate quick scopes even if they were nerfed.
spirit, I just despise her after trauma
legion? I am not sure, id ban whoever I see more than other killers, legion has gotten kinda popular but his ability is annoying, but if i were to keep getting a certain amount of any killer thatd be my 3rd
0 -
Would be nice if you could just ban 1 killer at least not sure how that could work with 4 survivors
0 -
He can't do it.. but he can do it. So he can do it? That's why he's #3.
0 -
There's a difference in flicking 180 in a single frame and doing it in a multi-step process. One is near impossible to deal with, the other isn't.
0 -
Deal
0 -
Horrible idea for entitled players to cherry pick. Yeah we'd have some casuals pick killers they don't like, but we'll have more Swf's using this to eliminate the killers that are most common in higher mmr just for easier games.

Legion - gen and mending simulator

Find in my first message where I mentioned the amount of processes.

Just throw the entire killer roster in the trash
0 -
I think that’s a fair trade tbh
0 -
Sure as long as us killer mains can ban 2, 3 and 4 man SWFs from our lobbies
1 -
So killers who cant change there killer in lobbys anymore are just banned from queue bad idea

Sorry Hag but it's timeto go to the retirement home
