The fact that this even works really says a lot about the balance of this game...

wow its almost like 99% of the survivor's perks right? here, have an advantage over the killer for getting outplayed haha funny

With your art? That's it?

I can't understand half of what he's saying.

Yes

I've watched every video he has uploaded for the last 1.5+ years. I have seen his internet go down, but I've never seen anything like you're describing. He usually has a really low ping. I've also seen him stomp comp teams.

Sounds like he's choking on his marble collection

Players like this ruin the game for everyone else. No question. If only the [REDACTED]s that played like this put the time and effort they spend on trying to upset other people into instead trying to be the positive change I guarantee the game's playerbase would be much happier and healthier as a whole. But nope. Too much to ask for apparently.

I honestly believe there’s someone at BHVR who gets some sadistic pleasure out of this. I mean making it like this to start with is questionable but understandable but keeping it this way for as long as they have without even trying workarounds or public experiments and solutions? Yeah someone loves the survivor salt and gets enjoyment out of making others miserable and resists any positive changes that endangers their salt supply.

This needs to be stamped out hard. The only thing offered is bandaids like reassurance which would do next to nothing in this scenario.

Oh same, I realise as both survivor and killer. The fact there is just so much potential for abuse on both sides is astounding, like I get it. Any game that has even the smallest *hint* of competitiveness/competitive play and you have the sweats out in droves trying to find the fastest way to finish and win games, be it perks, map layouts, discord coms, certain killers/survivors etc.

I too often wonder how I would improve/balance the game for both sides and find myself in the same position as you, in that I can't think of many things that could improve the game without favouring one side over the other.

Like maybe at the start of the game, on the larger maps, like Macmillian the survivor's auras are revealed for a few seconds or highlight the general area where survivors spawn just so the killer isn't spending 90 seconds checking every gen furthest from the 1-3 that are being worked on.

Maybe for survivors and to stop face camping, hook/entity progress is completely halted while the killer is within a certain radius, without completely negating the strategy of patrolling near hooked survivors.

But yeah, I agree, they'd have to completely rework the gameplay loop just to balance it all out and make it fair. Especially the map layouts and the RNG of pallets, jungle gyms, windows, vaults etc.

Huntress only gets 1 insta axe so clown should too. All pink add ons that are extremely strong need to have a strong negative effect. Theres no balance in clowns add on if he can just spam bottles constantly (which already slows down survivors and doesnt let them fast vault) until he eventually hits it. Or at least he shouldn't be able to combine it with add ons that give him more bottles.

The way something like this is allowed is off-putting, especially cause this dude intentionally does this to make other players miserable while thinking he's good and trash talking when all he does is use an unbalanced insta down, BM on hookband insult players when they are actually playing well and giving him a hard time with his dumb playstyle. He got outplayed by my bfs party and he got salty when they just....did the logical thing to do with a killer that plays like this. He's used to survivors just falling like flies trying to save the teammate when a smart SWF will let the hooked person buy them gen time. Reassurance cant do anything for a camping situation like this because of how small its radius is, only a self-reassurance kind of perk could actually work. And no, not steve's ha.

BHVR needs to analyse situations like this and work around trying to prevent intentionally malicious gameplay cause its really off-putting knowing i can encounter players like and makes me not want to hop on the game, knowing solo q and even duo is a miserable experience on its own is already off-putting enough.

Devs, please do this. This is my favourite solution I have seen thus far.

How does a killer get outplayed and destroyed yet 3K? That's called a win. I watched all those games from yesterday. There were a couple games where the team got an unhook and prolonged the game because he was blasting eggman music the whole time and spamming m1 hitting the hook. I'm guessing you must be talking about one of these few games where all the gens were finished and he picked everyone off while no way out blocked the exits. Your boyfriend's SWF got wrecked on one of the most survivor sided maps while Pro was meming. That's the fact of the matter. And since you don't know, pinky finger already has a negative side effect. It reduces your bottle count by 2.

He sometimes questions if players are cheating because of the high number of cheaters in the game. If someone is always making the right calls on 50/50s, you can't help but wonder if they are using wall hacks.
