Twitch Streamer wins 1000 games in a row as Blight

I also have to disagree with Otz’s because while yes Blight is strong. But I would argue that he’s not as strong as say they say. I mean when I play with Blight I would win sometimes. I would also lose some games with him too, a lot. But this from my own experience from playing on console. I will say that maybe yes Blight may probably feel better on PC, I don’t know. So anyway from what I seen of seen from videos of PC Blights like console Blights they also struggled sometimes.

What I’m trying to say is that you also shouldn’t relied on win-streaks or data in general. Cause sometimes data for the most part is usually wrong. That everyone’s experience is different when playing and that’s okay. Cause everyone plays and learns and differently.

BHVR already said they were going to change Blight, when they chimed in on posts re: Blight movement exploits last year. It's just a matter of how much and when they're going to do it. As far as I remember, McLean, who designed Blight, tried to fix him before he left, but "failed to do so." <-- His words. I'm sure they can do it, but it's also going to take a lot of resources too. I wouldn't be surprised if they changed the environment more and collision in general before they mess with Blight.

The real problem is that with a certain style of play, in the case of the 1000 win streak, hard tunneling "who is my tunnel out this round" and slugging is the easiest way to win the game. However, this style of play ruins the gaming experience for the other players and, if the killer is in a mentally stable state, for himself as well.

There would be a lot of options to address this issue such as the revamped Scourge Hook: Pain Resonance to reward players even more for taking the time to hook various survivors. There are also useful perks like DS that could be adjusted again so that they are also useful against chase killer, then these 3 seconds are unfortunately useless against a nurse or blight.

However, as a compensation, the Survivor page regarding Gen Proress should finally be adjusted. Prove Thyself is far too strong and basically the first 2 minutes in the game the effectiveness of repairing the generators should be reduced to something (85% of the normal value) so that killers with less mobility also have a chance and don't lose a generator despite corrupt intervention before the first chase has ended.

:"Buff character because bad players are worse than good players who also efficiently use third party tools on that same character". Only for survivor side lol.

Our community may not be just survivor mains but surely it is survivor biased.

On survivor side the outliers ( "seal team six on comms") are whst commonly agrred upon should be available to all players.

On killer side the outliers need to be hammered down. See the permanence of "nerf top killers" threads.

What I meant was that it may be too difficult to even change Blight that they may find it easier to adjust other aspects of the game. It was a joke, but not really.

This type of balancing is so annoying. It's definitely the way they balance the game

Blight needs a slight basekit nerf and some add-on nerfs otherwise he’s fine. His power recharge should be 2.5 or 3 per token imo

All this streak show’s is that if you tunnel and slug against the average players you will win every match. That’s not surprising

My winstreak with Blight is 2. Can I be a streamer?

Heard loud'n'clear, buffing AdrenaVial again as we speak.

I hope that when devs decide to make changes to Blight, they aren’t doing so just because someone got a high winstreak and people were complaining.

While the actual timeline of events may differ, it felt like:

1) The concept of basekit Unbreakable was floated about after One Pump Willie’s Onryo condemnation slugging strategy became popular.

2) SupaAlf’s Nurse winstreak also gained traction sometime before Nurse changes were announced.

If all it takes for a Killer to get changed directly or indirectly is a high winstreak and enough complaints, then perhaps the players should be the ones balancing the game instead.

So tell me, is the average survivor swf or solo? From the last stats, they are solo, and if you balance around the average solo survivor, yes, you still have to nerf blight, as well as several other killers.

The thing you showed is not the power of high ranking survivors, its the power of swf, and we all know its a problem for the game.

Lol at the title . Sorry no , no one wins 1,000 or even 50 games in a row as killer OR survivor.

Blight it self is mostly fine, but there's a few changes Id like to see:

The hitbox of his swing from a Lethal Rush be slightly reduced, that thing is the size of Mothers Dwelling and the amount of hits I've seen that had no reason to connect is absurd

Blighted Rat becomes basekit, most people run either the Rat or Crow anyway so this would incentivize running other add ons (of course if this is done, nerfing the Blighted Rat and Crow to compensate would be ideal)

Adrenaline Vial is probably one of the most slept on add ons in the games history. Use this with Shredded Notes and you have 6 rushes that come back in roughly 5 seconds. How would I nerf it? Idk

Alchemist Ring either needs a new effect, or a downside. Personally I'd go with the latter to make it more high risk high reward by making it take longer to regen tokens

Compound 33 just needs the pallet breaking removed

Plenty of survivor teams that are doing massive amounts of "wins" as well.

My opinion is quite simple.

If the devs want this to be a competitive game where esports potentially is a thing, tournaments, ranking systems that matter etc. Then obviously you need to balance around the best of the best players.

If the devs want this game to be a casual "goof around with friends a bit" party game, then you balance around average players.

The biggest problem is DBD seems like it does neither. They obviously don't balance around top level players or 1k win streaks would never be possible. And they don't balance around the "goof around with your friends" because there is so much toxic ######### that you can do in this game "AS BOTH SIDES" that make the game super unfun for other people. Additionally, often times, the most effective way to WIN the game, is to actually play in the least fun way possible. If this was a party game, they would figure out what is fun and double down on that.

I personally am biased towards the top of the top players for several reasons:

1. If the game is not balanced around the capabilities of the highest level players, then the high level players will bully the low level players (even with matchmaking) and eventually the game will die off.
2. If the game is unbalanced at the highest level, there is nothing to strive for, and the game will eventually die off. It may take a long time, but it will happen. Imagine if chess was balanced in way that, at the lowest levels of play, the game is balanced 50/50, but at the highest level, white wins 70% of the games. Do you think chess would be as big of a deal today still?
3. The top players are able to push the game to the limits, and often times beyond. Allowing you to see what is possible, making it actually easier to make balance decisions with them in mind.

That isn't to say that you completely IGNORE the low level players. But i say, you balance FOR and AROUND the high level players, while keeping in mind low level players exist. I think this video sums it up very well IMO when talking about TF2 and the" BASE JUMPER" item:

The whole video is a good watch, but the timestamped bit shows exactly what i'm talking about.

For example, in DBD:

• Look at some of the crazy, jungle gym, into crazy main building with multiple god pallets and god windows, into killer shack, into another jungle gym, loops that good survivors can use to waste several minutes of a killers time, meanwhile the rest of their team is doing all the gens. It is so bad on some maps that you literally just don't chase survivors around entire sections of a map because doing so would mean you automatically lose.
• But now look at low level players, they predrop god pallets, wasting them, then get hit through them anyway.
• What if we nerfed those god loops and crazy main buildings? Is that going to actually hurt low level players? Not really, because they aren't abusing those structures to their fullest potential anyway.

The types of changes they keep making are things that actually hurt low level players, or buff top tier survivors like the healing changes, when there are obviously plenty of things they can do to make the game more fair for all skill levels. Camping is another thing they could address. It really only works against low level and solo queue survivors because they can't communicate and deal with it. But the SWF kill squads don't really care. So why not remove camping as a strategy because you are only going to be helping low level players, and you won't really be hurting top tier killers because they aren't getting much use out of it anyway.
