Best player for each killer?

Nurse- Knightlight is probably the most decorated in terms of prize money, but there are a lot of really good ones out there.

Billy- Dmr1

Spirit- Off the top of my head, probably Wizzle

I think knightlight is one of the better OVERALL killers in the game.

If we are disregarding comp players already listed here, and just overall good pub nurses, teejuana is a good nurse.

I think Ralph is the best huntress out there. I don't think he cares enough to go on streaks tho, if that matters in the criteria here.

I haven't ever got matched with umbra, but I feel like I'm never prepared when I get matched with coco/ralph. The first time I ever did was... quite a shock to be honest.

I mean I'm not saying lilith is definitively the best blight, but he is very very rarely playing at his max potential. Majority of the time he is probably playing at 30% potential. Maybe once or twice every few months when I was watching him a lot. That is a lot of fun to watch and anyone who didn't watch Lilith streams as much as I did would just look at his youtube videos or even just peep his stream to check.

How tf did they get P100 with Skull Merchant that fast when I’m still only P54 with Spirit 😭

im the best skull merchant

do not question why

just am

I don't know any comp Blights, but I've a hard time believing their success in comp puts them any rung above Lilith Omen. Most survivors I've seen in comp are slightly above average, at best. Obviously they're more coordinated, and thus require the Killer to manage their time really well, but the macro game is a universal skill all Killers need to learn.

The top tier loopers you find in pubs are a better test of a Killer's skill than the comp players who go down in 30s.

Hag: Michi

Onryo: PumpWillie

Artist: SAOGonza? (Really haven't seen anyone maining her, probably because she's very strong and everyone doing OK playing her)

Greyletters is kinda Jack-of-all-trades, so no, not count as "main". So probably you :)

Most comp Survivors are going to be much more difficult to beat than any pub teams.

You need to not only be beyond proficient with your Killer of choice, but you also need to be extremely good at macro play.

It's important to remember that you can throw a dart at any comp match and find better matchmaking than the average pub. Those survivors might look average against a comp killer, or vice versa. Just like the how worst team in the NFL looks awful against other NFL teams but would beat the best college team by 70.

Far from it.

As @HugTechLover started getting into, comp has a different demand than pub games. Are comp Survivors harder to beat that pub Survivors? Absolutely. Are they better than pub Survivors? Not that I've seen. They just have one very important element that pub games lack--teamwork.

Comp doesn't demand that Survivors be the greatest loopers, because they already have the numbers and resource advantage. They can all go down instantly in every chase, and still 3-4 escape, so long as they play the macro game correctly.

It's really tough to compare DBD to any physical sport, when the game lacks so much mechanical skill.

To become a professional athlete in any sport, you need to surpass certain benchmarks of success, because they are considered "average" at the highest level of play. These benchmarks include things such as speed, strength, dexterity, reaction time, etc.

DBD doesn't have any of that. A Survivor with 0hrs runs just as fast as a Survivor with 5k hours. A Survivor with 50hrs does a generator just as fast as a Survivor with 500hrs.

All of your skill as a Survivor in DBD is demonstrated in your decision making, which is observable regardless of a Killer's skill.

And the decision making I see in comp, outside of the macro game, is abysmal--at least with respect to displaying individual skill.

This isn't to say that comp Survivors couldn't prove themselves to be some of the best loopers in the game. They're just not being challenged in the competitive scene to demonstrate any of that skill, and thus the Killers in comp aren't required to be the best in chase...which I believe is where you demonstrate how good you are with a chase killer like Blight.

What even does "Good decision making" mean when half of the game revolves around mindgames? For example, is greeding a pallet a good decision? Because that will buy you some time against most experienced killers; however chances are that it won't work against a total noob who doesn't even know what a pallet is...

I think what you don't realize is that good killers win their chases rather quickly. So, if a survivor goes for what looks like the "good decision" to you, comp killers will have predicted that scenario and get a hit regardless. So comp survivors have adapted and do things that look suboptimal, which maybe make them look stupid to you when they fail it, but once in a while it works. I can guarantee your "Best pub loopers" would not last any longer in chase.

I believe you are a victim of a serious Dunning Krueger effect, there are several weird things in your message... first there is actually an insane amount of mechanical speed and reaction time involved in DBD. One example, please watch this clip and tell me if you notice something: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8Z8lP_gBJE&t=945s . Good mindgame, right? If you look carefully, there are a few frames where the medkit disappears before the survivor vaults the window, and so the killer dropped early because he knows the survivor doesn't fake it. Even Otz got caught...

And another thing: a survivor with 500 hours is actually faster than one with 50 hours, because the one with 500 hours will be better at hugging walls and hence get more practical speed in a loop vs. one with 50.

Freddy - KingWolfe

Leatherface - Seth

This is kind of puzzling, tbh.

You have 3k hours at DBD and allow yourself to claim: "The only survivor who showed any competency was Zaka".

You realize these "not very competent survivors", are Zaka's teammates in TEAM ETERNAL ie. they are literally the best comp team in the world?

Not only do they each have 5x your number of hours, but they spent these hours practicing against other top players, while you probably spent most of yours against pubs.

Now which scenario do you think is more likely to be true: either you are right and these players are not very competent compared to you (btw then you should enroll to DBDLeague ASAP because they are the ones who won it) or you are wrong and this is the literal definition of the Dunning–Kruger: you are make very dubious critics of experts, while not being an expert yourself.

"Of course he noticed the medkit disappear", of course, that literally requires a few frames of reaction time btw, and even Otzdarva thought he would fake the window so you are better than Otz (15k hours btw) and the 2nd thing you are also missing is that if the survivor had waited a bit more to vault the window, then there wouldn't even be any medkit frame, so it would indeed be a 50/50. For someone who could "write a thesis on this game", I'm surprised you didn't mention that.
