Blight Became the Biggest DbD Problem Atm

Should this game be balanced around:
- Top Tier players (top 200)
- High Tier players (top 1-2%)
- Average players (most players)
- Low tier players (bottom 20%)

Skill issue,he is fun to play and play against.
Use a word that people like to say.
If you don't want to play with strong enemy, maybe you should not play to win,so mmr will help you .

I don't need to know who is and who isn't. Everyone, who is honest, knows that SWF stands at the top when it comes to balance. They always have and probably always will.
If you want to balance the game around average players survivors, then you should do the same for killers. You can't say "nerf such and such on killer side" because the average player doesn't have a chance against it, but be opposed to nerfs for the strongest things on survivor side because the average killer cant compete against it.
You don't even have to nerf survivors as a whole to nerf SWF. Just restrict some things when 3 or more players queue up together. They more than make up for it with discord. And no, this isn't punishing people for playing with their friends, this is balancing the game to be more fair for everyone.

That's nice and all but the last stats we got say that you're blatantly wrong.
61% average Kill rate, iirc. That includes SWF.

Base kit blight is still good. Just makes a blight play much more safely because of no speed/ring.

You’d hate to see the good blight’s hit 180’s. No it’s not a glitch. His power is fully designed that way. There is a peak look angle, and then a separate turn angle when you begin a swing. All you need is high DPI to utilize the full potential of his angles.

Self-imposed challenge.
When you become really good at something you enjoy, but the skill gap to your average opponent is so large that it becomes increasingly difficult to continue enjoying that particular thing, you find ways to handicap yourself so that you can continue to enjoy yourself.
I used to frequently face Blights running only Shadowborn & BBQ, with no add-ons, during Blight's heyday. This was PC-only lobbies, where the survivors were always sweating like it was a comp match, and the Blights were putting up a serious challenge.

Don't tell him you need high dpi as he'll assume it's a bug and ignore everything else you said. Alternatively to a higher dpi, just more mouse space.

Sucks for anyone who dares to play on Console tho
1 -
no kidding lol. Yes mouse space for sure. Even with high DPI I find myself running out of pad, and I have the Goliath.
I do feel for you console gamers. I wish y’all had better sensitivity options. Or better yet, mouse and key compatibility.

It's not quite the same but I use q and e at 100% sens for a few things and it's not too bad.

swf this swf that, you know that there can be people who are solo and they all are good at looping and wasting killer time? its not SWF its called=high level tier survivors who spent tons of time on this game. Can yall stop saying swf god it gets beyond annoying. I went against swfs who are a complete joke as killer and gotten teams who were not swf stomp me, for real people just love this 3 letter s.w .f my god. But no killer mains just want EZ games and no challenge so they wanna steam roll solo ques then complain getting stomp by swf which I doubt again its swf its more like raising mmr so high they get top survivor players.

I already told you before, stop asking questions i already answered. I know where you will go with this:
"If we are gonna balance game around average players, then buff Nurse. If we are gonna balance game around top tier players, then leave it how it is."
Yeah dude, sure but game balance is not that simple.
Just remember, we all are asking buffs for Twins because they are so weak. But then devs explained Twins are monster at high mmr.
Balance is not working like how you believe.

Just nerf his add ons across the board first and then see if his base kit still needs to be addressed.
But we do have a basic idea of how balanced he is without those add ons.
For the first year or 2 of his release no one ran Adrenaline Vial or C33 and mostly ran turning, speed and aura add ons. Alc. Ring and double speed were the only bad combos, but they weren't that common because everyone ran turning to counteract his awful camera placement.
It wasn't until they massively buffed Adrenaline Vial and top Blight players kept talking about how underrated C33 is that they ended up becoming an issue. And of course they fixed his camera bug so turning add ons aren't as useful anymore, freeing up an add on slot for double speed or one of the other busted add ons every game (also turning add ons mess with techs, so why run them now).
So he wasn't really an issue back when people ran less busted add ons. So just nerf those first and see what happens.

Do the state state the specific kill rate against SWF or are they just lumped in with Solo Queue? Do the state give details, such as if the SWF were going all out or were they playing a chill game, going for flashlight and sabo saves and not caring about gens? Do we have any of these details because if we don't, you can't say I'm blatantly wrong.

And not all Nurses, Blights and Spirits are high level players. I await your rant about survivors crying about strong killers since most killers players are higher tier players. Otherwise, if you don't like what I write, you're more than welcome to keep on moving and ignore my posts.
But yea, it's the killers asking for EZ games in a thread about wanting to nerf Blight.

I mean, he is one of the few 100% survivor speaking players on this forum. No point in interacting with him.

Blight over powering but at least he kinda fun to go up against in my opinion. Spirit is a god tier tunneler which will always feel terrible to face. I don't know why Pyramid head is consider the best tunneler when u can actually avoid his trails meanwhile spirit ZOOMING back to tunnel the unhook noisy injure survivor with blossom is damn near impossible to stop.

I find blight to be fun to go against. Otz put up a short tutorial video on how to go against blight. The most important part video is the part he talks about in 3:00-3:20. Although he makes mistake from position stand-point, that part is bread and butter to countering blight. its simply matter of denying angles and exhausting his tokens. you can do this on most round loops against blight. I still think blight is up there with gold standard for strength as far as killer are concerned.

You know I learned most of my base game knowledge from otz and his hag gameplay got me into dbd. BUT everything he said about blight was mostly wrong until this video, he lost some points from me in that regard. But if that video is souley directed at mid level players then he was pretty much spot on the entire video.
Biggest tip I can give people when playing vs blight is looking at the collision outside of the tile as that is exactly what any decent blight is playing off of.
0 -
sure I can agree with that. visually reacting where he is going to bounce and predicting his next bounce while maintaining your safe positioning is most important for facing blight. he is using loop to illustrate the depletion of tokens but generally you have to use environment objects that have no pallet to avoid his power while still maintaining the ability go get to next pallet/window from his fatigue.

Well said.

They are lumped in.
Unless Solo Q has an unbelievably low escape rate that drags down the average to 39%, SWF simply isn't OP.
2 -
I was going to comment earlier and say that I actually enjoy going against him even if i can't remember the last time I escaped a Blight game, but i literally just played against a Blight and lived. Death hook and injured, but I lived.

Hmm,
Sounds like you think that this game should be balanced around average survivor players but top tier killer players. Seems pretty biased TBH.

If you want to take the stats that have been provided by the Devs, with no details, then Nurse needs buffs and Blight is fine being at 57% kill rate.
1 -
Exactly I agree, at least with blight/nurse I can try anticipate when to avoid their power, the nurse still has her red stain even when blinking to you and blight can be avoid by doing patience curving. Spirit the queen of tunneling far worse than pyramid head.

For better accuracy ask questions. I play killer 40% of the time to get the free daily blood points and I main wesker/trickster tyvm and dont complain about them like survivors do, I see you also fail where I say I dont have a problem with blight. If anything I like him 100x more over brain dead spirit.

Please answer my question before starting a new line of inquiry.

You didn’t ask a question.

"Unless Solo Q has an unbelievably low escape rate that drags down the average to 39%"
Is Solo Q rocking a 10% escape rate and SWF a 69% escape rate?
Because the data we've been shown hasn't supported the notion that Survivor is OP.

The Devs haven’t revealed that information, have they? So we don’t really know.
Even if they did, they’d have to distinguish whether or the the players in the SWF were casual or if they were going all out and using the strongest things they can.
You can argue that a only a small percentage of SWF may be broke but because that percentage is so small, it’s not a pressing issue, and I’d counter with that same reasoning with Blight and Nurse, especially since the Devs did release their specific kill rates showing that, in general, they’re fine.

Blight and Nurse are actually pretty much unbeatable unless all 4 survivors are playing perfectly. If one goes down and the killer comes back on save, the game is over.
Those killers are so strong that they are completely unhealthy for the game.

I would say he's one of my favourites if not my favourite killer to go against very fun going against a good blight for me personally

Blight will get his nerf and I think it will be very soon and hug teching will be gutted so hope you enjoy it while it lasts

it was a year ago when the killers had eroption cob and overch and the survivors hadn't yet learned how to use the new dh
0 -
Yes, and now we have PR, PGTW and Surge with Killers like SM.
Survivors also got DH well and truly killed off, along with DS. Med-Kits are nerfed, healing is nerfed.

BHVR is ultimately responsible for leaving his insane add-ons intact for so long. I'd like to think it's because they are thinking incredibly hard about how to change them, but they make changes to synergy, that with a small amount of playtesting they would realise is going to be problematic. So I have no idea what's taking so long.
Nobody should be disrespectful to Blight players who run these loadouts though. As soon as you do that, then you are the a******.

True and real, though the blight in me wants him to stay as is...

Every blight I run into 4 or 5 gens the team I'm with. Every single one. It's not rare.

Hate to inform you that it was already said a week or two ago there are no plans to nerf blight. Only thing getting looked at is addons, and there’s no timeline on that.
Also.. I would bet hug tech is going nowhere. Sorry buddy.
