The second iteration of 2v8 is now LIVE - find out more information here: https://forums.bhvr.com/dead-by-daylight/kb/articles/480-2v8-developer-update

thank you for being a nerf of the Spirit for the second time and you FORGET about BLIGHT

I can't believe how much longer they're going to ignore Blight? why do they nerf a Spirit addon that requires a lot of skill? she doesn't have many cool addons and the ring was one of them. I mean, I haven't played every match with the ring, but the fact that the Spirit is again nerfed and the most broken killer is ignored... I have no words, I won't play this anymore.

    I rarely ever see spirit, while there’s been a bargain sale on Blights ever since his release. Not sure why he keeps getting a pass when he’s currently the strongest killer in the game.

    Spirit=Blight>Nurse when it came to the best add-ons being used.

    Old yellow duration made her go to 1:2.5 with power and increased her total duration to 6 seconds.

    New yellow recharge makes her go to 1:2.3

    So at the end of the day they only really hit her strongest build. Blight is right there in power but I would guess they are looking to do more then some number changes for him. So it would either Spirit and Blight with double nerfs or Spirit and Sadako buffs. Personally I prefer the latter.

    Can't do everything all at once.

    The nerfs to Spirit were well placed nerfs that makes her much more fair, in line with community feedback. BHVR are clearly listening to the community, but they have to filter out the whine and salt from the genuine feedback.

    I've seen numerous threads already complaining about Sadako and Spirit changes, even though a lot of these changes are healthy and solid changes.

    Blight is the next real big one and must be on their radar, of that I have little doubt.

    P.S. before anyone starts slapping me about Sadako, the fact survivors using tapes on TVs disables her power for a longer duration than her own teleport cd does is a great change... currently you just ignore tapes completely, because why would you ever grab them? Why the hell that wasn't a thing to begin with is beyond me.

    MDR and skill do not belong in the same sentence.

    His add-ons are the problem (I think most people agree) . Base kit Blight is great, being able to be a bouncing pinball is hella fun and there's still a lot of outplay potential. Hope they address him the right way.

    But yea, pretty shocking he's escaped any nerfs up to this point (probably will be another few months minimum)

    Brand new part nerfs are a good start, no longer getting the huge returns on that.

    They are nerfing PT, whether PT was a problem perk or not is hard to say, but I think it may well have been, as one player taking it in a swf and organising with your teammates to ensure the teams gets max value from it is what sweat teams do.

    They also increased gen timers to 90% in previous patches, and Killers have a lot of perks available to assist vs. Gen rush.

    So yeah, I'd say that have been/already are combating sweaty gen rush teams.

    Perhaps they want 1-2 killers that have a chance against strong SWFs? Would not be unfair.

    That's pretty much the plan but they'll whine saying not every team is SWF. Let's address how only 3 killers can compete at the top.


    Nurse

    Blight

    Wesker

    I know the reason

    On console Blight and Nurse weak, so they get away being broken

    But Spirit is good even on console

    I mean, the "not every team is SWF" is indeed true, most people play dbd in soloQ that's why changes like the new HUD had to be made.

    I dont have the numbers here but i remember the devs actually saying that 4man swf were less than 20% of the entire survivor playerbase. And not every 4man squad plays like a seal team so that number gets reduced even futher.

    Or do you actually believe an average killer goes against comp tournament like SWF everyday?
