Will Windows of Opportunity be nerfed too?

Adrenaline could at the very minimum use a tiny nerf to not directly counter freddy

You have to be joking if you think FTP + BU as a perk combination is balanced, it should be less effective for something you don't do anything to activate for a huge upside, at the very minimum Were gonna live forever and BU should have their targets swapped (currently WGLF only applies to the survivor who is on the ground after it becomes activated) so then you have to earn the powerful effect of the combination and the weaker version would only apply to the picked up survivor leaving you vulnerable

Background player could stand to be tuned down a bit in one of its strengths but not by too much, running 10m to fail the flashlight save then be 20m away using the rest of the effect is kind of silly so making it weaker against carrying perks by making it harder to get away or just reducing the speed a bit is reasonable. Like 4s duration of 175% speed.

All of those perks could use some amount of nerfs or changes to be healthier for the game

Not from what I can tell.

I cant imagine them needing to nerf WoO. Or even what they would do to it and still make it usable. It barely does anything super game changing as it is. And you see less and less of it the higher in MMR you go.

Just because its usage is high doesn't really mean its the greatest thing in the world or broken. I personally stopped using it around the 600ish hour mark?

It's nice to have as you cant really tell what pallets your teammate throws and it allows you to route plan a bit better/easier. But it takes up a perk slot that you could otherwise use for something else more powerful or useful, and requires survivors to just be a little bit more observant without it.

tldr; Probably not

I don't think dms should trigger with scream effects, I also think pigs boxes shouldn't reset upon screaming

I have been asking for That Solidarity, Resurgence, and Reactive healing get an anti-hemorrhage buff as well in multiple discussions and maybe even at some point made my own about it

You can't really balance the game around either side of the solo swf coin you need something in the middle because otherwise a killer with the right perks will stomp solo queue often those perks don't do anything against any coordination in teams and since you don't know who you are going against its a gamble, you can't buff it to make it good against groups and you can't nerf it to make it useless against solo queue without just deleting the perk, so if you have a balance idea by all means, the devs might be wizards but if you have a healthier design then get the ball rolling there

Ive already advocated for a system to decrease the amount of anti-gen perks killers can equip in a match most people didn't care too much then and likely now the game balance is too fickle to have it work out well with mid tier killers stacking 3-4 just so they feel the game is playable on their main. Sure high tiers can do the same but I see it much more on mid tiers, and if a high tier ends up doing it usually its because they aren't confident and you have a good shot of winning anyway, I beat a Tinkerer, BBQ, Pain res, Pop blight earlier today no problems because although they can stack it the player themselves still has to perform

I don't know why you think the fact that this one is talking about survivor nerfs that it also has to be about killer nerfs, clearly this is a specific contained issue / problem and these whole this side this and that side that just stifles discussion if you want something else to be changed then make a post saying something else should be changed or just combine them both and make a big overhaul post instead

People won't stop complaining about changes because thats just how balance works, the current issue is usually the strongest options, and being dbd it will be the strongest option for ~1-2 years and be nerfed unless its excessively broken in which case it might be changed sooner or if it fits the current direction they want the game to go like how DS DH Unbreakable were like that for 2~3 years.

Bring back the old version of WoO and you can still do the same things. But that would actually require players to think, so it's probably not an option.

WoO is not a not just a crutch for new players. People with more hours than me use it on a regular basis and I have played this game for 3 years. The funny thing is, that WoO has done a lot of damage. Slap on something to apply blindness and watch WoO enthusiasts run around like headless chicken.

next the want lockers gone, they are too OP because survivors hide in them

I like this post hahaha, it really sums up the complaining that is so prevalent these days. And the worst part is, the devs will most likely listen to this complains and nerf perks because of that when there is no reason to.

Distortion should get changed and not nerfed. I think how distortion is now it promotes unhealthy gameplay teamwise. I personally think distortion stacks should be tied to doing gens, unhooking or healing teammates. That way people actually have to participate to gameplay and not hide in corners.

Right now i see many distortion users avoid killer and team gameplay all together leaving people to die on hooks or push the chase on deathhooked people even if they have 0 hooks. Distortion is quite often combined with calm spirit and even iron will.

These people are eather death scared of seeing the killer in the game or selfish enough not to care about teammates.

Windows i think personally should have a cooldown. I see many survivors run to pallet after pallet autodropping them instantly.

My call on this one is a definitive NO, I very much doubt it will be nerfed.

The reason? Because Windows makes the game a lot more welcoming for newer players who are already overwhelmed with the sheer number of perks, status effects and even maps to keep track of.

Anything that helps BHVR gain and hopefully retain new players (customers) is not something they will be keen to get rid of

So was old bbq, but the only reason why they ultimately changed it wasnt because of complaints but because they don't like people using perks to reduce the grind

But killers are not entitled to free hook states, when you run distortion. I sure will trade hook states, because I don't play scared. But I find the fact that the killers knows exactly where you are all the time (when running 4 aura perks), also bullshit. I think a counter to that as not much to ask.

Of course there are people who play stealth, but there is nothing wrong with that too. When I play killer, I have no problem finding people who run distortion. When running aura perks as killer myself, sure, it's a bit harder, but they're not immune to you as killer.

When a perk reaches a 30% pickrate it absolutely should be nerfed, we want to see a wide variety of perks being used so no two games feel the same.
