Feedback Regarding Game Modifiers & Slugging - Insta-Mories or Unbreakable Base Kit?
Slugging is definitely a hot topic in DBD, I recognize that: it’s unfun on the receiving end, but there are definite strategies and reasons to do so in practical use in normal matches.
However, in the new My Little Oni April Fool’s game mode, half of the matches I played as Survivor, I got slugged to death by killers that were determined to 4K every match. As they put it, “It’s the only way to 4K in this game mode!”
I was on the ground longer than the match was even supposed to be in duration for half of my matches!
In a game mode as so unserious as this, fast-paced fun is the intention, where being downed means instant death with a .3-second-long-mori, there is absolutely no strategic advantage or practical reason to slug Survivors.
For future game modes such as this, where being downed should result in instant death, please consider:
- Either transition the killer from the down into mori’ing the Survivor instantly, don’t make it an option that they can walk away from
- Or give Survivors base kit Unbreakable
- Make Survivors (near) instantly bleed out when downed
These options will propel the momentum of silly and more casual-oriented game modes forward, and also discourage or prevent undesirable playstyles.
There’s no reason to slug in these instant-death game modes other than intentionally griefing other players’ experience, so please consider preventing this kind of playstyle in Modifiers where it is not relevant, for example in My Little Oni or a prop hunt-style game mode, etc.

Genuinely don't understand why people are taking a meme gamemode seriously to begin with to make the other side miserable. At least sweat in regular DBD or something. Insta-kill quick play gamemodes should for sure give survivors baseline Unbreakable.

Because this is Dead by Daylight and some Dead by Daylight players are out to completely ruin it for everyone else.
