Can people understand what is "asymetrical"

Its a lot more complicated then just one side needs to be stronger both sides needs to be appealing to play. Currently I argue survivour is lacking in gameplay depth. Very few objectives with little nuances. Unlike killer which has additional mechanics that massively vary there playstyle.

Killers playstyle that vary from anti loop tend to be horribly crushed and makes many games play out the same way. (assuming all players are on equal skill level.) Most modern big hit multiplayer games try to shake up the meta so to keep the game fresh and dbd slow gradual focus to balancing around meta play leads to samey gameplay.

Its gotten to a stage where I look at post game lobby and every survivour is running the same build adrenaline, exhaustion perk, self care and a variable 4th perk. Asymetrical games always struggled due to the nature of keeping both sides fun since the power role is often prefered.

Survivours simply needs another objective and take focus off gens maybe when live servers come around we can test new game modes but until then i guess well have to keep focus on balancing this stagnant meta.

@Eveline There's plenty of situations in the game that scares me, but you really only get scared by something once or twice. By your fifth time of dealing with Devour Hope for instance, it's just another thing to push against and decide what you're going to do against. Even in other games, you can find humorous or amusing things from the killers or monsters. Some people use humor to cope with certain things and I think it's related to that.

It is an asymmetrical game. A good killer (especially a Nurse or Spirit) will typically win most of their rounds because they are highly powerful killers.

Asymmetrical means that the one power role is equal to the four non-power roles. If the four non-power roles work as a cohesive unit, they will stand a much better chance of winning the match. Four good players will more than likely have at least one escape except in the case of it being one of the top tier killers and the player is really good at that specific killer.

Other factors come into play as well such as how good the player is at a certain killer, the map, how good the survivors are at loops, etc...sometimes we all have potato rounds and it doesn’t end up in our favor and that’s okay. You’re not meant to get a 4K nor escape every single round. I’m very good with Spirit and sometimes I kill all four with five gens left and even sometimes all four escape through the exit gate. I’m not gonna be butthurt about it and complain that the survivors were OP.

There is also a thing called balance. Killers can’t be TOO powerful or the survivors would stance no chance at all. The game is in a better state now than it has ever been balance wise.

In other words, individual survivors have the power to make chasing them (something that's supposed to be dangerous for the survivor) a losing action for the killer. Thanks for proving his point.

Being chased by the killer is supposed to be dangerous for the survivor. The killer is supposed to be a threat. Survivors should never be able to get into a situation where the least ######### move for the killer is to just ignore them.

So we've gone from "the game is balanced" to "the game". Thank you for acknowledging you have no argument whatsoever.

If the Huntress needs six hatchets, odds are she's not very good at hitting them. I'd say that falls under "mild inconvenience" at best.

Being chased is not dangerous if you know how to loop.

It is dangerous to get in a chase with a killer if the player is great with that killer. Get into a chase with a good Nurse or Spirit and tell me how long you last.

You can’t expect every survivor is going to be braindead and go down easily. Some actually lose the killer and break line of sight and some are just very good at surviving. A mediocre killer will get looped till daylight by an excellent survivor because the survivor is simply better. This goes both ways. An excellent killer will destroy a mediocre team easily.

One thing I will say is that the gens get done WAY too fast. If the generator progression wasn’t as fast then it would help a lot of issues with games going too fast.

You will not always 4K nor escape every round. It’s a PVP game. Have fun and stop complaining about you. This isn’t directed directly toward you, it’s just a general statement.

Some map layouts just suck my dude. The designs are flawed and very loopable.

Some loops need a serious rework. Of course survivors are gonna have an advantage on the Ironworks loop, Red Forest house, the barn on Coldwind, and ESPECIALLY the Mount Ormond house. I’m not disagreeing with that. Those loops need to be reworked because it is ridiculous on how easy it is to loop killers that aren’t named Nurse.

It’s not an issue of survivors having an ego about being superior. Certain loops are WAY too strong, but do you expect a survivor to go to a strong loop or out in the middle of nowhere? It’s stupid to think survivors aren’t gonna use the loops to their advantage.

A survivor will only win depending on the killer. If you’re facing off against an excellent Nurse, Spirit, Billy, or even Hag then you are pretty much screwed.

For this game to be properly balanced, both sides should be equal. BOTH SIDES should be EQUAL. Not that the Killer role should be equal to the survivor role, but that the Killer role should be equal to the four survivors. To make One Survivor Equal to the One Killer horribly skews the balance to this game. One single Survivor should not be able to loop the killer for an entire game.
