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

I feel like SM (Skully) giving the developers a complete headache.

Guys no offence to SM players at all.

I just think that… This killer… Is just taking too much of a dev's time. How many times she got reworked, nerfed, buffed, reworked, nerfed again in a short period of time?

I'm so sorry pips, but whoever was involved in developing this killer - just created a disaster. Like… How much time the dev's spent developing this killer and how much time they are using to adjust her…

It feels like this killer was rushed as heck, wasn't given a lot of thought on the PTB and was thrown into main game. Idk how did that happen.

I just hope for no new killers like her tbh - again no offence to SM players - not your fault at all. But I want the devs to work on other things that needs to be changed.

And after recent patch info - people are not happy again… So I guess… SM is going to steal more of the devs time again…

    I can't take these changes seriously, it just doesn't make sence even from objective view point.

    How can someone seriously think, Killer that isn't even in top 10 strongest (excluding stats of course but all stast need to be taken with causion), you can just absolutely nuke her main power, no compensation, no some this nerf this buff, just all total nuclear red button and call it fine. Did anyone at the team deciding or making this even consider this is just overkill?

    Only thing that explains this that by desing they decided to just trow her to the ocean and leave her rot at the bottom until 2025 rework so people stop hating and leaving matches againts her.

    Twins and SM ended up being disastrous in all aspects. Poor Trapper and Freddy had been on the backlog too long and these two get all the attention before either getting a bad reception anyway or dropping them all together.

    Twins rework was a mess. SM rework was a mess. This balance fiesta between these two are annoying.

    To be fair, ever since the most recent rework, it's not as though it's the developer's fault she's been a headache. That's squarely on the community, and I don't envy anyone in BHVR's position there.

    Though, that doesn't excuse these absolutely horrific pitched changes lol

    Even this is awfull. You either keep the hindred or remove the haste or give her something extra in chase, otherwise she is just awfully slow legion.

    They need to get away about SM, working on the other, and going back with a new full idea

    They can make her interesting, but it seems they want to work on her with what she have, they don't want to make new action, new gameplay with her and I dunno why, but someday, the dev who work on her gonna make a burnout

    I'm still confused are they still re-reworking her? Like are these changes supposed to be here until that re-rework or are they not touching her again?

    SM as she is on live is a balanced killer. She doesn't need the changes they are proposing or really much of any changes at all.

    Most of Skully's problems have been ironed out now, she can't take the game hostage anymore and her drones were reworked to be more chase oriented. Issue is now is that they nerfed the hinder (which is fine), removed the haste completely (not great), and even removed one of the drone scanlines (????????). So what does that make her now? An infinitely worse legion? I know BHVR has been pretty good on balance changes in the past but these just feel like flat out appeasement which I've said before, is an incredibly bad thing because it only emboldens players to continue bad behaviour and sacrifice themselves on hooks against killers they don't like in protest.
