Slugging Problem

Hey team, if you haven't seen it here then it is all over tiktok. The new updates has caused a major slugging problem and it is literally sucking all the fun out of dbd. As a killer I'm not keen on getting kills this way, and as a survivor this is such a dumb end to what could be really good sessions.

Please review, adapt and listen to the chatter - do something about the slugging problem.

Also, killer hitboxes are a joke - there's enough proof on TikTok in slo-mo, to warrant nerfing the size of them.

    The hitboxes for killers isn't the issue. Its the latency that killer or survivor is experiencing.

    The huntress hatchet hit box definitely needs to be addressed, it so bad that its become a meme. If death slinger hitboxes can be accurate enough to shoot through tiny holes….they can make the hatchet a bit better.

    And yeah the slugging has been off the walls lately. Honestly the whole mentality of a lot of killer mains has switched to the "Im not responsible for your fun" way of thinking. A lot more people have this competitive mindset where the 4k is necessary or they'll lose their house. Personally I just let the last dude go most of the time. But I also don't care about winning, only having fun.

    Slugging is a problem and anyone who says otherwise is ignorant.

    This slugging, camping and face camping thing is really a hot debate, especially when people post videos on TikTok complaining about being treated that way. I understand that it can be frustrating, but I honestly think people forget what it's like to play as a killer and constantly have to deal with provocations from survivors. For example, I was playing as The Shape yesterday and there were several survivors who both t-bagged and blinded me repeatedly. And the funny thing is that afterwards they complained about me tunneling and camping - which made me laugh because they had created the situation all by themselves. If they don't like my playstyle, then they always have the option to DC. I don't force anyone to play against me.

    And speaking of hitboxes, it's really something that could use an update. As a survivor, I have also experienced being hit, even though I was clearly a few meters away from the killer. So there are definitely improvements that could be made, but making it a war between survivors and killers doesn't help anyone. The TikTok videos, where people upload clips of their "unfair" experiences, only give a one-sided picture. Mostly it's just butthurt and angry people who don't show the full context. We have to remember that this is a game and everyone has different ways of playing. It's impossible to please everyone, so maybe we should focus less on the TikTok drama and more on having fun in the game itself. :)

    Use anti slug perks like no mither or unbreakable

    Combine it with soul guard to get endurance

    Ah, tiktok. Lots of worthy discourse on there.

    I've already resigned myself to basekit unbreakable from this tantrum. They got base BT(an excellent change) anti face camp(not a bad change) three gen system ( flawed but could be worse) and now, in the face of hard numbers, they'll tantrum about slugging to gaslight the community until base unbreakable happens. Yet another thing for killers to juggle.
