What are your problems with the game atm

For me... killer side its gen speeds. I feel they fly too fast especially on some maps where they are so big it's very difficult to maintain map pressure. It's a race to get as many out before gens get complete which often results in the need to tunnel as I don't have time to spread hooks between survivors. I tried regress perks to slow things down but the gens still fly too fast. I think either base gen speed should be slower or regress perks should be buffed.

For survivor it's matchmaking in soloq/no coms. Swf have the advantage of coms to coordinate but soloq doesn't have that so when I'm teamed up with low skill survivors and no way of telling them "don't go for save, killer is camping so just do gens" they go for the save at the wrong times and end up getting me or themselves killed. I'd love to get a heads up about a camping killer from my team mate that is on hook too. I don't think there is a solution to that other than provide coms base kit for all survivors. Maybe if the game worked on getting soloq to a similar place swf is then it would be easier to sort out game balance. As it stands its impossible to get true balance because killers need to keep you with the swf teams which means soloq players generally get stomped.

I've got one for killer, one for survivor too.

From the killer perspective: Toolboxes.

Gen speeds overall aren't bad at all, they're pretty balanced. Gen speeds when survivors bring toolboxes, though, are much worse- in the rare event that everyone's bringing a toolbox with a dedicated build, it's almost unwinnable for a huge chunk of the playerbase. Absolute nightmare item, the gen speed needs to be reworked to do something else at some point.

From the survivor perspective: Tunnelling.

There's a couple issues still present with tunnelling. It's still far too easy for how much value it can give, the tools against it should absolutely be strengthened, but more than that I take issue with the fact that a killer can tunnel someone out and still have access to strong slowdown combos in the resulting 1v3. If slowdown perks deactivated when someone died, players would be pushed towards a much healthier playstyle while still getting results and if they did tunnel, their opponents would at least have a slight chance from the fact that the regression is only going to come from gen kicks.

For survivor:

Slugging and Tunneling. Its been so bad several of my friends stopped playing DBD in general and I stopped playing survivor.

MMR: I either get the most brain dead team ever or a killer LEAGUES above my skill set and my teams.

BMing: I cant tell you how often this happens to me. Smacking on hook repeatedly, getting dry humped, etc. Like why?

For killer:

Gen speeds: if you geta team hell bent on gen rushing. The casual vibe i try to bring is just kinda dookied on.

In General:

Honestly i think the game is pretty well balanced outside of the garbage MMR system. The main issue is the player-base. Its been taken over by extremely sweaty Esports meta-slave mentality people, whose only sense of fun and validation comes form a 4k or making the killer as miserable as possible. DBD lost its casual appeal, I wish there were separate lobbies for those who are competitively obsessed so the meme lords and chill people can have their fun too.

Okay I only play survivor and solo queue because this is not the single player game I would choose. I think this game is fine you know you play it in short bursts or whatever maybe just during events. The only problem I have with this game is it's like the same thing over and over and over and I can't keep doing that. Like it was fun for a while and then the devs started making it more accessible to dilettantes and that may be the problem with games across the entire industry.

Slugging and having to face killers I absolutely despise.

I would rather face longer queues than have to face a single Twins, Trickster, Knight or SM and it is frustrating as I am expected to endure matches I don't want to play.

I am sure killers don't want to play against SWF's and I also think it should be clear when you are facing a SWF or not.

My problems with the game:

Stomp or be stomped, very strong killers like Nurse, Blight, Billy, the extreme difference of value between perks, unecessary bleed out, every game being a slog against the same killers (yesterday i got 3 Blight in a row with the exact same build and add ons ...........). The constant bugs and the game not working properly, the extreme toxic ambiance with people tbagging and killer humping you for 4 minutes straight. Survivor teaming up with the killer in a 2v1 scenario to get hatch and some more.

My points of solutions :

• Stomp or be stomped: No solutions, the game is designed this way, you would have to change the game immensly.

• Very strong killers: I feel this especially for the mobility killers, like Blight, Wesker, Billy, the only one that i think is perfectly fair and balanced is Oni. Mobility is such a pain to go against, you can't reach anything, you can't make distance, you can't finish your gen, you can't heal the unhooked because these guys laugh at the concept of distance. Facing a Ghostface and a Blight is just day and night and it's one of the most frustrating thing in the game, especially when you chain 5 or moremobility killers back to back (yesterday i did 3 Blight, 1 Billy and 2 Nurse, after that i switched game because i was frustrated to die at 5 gens under 4 regressions and endless slugging in soloQ, mmr be damned). The solutions would be to nerf their speed or up their cooldowns idk, i might be the only one to dislike them, but they feel miserable. Anti loop killer are easier for me, a mobility killer can hit me almost everytime if he does it right and you can never distance yourself from them, a deathslinger or Nemesis can't do anything when you are not in their effective range or behind cover, they will down you when they are in position to do so but they are easier to counter for me atleast.

• Perks: Nerf gen perks for both side, give side objective instead of "watch bar fill up/down" and buff other perks.

• Bugs and toxicity: Slow down the chapters and take some time to patch the game and take care of it's health.

I love this game, but it is very hard to play without descending into madness after 3 games of survivors, and it's not better with Killer. Somehow the game is frustrating on both side ( Killer when the mmr decide to obliterate you, being outmatched is normal, but sometimes it's so drastic there isn't even a match, you just get decimated) and survivors for the endless Blight with 4 gens perks and a passion for watching you lick the floor.

Simple: a majority of the playerbase.

Bloodweb spending could be faster.

Yeah, nobody likes forced mismatches, especially ones where you lose and it's beyond your control. You're just never getting the benefit of your role's strength, even though you go against it all the time.

Survivor:

I don't feel like skill is rewarded enough. Being efficient on gens and having good chases does not consistently correlate to results. Matchmaking seems to favor queue times at the expense of quality matches. I wish matchmaking was a bit less focused on engagement and more focused on quality.

Killer:

Asset collision is my biggest frustration. Map objects are often too sticky. I get stuck on a branch, or a random piece of wood sticking out from a filler tile.

The other frustration would be the sheer randomness of matchmaking. It can feel like you have to prepare for the sweatiest possible game because you have no idea what to expect from opponents one game to the next. There's very little consistency. I may only need 1 slowdown for 9 games, and that 10th game will be against a team playing like it's a tourney grand final. There's no transparency with matchmaking, and that's frustrating on both sides.

I just want Ghostface's Reveal and Lean to be fixed and be fair, and then I want him to have an addon pass and some sort of slight buff. Chaseface isn't fun, reward him for using his power.

I also lowkey think we need to simplify pipping and wins, since it's just a measure of how much you played anyway - it makes no sense to make it harder to pip in Iri than in Silver… at all. Why is it harder the more you play? Proposal:

- Pips are no longer tied to emblems or BP gain, but the categories remain - they're just unlinked and no longer matter.
- One Pip and 20k BP for participating in the round win or lose.
- Two Pips and another 10k BP on top of the above for Escaping, getting at least one Mori, or 3-4king (so winning).
- No pip and 0 BP if you DC or give up on Hook from first Hook.
- Everyone dead before a gen is done, or out before the Killer could Kill one person? 10k BP for everyone, no pip for everyone, because that wasn't a round.
- Out really fast because the Killer's a jerk? Everyone left is bots? 10k BP as an apology for having your time wasted, but no pip.
- The remaining 10k BP comes from using your power, doing stuff in the round that isn't just your objective, etc.
- Survivors and Killers earn BP at the same exact rate, Survivors don't split BP between the whole team.
- MMR gain and loss is the EXACT SAME, if you lose one round then win one round you break even. If you lose a lot of rounds you go down, and win a lot of rounds you go up, making it easier to get out of low MMR hell for Survs and high MMR hell for Killers.

There.Now nobody is upset. Everyone loves BP. This way you can't point to any excuses, because everyone gets progress and BP. Nobody can ever complain about genrush, slugging, camping, tunnelling, etc. again because no matter what, you get something.

Because that's apparently all the playerbase can handle, I guess. Ultracasual scoring as long as they get their fair BP.

Killer :

It feels like survivors still have a lot of nuclear options. Things that survivors have that are easy to use, have a high reward, and are hard to go against for the killer.

Exhaustion perks like Lithe, Overcome and Balanced Landing can buy survivors a lot of distance that wastes the killers time especially if they don't have a mobility power, and the survivor can just simply run in the opposite direction of where the gens are being done and the killer has to spend all that time walking back to those gens, which they may not be able to stop because of…

Commodious Toolboxes, Brand New Parts, Deja Vu and Resilience. These are all things that increase repair speed which reduce the opportunity the killer has to regress them and stop them from being completed. They are simply anti-game, and they force killers to tunnel and camp.

Map Offerings are also a major annoyance, they are survivor sided because 1 survivor out of 4 can bring a map offering to favour all 4 of those survivors whilst killers are 1 of 1 and can only bring one to benefit themselves. It's really not fun when survivors can load into a map of their choosing because it allows them to plan against the killer instead of embracing unpredictably and adapting on the fly. Sacrificial Wards being made common is appreciated but it's not a perfect solution because killers still want to use bloodpoint and event offerings. Survivors can also still bring 4 of the same to cancel a Sacrifical Ward anyway. Needless to say, map design is what makes this an issue in the first place. Maps that have a lot of line sight, difficult to navigate buildings, many safe pallets and vaults to be chained into allow survivors too much safety.

All these things can make the game feel competitively frustrating, where survivors are evading you in ways that feel cheap, making you feel like your skill is invalid.

I would prefer that survivors need to rely on looping well and unpredictably, hiding at the correct times, unhooking at proper times.

Survivor :

I don't play survivor much and when i do it's Solo Q. Teammates simply give up too much. It's why i usually prefer to play killer.

Survivor probably just teammates that are clearly just not doing what their supposed to. Like doing chests or totems are fine, but when you can clearly see on your HUD that some one is on hook, some one else is being chased, and then the other is on a gen, I dont think that totem or chest should be a priority

As killer, probably losing due to REALLLLYYYYYY bad RNG. Like playing Trapper without good add ons on Eyrie while theres a burrito with crystal bead in play and my cat wont leave me alone despite me literally petting him for the past hour and my grand father rushing me aince he wants me to go on a 5 hour side quest.
