Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

Killer nerfs needed asap. Removed fog vial lets talk about the OP killers right now.

1 - Clown. Makes nonsense to me to buff his haste that heavily. You cannot out run him. Every match dead at 5 gens. Not really fun for survivors.

2 - Bubba - how come we got an update so he can’t just instant down you (I’m guessing base kit borrowed time) but yet bubbas are still out here in the fog blowing thru the borrowed time just to instant down you again right after hook. Again, no fun for survivor.


3 - Springtrap - can we at least give a cooldown or make it longer for the hatchets. Another killer with no way to defend yourself unless you run a specific build. Again, no fun for survivor.

That’s just my rant. Don’t understand how these issues are still going on with these killers. Fog vials were nerfed within days. (In my experience they weren’t really that effective when playing killer already - I never lost chase - don’t understand why everyone was upset)

Player base is going down. The killers are playing like their lives depend on it. I get it play the game but why try your best to always make survivors games the worst. It’s not fun waiting in a queue just to get tunneled out and back to the lobby. Please bring that anti tunnel update asap. Or just get rid of the griefers who are making the game unbearable to play. Not saying I want killers to be nice. Just seems like an increase of newbies so we are seeing people who don’t know how to play the game just tunneling people out of the trial.


I really wish we could see some Devs stats. How many times they escaped as a survivor. How many times they played survivor. I get dbd is DEAD by daylight but you can’t even play the game? Can’t even touch a gen? I just don’t think this is the way the game was supposed to be designed but that’s how these players are playing.

I honestly just accept my fate that I will get out of no matches, especially in solo queue.

Just my thoughts and suggestions.

    All the killers you mentioned are ok and don't need any nerfs. Actually, Bubba needs some buffs.

    Bubba is literally one of the easier killers in the game to loop. I love going against Bubba. He has no power whatsoever other than the instadown. Even if he’s tunneling and camping, as long as the rest of the team stays on gens, he’s going to get just that one tunnel kill.

    Springtrap is fine. I’ve had no trouble escaping against him compared to any other killer.

    I will agree that new Clown is obnoxious and boring. I hope the devs make adjustments.

    Why do you need to see the devs’ escape rate stats? They’ve published the overall escape rate stats for all players recently: 40%, and closer to 45% if you play in a 4-man SWF. My average escape rate is 43%. I’m totally fine with that. It is a horror game after all - escaping shouldn’t be guaranteed or easy.

    If you’re new and struggling, the answer isn’t to demand killer nerfs. Watch videos of other good survivors, instructional videos from content creators, and just play more in general. You’ll get there. I’m by no means a skilled video game player and I don’t have time to play hours a day. If I can do it, anyone can.

    whilst i agree bhvr loves to take their time addressing killer problems and applies hotfixes weeks after updates for surv, bubba and springtrap are below a-tier killers and are easy to loop if you know what your doing. clown is abysmal. just insta dc and save yourself the trouble.

    bubba and springtrap obviously have their issues when it comes to stuff like basement camping, but they're fine and defo give survs the opportunity to loop for 5 gens if they're good enough.

    clown needs kill switched, either that or they just let them plague the game like they did with skull merchant and kaneki. they kills witched a surv vault perk for godsake. xd
