Vecna PTB day is coming
Ah, Vecna PTB day is coming soon! I can’t wait to see the classic BHVR DLC release SOP one more time:
- Release weak PTB killer to lower expectations.
- Mega-buff for Live release so he destroys everyone.
- Wait for everyone to buy the DLC.
- Gut him with nerfs 4 weeks later so he joins Springtrap's party
Also, shoutout to the new Survivor perks for being absolutely useless on arrival.

Tale as old as time. Glad someone is calling them out on it.

…Can you give more than one example of the devs doing this even semi recently?

Ah I see the classic DBD community SOP of getting worked up over things that haven’t even happened yet has started..

Ironically wasnt krasue this? Or is that the joke of "more than one"?

There's no joke here, it's just not a pattern.
Krasue is the killer who got nerfed the most recently, so I guess you could count her, but even considering that… who else? In order of release going backwards:
- Springtrap hasn't seen any balance changes
- Ghoul received nerfs but is still really good
- Houndmaster received mostly buffs after release (and also doesn't fit the first part of the order of events, she released borderline non-functional)
- Dracula received buffs immediately after release and a mixture of buffs and nerfs afterwards
- Lich got a small nerf after release and then a mixture
- Unknown's only received buffs
- Chucky counts? I guess?
But at that point, if we count Krasue as part of this supposed pattern, there's a gap of two years and six killers between them.
I see this take pop up occasionally and it's never made sense to me. This just isn't how killer releases go.

I couldn't even give you any example at all unless we count abominations such as release Legion. Chucky was stupidly strong and got nerfed into a decently strong killer, HM got nothing but buffs, she's simply held back by the spaghetti code and Krasue is still a ridiculously strong killer against the vast majority of players. Meanwhile, a certain anime boy is still waiting for his well-deserved sizeable nerf.

I can tell you that he is already an absolut monster, I don't believe that he will release with that strength. Of course people simply don't know the counterplay yet (which will be similar to nurse probably), but it's safe to assume that he will still be strong then in his current state.

PTB Vecna has literally no Counterplay at all… his m2 is a frontal circle that can be placed at a distance and his ctrl is such a big circle that you cant even run away from when he uses it.
so where is the counterplay? because you cant body block thats for sure.
so sick and tired of survivors getting nothing. they dont want to buff Fog Vials obviously so that garbage stays in the bloodweb. key/maps are trash since update. dont even get me started on a bunch of addons that are basically worthless and dont want to remake to be more fun.

did you have this post pre baked in the oven? because the survivor perks don't look that terrible.
