Get rid of struggle

This is the best way to go about it IMO. Makes it so you have to deliberately stop struggling instead of accidentally doing it because it was tedious keeping it going.

I agree. The needless button mashing should go away. It would be fascinating to know how many survivors have died on accident because of this mechanic.

Press,press gets you killed because you aren’t clicking fast enough. Someone should die on the hook because their thumb hurts/gets tired? No.

If killers had a similar feature that ended the game for them if their thumb got tired/hurt would you feel the same?

They definitely need to remove this ASAP. People have been asking for this forever and there really is no good defense for it to still be in the game.

Its exactly like the flashlight blind situation. The reason they changed the blinding VFX is because even though the killer is being blinded in-game, the player shouldn’t be blinded irl. Same goes for struggling: just because your character is struggling in-game, you shouldn’t have to struggle irl. It gets painful after awhile and ruins people’s keyboards and controllers if you play long enough. It adds nothing of value gameplay wise and is a super easy change. Devs, please change it already!

Or you know, the devs could fix the problem instead of relying on players to fix it for them. Also console players.

I'm amazed that so many people are telling us to rebind keys to make it better.

In case you (the defenders of butting mashing) hadn't realised, you're literally defending bad game design that hinders people with physical disabilities. It should be on the devs to change their game and make it more accessible to disabled persons, rather than making the responsibility fall on the players' shoulders.

Besides which, what makes you think that spamming a mousewheel scroll is better than mashing a key? Joint problems / arthritis don't care whether you're tapping something or rolling it, it's still gonna hurt and hinder.

It's BHVR Interactive's responsibility to make their game accessible, and they can start by removing button-mashing.

Repeatedly pressing the same button over and over tends to be frowned upon when it happens too frequently, yes. It's supposed to be interactive, but there's nothing strategic or particularly fun about it. It's just "keep doing this one monotonous/boring thing or die." Better to do nothing while hopefully waiting to not die than to do something tedious at best and frustrating at worst so that hopefully you don't die.

I guess at least 70% of every active dbd player wants struggle to happen automatically. Sometimes I'm feeling it in my thumb, too btw. Stupid mechanic. Completely unnecessary and outdated.

I have issues with my tendons and I sometimes have to let go because it hurts. That’s why I can’t enjoy fighting games, let alone hack’n’slash or any of those adventures games where you fight 1000 guys at the same time (Spiderman for example)

I think you people forget this game is not all about PC. There are consoles too.

As someone who has recently developed carpel tunnel syndrome, I’d be in favor of this.

This has to be a joke. Someone killing themselves on hook is far more "inconvenient" to the survivor team than the killer team. You take a hit to points if someone let's go and most of the people who do this are just sandbagging their team. Most of the time they wouldn't do anything useful if that's what you're afraid of and stops a situation where someone gives up and sandbags the team. It's essentially DCing without all the points. Why in the world would you be against this? You get EXTRA hooks. More points from someone who doesn't care to stay, anyway. AND it helps people who have issues with pressing the same button repeatedly. It's called wear and tear, no matter how gentle you are. You continue to rub something, you'll rub it off. If you continue to press something, you'll break it. And some people have carpal tunnel. There isn't a downside.
