Sure. Thing is - that was reworked. And the reworked version while it might have been a little too strong was totally fine to play against, especially after the anti 3gen mechanics were added in. So…it's okay to gut a killer because people have a grudge based on an incarnation of the killer that no longer exists? Again -…
-
You genuinely think gutting a killer and leaving them in a deliberately non-viable state expressly to stop people playing that killer as some sort of community scapegoat is appropriate, especially when you've sold cosmetics for that killer - rather than simply tweaking that killer…? I'm hopeful that you didn't put that…

BO is only really a problem when combined with other perks on specific maps. There are (I think) two remaining spots where you can make yourself completely unhookable. Knock Out is a horrible perk in solo queue. But I fortunately almost never see it.
-
Yeah that's the one I'm thinking of then. Different era of the game, tricks for avoiding crows weren't as widely known. This was also the era of 'survivors placing themselves on inaccessible terrain to take the game hostage is against the rules but we're not banning anyone for it' Mandy posting if I recall. But that's…
-
Teabagging or just waiting in the exit gates is pretty universal BM. You're going out of your way to waste the killer's time in order to rub a victory in and gloat. Again, go ahead and document it for yourself. Take BMing killers (hitting on hook, bleeding out etc.), multiply that number by 4. Compare this number to how…
-
I'm using 'meme' in the original way, not the colloquial one. A self propagating phenomenon within culture. It's why crouching repeatedly is a fairly universal way of being BM. It's a meme. Not in the 'picture plus text' internet way. Again, no hypothetical is perfect. So fine, since you're just going to keep attacking the…
-
When are those from? I'm not even sure if Peanits understands the problem (abusing certain mechanics to avoid crows). My point is that clearly nobody is getting banned for this. I'm saying that I reported this specific group twice and they clearly do this a lot without ever being banned for it.
-
And speaking of perks that should have been reworked forever ago…
-
DbD is more balanced now than it ever has been, with a few outliers like Nurse and Blight excepted. The problem is that the game isn't and cannot be balanced around solo queue, because otherwise SWFs become unbeatable. I'll disagree with this completely. Even accounting for there being 4x as many, survivors are far more…
-
I see a lot of survivors go AFK nowadays rather than suicide, especially when they get rescued when trying. Regardless, that's neither here nor there. Let's say SM was prenerf Blight levels of OP. Why not simply adjust her kit a bit, rather than setting out to deliberately make her all but unplayable? That's the issue -…
-
Where was it confirmed? AFAIK aside from one BHVR quote, I haven't heard anything. This was a team with a full stealth setup who hid from the start. One literally has 'DbD hide and seek professional' in their Steam profile. All have Cyrillic names and I think one is a TTV. Never banned. I can find anecdotes of people…
-
Easy enough. Stealthy Hag you don't see until she jumpscares you. Forces players to run around in the woods until she does. Addons: Rusty Shackles, Locust. Perks: Plaything, Pentimento, Monitor & Abuse, Knockout.
-
Hardly absurd. Let's say someone with a massive platform like Hens or Ayrun decided to do this. It always propagates from there. But address the hypothetical rather than deflecting. Assume that a meme started where people decided that they didn't like playing against Artist. Forget the specifics. A case where a killer that…
-
Nobody has ever been banned for avoiding AFK crows and hiding. The BHVR claim that it's bannable was either erroneous or outdated. I've never found a single example of one, even anecdotal. I've also run into the same trio who claim they do it almost every game (and come in with builds specifically for it) multiple times…
-
I play with friends. Killers with any sort of instadown ability can slug you basically forever with zero counterplay if they are halfway intelligent.
-
What? The issue isn't really a matter of power level. It's that a change was made, with zero testing or feedback permitted, that made him pre 'rework' Twins levels of clunky to play. Then, when asked about it, BHVR basically said 'lol sucks to be you, maybe take the hint and play another killer. Not open to feedback on…
-
No. But what if they did? What if some streamer decided to start a meme where people just mass DC and suicide against Artist? Would that justify gutting Artist in expectation of some nebulous 'we'll fix her in a few years haha just don't play her for a while' statement? Because if not, how was it justified for SM? Freddy…
-
I see it at least once every few days, sometimes multiple times a day. Sometimes it's hiding for hatch, sometimes it's hiding to BM or just to grief. The problem is that there are ways to avoid AFK crows completely, these have been around forever and they either cannot or have no interest in fixing. I've had people do this…
-
Last game was the only lost game without teabagging and BM. I'm saying that after a certain amount of BM, I will play harder. My point is that I see a lot of 'killers are sweaty this event' and I have to wonder how many are killers that were a bit more chill, got tired of the BM and decided that it's better to get called…
-
Rubbish. I see this maybe 10% of the time, maximum. Yes it's a problem, but you're exaggerating. Also - if we're talking wasting time, survivors can hide and avoid AFK crows to stall the game out for 20 minutes or more and it's not even on BHVR's radar. Alright. So are we going to increase killer speed proportional to how…
-
To me, playing chill = do your objective but also be mindful of the event and fun of the other side. Interact with snowmen. Run some silly perks. Let people get a bit of BP before you kill them. Not a whataboutism, but I think survivors being able to permanently avoid AFK crows is a way bigger problem. At worst, bleedouts…
-
Thing is - was this organic? Because I don't think there's anything particularly annoying about SM that isn't more true of other killers. Or was it a forced meme that got out of hand? Regardless, it does indeed set a crap precedent. Because now people know that they have the power to force BHVR to completely trash killers…
-
I see just as many survivors playing hide and seek for 10+ minutes because someone MUST get hatch. I care. Bleedouts suck. I'll only do it when there's a very BM survivor or team.
-
When I say I want to play chill it's more I want room to fool around without getting crushed. I don't mind losing, but stomps are zero fun. Problem is that I can either come in loaded for bear or there's a better than even chance that I've lost the second I clicked ready. You aren't going to beat a team that is on the ball…
-
When I started out, probably Hag. Then Pinhead came out and I mained him for a while. Then Artist. Moved to Skull Merchant after her rework. Mained Skull Merchant for maybe six months, before they gutted her. I still think she was mostly a meme to hate on rather than OP. Back to Artist.
-
I'm fine with losing, mostly. It's the endless BM that eventually gets under my skin. Killers can be irritating in their own way too, but aside from the very occasional 4 man bleedout moron it's pretty mild. And that will get fixed sooner than later. Survivors on the other hand - even by the law of averages, maybe 25% of…
-
Before it was changed BBQ was the most common killer perk AFAIK and it had nothing to do with the auras.
-
I'll happily admit I was wrong about Haunted and BF but Lullaby is trash.
-
BP perks are cute in theory but in reality feel far too mandatory and mean that you're effectively playing with 1 less slot available.
-
I play both sides about equally. Four little tricks I've discovered that I've found effective, or at least fun - although I wouldn't try all of them in serious matches. Killer: Franklins + Weave Attunement is a bit weak now but combined with Insidious (or any sort of undetectable killer)…whack survivor, break off chase,…
-
If you lost in 2 seconds you were facing a hacker.
-
Niche, mid, very mid, incredibly mid. BF works well on some survivors but smart folks know how to play around it. It is a godsend on Game at least. There's a reason BF is not and has never been meta. The rest of these are kind of a fart. And yet you never see it in any sort of top level or tourney play, even where other…
-
Name two totems that are high reward without mentioning Devour.
-
Huh. When?
-
Love the snowmen (when they don't block me in somewhere), but BP is barely more than regular play.
-
Yes. I can also make up things to post on the internet.
-
Both sides honestly need a concede option.
-
I got trapped by one last night on survivor for long enough to get an AFK crow.
-
It's a bug. It'll be fixed. It's not P2W. It's a huge advantage and completely breaks certain killers (Spirit).
-
It's a pattern. Maybe a bigger pattern but a pattern nonetheless. Survivors don't like a killer. Survivors complain. Killer is nuked from orbit or denied really positive changes often followed by a lot of gloating on the forums. Now sure killers do the same, but it's one thing to nerf MFT and another thing to nerf an…
-
It falls into the same domain of 'really bad precedent' honestly. Twins might even have it worse, as now that their rework was cancelled it'll probably never, ever happen while at least SM mains can hope for a rework in 2027 or something. I'm sure all Freddy mains are worried as hell right now.
-
Because rather than seeing how it played out on live, the Twins rework was almost completely reverted in favor of some mild QOL changes. Addons were left untouched as some of the worst in the entire game. Then most of the big QOL changes were at least partially reverted. It's not the Skull Merchant nerfs but close enough…

She's B tier at best. This is a skill issue, sorry to say.
