  • I mean it's personal preference. My normal queue times are also quite long with 3-5 minutes so the jump to 10-15 minutes isn't that high and I also started doing other stuff while queuing anyways since my queues aren't instant. Also if I have an hour to play DBD I'd rather play 3 or 4 fun 2vs8 matches than 6 or 7 normal…
  • Probably the result the devs had planned for. Before the nerf these forums were full of people complaining all the time how bad it is to play against her. Since she is basically dead now there are almost no complaints in that direction anymore. The only people still complaining are the few killer players that actually…
  • I really like 2vs8 and I'm solo queuing most of the time as killer and survivor. The appeal at least for me is that 2vs8 feels way more relaxed and arcade like than the total sweatfest that are most normal games. Also for killer it's fun to get other randoms and see how they play killer and how well they harmonize with…
  • Makes sense tbh. Huntress can combo well with most other killers. It's pretty fun to snipe people that your teammate is chasing and get fast downs with that combo. Atm a lot of killer combinations just dont work very well. With huntress you at least stand a chance most of the time.
  • Some killer combinations are just so much weaker than others. A fast killer like Billy wraith or blight with something opressive but slow like huntress or nurse works very well and leads to fun and close games (at least from what I've seen) Meanwhile if you get something like huntress spirit it's more or less a stomp since…
  • Killers also get free genspeed and genrush and dont need perks to access that
  • Why should you get free anti tunnel when you can just run anti tunnel perks? Would be the same as people saying: I get blinded at least once a match so give me free lightborn or I cant find a palett so devs give me free WoO. If tunneling is such a huge problem for you and you have tools against it then use them instead of…
  • Honestly just wait and see until the gamemeode is out. Killers are heavily altered in this gamemode after all. Who knows how blight will work in 2vs8 or what changes will be made to nurse from the first time 2vs8 was live
  • What you describe has nothing to do with the player amount in General. Dbd had the highest player count of the last couple of months while 2vs8 was live. Most killer players and many survivors just took the chance to play killer with a friend since at least imo it was super fun and only available for a short time. So there…
  • I mean the MMR system seems very confused most of the time. Whenever I pick up a new killer that I have never played before I get matches against the sweatiest SWF with 10k hours each that absolutely stomp me and basically have to play myself down into a bracket that reflects my skill level on that killer. Meanwhile on my…
  • I mean gen slowdown is the only perk build that is viable in almost every game no matter the rank or skill of the survivors. Running any other build always is a risk that it could go wrong. Run oblivious build and get matched with an SWF on comms ⇒ useless, run totem build against totem cleaner perks ⇒ useless, run chase…
  • I mean as Coconut pointed out in his new Video, with the right setup with corrective action, hyperfocus and friends that run the same build, it is possible to do gens in 15 seconds with 3 people or gens in 30 seconds with 2 people. That is without iri addons or special toolboxes or even having to hit skillchecks. This…
  • Just to point that out: There are about 3-4 of these threads per week in this forum. Like Im glad if you have an experience with enough killer variety but there are apparently many other people that dont.
  • From what I can tell 90% of the outrage comes from the way this was handled by the devs. Like there was never a real aknowledgement that maybe her key design was already not really fun to play against or even as. The problem that many survivor players just outright refuse to play against her and instakill themselves or…
  • I dont think anything will change tbh. The Skull merchants numbers speak against her. She still has one of the highest kill rates in the game and the Devs have already confirmed that they nerf according to numbers. That the numbers are probably inflated cause most people just instakill themselves when they see a skull…
  • This forum in a nutshell: Survivors: Happy skull merchant is now also nerfed so hard, that noone will ever pick her and I'll never see her again Also survivors: Opening thread why they only go up against the same 4 killers all the time.
  • I think its the wrong approach. Skull merchant and Twins were always "problem killers" with very low pickrates and considered annoying to play against for different reasons which led to very many complaints about these killers everywhere. The changes to these killers just seem like an "out of sight out of mind" thing. Just…
  • Honestly I think the issue seems to be that you dont play these killers often. I took a longer break from DBD right after Xeno but was a Huntress/Plague/Meyers main before that. When I came back after Chucky release I bought every killer I was missing and started playing them for Adept. The first like 10 matches I had on…
  • Ah finally we are back in this forums anual "the game is dying" season
  • Happens every once in a while. When Im playing huntress, which is my main with like 800 hours on her, I also sometimes get survivors that have like 80 hours in the game and are completely confused about what is happening. As confirmed by the devs the mmr system values queue times more than actual skill rating. Also the…
  • Like Im pretty sure at this point that the SBMM is responsible for most problems this game is having atm. People just dont get matched in their skill bracket. KIllers that get destroyed start camping and tunneling cause they feel its the only way they have a chance and then after a while adapt that playstyle for every…
  • I second OPs opinion that killers generally should be hard nerfed. But especially wraith and pig Take away wraiths ability to uncloak and make him watch angrily as survivors do gen. Make it so that when you load in as pig you first need to actually pass a trial yourself which consists of having to solve university math…
  • I'm fine with anticamp getting a little buff but this would just be way too much for normal and way too abusable. Shouldn't be the point of anticamp to give every survivor base OTR so they can run across the map after the unhook and tank a hit for their teammate that the killer, that wasnt even camping, is chasing and all…
  • Probably Plague aka Adiris. From what I remember from her lore she never murdered or did anything evil to anyone but rather as a high priestress tried to save and help as many people as she could. When one woman got sick she even severed her own toe to make a blood offering to the gods to try and cure her. When the plague…
  • From my personal experience and collection I would assume that 99% of the DBD economy is running on feng and sable skins. Also most packs consist of a killer AND a survivor and I would also assume that a lot of people just buy the whole chapter and dont go out of their way to only buy one side. So I don't know where…
  • I mean people learn how to play against certain killers by....playing against them. Analysing how certain killers work, which strats work against them etc. is the essential part of the survivor gameplay and the more often people play against a certain killer the better they get. I think vecna has such a high kill rate…
  • Like everyone else says its a region/MMR thing. For me in EU it has been the same rythm every day since the BP incentive first came out with only a break during 2vs8. From 2am to 4pm I get 100% survivor bonus and from 4pm to 2am 100% killer bonus.
  • Well tbf I can understand his frustration to an extent since even if MMR would slowly decline if you dont play it seems absolutely confused what to do with you if you pick up a killer you never played. When I bought unknown 1 month after its release and started playing him my first 20 matches were just SWFs with like 10k…
  • I think the change away from the last person still going normally through all the hook states has less to do with a "the match is over anyways" thing but more a timeloss thing. At least from my memory when this was still a thing a lot of survivors wouldnt even try to unhook themselves (mostly out of spite I would presume)…
  • But that might honestly just be a SBMM thing. For me its not as bad as OP claims but 80% of my games are 3 or 4 man SWFS and at least 2 out of 10 games I play are good old bully squads (or survivors trying to be one). Talking 3 man Head On on Glenvale, with flashbangs and flashlights and 1 designated gen-pusher while 3…
  • Like the fact alone that almost every killer runs more or less the same build, which are the meta slowdown perks, should tell you something about the usefulness of other killer perks. Very many killer perks are also just borderline useless. Like when is the last time you have seen a killer run overwhelming presence, septic…
  • a) its not the end of the World. Its just a video game after all. And im not saying that looping the killer for such a long time and having an impact wasnt fun. Things like this are just annoying when they happen too often. b) This just Shows a large problem that solo queue is having. Most survivors only play as a team as…
  • Well they have added a lot of ambiance over the last year by putting a lot of estetic stuff like Walls, Bushes and trees everywhere. After that they now reduce the map size which is a good change at least imo. Some maps were just so big that you hat no chance of holding gens cause you couldnt get there in time. Especially…
  • Game is neither really killer or survivor sided imo. Matchmaking is having some issues is all. Im maining killer with over 2k hours on killer alone. Im not the best but im decent. the issues im noticing: Sometimes when I play my main killer I get survivors with like 100 hours that Look at me confused when they get hit When…
  • Midwich would be an obvious pick for good map, since that map consists to like 40% of lockers. Bad maps are probably the ones with big open fields like mothers dwelling or coldwind
  • In theory I would agree with you but in these last couple of days especially, map offerings have become very obnoxious at least for me. Just today I played about 80% of my games as killer on Glennvale vs good SWFs that each chose this map cause of the strong main building loop. I theoretically like this map but that doesnt…
  • Thats just not true tbh. I had a game yesterday on Thompson House where I hooked someone in House basement and afterwards went to check upstairs to break the wall and gen on the upper floor and anticamp kicked in and made the survivor in the basement unhook themselves. I even asked in endgame chat if they got unhooked or…
  • Watch ur positioning and running time. Lfs strength is obviously his insta down so you should position urself when your doing a gen, that you see him early and can at least make the next strong window so he cant instadown you. Learn pallet timing. Throw too early he instabreaks with his chainsaw, Throw to late and ur dead,…
  • I also had some questionable encounters in the last 3 weeks. A lot of survivors that just seemed to be a little bit faster than they should be and with a yellow FL with no addons that was used to blind me like 15 times. But the thing with these super subtle things is that it might just be a you thing and people aren't…
  • You cannot change the playstyle of other people just the way you deal with it. I also took a longer break from DBD after playing consistently for like 2 years and accumulating almost 2k hours. I took the break because I had a lot going on irl but actually realised a couple of weeks into my break that the point where I had…
  • Must be nice. If I try to queue for killer before evening/nighttime im more or less in 15 to 20 Minute queues.
  • I personally enjoy the DCs in loading screen if somebodys map offering got cancelled or a second map offering was burnt and now there is a chance they dont get the map they want. Most fun in this game I had in a while
  • Yeah I see it the same way but apparently the survivors that play this way mostly dont (according to many endgame chats I had when facing this combo) Ur just supposed to eat the DS and take the unnecessary timeloss that is more or less forced on you since you didnt even tunnel and then after you got hit, go chase another…
  • Umbra another huge ex-huntress streamer also quit playing her for similar reasons. She said that nowadays huntress gameplay mostly boils down to pallet showdowns since most new or reworked maps hardly allow for long or even cross map shots. Just having each match be multiple pallet showdons is boring and frustrating for…
  • Yeah I totally understand that and dont per se have a problem with survivors trying to make DS work even though the killer doesnt even tunnel them. Waste of a perk slot as you said. What Im suprised about is how many people that run this combo and play like this, and waste your time by baiting their DS and hitting you with…
  • Objectively: maybe 20% of the games people get hard tunneled out before the match really starts. subjectively: 90% of the games someone gets tunneled.
  • Multiple reasons I would think. Camping is one of the easiest ways to get kills and hooks cause the worst thing that could happen is to trade. As we all know since a certain event kills=skill so people are in that definition winning like that. Then there is the them vs us component that drives a suprising amount of people…
  • For me she is like nurse. When u first pick her up you can see her potential and how good she could be. But u cant make her work without first putting many hours into learning to play her Then again with how current DBD is ( broken mmr system, tocicity etc ) its not exactly fun to learn a killer that needs this much…
  • he let her escape in the end after she had pointed out where we all were
  • feel like there are more hackers around again. Had a guy that I hooked fly out through the exit gate and afterwards ddos the server when all survivors were out so I didnt get any points. I know thats what they did cause they added me afterwards on steam to boast about it. Still find it weird that anticheat apprently doesnt…
