Nobody likes delays though, just announce the release date later just in case things come up. Even at a 5 Star restaurant if my meal is taking a long time I start wondering what’s going on.
-
They definitely changed freddy a week after he came out cause people cried nerf. That was a bad decision.
-
Ah that was the term I was looking for, gatekeeping. Yeah if you do this, stop. There’s no reason for it.
-
Good lawd, you can learn from mistakes. Be a very good player and still notice blatant balance issues and design flaws. There’s nothing wrong with bringing them up here, it’s what a forum is for. It’s not one or the other, but it makes sense people want to think this way since humans are so naturally inclined towards…
-
Adding to that, there are nasty players who attack the developers when they don’t get their way but they’re far from the majority. Most of us try to be constructive with our criticism, but too often I see it confused for hate.
-
One of the best perks in the game, it actually reverses survivor progress instead of merely slowing it down.
-
Huh? How does nerfing strong killers make the others more viable? That’s absurd. You have it backwards, if they buffed everyone to say Spirits level then it would be fine. If everyone’s “OP” no one is. BHVR’s expressed no interest in changing generator speed far as I’m aware.
-
Sounds like your teammates are baddies if that worked. I’ve only experienced a 4 man slug once against a Michael Myers when I first started playing.
-
^Good advice Sometimes it’s just luck also OP, I’ve had days where I’m constantly found first. But I’m one of the players who likes being chased.
-
You have to have him in the center of your screen for a few seconds. Sometimes just accept you wont reveal him, no reason to get downed just because you tried to reveal him.
-
Love/hate relationship. It’s a really good game so the flaws stand out more.
-
”OMG soooo boring to play against”! Translation: I can’t win against this consistently so it’s boring. I feel bad for BHVR, they try to design a unique killer and entitled players whine.
-
I don’t agree with the Nurse nerf but saying she’s not that strong is hilarious.
-
They’re dedicating two of four perks to one purpose, it’s fine.
-
If they have hard data then why do they make so many obvious mistakes, like nerfing Freddy a week after release, releasing Mettle of Man busted as it was, Either the data is flawed or they’re listening to the wrong feedback sometimes. If BHVR’s hiring I’ll take the job, that’s my area of expertise.
-
I remember multiple fog whisperers and prominent youtubers saying Ghost Face was fine and BHVR changed him anyway. It’s not hard to differentiate between players who know what they’re talking about and those who don’t, listen to the one’s who do. It’s simple.
-
I’ll have to wait until after rank reset to get the Pigs adept, keep running into 4 man SWF with stacked perks and items. I’m rank 10 atm, survivors are too good and I’m not good enough with Pig to defeat optimal squads.
-
Yet another example of nerfs not actually changing the game in a meaningful/good way. Nurse was the same for years but now they nerf here cause survivors suddenly were complaining en masse. Same with killers and Decisive Strike, it was nerfed yet it’s still a widely used meta perk. Mettle of Man nerf “worked” but now it’s…
-
I’ve found the only real way to apply pressure is ending chases quickly, hooking people, wounding as many as possible, taking advantage of altruism. This is why Pop goes the weasel is such a good perk, you can actually take progress away from the survivors instead of just making them achieve victory slower. Saying “just…
-
I’ll always like BHVR, just feel like they listen to reactionary members of the community who want to nerf everything rather than buffing things that really need it, they nerfed Freddy, a horror icon a week after his release and he was widely considered the worst killer until recently. Decisive Strike was “nerfed”, yet…
-
The problem is they keep trying to balance based off of winrates, general stats, and not listening to skilled players. They really don’t seem to listen to most of the Fog Whisperers at all, but correct me if I’m wrong.
-
I think it’s map design mostly, some of them just don’t accommodate killers who can’t get around the map quickly. The only time I think “Wow gen rush”! is when I’m playing Clown or trapper or something and two gens pop before I can get across the map. Just design better maps BHVR, make more of them like Hawkins or the new…
-
I think only licensed killers should have it.
-
I got hate mail today that just made me sad. He said he was playing with a new friend and I ruined the game for him. Going for my Ghost Face adept trophy. I don’t understand this mentality people have where they MUST win or the game’s not fun.

-
So your solution is adding to the issue?
-
Yeah, cause that wouldn’t be abused at all.
-
Clown, I love the laugh after hitting someone.
-
Oh yeah Billy’s high tier now, he was solid then but his map pressure wasn’t as big of a deal since loops were so much stronger, stealth was stronger. On the flipside, Trapper started falling out of favor since snowballing isn’t as big of a part of the game now as stopping generators is. Wraith’s “stealth” hardly matters…
-
With Wraith’s strongest add ons I’d say he’s fairly strong, but BHVR likes making add on reliant killers for some reason. The problem with the older killers like Trapper, Wraith, Billy, is that they were made and designed when the game’s meta was vastly different.
-
I go against Spirit all the time on PS4 so I’ve become good at dealing with her. They shouldn’t nerf her, only thing that needs adjusted is prayer beads IMO, doesn’t have hardly any counterplay unless you have Spine Chill. There’s a certain segment of this community that can’t adapt and wants to complain about literally…
-
Are you kidding? Prestige Claudette can practically disappear on dark maps.
-
I don’t dodge but if I see Blendettes in the lobby the odds of me slapping on a mori increase.
-
100% this. Get rid of add-on reliance on certain killers. Add-ons should y’know add-on to a power, not be required to have an effective power.
-
Technically I’m a Smurf but in my defense my old account got perma-banned. I kind of felt bad destroying rank 20’s but now I’m only at rank 12 and I’m running into SWF and killers with full meta loadouts.
-
So much hyperbole and exaggeration ITT, slowdown Freddy isn’t that bad. He’s an M1 killer that can be looped and led on long chases, with perks like Prove Thyself and toolboxes you can still just blow through gens. I laugh when I see thanatophobia, it’s such a small effect that it’s basically placebo. When you suicide and…
-
Even on console 360’s are trash, only works against new killers.
-
Why does everyone hate on Clown? His power helps in chases. His only real weakness is map pressure. He’s better than a bunch you have in B tier. He’s Not the best but far from the worst. This list is all wrong though, Huntress and Freddy need to be in A tier. Plague needs to be B at least.
-
I’m doing well, just salty cause It’s making some of the adept trophies impossible.
-
I like and respect BHVR but I’ll still call them on their mistakes and blunders.
-
No way, if you break off every chase that lasts more than 30 seconds you’re going to lose. I only break off when someone goes to a loop like Ironworks or Cowshed.
-
I just got hatemail from a dude saying he reported me cause I “took the game hostage”. I’m supposed to just let the pink haired Nea run across the map for a rescue apparently. LUL He also said I was a scrub cause he pallet stunned me 4 TIMES I’m shook man.
-
I am getting a bit tired of going against full meta SWF squads when I have zero good perks and add ons since I’m on a new account, no amount of skill makes up for all the insta heals, purple toolboxes and optimal loops. I have no problem with SWF but it’s kind of annoying how it breaks the ranking system.
-
I play 70% survivor 30% percent killer. I can’t stand DC’ers you ruin your teams chances with it. Selfish.
-
Seriously, maybe this is harsh. But get friends who aren’t scrubs. They’re not scrubs because they’re bad, but because they refuse to improve.
-
Predator, just not enough of an effect to be worth running. Vigil, same as the above. Thanatophobia I can’t believe people run this, one of the weakest killer perks in the game. Buff values very slightly. Overwhelming Presence, rework entirely. Just useless. Fire up, rework or buff so it’s worth using ever. Autodidact,…
-
You shouldn’t go around swinging the nerf bat purely cause someone finds something frustrating.
-
Can’t say I’m surprised the Fortnite player would mori spam.
-
My PSN’s TwistrBlitz if you need a good teammate.
-
You could try blocking them on PSN if you haven’t already. Better than nothing. Other than that play SWF with people who can take hits for you.
