DBD Statistics attained through analysis.
Hey everyone! Statistics are always interesting. They can be used to draw complex conclusions or are a tool for blurring what is really going on. Simply; they are powerful! The developers of DBD initially created a video named "Let's talk numbers" in their 114th episode and a lot of seemed to like it! Of course, I don't…

FREDDY REWORK but you'll ACTUALLY Love It
Freddy. The "My power hurts me more than it helps me" Freddy. The "Self-Care is OP" Freddy. The "My brightness is too high Freddy". There are various iterations of this so called Freddy. But the only real Freddy is Freddy Krueger. Why is such a killer so disliked? It's such an amazing character in the horror movies! He has…

Nerfing Items by making Items more easily available to survivors.
Here's a plan: Chests will open instantly. There'll be more chests per map (in total 8 or more?). Items from chests come with add-ons. Chest related perks will be buffed appropriately and keys will be adjusted in a way to be more appropriate to this giant item influx. So what do you think? Are you happy with the item buff?…

Let's be honest: The Moonrise Event was more exciting than most of you admit!
There are multiple people who have stated that either the moonrise event caused everyone to Gen rush and it caused everyone to never do Gens. I personally find this event the BEST one so far! The competitive nature of the lamps and your need to survive with them make you extra conscious of what you are doing and how you…

Tip on how to escape with Vessels (For Solo's)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWCbQCmipNg&t=2s Use the "I'll make sure my teammates die before I do" build. You run: Premonition, Sprint Burst, Open Handed, Bond. Use Premonition to avoid getting caught. Use Sprint Burst so that it's harder to tunnel you and to make sure that if there are multiple survivors, the killer…

Public Poll: All Seeing VS Blindness
There are 2 sides of the coin On the Left-Side: We have people who want survivors to have less information.

What I'm wondering about...
I'm of the opinion that the Devs did a lot of great things in the last patch; From the perk-rework incentive to addressing the perk visibility in the endgame lobby. As someone who is concerned on what the Devs spend their time on, I'm wondering the following; When it comes to making perks more viable, many times the…

Best Of Prey Rework, but you'd actually use it.
The older beast of Prey tried to make you more unpredictable in chases by hiding your Red Stain. We do in fact know that hiding your red stain can be strong and is a crucial point for manipulation at the higher levels of the game. So what is the problem with the current perk? It's that it only works once you've gained…

Why DBD is losing players!!!
As you can see in this official graph, DBD is losing players. There's no point in denying it! So why is that? First of all there's NOED. This perk literally needs to be changed. Killers can just lose the entire match and then suddenly they 4k, just because they have NOED. It's pretty clear now. The Devs are killer…

Is there any particular reason why Console doesn't get a higher Max Sensitivity?
Low frame-rate and the locked low Max Sensitivity on console (/controllers) is what creates the disparity between the performance of killers like Nurse. Frame-Rate sounds like the more difficult issue to solve and I wouldn't know what causes this seemingly simple game to be so demanding. So, to put the first one aside,…

Increasing the Killer Mastery Cap by Offering Them More CHOICE
Proactive and strategic choices for the killer The role of the killer The role of the killer in DBD is often reactive instead of pro-active one: 1. The survivors choose which generator they want to complete. All you can do is react and try to push them off. 2. The survivors choose where you are being chased to. You can't…

Adding a second option for Controller settings
Hey! A non-priority suggestion; There is an issue that frequently occurs with (ps4) controllers where the left joy-stick can no longer properly track how far you're pushing the stick up. Normally, a controller returns a (y) value between -1 and 1 to show whether the stick is pressed up or down. (0 means in the middle).…
