What are the true motives behind the current SBMM discourse?
I know a lot of people don’t follow DBD content creation, but I know a lot do and I was curious to see what other people thought on this issue.Recently there has been a lot of discussion regarding the state of the game since the implementation of SBMM- with most content creators saying it has been an overall negative for…

Have the developers ever actually stated how they want killers to play the game?
So, reading the PTB notes and I see the change to Deja Vu: We have noticed growing concerns surrounding excessively long matches caused by 3-genning (Killer defending a cluster of three generators). We are working on a long term solution for a future update to limit how effective this strategy can be. However, we recognize…

Is the killer being slightly better than the survivors the healthiest way for matchmaking to work?
This discussion is inspired by Scott Junds latest video. Specifically the point he starts to make at around 6 minutes in: https://youtu.be/ccYLse6kWnI?si=Zuz6lHpWxnfs_ANr Before commenting I want to reiterate that flaming content creators or attacking them personally is not allowed so please don’t do this. You may not like…

Why is Windows NOT a strong perk?
I think Windows is a strong perk. I see it in a majority of my matches both when I play killer and solo survivor. Generally on at least two survivors, but all players who aren’t me using it isn’t a rare occurrence. So for a perk so ubiquitous in the survivor meta right now, for those who thinks it’s just average can you…

The reaction to Alien proves some people don’t understand how a 4 v 1 game should be balanced.
Look, this post will contain some us vs them, but honestly the reaction to this chapter is making avoiding that impossible. An actual good killer is released into the game for the first time since Wesker and the crying is unbelievable. It’s very clear now that a lot of survivor mains don’t view this as a horror game where…

Why can TCM have both built in voice chat and show who is in a party whilst DBD can’t?
Seriously what is the reason the devs seem unwilling in this game to implement voice chat, balance around this communication and acknowledge the advantage playing in a coordinated team gives you? For anyone who has played TCM, you know when you see the icon telling you the family is in a party they’re going to bring much…

The endurance/haste meta is out of hand
I can already hear the refutes to this video’s arguments now. Something along the lines of: It’s just one video! It doesn’t prove anything! That was probably a coordinated SWF, solos could never pull it off! Only SWF’s are using perk combos like buckle up and for the people! Hardly anyone runs these perks! Adrenaline and…

Hypothetical: The DC penalty remains and is made harsher BUT everyone can pick two killers to avoid…
For clarity, I do not believe the DC penalty should ever be removed. I also don’t think selecting killers to avoid is the healthiest idea, but I am curious to see if people could certain avoid killers entirely in their matchmaking who you guys would pick. In being given this choice as well you have to accept that your DC…

How many killers do you enjoy playing?
This isn’t necessarily a question about viability or where they rank on a tier list (but of course those factors may influence your enjoyment)- it’s how many killers do you have in constant rotation and have fun with, whether you win, lose or draw. With the killer roster at 30+ characters I’m interested to see how many of…

Comparing the “brainless and unskilled” 3 gen meta with the current survivor meta
So we had the 3 Gen meta. You know the one. Call of Brine, Overcharge and Eruption. Killers kicking gens, defending areas, elongating matches, refusing to chase, trying to win a war of attrition. The 3 Gen meta was widely criticised not only for being unfun, but also for being a low skill play style. Anyone can kick gens…

Two basic questions around tunnelling
Recently a friend of mine started streaming DBD. We will occasionally duo together in survivor. She has TTV in her username and I can say anecdotally she definitely gets targeted more in games. Not always outright tunnelling, but it does happen fairly often that it led to me thinking about two issues/questions I’d like to…

Be honest now, someone self identifies as a killer or survivor main- what do you immediately think?
Curious to hear people’s instant reactions whenever they see the phrase “I’m a survivor/killer main”.

A question for streamers regarding map brightness
Hey guys, I’m asking this question on behalf of a friend of mine who recently started streaming a bit of DBD. She plays on PS5 but streams through her PC using a capture card. The quality of her visuals are quite good but the issue she’s having is the brightness discrepancy between maps. Without touching any settings some…

If chases are supposedly the most interactive element in the game….
Then why is it so punishing as a killer (when you play 90% of the roster) to commit to a chase of around 20-30 seconds or heaven forbid slightly longer? I’m trying a lot at the moment to limit my slowdown perks and go for info/chase builds because I do believe that is the most fun I can personally have when playing killer…

Last Standing is the real issue
Reading through the announcement it comes across like they had to implement a base-kit UB due to the mori changes. Combatting slugging as a tactic is just a secondary effect. What I don’t understand though is why the whole “last standing” element is so unnecessarily complicated. Literally just activate it when all other…

Should killers be rewarded for not camping?
Rewarded for not camping? What madness is this. Ok, just hear me out whilst I play devil’s advocate. The new perk reassurance exists to directly counter camping. Regardless of context- face camping at 5 gens, proxy camping in a 3 gen or camping at end game- the perk exists to massively disincentivise camping and punish the…

Rework the pipping system.
How can you have games as survivor where you complete two gens, cleanse totems, open the gates, escape and actually depip? Should I be punished because unfortunately the killer didn’t have a good game and only got two hooks and other players were closer for the rescue? It’s ludicrous! The entire pipping system needs…

Botanist Extraordinaire
I have been attempting the last few days to complete this challenge: “Finish healing 2 states of other survivors whilst using the perk Botany Knowledge and a Med-Kit”. Without a shadow of a doubt I have fulfilled the parameters of this challenge multiple times and it has not registered as complete. The last few times I…

Individual killer ratings
Here’s two games from this week. I was the killer in both: I am most definitely not high MMR and definitely a bang average killer. And I know anyone reading this only has my word for it but I was not doing some stupid personal challenge or trying to prove a false point by only using one perk- both my Doctor and Nemesis (I…
