Why do survivors gloat about hatch escapes?
So I've lost count the amount of times I've had a survivor message me "GG Ez" after they escaped through the hatch. I rarely slug for the 4k, as I see a 3k as a win and once I downed the second to the last survivor I'm ready to move onto the next game. I use to be a survivor main and I still don't get why some survivors…

I really hope they scrap the SBMM
I haven't posted on the forums since November 2020, I no longer play at red ranks as I only play DBD sporadically but I really hope the devs scrap SBMM. So far all I've seen it do is make queue times longer, random matches, and generally most matches aren't enjoyable. Good/experienced players going against…

When killers DC
I've had it a lot recently where the killer will DC before the game finishes, sometimes you don't get anything, you don't get any blood points, nor do you pip (sometimes you depip), and you lose your offerings. I know dedicated servers, but this is an issue that needs to be fixed before then. Especially that killers get a…

"Leatherface is OP"
Whilst I'm a survivor main, when I play killer I'm a Hillbilly main, but I play a lot of Leatherface as well. When I was playing Leatherface last night I received a lot of messages from survivors saying that "Leatherface is OP". I expect to hear that from a rank 10 or rank 15 survivor, but I was getting these messages were…

Why hasn't Jake featured in the Rift?
As you can tell by my profile picture, I main Jake when I play survivor. Jake is one of the original four survivors. He's one of the most played characters in the game, he's one of the few survivors that has a Legacy skin, and a lot of DBD content creators have Jake as their main. So why hasn't Jake featured in the Rift…

Do strong survivors sometimes need to be toxic in order to benefit the team?
Decent/experienced killers know when and when not to commit to a chase. Plus once you play enough killer you can identify a strong survivor and potato. Once you identify the strongest survivor, you'll leave them be for the majority of the match and target the survivors that play like baby Meg's. It's extremely rare that…

Typical, they fixed the bugs that affected survivors but didn't touch the bugs affecting killers
After yesterday's patch fix, the bugs that were fixed were the audio of the killer's radius for survivors, Huntress' hatchet hit boxes, and when you hook a survivor is hooked in the basement, they'll appear to float in the air. All these bugs have something in common, they affect survivors. To be honest, I barely noticed…

There isn't much difference between PC survivors and Console Survivors
Since the implementation of cross play I've seen countless comments from content creators, reddit users, forum users etc. that console players aren't at the same level as PC players. This might be true for the killer side of the game, as console killers suffer from FPS issues which is to no fault of their own. However,…

Killer is unplayable due to bugs
Since the update killer has been dreadful to play, due to the amount of bugs. There's a lot fps drops, sometimes you can't hook survivors, vault windows, break pallets, and damage generators. There needs to be a patch fix immediately, as killer is the most stressful at higher tier game-play. When you're playing killer…

Solo Survivor: How often do you contemplate whether randoms are worth your altruism?
For those that have played solo survivor will know you will get randoms with the seemingly combined IQ of 3, regardless whether you're at rank 1 or at rank 20. You'll either get a baby Meg/Meghead wasting all the pallets in the first 20 seconds, or a Nea urban evading at the edge of the map. When playing solo survivor how…
-
Unpopular opinion: Solo survivor doesn't need a buff
I see a lot of people of saying that solo survivor needs a buff if killer gets a buff, this is something I disagree with. When I was a survivor main, I mainly played solo survivor. So I know what it's like to play solo survivor, and how stressful it can be. However, the frustrations in solo queue isn't due to the game…

If you find a certain killer OP, try playing as that killer
So I see a lot of survivors asking for nerfs for certain killers, such as spirit. However, I believe a lot of those survivors have not played enough as that killer. If they did then they would know the strengths and weaknesses of the killer, probably wouldn't be asking for nerfs. When you play a certain killer you learn…

Question for survivors, what makes a killer a "try hard"?
Excluding when the killer is using OP addons and an ebony Mori. Survivors, when is a killer try harding in your opinion? When I play killer and I have survivors calling me a "try hard", often the match was actually quite easy as the survivors were far below my skill level. Not much I can do in that situation as those…

My issue with the current state of survivor (as a former survivor main)
So I've played the game since July 2018, and have over 2k hours in the game. Whilst I've always played both sides, for the majority of those two years I've been a survivor main. Until I slowly begun transitioning into a killer main in the last six months. The reason I've reduced the amount of the time I play survivor, is…
-
Simple alternative to the MMR system was to change rank reset system back to the old system
I've been playing this game for two years, I have played both sides, often shifted from being a survivor main to a killer main. From my experience the quality of games at red ranks decreased once the devs change the rank reset system, where you were just moved down to the previous crest colour. For example anyone in red…

NOED is frowned upon but the DS and unbreakable combo is okay
I'm going to state that in my opinion NOED is a bad perk. If you're using NOED, you're basically using three perks for the entire game. A perk slot which could be used for a perk to help you to try and prevent the gens from being done. If you do down someone with NOED the survivors are less likely to try to go for the…

I personally hope the DC penalty doesn't come back as it only affects killers and innocent players
I'm going state that I think players who disconnect because they're losing is pathetic. However, if a survivor wants to leave a match they can simply give up on hook which has the same impact on the game as a player disconnecting. However, if I'm playing killer and I down a survivor and they immediately disconnect, with…

It's always the potatoes who are toxic post game
Whenever a survivor send hate towards the killer at the end of the game, complaining about the way killer played it's often the weakest link. When I play killer it's rare I'll get toxic messages from competent/decent/good survivors. When I do get messages from survivors, complaining about how I played, calling me a try…

"Slugging at 5 gens"
So this is a common complaint I see from survivor players, I even seen Tru3ta1ant (a killer main) criticizing killers who slug at five generators. However, every time I hear or see this complaint I ask, why should the killer not slug at five generators? Unless the killer is using a slugging build. Often the reason the…

To survivors who disconnect because it's a certain killer...
So I'm a Doctor main so I often get survivors disconnecting at the start of the game because they "don't like playing against Doctor". To those who disconnect because it's a certain killer they don't like, my response is that I don't like playing against SWF's but I don't disconnect whenever I go against a SWF, I just deal…

How good are you with each killer?
Whilst most of us share a common opinion on which killers are strong and which are weak. However, we each have our own killer that we main, and who we feel more comfortable playing as. The purpose of this post is to rate yourself out of five for each killer. Key: 1/5: You have a basic understanding of the killer's power,…

Is killer currently easier then it was before?
So I see a lot comments saying that killer is a lot easier then it use to be. As most infinities have been removed, there's not as many pallets, no pallet vacuum, old ultra rare add ons have been nerfed, and other survivor nerfs. However, survivors in 2020 are a lot of more optimal then they were before. Survivors are more…

As killer do you have a least favourite survivor (character)?
When playing as the killer do you have a least favourite survivor, who you are more determined to sacrifice then any other survivor. If so, who and why? For me it's Nea. It's not because of her aesthetic design, as Nea use to be one of the main survivors I played back in 2018. The reason Nea is my least favourite survivor…

Swap Discordance 1 and Discordance 3 values
A lot of people share the opinion that Discordance level 1 is a better perk then Discordance 3, as you get more notifications with Discordance level 1. However, it gets quite annoying when the blood web forces you to get Discordance level 2 and level 3. So as Discordance level 1 is a better perk then Discordance level 3,…

Killers can't always play nice
So over the past few days I've seen a lot of posts about how killers are being toxic. Personally when I play killer I try my best to play as fair as possible, even when there isn't an obsession. However, sometimes I'm forced to use scummy tactics to turn the game back in my favour. These include tunneling the weakest link…

Why some people have issue with the old event skins being giving out for free
I've seen a lot of people mention that the old event skins do not look as good as the skins that are being released now, so why do people care that they are now given out for free? It's not about their aesthetics but rather what they represent. What the old event skins represented was that the player that owned that skin…

The New Map is too killer sided (from someone who plays both sides)
Whilst the map has only just been released, in my opinion this new map is even more killer sided than Hawkins. At least Hawkins has good loop potential. The look of the Silent Hill map is great, however the map layout isn't great. So far it doesn't seem to have much looping potential, which consists with it being easy to…
-
How do you loop optimally on the new map?
Normally I'm a very strong looper, I always have a chase route in mind in case the killer decides to chase me. I even coach players to help them improve their looping. However with this map I'm having a real hard time navigating it, as both survivor and as killer. I can't really plan a chase route as the map is still very…
-
What is it with Nea's?
I play survivor (mainly solo) and killer at rank 1. Most Nea's I come across are always the most boosted. Are often the prime example of how easy it is to rank up as survivor. There are two common types of Nea's you'll come across. The first is the basic Nea with Urban Evasion. These Nea's just urban evade around the map…

If NOED got nerfed in exchange for better totem spawn locations that would be great
So there are quite a lot of terrible totem spawns, such as the one in Lery's, right next to generators, and other obvious places. I've lost count the amount of times I've had my totems spawn right next to generators. The only reason I can think of that totems have these terrible spawns is due to NOED. Personally I would…

Anyone else feel that the game just hates them
Does anyone just feel that DBD just hates them, due to how unlucky they are with RNG. Whenever I play survivor I rarely get the strongest tile RNG spawn, I rarely get the party bus. Often I load into the game and the map hasn't spawned any jungle gyms, only T and L walls and pallet gyms. I get randoms using self care and…
-
Before we decide whether PH is too strong or weak, just remember...
When the Clown first came out people thought he was strong, even Adretha (a killer main) thought Clown was strong. When Spirit was first released people thought Spirit was a fun but a weak killer. When the Doctor got his rework, people thought it was a nerf to cater around "baby survivors". When Deathslinger was released…

Biggest issue with balance in DBD
So I play both sides at red ranks for quite some time so I believe my opinion on balance is unbiased. I have my survivor sided views and my killer sided views. In my opinion the biggest issue with balance is generators, whether it's the time it takes to complete them or how easy is it for the killer to patrol them. When…

A simple SWF nerf: Lock certain perks
So I had an idea that if survivors choose to play SWF then they forfeit the ability to use certain perks. As certain perks are okay when used by solo survivors but become unbalanced when used by SWF teams. Object of Obsession: When OoO is paired with comms, it becomes extremely unbalanced and unfair to the killer to go…

Do jungle gyms still spawn on Gas Heaven?
I personally only came back from a three month break from the game, so I'm still not familiar with the new map layouts. I've played a couple of games on Gas Heaven and each time there has been three T and L walls, and a single pallet wall. The second time the bus didn't even Spawn. Personally I can loop around T and L…

How would you change Freddy?
For starters this isn't a "Freddy is OP" post, a more of an open discussion. I often see a lot complaints about Freddy from survivor mains and some killer mains. I'm interested to see those who have those complaints what they would change about Freddy. The main complaints is that Freddy is incredibly dull to play against.…

Players should be allowed to DC against an AFK killer or a DC without any penalties
There should be a system in place that allows players to leave the game without any penalties when certain criteria are met Against a DC: So when a killer has a survivor disconnecting at the start of the match, the killer should then be given the option to end the match without any penalties. When I play killer and I get a…

List your strongest killers in order
Rather then creating tier table for killers, this thread is for you to list your personal killers strength. So some people may have clown as their strongest killer. Below is my list. Have in mind I rarely use add ons when I play killer, so my listings are based on using them without add ons. Doctor (Main): Before the…

I believe they should bring back the old rank reset
I think the current rank reset along with dedicated servers are the reason for the matchmaking issues. As it increases the amount of the player base that are in red ranks. Whilst I know some people didn't like having to spend time getting back to rank 1 each season, but it didn't take that long to get back to rank 1 from…

Anyone else think the Stranger Things DLC update was the most enjoyable period
For me it was the most fun I had in Dead by Daylight since before the Legion DLC update. For starters match making actually worked as intended, red ranks would play against red ranks. Whilst rank was still not that important, but if you were at red ranks you were confident that you'll get competent opponent and competent…

It's not tunneling if you're working on a generator
I'm going to start of and say I'm actually a survivor main. However, I play both survivor and killer at red ranks. When I play killer I try my best to play as fair as possible. I even go out my way to avoid tunneling an unhooked survivor, which makes playing killer at red ranks even harder then it already is. However,…

Back from a long break: What have I missed?
I just got back into Dead By daylight after not playing since mid March. I know about the new map changes, whilst it will take time getting used to it was needed for the killer's perspective. Due to the below post I know about the sensitivity changes, these changes have made playing killer really difficult. I was a rank 1…

Shelter Woods
So Badham Preschool was reworked but if any map that needed a rework it is Shelter Woods. Shelter Woods is basically an empty space with trees, with a few jungle gyms littered around the map and a big tree in the middle. It's a map that feels it would have been alright the game first came out in 2016, but whilst the rest…

A survivor main's DS nerf idea
I'm a survivor main but I play killer at red ranks as well. I've played at red ranks as both as a survivor and killer for nearly two years now. Current DS is not as bad as old DS, whilst some killers would disagree but when old DS was about survivors weren't as optimal and objective focused as they are now. A single…

Gen locations on the new map (Seem heavily survivor sided)
I haven't played DBD in over a month, and I played my first game on the new map as killer last night. What I noticed was that there was three or four upstairs generators, which made providing generator pressure really difficult. I was having to spend about a minute going to those generators to push the survivors off, it's…

Spirit Mains: How do I play as Spirit?
Whilst I'm a red rank killer I've never played Spirit properly other then doing a daily or if I just wanted to Mori the obsession with Rancor. So I'm asking Spirit mains for suggestions of perk builds (I don't have Stridor, but I do have nurses calling Thanaphobia), and the best way to play as Spirit. Also I don't like to…
