Hot Take: Gen tapping is now stronger than ever
Has everyone caught on to the fact that once a generator has been kicked, you can effectively just hold the gen for 4 seconds, let go, and then the regression timer starts over? This means you can basically make it so that the gen can never be kicked (obviously gen regression/blocking perks that don't require kicking the…

Grim Brace + DMS = Old Eruption Incapacitated Effect
I’m really curious as to why it’s not painfully obvious to the devs that this will make games absolutely horrendous once this is optimized.

Ultimate Weapon is an easy mode perk
I don’t think it’s good design for a perk to basically be “run calm spirit every match or have the killer know where you are at almost all times”. At least with bbq, it requires the killer to win a chase and down the survivor. At the very least, the cool down needs to be extended if the activation requirement is going to…

Please stop trying to kobe when someone is trying to save you....
I don't know when this trend started, but I can't count the number of times someone has accidentally sent themselves to second phase attempting to kobe when I'm literally right in their face trying to unhook them. I just lost a game because someone did exactly this and the whole team ending up dying shortly thereafter.…

Can someone please help me understand how I got grabbed?

I wish every survivor would run We'll Make It
I only play solo q when I play survivor. Since the last patch, I've fallen in love with We'll Make It. It's so satisfying to heal my teammates with We'll Make It + medkits right under the hook in under 8 seconds (also a direct counter to the sloppy butcher meta). I've found that one of the best ways to punish tunneling, is…

I don't understand why people who tunnel/camp at 5 gens complain about gen speeds
I find this to be very strange. By tunneling/camping at 5 gens (and winning), you are artificially pushing your MMR up. And what is the end result? You end up facing more difficult competition ie more coordinated swfs. So sure you will stomp solos and mid level teams for awhile, but to what end? You hit that brick wall and…

PC - Missing wall on Haddonfield
Platform: PC - public match Description: Missing wall on Haddonfield that allowed survivors to run outside of the map Steps to reproduce: not sure how to reproduce Frequency: First time I've ever seen this happen (screenshot attached because video is too large)

How to address the Skull Merchant 3gen abuse
So if you play both sides, by now I'm sure you have faced a SM that sits on a 3gen from the start of the match and then does not chase outside of the area. Then add the synergy with the gen kick meta and the result is the game stalls and becomes a stalemate where the survivors are essentially forced to give up/run in and…

Both sides are responsible for the current state of DBD
Background: For years, I was exclusively a killer main. However at the beginning of this year, I wanted to give survivor a real try (solo) to see if I was merely blinded by my own bias. The short answer is yes I was. Now let me explain. Killer Experience: As a killer main, I probably win 70% of my games at this point.…

Patch 6.1.0: My opinion as a bias killer main
My experience so far tells me that the biggest change is that I now have to think a bit about my loadout as a killer. However, other than that, I feel like the survivor meta will simply be gen rush (Prove Thyself & toolboxes/bnp) + speed boost chase/exhaustion perks like Spring Burst and Lithe + endurance perks like off…

What is the counterplay for teams that run sprint burst and Lithe?
I've started to come across more and more swfs where the whole team has these equipped and at times it feels like chases are pointless because of how much time it takes to even catch up in the first place. It's as if people are doing their very best not to actually have to engage in real chases. Not sure how to actually…

How I Would "Fix" NOED (from a killer main's POV that does not use NOED)
Context: Let's start off with what NOED actually does. It removes 1 health state. survivors can stack second chance perks to get 3/4/5 extra health states throughout the entire game, but then do not like when 1 health state gets removed during egc. Here's how I would fix NOED: each time a survivor uses a second chance…

Why do survivors get a head start?
I'm still genuinely confused as to why survivors get a head start by spawning right on top of gens if you don't run corrupt. There are times when I question why the game doesn't just start at 3 gens to complete because the first 2 gens will almost always pop regardless of what you do (unless the survivors are absolute…

2 downs (w Corrupt and Ruin up) and still lost a gen 50 seconds in.......
Can someone please advise me how I could have performed better here? 2 downs with corrupt/ruin up and still lost a gen. Make it make sense please and thank you. *Edit: For those that are unclear: the purpose of this post is to discuss how the average killer (I am above average so this is not about me) is supposed to keep…

The amount of cheating in this game is depressing....
For all the gripes I might have about being killer main, subtle cheating is by far the most depressing. I can play around annoying perks, swf etc but nothing can be done if someone is cheating. I just got done playing a game where I suspected something was off because one of them were just a bit too fast, but they didn't…

If Solo Queue is buffed what should killers get to compensate?
I see a lot of threads about nerfing camping and giving solo queue more information so they are closer to swfs, but I rarely see what people are willing to give killers in return. I'd love to hear your ideas (with the exception of just buffing ghostface/legion - not trying to hear that at all lol).
