In defense for Franklin's and why Overwhelming Presence should be buffed
So there are a couple of reasons I made this thread. One, I hope that this thread ends up above or below a thread complaining about Franklin's so that I get a funny image to post. Second, I'd like to talk about Franklin's and Overwhelming regarding items. Now as we all know, there are people who genuinely hate Franklin's.…

SWF and totems
So as we all know, a totem counter is one way to fix the gap between solo and SWF. While thinking, I realized something. SWF can call out totem locations and as such one person can stumble upon a totem and ask their teammates to cleanse it later. I don't think that's something that can be replicated in solo so here's my…

In defense for SWF and why they're mostly fine
There are a few things that'll always pop up in this forum. NOED OP and SWF OP. And while a lot of people have expressed their defense for both sides, I'd like to take a different approach on defending SWF. This'll be based on my experience in SWF. Anyway I occasionally play with my friends and in most days, telling them…

A slugfest for all!
As we all know, 4-man slug strategies are generally frowned upon but I really want to know how viable it actually is. So one day if we get public custom matches or if the devs somehow listen to this, I'd like to do some tests on how viable 4-man slug really is (Also, Breakdown bug). Here are the general rules -No hooks.…

Gens are boring
So as we all know, doing gens is kinda boring. It's basically pressing a button for 80 seconds while occasionally pressing skill checks. Ironically, getting frightened by a stealth killer is the most exciting thing about fixing gens. This conception is one of the main reasons why gen regression cannot be buffed, because…

Problem with Ruin
The problem with Ruin is that it's mostly strong mid-game as the killer usually has a lot less areas to cover and it helps a ton with 3-gens. Worse still survivors have a habit of testing for Ruin at the start of the game. This typically leads to Ruin being cleansed immediately, giving no value whatsoever. Here's a dumb…

An Alternative for Immersed Survivors
You! Yes, you! Are you an immersed player? Do you like the idea of never being found by the killer? Are your teammates angry at you for not doing gens? Are you scared of touching gens because the killer might find you? Well say goodbye to your problems with this simple technique! Anyway the trick is to use Technician. Now…

In defense for Spirit Fury + Enduring
So it's been a while and currently, all the killers have been pointing their fingers at Dead Hard. Along with the occasional Nurse complaint threads, I noticed a weird theme... People actually think Spirit Fury + Enduring is as broken as Dead Hard and they use it as argument for why Dead Hard shouldn't be nerfed. So for…

In defense for DH and why Coup de Grace should be buffed
So now that DS and OoO is nerfed, some of us are going after Dead Hard. I made this thread for 2 reasons. One, I hope that this thread ends up above or below a thread complaining about DH so that I get a funny image to post. Second, I'd like to talk about DH and Coup de Grace regarding dashes. So here's the thing about…

DLC survivor perk idea : Backflash
So recently I've been playing Dying Light (Not the multiplayer) and it was pretty fun. One of the skills I saw that I like the most was Backlash which basically allows you to use your secondary while looking behind yourself and running (One of those secondaries is a UV flashlight. You see where I'm going with this?). Now I…

Doctor is great for this game
Let me explain what I mean. Besides learning how to do generators, survivors need to learn these following things in order to progress in the game. *Loop a killer without vaulting or stunning them *Unhook safely without losing either you or the hooked survivor *Not hide in a bush the entire game *Perform difficult skill…

What ideas do you have for cross killer add-ons?
Essentially I'm talking about add-ons that reference other killers such as Blight's Plague Bile. Here's one of my ideas : Herman's Mixtape A mixtape which recorded bass boosted noises of The Doctor's victim being tortured. The Legion members found this funny for unknown reasons Hitting a survivor highlighted by Killer…

A fair exchange on meta/problematic perks
As we all know, the community is taking the DS nerf surprisingly well. I'm fine with that since it means I can stop complaining about the Undying nerf now that survivors have suffered the same fate to their meta. Which begs the question, if a perk that served the same purpose as a meta perk was buffed or a perk that caused…
-
An Alternative to DS
This post was originally supposed to be about either Alert or Leader but seeing all those threads regarding DS, I've decided to make this one instead to show you that there are alternatives to anti-tunneling perks for yourself. You! Yes, you! Do you hate getting tunneled? Do you know how to contribute to your team without…

Something I've noticed about the strong killers
So I've spent some time looking at the a killer tier list when I realized something. Most of the top tier killers have poor counterplay against stealth with the exception of Compound 21 Blight, Glowing Concoction Huntress, Oni, and Willow add-on Hag. On my quest to escape rank 4, I have been hindered by sniper huntresses,…

DbD hard mode part 1 : Survivors and offerings
So a lot of people wanted a different game mode, 1 to separate the sweaty tryhards with the chill players. I give you, hard mode. A game mode where both sides are boosted and extremely strong, thus requiring both of them to sweat their hardest to win. Team structure : Only 2-man or 4-man SWF can play, in order to avoid…

Driver's License rework
As we all know, GF's reveal mechanic is bugged and as a result, the add-on for it is also bugged and practically useless. I have a compromise for that problem : Ghost Face Caught On Tape is made into a purple add-on. It's effect is not worth being a pink add-on. Driver's License is instead the pink add-on and its ability…
-
Sound cues, Deathslinger, and Undetectable
As we all know, Deathslinger sucks. It's mostly because there's barely any counterplay against him in chase. My idea is to weaken him the same way Huntress is balanced. First, make it so every time Slinger raises his rifle, it makes a loud CLANK sound. Judging by the many oil add-ons he has, it's safe to assume that he…

Unbreakable suggestion
One of the things about perks that let you pick yourself up are the risks it possesses. No Mither you can tell and Soul Guard depends on how long the hex stays active. These 2 perks in the right condition will usually force the killer to almost never slug. There are 2 problems with Unbreakable You get to pick yourself up…
-
Third Seal Buff
Survivors who are hooked while the hex is active will suffer from Blindness until 20/25/30 seconds after the related Hex Totem is destroyed. When this totem is cleansed by a survivor, all survivors will be deafened and suffer from Oblivious for 20/25/30 seconds. Remember that Third Seal was supposed to be a stealth perk?…
-
Huntress Lullaby buff
So a problem with old Ruin was that you could get pressure without actually having to work for it while one of the problems of Gearhead is that it rewards survivors who constantly hit great skill checks. With these things in consideration, I think I might know a good buff to make Huntress Lullaby on-par with Devour Hope…

An Alternative to Risky Unhooks
You! Yes, you! Do your teammates keep trying to save you without BT? Are you tired of being hooked on the same hook 3 times? Is MYC giving the killer too much value? Do you have a ton of Petrified Oaks in your inventory? Well say goodbye to your problems with this one technique! Anyway, the trick is to use Breakdown. Now…
-
We'll Make It
We'll make it is a great perk. Whenever I'm feeling generous, I like to use this instead BT to instantly heal my unhooked teammate. It's great when the killer isn't proxy camping or when you're not in a rush to unhook someone. Unfortunately just like Hope which is outclassed by Adrenaline, We'll Make It is still outclassed…
-
Spirit Fury change
A thing about Spirit Fury is that it's terrible on its own. Whenever you run it, you also have to run either Enduring or Brutal Strength to get the most of it. I wouldn't make Enduring a part of Spirit Fury but I do have a suggestion for it. After breaking 4/3/2 pallets, Spirit Fury activates. While Spirit Fury is active,…
-
Furtive Change
As we all know, the only part of Furtive Chase that people use is the obsession switching mechanic. Now that Nemesis exists, there's no point to Furtive Chase. Its effect is literally a hindrance. Since the devs probably intended this to be a chase stealth perk, let's try and keep up to the theme : You become obsessed with…

What's wrong with Hag?
I've been watching a lot of Michi's videos and frankly, I enjoy it. It's nice to see unused perks like MYC, ToT, Dark Devotion, Third Seal, and even Cruel Limits being actually viable with Hag. All she needs is Corrupt intervention and she's good to go. And yet so many people seem to want Hag nerfed, they want instant…

Rate my meme build
This is my main build for either Nurse or Demo. It's mainly to capitalize on their mobility and make the most out of it. It's also in case Repressed Alliance gets buffed someday. Thrilling Tremors Dead Man's Switch Nemesis (Demo) or Furtive Chase (Nurse) Whispers

Random Thought on Spirit
Everyone knows about the horrific creature that is Stridor Spirit. A lot of people are probably begging for it to go away but there's a huge chance that it might ruin Spirit completely. Anyway, you can add this thread to the list of Spirit nerfs that have been posted in this forum. 1. Spirit will be deaf while using…
-
Minor Spine Chill nerf
There's something I don't like about Spine Chill and it's not the main effect. The main effect is personally fine since it's only good on 1 type of killer and if you know which gens are being worked on, you can look at that gen to scare survivors off it. What I don't like about Spine Chill is the many minor secondary…
-
Meme add-on for plague
As most of us know, Plague absolutely sucks at gaining bloodpoints. Something that's odd though is that despite this, Plague doesn't have a meme add-on. Because of this, I have 2 suggestions for it, a brown add-on which is basically a total downgrade and a purple add-on that changes your playstyle. Brown Acidic Lime A very…

Which do you prefer. Thrilling Tremors or Surveillance
So I'm a little torn between these 2 perks as they're both really good multi-gen tracking perks. Problem is, they don't work together due to blocked generators no longer regressing. I'll be listing the things I like of both perks I love Thrilling Tremors because the condition is pretty lenient. Picking up survivors is a…

An Alternative to Camping Leatherface
Oh boy, another advertisement post. Here it goes You! Yes, you! Do you main The Cannibal? Are you tired of being insulted for facecamping? Do you want to stop running Insidious? Do you hate it when survivors heal your slugged victims? Do you want at least 2 survivors to go down in one swoop? Well now you can achieve all…
-
Huntress' Lullaby mechanic change
Okay hear me out. What if Huntress' Lullaby was an obsession perk? When compared to other hexes, this perk is pretty weak. The reason for this lies in how situational it is since a person with good reflexes or eye-to-hand coordination can still nail 0 warning skill checks. Now I understand that it's still a strong perk and…
-
Screwing with the anti-totem meta
You thought this was going to be another advertisement but it was me, perk build analysis! Anyway because of the current meta of Ruin Undying Tinkerer, a lot of people are running either Detective's Hunch, Small Game, Soul Guard, or Inner Strength and I can understand that since Ruin and NOED are really powerful. However…

An Alternative to Self-care
You. Yes, you! Do you want to heal yourself? Do your teammates hate you for wasting time doing practically nothing? Do you hate being called selfish? Do you want to spend less time Self-caring in the corner when you could be doing something else? Well now you can! With this magical trick, you'll be able to heal yourself…

Anti-Optimal play perks
So I have a question. Why aren't there too many perks causes survivors to play badly? Having a single a potato in your team is extremely detrimental so how hasn't there been more perks that punishes optimal plays and why are they below average? Is it balance reasons? I'd like to know your opinions on this Let me show you…
-
A mechanic worth looking at?
A lot of killer perks typically punishes bad plays and forces survivors to be better. Overcharge and Unnerving presence teaches you to be more reactive when fixing gens, Coulrophobia teaches you to not heal in the killer's terror radius, Forced Penance teaches you to not try and bodyblock a killer on their way to a hook…

A Possible Hidden Potential for Visionary?
While looking through the generator aura reveal perk, I noticed something interesting. Both Déjà vu and Detective’s Hunch require a generator to be completed. Visionary however, does the opposite, it deactivates when a generator is completed. Now I understand why this perk is considered bad, why would you want to be…
