Make New Myers and Scratched Mirror 4.4m/s?
Preface I wanna preface this by saying... I bloody hate Scratched Mirror Myers... I'm just gonna get it outta the way and say it... It doesnt scare me cause it's so predictable and I always end up dying because I always get bored of my team being too cowardly to touch gens and Myers constantly harassing me cause I'm the…

Thoughts on a Comeback Mechanic in an asym
As we all know, 2v8 has a comeback mechanic built into it, where: - Whenever a generator is completed, all survivors suffer a 5% repair speed penalty. Whenever a survivor is hooked, all survivors gain a 2.5% repair speed bonus. Thinking about this system, I believe it is far too simple, but as I thought more about it, I…

Let's fix Maps finally!
What should we try to do with Maps? I believe that auras fundamentally are more helpful for new players and SoloQ. Maps are actually good, but should be made more accessible to the players who would benefit more with them! The fact is if you're in a SWF or are highly skilled enough, maps are not something that is ever…

Left Behind buff to be Anti 4k Slug!
I am making threads to buff keys and make them better for hatch, and those changes I am proposing makes Left Behind a little obsolete. However regardless of whether or not those changes come to fruition, Left Behind could still use a buff, and with the big concern nowadays being slugging for the 4k, Left Behind can fill…

Let's fix Keys finally!
What should we try to do with Keys? I believe that auras fundamentally are more helpful for new players and SoloQ.

Cages in 2vs8 do not count for "Kill Survivor by any means" Challenges
SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE: When playing 2vs8, if you have a challenge selected for killing survivors by any means, sacrificing a survivor via a cage doesn't count towards the challenge. This could be attirbuted to you not being the one to kill them, however it does count if your teammate is the one to Finisher Mori a survivor.…

A tiny buff to Wesker to further discourage tunneling?
A Great Change The last round of changes to reduce his ability to tunnel and score a free hit via hindered if he sucked at chase/using his power was a great change. A Wesker who comes back to hooks should have to actually be good if he wants to tunnel and shouldn't realistically expect a hit to come for free if he waits…

Final Hunt - Finisher Mori
So while talking about the prevalence of 4k slugging, this suggestion is not new: Make the Finisher Mori an incentive not to slug via only unlocking if the 4th survivor is not in the dying state when the 3rd survivor dies. However while thinking about that I had what I think seems rather cool idea... have the killer get…

Share your "OPEN THE DAMN GATE!!!!" stories!
...and the reason why gates need to regress. Let me paint the scenario.

Finisher Mori tweak to go against 4k slug
I reckon the slugging for 4k will tone down after a while, I think the uptick in it is primarily cause its new... I also actually like being Mori'd. I see it as a badge of honour to be the one that gets to have the cinematic finish. However other people don't like it, and there will still be SOME uptick in 4k slugging,…

Nurse and Predator highlights potential positive direction
Predator is fine... A lot of people called it, it's been swimming in a few threads here and there... Predator is fine with the rework, but it is absolutely broken on Nurse. I've seen a few content creators highlight it already, and the general gist is the same... leave Predator alone... you can't nerf a perk to uselessness…

We should address the ACTUAL problem with Slugging
To get to the point quickly, the problem of Slugging is actually quite simple... A slugged player loses all player agency. There is a principle held in all game design, be it board games, video games or even playground games. You should never take away players agency. This is why snakes and ladders, tic tac toe and other…

Chucky is a battleground for DBDs soul...
I wish polls were a thing in this forum... I flip flop on the changes to Chucky and his scamper constantly. After listening to people on both sides, and playing as and against Chucky a number of times of console, I feel there are 2 chains of thought on Chucky, and I think where you fall kinda indicates what type of game…

One thing that was overdone with Distortion...
EDIT: Nevermind! The buff to 15s charge is better than this suggestion! Plz ignore! 🤘 Starting with 1 stack instead of 2 makes it pointless. It should start with 2 stacks. OK, so I'm among the group of the opinion that Distortion requiring chases to get stacks back is a good thing... Even the time isn't bad to my mind,…

As a Pig Main, I feel manipulated...
I mean they gave us two snoots... how do I not? They even gave us glowey eyes. Can I live with myself? Knowing I've bought a Pig cosmetic so brazenly designed to shamelessly tickle ever last Pig nerve I have just right? One that actively contradicts my characters own stealth gameplay and nerfs me by proxy? A skin I…

Let's talk about Ghost Face
So I know for a fact I'm not naturally gifted at this killer. I play Myers and Pig quite often, but I'm kinda clumsy and on those killers, as I've been getting paired with better and better players I dont have time to try and be careful and sneak up... more often my stealth gets found out anyway, and so it becomes…

Holding breath for the next Dev Update...
Now the PTB has closed, gonna be real interesting to see what comes of the next Dev Update... offhand the things I'm anxiously waiting for: - Corrective Action will change how? Skull Merchant to die confirmed? Finisher Mori going through? In what form? Unknown going to stay more sluggish after TP following basekit buff but…

One thing I'm potentially excited about for 2vs8...
These "classes" for killer... I'm trying to think how they would work, and my main thought is that the character based skills (basekit add-ons) and the shared killer skills would change based on the class of killer you're playing... Before we had the: - Share Skill 1 - Survivors entering chase are revealed for 5 seconds.…

Better Than New: Give it a new niche!
Preamble (Skip to Rework below for TLDR) After all the buffs on various other healing perks, of the healing perks in the game Better Than New is just laughably useless... even if you made the effect permanent instead of losing it on getting injured, it'd still be a very poor perk... While looking at medkits the other day,…

Positively thinking about Skull Merchant's direction...
So I'm very saddened to learn how Skull Merchant is being gutted, especially with the time and effort I've put it to rewrite her lore, and the various suggestions and discussions I've been involved in to try and improve her functionality... I'm even more saddened with how many people I respect in the DBD community…

Move Memento Mori to a perk?
As an Exp offering player, I am indifferent to the Finisher Mori change because I almost never use Mori's... now I actually might use mori offerings... The objectively true objections to finisher mori I can see are: - Kill players by your own hand challenges get a lot tougher overall. Players lose options to flavour their…

Game: Name the Survivor/Killer Perk Equivalent!
Survivors and Killers constantly argue between each other and rarely see eye to eye, fighting each other cat and dog while trying to argue who has it better/worse. We have plenty to argue about, and we have a strong mix of good perks, meme perks, funny perks, and perks that leave a lot to be desired... so in the spirit of…

Rewriting Skull Merchant's Lore
TLDR: Original: Revision: Revision V2: It should just be link required to access, but do let me know if there are any access issues! Guff: Hi all! Just to try and get to the point, the Skull Merchants lore could do with a revamp, and while I'm not a professional writer or anything, I've always had an interest in stories…

Would it benefit the game for perks in SWF to be unique?
I know that Survivors are gonna pitch a fit at me… but I'm not trying to ruin the SWF experience, so plz do hear me out first… My suggestion is: You may only take 1 of each perk throughout the whole pre-lobby team… For SoloQ, obviously anything goes, you take whatever you want, no limits… However, the more of you that are…

Game Balance/Skill Conundrum: Mind Games vs. Mechanics
Hello reader! I hope to take you on a thought journey that is hopefully as fun to read and it is to write. 😁 Intro DBD is one of the most interesting and unique games I know. I've played all kinds of video games since I was 5 across multiple platforms, and the mind games and mechanics of DBD are the most unique of any…

Are Balance discussions in 2vs8 pointless?
We all have our opinions on 2vs8... I love it personally on either side... However one thing I've noticed, especially on Killer side, is this game mode is a totally different beast to regular DBD. There are certain elements that cross over, but if I would use a word to describe the game mode, I would pick bonkers. I…

I swear Plot Twist is the GOAT perk...

It's healing effectively has a built in Bite the Bullet. You can heal while pausing Pig Head trap timers. You can heal…

Did 2vs8 look a little hard to anyone else?
It looks awesome, and I'm so glad my main man Evan is in it. Teammates and meta be damned, you bet I'm playing the Trapper 😁😁😁😁 I was looking at the survivors classes, and they look pretty good... got some decent equivalents to perks there... no noise on unhooks, self heal when on death hook, all good stuff.... However I…

Myers Thematic Buffs - One Last Time
I love Myers, even though he's a weaker killer. He is one of, if not THE best realised thematic killers in DBD, and with his update coming up, and I really don't want to lose that about him. With discussion around him now actually having traction, I thought I'd bring up my rework for Myers (with updates) one last time,…

Suicide on Hook Prevention: Lore Accurate and Kobe
BHVR have stated they would like to address this problem, but don't have a good solution to fix it.

The principle behind making it easier to prevent SoH…

Shattered Hope Buff Concept: Passive for Broken Totems
On top of it's base effect of allowing you to break boons, how about giving Shattered Hope a passive that empowers the killer the more totems that are broken? Something along the lines of, for every currently broken totem the killer gets a bonus, such as: - +3% bonus gen regression on every gen kick. +8% bonus to vault,…

Survivor Items: Maps and Keys are actually good but have the same issues
So I've been trying out Map and Keys more, and both of them can actually be comparably good to toolboxes and medkits (which for the sake of your reading time I'll highlight below)... but both of them suffer from the same problems: Their effects (unlike flashlights, medkits and toolboxes) are inconsistent between rarity.…

You get 2 Quick Fire Killer Changes
You get 2 changes you can apply to any killers you wish... what matters the most to you? Trapper: Basekit: spending an additional 1.25s setting a trap will rig the trap, and wound a survivor who disarms it. Basekit: Opening a locker will grab a trap and despawn the further unopened trap in the map on a 45s cooldown. Shape:…

Twins Rework - Victor Scramble
The classic problem of Twins is slugging. Victor used to have a massive 5s recovery when injuring with pounce to mitigate this, and it felt awful. The 7.7.0 buffs reduced this recovery from 5s to 2.7s. This of course makes Victor a slug God... He can crawl up survivors butt's and just mow them down with little that can be…

Your Top 3 Killer/Survivor weak perks to be updated next?
Next PTB, what 3 perks you got for either side to get buffed?

My Trapper buff shortlist
Trapper's basekit trap carry limit increased by 1. When opening a locker with an available trap slot, Trapper will grab a trap out of locker. The furthest trap from Trapper will despawn the furthest unset trap/furthest set trap from Trapper. This ability then goes on cooldown for 30s. While setting a trap, Trapper can…

Which killers are actually fun when players go against the Killer stereotype?
There are a few killers who carry a stereotypical reputation that is born more of the players playstyle rather than the killer themselves. Examples of offenders: Wraiths who hit and run between tunneling the same survivor off hook. Spirits hard tunnelling survivors off hook. Blight hard stacking slowdown perks, tunneling a…

Nightmare: My Overambitious and Unnecessarily Complicated Rework Alternative
First Order of business... GeneralV trumps literally everything I say here! Of course, we all know that the man, the myth, the legend, our very own @GeneralV is the real voice of the Nightmare, and his rework I fully support. Even with my own personal preferences regarding Freddy, very few people have put the time in that…

Can I have perk charms for both sides plz?
When you take a character to level 9, you unlock that characters perks as charms. It's a small thing, but nice. However unfortunately you can only use Survivor perk charms on survivors, and Killer perks charms on killer hooks. I don't have a good argument for it... but I'd just really like to use my killer charms on…

Vecna: Flight of the Damned skillshot buff
Been wondering if Vecna would benefit from Flight of the Damned having the central Skeleton being slightly larger and able to hit survivors crouching. Would make it a little easier to still hit at locked animations if aimed well without needing the timing to be so perfectly precise. Ofc still early days yet, but I have a…

Thoughts on Semi Tunneling to Psyche Out Survivors?
Just fancied sharing a little story, and I was wondering if anyone else does this? So I was playing Spirit the other day in Chaos Shuffle, and I had a Felix using a purple flashlight, full add-ons.
