Does Sadako do Anything?
Genuine question, because I'm not sure her power functions. I can teleport around thirty times, focusing down one survivor holding a tape which should passively build condemnation, and nothing happens. It's possible I just don't even know how the killer works anymore after at least two full reworks, I'll admit, but it…

Do You Think the Unknown is Undertuned?
I really do enjoy the Unknown, everything they can do is great… But they feel ineffective, powerless at times. It feels like the UVX projectile is unusable at many tiles, and at tiles where it's only usable because of ricochet, then it's entirely luck-based as the bounce physics are unreliable when applied to anything but…

Why Does Everyone Point to Lady Dimitrescu?
Whenever people talk about a third RE chapter—I should clarify, this discussion isn't meant to be about whether a 3rd RE chapter should or shouldn't happen—they always bring up Lady Dimitrescu from Resident Evil 8. …Why? What about her is so compelling? I understand she was big in the marketing and she's popular, but she…

The Greatest Woe of Solo Queue
Have you ever played a round of SoloQ that is genuinely disheartening? To set the stage, we were on Dead Dawg Saloon, and the killer was a Knight. Now, this should immediately prompt any cunning survivor to discern which generators might pose a problem of potential 3 gen situations, or even just two generators that would…

Have the Devs Said Anything About Buckle Up+For The People?
If I recall—though I doubt my memory is all-encompassing—nothing's been said about this pretty overtly problematic combination. Surely they don't mean for this to be kept in the game, not if things like hug tech—which increase killer skill ceilings without, so far as I know, being problematic—are getting removed. Surely…

Do You Think the Anniversary Killer Will Be Licensed?
For two or so years in a row, we have seen BHVR place their own, original chapters in the position of the vaunted Anniversary release window, with the Roots of Dread and End Transmission chapters. These chapters both featured rather unique killers with macro-focused powers and non-humanoid forms, however, these killers…

Revert Deathslinger's Nerfs
Deathslinger's nerfs came from a bad place. Not all of them were bad--the second of recovery after dropping ADS is good. However, Deathslinger's entire design was fundamentally misunderstood by both the developers and the playerbase at large, leading to the incorrect notion that his main point of counterplay was ever meant…

The Only Two Killers who Need Complete Reworks
It's often said that Skull Merchant needs to be deleted or remade from the ground-up, no similarities to her current power. This is wrong, of course, the power genuinely just needs a little more fine tuning, if even that. People are blinded, really, by not liking her visual design, or her lore, or just her state on…

Singularity and Knight are Desperate for Polish
These are two killers I adore that just feel awful sometimes. Knight's issues are easier to solve, as he has three add-ons that can solve his main problems--Knight, at base, sets guards up too slowly to feasibly create longer paths and catch survivors, and when his guards DO start to chase survivors, they're not likely to…

What Do You Think Trapper Needs?
Aside from better grass, of course. I always find it interesting how there are so many different directions I've seen Trapper taken in possible reworks, ranging from small changes like undetectable at trial start, or covering traps in map-appropriate camouflage, to more drastic things like emphasizing his connection with…

Nemesis is the Worst Adapted Character in Dead By Daylight
And, no, Freddy is not a valid counterpoint. Freddy, at the very least, has elements of a good adaptation, his Dream Transposition is thematically great and even Dream Snares and Pallets represent the idea of Freddy controlling the fabric of the dream world's reality--if in a lackluster manner. Not to mention that his…

Remove Endurance After Unhook
I have no intentions of denying camping and tunneling are obnoxious. They are, absolutely. But basekit BT doesn't really do anything about that, if you ask me. In fact it makes those strategies more of a problem. The problem with giving survivors no-strings-attached endurance after an unhook is that it doesn't stop…
-
Is Perk Variety Dying?
I've noticed recently that I've begun to run the same five or six perks on all of my killers, most prominently No Way Out, Grim Embrace, and Deadlock. Three objective blocking perks, and then I'll run, say, Sloppy Butcher on M1 killers(not for long), Infectious Fright and Monitor on most others, occasionally Hex:Plaything.…

Pig's Identity Crisis
It's not really a bold, iconoclastic opinion to say the Pig changes look kinda bad. Even if I appreciate the direction of making her less reliant on scumming RBT kills, the buffs to her crouch are only okay and the Ambush buff is like putting frosting on raw dough. Ambush isn't a worthwhile mechanic as it is, even if you…
