Dev Update Feedback (from the perspective of a killer main)
Hag changes are pretty good for like the 3 people that play her I suppose, so fair play there. Demo and Doctor's buffs I'm also okay with. But uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, the rest of the killer changes? I dunno man. I'll detail my qualms below. Clown Buffing him on paper is a good thing, but these buffs don't really succeed at…

Would you change map offerings, and if so, how?
To start with, allow me to justify why I believe map offerings need to be changed. RNG is important in DBD. When you remove randomness in map selection only for one side, then that side gets to completely cater their build(s) towards that map and gain a massive advantage right off the bat. This is especially a problem on…

Why kill rates are so high
Lately I've felt my kill rates have been very high, so I sought to find out why. I tracked 4 different sessions on the last patch (6.1.1), each spanning 5 games. I played Blight every game, no add-ons or offerings. My build was Shadowborn/Agitation/Pain Res/Tinkerer, and I did not camp or tunnel. Combined results below:…

My personal fix to camping and tunneling
Tunneling I think a big problem is the lack of a positive incentive to not tunneling. Currently, the only benefit to not tunneling anyone is feeling like a nice guy, and being a nice guy inherently decreases your chances to win. Personally, I think factoring in hook count into MMR gains/losses would be a big incentive,…

Pain Res doesn't work on blocked gens
I know blocked gens can't undergo normal regression, however Jolt has historically always worked on blocked gens, and Pain Res works on the same principle according to the in-game descriptions. In trying to combo Thrilling Tremors with Pain Res, I discovered that blocked gens are not affected by Pain Res. I tested it with…

Prestige should still be optional
I love the new prestige/teachable system for the most part, but the one problem I have is that farming add-ons is just awful now. Forcing a reset to baby bloodwebs with low tier add-ons is going to be a massive annoyance to the average mid-tier killers who rely on their add-ons to function well, so I think one of two…

New BT and Off the Record are OP
So by now we've all seen the dev update, and I can say most of these changes are incredibly welcome, so thanks BHVR! That said, with all positives comes their share of negatives, so let's get into the nitty-gritty of it. A massive problem BT had for a long time was being used offensively rather than defensively. We all…

Removing Hug Teching
One question: Why? Hug techs are an incredibly essential part of Blight's kit as it stands and removing them just seems ridiculous to me. Hug teching has more counterplay than literally any of his other abilities as it is predominantly a mindgame-reliant trick. If the survivor reads you effectively they can swing outward…

On the "2 Million Logins Per Day" Figure
People seem to misrepresent what the daily login totals mean in regards to the overall size of the game. People talk as if there are 2 Million people playing at any given time, which is not the case. Let's break it down with some rough math to try and put that number into perspective. Nearly 2 Million players logging in…

The problem with MMR: DBD is not hockey
There are a few small topics I want to touch on here, but I'd like to preface this with the obligatory do not harass the devs disclaimer. I'm not trying to direct hate towards anyone at BHVR as I know they're just trying to do their jobs, but I think all feedback is important, regardless of whether it's good or bad. To…

New cheat or just a really bad bug?
Well this is a new one Cheaters may have found a way to freeze my game and get me kicked from a match I froze on a gen pickup for over 30 seconds while survivors were still moving around me (see first clip), then later froze on a hook animation (see second clip). The game was canceled and I was given a DC penalty but it…

Various Killer Buff Ideas
Pinhead: Holding the lament configuration for 20 seconds starts a chain hunt on that survivor and gives a loud noise indicator Nemesis: Marvin's Blood base-kit OR 50% shorter speed boost on infecting hits Twins: Fix Dead Hard Slinger: Moves at 115 Doctor: Discipline Class II base-kit Ghostface: 50% cooldown reduction if he…

Incredibly easy fixes BHVR will probably never implement
CHEATING AND BUGS: Gen/Hook Pickup failure - Add a .25s exit animation for unhooks and gens so people can't bait the pickup and instead have to commit to the animation or run. Speedhacks - Add a server-side check system to verify player speed. Essentially checks if a speed-altering perk is currently active and, depending…

Shrine Discrepancies
Here is a list I compiled as to Shrine perk frequency between killers vs. survivors. I chose 10 perks for each side that I would deem relatively meta (killer really only has 8 imo so I had to add STBFL and Thrilling Tremors, though I cut Detective's on the survivor side for an even 10) and did the math on the average…
