Hey everyone, today I thought we’d look back into Dead by Daylight’s past and discuss some of the most controversial changes or updates that have happened. Let’s get into it. I’m not going to be able to cover every single controversial change in this video, because uh, there’s been a lot.
Chapter XXI is a Hellraiser one! The PTB is currently out and features the new killer, The Cenobite, or Pinhead. This is, however, the only content that seems to be releasing with the chapter.

What about Nurse and the change to her base kit?
Imo that was also controversial. Most players were fine with nerfing multiple blinks and removing Omega blink but the changes to her base kit was a different story.
I'm no Hillbilly main, but I tried playing him semi-recently and it's very hard to learn a killer power if you can cause yourself to lose it. I may or may not have missed several chainsaws in quick succession and overheated. I just found it discouraging to use because I was trying to figure out how to curve or feather it around a pallet even if I missed, but then I just ended up becoming an M1 killer again.
As a ghostface player I am glad for the new hud. Atleast for the new survivor icons.
"why would a casual for fun game have mmr?" to have fun? I just started playing on pc, I don't want to play against rank 1 players thank you very much
Great video!! I wish you would have shown the way the HUD/UI looked like back when the game was first released too. Just to see the progression over the years.
I one of people that liked Billy change. In numbers – his basic kit was greatly improved. And overheat is not a bad thing untill you start play DIRTY. So all this change did – it throw off bad Billy players off and imroved his skill related sides. And by how many billy mains left him, we can see that alot of Hillbilly "MAINS" were playing dirty and abusing the hell out of him. Well – too bad for them
Uh hello?? What about that time they changed the auras appearance? Survivors auras looked like X-rays, if you played trapper you couldn’t even see you traps, especially in ormond
Oof, still crying after pyramid head's butt 🙁
I search 3 players to get the trophy with the hatch (I have to do it 2 times one with ps4 version and one on ps5)
Honestly i don't understand why people still complain about hillbilly. I have zero problem any time I play him.
Im surprised that old ds wasn't talked about
I prefered old ruin because it actually made hitting skillchecks take, you know, SKILL to counter the perk
I hope they fix hillbilly
Still not happy with the new animations
You hit the nail on the head with the "The devs just doing what they want" part of your statement. A lot of the time I feel like the devs rarely listen to their community and it's been extremely frustrating, to say the least.
E
There was an update on mobile a few days back, anyway I noticed how hillbilly’s chainsaw is a lot more controllable, I feel like what they should have done at the start was have the chainsaw overheat feature, but also make it so the player can control the movement in a sprint
When they fix pheads rear is the day he is s tier
Please rank killer trailers, that’d be a fun video you can rate the trailer based on how much they represent the killer or maybe just on what trailers made people excited ect.
When you reach 100K you gotta do a face reveal! Also love your content!
Pyramid Head's thicc nerf made me depressed 😔
honestly most nerfs are questionable, like the ds one made it basically useless
I'm surprised the much needed DS nerf was not mentioned
"why would anyone want mmr"
well because i dont want to play killer and face survivors that have a thousand hours in the game and are significantly better than me, who started playing two weeks ago
oh wait
that still happened
so mmr doesn't even work properly at all
i feel like ranks/skill should be determined by how well survivors repair gens, cleanse totems, evade killer swings and dehook other survivors, while killers should rank up for efficiently chasing and hitting survivors while also managing to keep others from repairing too much. it's vary vague, yes, but its something i guess..
Does anyone talk about 'small game'?? the perk that used to detect totems and traps with a audio cue? why did they rework it and how do you counter trapper now??
The Billy change has to be the single most baffling balance change in any game ever made worse by the fact that BHVR just fucking ignored everyone after it
Ahhh remember the auras being too dark/too bright
Also ,,we won" part ahaha I sadly missed that
What about the decisive nerf that made it completely useless, or is it just me?
Why is Freddy's rework not here? It should have been added.
PH’s ass getting nerfed is almost as big of a tragedy as when Snake’s ass got nerfed for Smash Ultimate.
The only Billy change that needed to happen was add on changes.
Honestly the pyramid head story with is rear was an actual war crime. not only did they nerf his THICK VOLUPTUOUS ASS they ignored the community that wanted his ass to be his normal size which on all is really just abominable.
What? No mention to what they did to my best girl (nurse)?
I had 2000 hours on hillbilly before demogorgon came out and yet I still played him, but since his rework I never play him because oni is some what of what hillbilly used to be
The Movement Changes & the new HUD aren't that bad i think people are just too set in there ways.
If they kept Sky-Billy, I would have kept playing.
Forgot legions power change
Remember when they tried to make it where you could make a killer drop someone during pick up by blinding or stunning them at any during the animation
i had so much more fun with match made ranking even when I lost. it felt like I was going against someone equal as me and i'm really excited for the next patch to come out
Rip billy. I never liked you, but you still didn’t deserve what happened to you
