I would argue that Unforeseen should be included in the standout killer perks of the year. It's basically a better Trail of Torment because it can simultaneously scare survivors away from the gen you've planted your terror radius onto and help you sneak up on other survivors. I can't count how many downs I've gotten with it because it's concealed my approach by tricking survivors into thinking I'm somewhere else.
My biggest gripe with STBFL nerf is that it seemingly screwed over certain killers more than others. For example Nemesis' initial infection looses you stacks on obsession for some reason despite not injuring them? You also have Trickster and Slinger who simply loose all stacks by daring to interact with obsession. I genuinely don't get how these interactions were deemed "intended interactions" when people were reporting them as bugs.
I don't even mind the nerf honestly, I just find it bullshit how inconsistent it is. Why is it "fair" that certain killers loose stacks without dealing damage to the obsession?
Even with the rework I still hate Haddonfield
They basically took the worst, most awful loops, and replaced them with new dogshit, unwinnable loops
Regardless of our thoughts on Chucky, which i agree with you on a lot of it, amazing video as always pixel.

Love the vid! Pixel, what do you think about DnD in DBD? And what that killer will bring to DBD?
I was so excited when you actually agreed to lend me the mic on this video, I got the opportunity to say everything I had on my mind (minus the fluff of stuff like addons) and hopefully restart the conversation on Trickster a bit in hopes he'll get changed into something that's more similar to his original design. Great video on the whole and I'm happy to be a (larger than you might expect*) part of it !!! 🤵🤵
The maps this year Suck in my opinion like I just sigh when I get them
1:01:02 When you were talking how the killers recently have not been your thing, I was thinking the whole time, “ Adriana Imai, Hello?” I got really excited at 1:01:14 when I realized you were gonna finally talk about her. Also I was hoping you would and got excited when you showed the clip at 1:05:32 from your SM guide, I love that clip cause it’s funny and because I love your laugh. 1:01:20 Epic SM montage btw<3
To be fair, I've got the feeling that Sable isn't from the same "universe" as the Mikaela we have was. We know the Entity can bring people from alternate places via licensed chapters or even skins, so I wouldn't be surprised that it would be the case, explaining why Sable's friendship with Mikaela was important to her, while for Mikaela… Well, why there was no trace of her before she came to the Fog.
Surprised that there also wasn’t a shout out to the art department. The skins this year have been some of the best in the game’s history and a lot of the licensensed survivors and killers look exactly like their movie/in-game/real world counterparts
Chucky may be yucky to some people but we got Jennifer Tilly / Tiffany Valentine in the game. I’m satisfied.
Chucky player here, while yeah removing the 180 degree flick was a bad play from the devs, his dash is still good because of his 3rd person view to maneuver spot to catch survivors off guard. With the upcoming update they can at least buff his slice and dice scamper to be more skillful and more useful along with bringing back his 180 flick
Pixel’s real villain era was revealing he was a stax player. 🤣 For real, wonderful video, and I always appreciate your uploads, even when I don’t always agree. You do a great job explaining your opinion, and beyond the base level of, “I like this, don’t like that,” which naturally can’t be argued, I have always been able to at least see where you’re coming from.
Hux, is single handedly my favorite killer in dead by daylight. and i personally love the way he is played currently, i undertsnad your criticisms, and feelings, but i wouldnt change the killer for anything else myself
I’m sorry Chucky is way overhated. Xenomorph is way more overpowered and unfair. Typical flop video from a Skull Merchant defender.
i still hate hawkins so much that I burn map offerings at random so I dont get it by chance.
One change i would suggest for mangaled is that the timer only goes down outside of chase
Love the rolling stone reference 😊
course a twins main is complaining about unbreakable lol
I miss old Trickster. We need him reverted with some buffs, not an entire rework
dead by rubber bands
I was the random in a 3man SWF today. They DCed as soon as they heard her (Skullmerchant) terror radius. Me and her had a farming round and I wished them some better matches.
I hate Skully, but she's not that bad. I'd rather face her than Clown.
I main Wesker and Artist btw :p
(and Alan Wake I love Alan Wake aaaaaaaaaa)
50:47 "Soble"
I super disagree man with the chuckster. Oh man he's amazing. He's fun to play against and with. Everything from his ability and chase design his perks, the voice lines and Tiffany. What a great killer!!!!
Billy rework is best thing to me. It’s so nice to have him strong again.
I agree that manual scamper is stupid and chucky’s flicks should be brought back, but there is absolutely no way he is a worse design than Knight or Skull Merchant. You are completely over exaggerating Chucky’s design problems. It’s okay for killers to have high lethality in chase, dry scamper at short loops into slice into dice or M1 is silly for sure but it’s absolutely no way on the level of old Legion
Dude is unironically wearing a DBD shirt…
Something personally I would love Year 9 to do is to add voice lines to the OC Survivors (Meg, Dwight, Feng, etc.) so we can expand on their personality and make the gameplay feel more immersive, it's why I adore playing as Alan Wake, it adds life to the survivor experience instead of gen noises and screams.
Greenvilles a terrible map 💀. Too long and skinny, and so many unsafe pallets.
I fully believe the survivors should have novels. This way we can humanize the survivors while also adding lore. And the lack of killer novels would help add the horror because of the fear of the unknown
This year was an absolute *BANGER*, my favourite so far. Here's hoping it's only up from here!
One of the things I'm still sad about is that Dissolution is still bugged, it's my favorite killer perk in the game and it still doesn't work off of a lot of special attacks like merchant claw trap and I rly miss using it 🙁
I barely have any other perks as well so my options are rly limited to just most of the slowdown perks and I'm bored of those but most of my other killer perks just don't scratch the itch dissolution did
Chucky is definitely not the worst designed… I think thats an exaggeration. And its a little weird you would say that when you are the #1 skull merchant defender lol..
(coming from an ex skull merchant enjoyer…..)
Given the fact that I've only read slinger's tome this year, and oni, artist, and ESPECIALLY zarina have some of my favorite lore in the game, the section where you talked about the tomes had me gasping and covering my screen so as not to spoil the cutscenes. Even feng's has me excited! I have so much catching up to do…
Hey, I did watch your skull Marchant guild video. Played her for a few days, i just cant grasp the chase aspect of her, i did understand and use the map knowledge quite a bit tho, but most games devolved into a trap playstile where i would have yo drop her power at every loop. And even playing against her and knowing the counterplay doesnt make her fun to me. But i do respect how you would enjoy playing her. Hell, i enjoy pinhead, (not as much going agaisnt him) but i do enjoy him when most in the community dont like him.
28:33 Scooteybootey is LITERALLY right here bro
Hey asshole when are you going to make that video on maurice?
Pixel! THE BUDGET WENT UP?! YOU GOTTA FIREPLACE AND A MIC 🫣🔥🔥! Strong, strong ❤️💪🏽
Chucky being like that honestly makes me super sad, cause he is genuinely my favorite licensed character. I adore the chuck franchise, and it makes me sad that he's so hated, and it's entirely fair
I say with love for Hux because he really is a favourite killer of mine, but I feel like the design ethos for new killers is really often pick two; Map traversal, short to mid range attack, and a status effect for survivors (mastermind, nemesis, alien). If daring, pick three and make Unknown. If lazy, pick one and make Chucky. I would like to see Dbd expand beyond that space, though I get that it can be hard to find new ways to put survivors on hooks.
Love the set for this vid!
