Hey everyone, today we’re ranking every killer rework throughout DbD history. When it comes to defining a rework, we’re talking about a substantial change or number of changes that have happened in one go and that fundamentally alter how the character plays.
At the time of this video’s release we are approaching update 7.5.0, having just had the PTB. Chapter 30.5 with Alan Wake releases soon!

I am a true hillbilly main since the 2nd year I still thought he was powerful after overheat was added I hated when people said rip hillbilly when most people were to lazy to see him to his true potential man and now everyone likes him cause he’s strong again I played him before the new power was cool I was always there for billy
7:28 that’s what she gets for running self care (5th killer perk confirmed)
I think you've forgotten about Wraith rework that happened at the same time as clown's one. It basically turned the worst killer in the game into a pretty decent reliable pick. (Scott Jund's seal of approval)
Idk. I hate clown rework. Of course its fixed him a bit, but not enough to upgrade him from joke. And i hate yellow bottle, cause without addons it is useless. Whats the purpose to speedup yourself for miliseconds instead of slowing down survivours? Its literally tge same.
Im still waiting for yellow bottle removing and his 1 bottle to have both effects. That would make everything much better.
I personally didn’t really care about most of these reworks, only ones I hated where the two reworks for skull merchant, the first one for onryo and the one for hag. Also I don’t know what to think about overdrive yet, but at the moment I kinda tend to not liking it as well, but we‘ll see how it will turn out.
As a deathslinger main prior to his rework, I do have to say that I still feel a bit robbed seeing how bad the terror radius nerf is. I get longer ADS activation and deactivation, but I don't even use it that often, I prefer going in with perks like unrelenting and trying my darndest to play stealthily even now, which I can thankfully sometimes still do thanks to Tinkerer. Prior to the rework, I could sometimes surprise survivors, but nowadays they hear me coming from miles away and I can't really play like I used to, so it ends up too often to be games where I mostly lose precious time being distracted by one survivor on a loop where I can't exactly punish even with the ADS. And yes, let's not forget the addons that barely do anything, really. I get that it's fairer to survivors and yes, maybe it was needed, but I totes understand why many Deathslinger mains stopped playing him altogether as I nearly want to. A bit too harsh of a major nerf in my opinion.
I haven't played Dead by Daylight in a while. I played the first Sadako rework and honestly didn't care for it, but the new rework might actually get me back into the game!
The Billy Overdrive Rework isn't only a really good rework but also the perfect example for the gaslighting of bhvr. They told us only Chainsaw Billy is a problem and gave him his Overheat mechanic so you get punished for using ur chainsaw too often. And now they even reward you for the same way to play as you got punished before? Makes sense to me. Anyways I'm looking forward to this because it seems Billy can finally get out of his deep hole and has another time to shine
Hillbilly getting the most obnoxious and annoying yell of all time, when using his chainsaw makes him no longer scary at all, and in fact, quite annoying to play or hear. One of the worst DBD changes in history.
That and the new injured running animations for survivors.
Blight had what Chuckys pov should have been💀
I still love Chucky tho
Sadako’s stack rework is pretty much outdated since they gave her an unnecessary nerf 🙁
Ur cat is so cutee
I fucking hate you BHVR
This is probably a strange question but I am strangely curious, what was the method you used to find the information for this video? I can't imagine actually having went through every DBD patch in the game just to see what reworks happened.
God i miss the old freddy
“The rework sucked Billy dry.” No, that was me, sorry 😏
Spoke a bit too soon for the new sadako rework
Personally I'd add Pig's "Key rework" as a "good" one.
Prior to it each trap had a pre-determined box containing the key making it incredibly RNG dependant and potentially more or less shutting down the whole power due to bad luck (it also allowed that cheese strat of spawning Survs with traps and body blocking a box which while unreliable wasn't fun to face).
But now when the RBTs require x searches rather than finding the right box it feels far more reliable.
I miss old Freddy i loved the mind games you could do!
aaaaaand the day of this vids release they announced they nerfed this new version of sadako into the ground
I will never forget Billy’s rework patch notes💀
Basically what they said: Yah, Billy has a high learning curve but is rewarding and is fun to both play as and against Billy. Very balanced character. So here’s how we nerfed him into the floor!
