I recently decided that I won’t be playing Dead by Daylight anymore, and wanted to discuss the reasons why. Keep in mind that this is from the point of view of someone who at point played a lot of DBD but now plays very sporadically. Some of my issues consist of matchmaking, SBMM, lack of ranked mode, no significant gameplay alterations, toxic community.

Bro dbd made no changes because of your vid in 2020 💀 as well they make updates to the game modes to keep things interesting, yes the lights out sucked before but they release a v2 to make it far more appealing
That's why I picked a killer like trickster I love throwing the knifes 😊
Ok bye
7:05 to answer your question, Yes. DBDs MMR never resets automatically. You could have max MMR, be an absolute god at the game then quit for years and come back playing like absolute cheeks but the game will still be putting you up against Max players no matter how many games you lose because once you've reached the top band of MMR there's no coming down even if you lost 100 games in a row. The whole system was explained in a vid by Choy, tbh the vid is like a year old so some of the info in it might be a bit outdated but I'd recommend giving it a watch if you're curious about learning how this ass backward system works
why not just join the comp scene, and do some 1v1's? It is so much more fun than casual dbd!
he got that MorePegasus thumbnail 😭
I resonate with a lot of points in this! I've played this game for a good bit, hard to pin point when I started, but I have like 4,500 hours. I think a big thing that tainted the game may have been MMR imo. At least with the classic ranking system I could tell where I was skill wise, and see my progression. Now it feels like the cycle is lose 2, win 1 over and over again, with the win being an absolute stomping (survivor side). The point about playing with friends is also something I agree with a lot. Even if I end up losing with friends I still find it fun just because my friends are there. Overall, really good video going over some core problems!
I've not played in almost 2 years, I have a similar hour count and I was thinking of coming back but these reasons are pretty valid.
For me it comes down to two things.
1. It's kind of stale just doing the same thing over and over and I find myself having to play in slightly unusual ways which is often fun but often unfun too as it usually results in more games being lost due to survivors/killers being on their game.
2. I don't really want to play Survivor unless I have a 4man swf and we do dumb stuff which is only fun for so long. Killer is fine but there are times where I wanted to rip my hair out, it wasn't even anyone's fault it was just a bunch of unfortuntate things; ain't no good putting it down to the survivor's being "cringe" as some people do.
I feel like they turned off mmr
Tbh I felt similar a couple years ago, but I still love playing DBD it's not for everyone and honestly I only play it because of how much time I've put into it. I only used real money to buy 3 characters (ash, Nicholas, and Chucky) so I'm not motivated by how much I've spent on the game because I got it for free from PlayStation years ago and take breaks all the time. I still watch content creators on my breaks tho because I don't want to be surprised when new perks/killers drop. I understand everything you said and I agree permanent new game modes would help, but also making the game more balanced than either side dominating would be great. I miss when red rank meant you were going against the best players and getting that was never easy, but getting ranked up now just for blood points every month is so dumb.
Honestly listening to the conversation you gave here it just comes down to the player base. Behavior could do better and actually play their game, but it comes down to a toxic player base. People ruin good games.
To be fair, the issue with 2v8 is that it wasn't healthy for the game. Killer wait times were around 20-30 minutes, they only had the original killers and it also affected the normal mode's wait times and player pool (aka you'd go against the same few teams over and over)
And on survivor, going against Nurses and Huntresses every single match got boring really fast.
I enjoyed it for the first half week, got bored of it and I dropped the game until the mode was out.
no ranked mode? dude, there is, its what you have been playing all the time, there is NO CASUAL mode on the other hand, where you can play without worrying about MMR, DBD is the only game I know that has no Casual mode, only Ranked mode, and the only game with only Ranked mode that doesnt shows MMR and at the same time isnt built or designed to be Ranked.
It feels like increasingly with more killers and survivors and perks, there are so many strong builds that spec into different aspects of the game like totem/anti-totem builds, healing/anti-heal builds,and more for slugging, tunneling, and gen progression. These builds have become increasingly stronger with more perk synergies that it feels pretty rng at high mmr wether you get matched with a killer or survivor team, that suffers massively from your build or completely counters it, I’ve had games where I get stomped with a totem build then throw on anti-totem perks because “not letting that happen again” only to then run into an anti-heal build and have no useful perks to work through it, you just can’t counter every strong build at once so it feels random if you win or lose based on your perks being good against your opponent or useless
i started playing over a year ago, 2000 hours ;-;
As someone whos played since the game came out i 1,000 percent agree with everything you said. These days killers have like 4 different powers/things you gotta keep track of and its just like why? But i could forgive all that if it wasnt for (as you said) the community being so dang toxic. One of their favorite quotes in my experience has been "well your fun isnt my responsibility." I truly dont see how its fun for them though. Like its fun to afk while 4 people bleed out on the ground? A lot of the community is just toxic to be toxic which is the biggest problem with the game in my opinion. (Dont even get me started on their lack of banning problem people).
play texas chainsaw, new gamemode coming soon. and give the game some love and be honest they have better quality in textures and stuff and gameplay variety, its a new refreshing experience i only have 900 or something hours on dbd but and hooked on tcm with 300 so far
Because the community is trash…the game community use to be so wholesome. Now everyone plays like their sadomasachists…if only these people could be banned. And we all can just have fun like we use to
Don't apologize for the hours stuff, otz is a shill and has to lie about it. 10k hours of being ass won't make You good. Lets stop promoting that myth.
