btw i meant to say understatement instead of underestimation
anyways, hope u enjoy the video :3

Let’s gooooooo
We blinding the killers with this one
no wonder killer mains say old DBD was a nightmare
what the devs even thinking back then? i mean granted they're still not the best but better than they used to
Absolutely insane to me killers couldn’t handle clicking but, this era of players at least, thinks camping, tunneling, and slugging to avoid hatch is completely fine lmao. The double standards are ridiculous.
I see the goat Tru3
is this c418's the end
..at the beginning?
I can't believed they don't allow you to burn nurse and wraith anymore.
I returned to the game this week and didn't know about flashlight not affecting killers powers anymore. It makes me kinda sad
Even though I understand why they removed it from the wraith I think the nurse should still suffer from lightburn, a unique counter to a killer who doesn’t play by the rules anyways. Not like she needs any buffs 😂
If you're interested, there is a clip of flashlight blinding a hook animation in a video called "DBD Throughout The Years" if i remember correctly
Year 1 DbD – Flashlights require no timing
Year 8 DbD – Flashlights require no timing
either buff the bulb or reduce the rarity, I feel. Honestly, a lot of the items in the game need a look at in terms of power and rarity.
Broken or useless. No in between.
Its more a devolution o7
Flashbangs take more skill
1:35 back in the day, the majority of killers ran shadowborn which made you get blinded faster. you were also able to setup the flashlight so that it could blind a killer in under 0.3ms, so it was a viable strategy back then lol
Legs blind out of frenzy got slept on 😢
feng wasn't in the game in 2016 do you wanna fix the thumbnail??
Just an FYI, you’re able to download and play these older versions if you’re unable to find footage demonstrating these older mechanics.
Flashlights interacting with killer powers was kinda cool.
Epilepsy was just a scapegoat excuse for nerfing the flashlight clicking speed. They really just did it for toxicity purposes.
I love that video of Mathieu playing Hag. One of the most infamous videos ever in dbd. Great video as per usual Sashko!
as a “nice” killer main i never minded flashlights and blinding clicking was annoying but only on toxic teams. i’d never slug or camp or some crazy stuff over it unless it was a toxic team. most games if the survivors are even just slightly normal i give last hatch just to restore faith in the community.
A lot of people look at old dbd through a killers lens but man old dbd was absolute hell for survivors at times. Im just surprised no one seems to think of it how it is (being that it was hell for literally everyone)
all i miss is the old beamer save timing
Now I waiting for evolution of tool boxes
Sashko 👍
this guy always has the best background music choices
you can still blind spirit out of her power when you know where she is and the same for legion and even wesker so its still kinda in the game
Flashlights were not changed after that livestream. If you actually look into it instead of believing baseless rumors from reddit you would know that flashlights were already talked about being changed before that livestream, and they had a Q&A that included that. If you can't fact check that then I'm not sure I trust anything you say.
I hope we get a Dune flashlight someday for a crossover.
Watching matiu get bullied by those Koreans on that international event live stream was really something else. It single handedly got the flashlights nerfed and hag buffed in a week. 😂
flashlights are pretty old he says… im also pretty old you know 🙁
1:49 "man i miss the old animations" what the hell is this? im getting a seizure just from watching lol.
also its interesting that to this day we have certain killer powers that can and cant be interrupted with flashlights.
legion fully gets kicked out of frenzy.
wesker had to charge his dash again.
etc
Btw new dbd as a killer still a nightmare,the game is too much survivor side
2:00 there's a clip of that in Tofu's "Dbd throughout the years" video at 4 :13 if anyone wants to see it
As someone who deals with migraines and since rapid lights do trigger them the flash light spam was nice to have removed. The click also idk how to explain but it was weird to hear and I didn’t like it but it wasn’t a YOUR CLICKING AT ME I AM MAD kinda didn’t like but the sound it’s self. I also remember when I first encountered a macro clicker and dc’ed cause I thought they were a hacker 😭
Сашка-какашка, ты зачем попукал?
After 3000 hours the only thing that keeps me coming back to this game is the flashlight and all the things you can do with it, save, cj, blind the killer mid vault etc. If this item wasn’t in the game, I would have probably got bored. Thanks for the video!
I forgot about instablinds…..i think my brain subconsciously repressed it.
also love how it took Mattheu Cote getting humbled on livestream in order for them to finally take notice, good ole days
