  1. First I must've accidently edited out one bit of a video I didn't mean to at 0:11 which is why the topic change jumps randomly. It was saying what pushed me to finally do the video was a question in the recent Q and A the devs did on reddit just to clear up any potential confusion. Amateur hour am I right (sorry it took me 15 hours straight of editting/recording to put this together)?

    I made this video since the Vecna patch, my matches have been horrific on both sides and I've noticed alot of discourse online about it. I anticipated this happening in the patchnotes but I see alot of people not understanding why it's happened so I made this video to try and explain it to those who don't understand (even though I will probably get the DBD mob on me for it). I will return to my regular style of videos after this and have another Sadako meme-esque video in the works for those of you who really enjoy those types of videos.

  2. I am more of a Killer main, trapper actually. Pretty hard one to go on, especially when you actually playing against decent survivors. But when i am playing survivor i am playing Dwight with gen rush perks, to compensate for my awfull running skill and have some fun time hiding against killer. And problem is, that for some stupid reasone, when i had my perks, i can get gen done in 44,6 second or something like this. Thats is f*** insane. Getting survivor help cuts it down to 33 seconds, toolbox too. There is Deja-vu, Teps tokens, aura for survivors and something else which i forgot. Now the problem is when i play Trapper and get gen rushed. Its not just 3 minutes and they are out. No. Its 4 gens done, and 2 99 and then they go try to bully. Wtf.

  3. It’s not that killers are playing like a tournament it’s that survivors aren’t capable of developing their own strategies due to solo queue and lack of communication

  4. thank you for making this vid, people be like "you are just bad because i play killer and survivor 50/50 and win most of the time without using perks like that so you must be trash, meanwhile said people play against potatoes." also devs keep adding more gen rush perks and items while nerfing every gen slowdown on killer. why? because the surv mains cry all the time despite having perks and items on the level of crack cocaine on the daily. seems legit.

  5. Recently I started playing Survivor Perk and itemless to spice it up a bit, and somehow had a blast with it. Meanwhile I cant win a single game as killer for…months now 😅
    To be fair, I dont really like playing sweaty and I am trying to learn new killers, but I cant win on the killers I used to play a buttload ton either recently.
    Best part is when the survivor who isnt even that good tells you to "Uninstall" just cause gens fly 😂

  6. Survivors suffer from the biggest dunning kruger ive ever seen. So they lack modesty since if they win its skill and if they lose the killer tunneled or something even when they didnt. And i know ive exclusively played solo survivor for over a year and the comments from team mates are always the same. They have no idea whats happening in the game other than what they see. Over 50% are running meta and dont even know how their perks work. They teabag at gates even when they were the worse player because even the village idiot can escape a match against a good killer if rng lets them. The main problem is people massively overestimate the "skill' it takes to be good at dbd. And are oblivious to when their play was actually skill or just a generic pallet run. Running a killer with 3 god pallets isnt skill its the baseline.

  7. This again feels like a video of a killer main using the worst possible survivor main as an excuse for a shitty playstyle.
    I get why you're saying what you're saying, but I have 400 hours in this game, I have my moments with looping but generally I am still a baby survivor and I play this game for fun. Encountering sweaty killer running a slugging build after another is not fun. Most of the games I've had were with killers who humped the last downed person for 4 minutes or stood and watched them bleed out for that time. Can we please also acknowledge those killers instead of always thinking of the 5k hour sabo-flashlight-hittaking-bu/ftp-bully build survivors?

  9. my slowdown of choice is mostly deadlock only, mostly with bbq and lethal and enduring or other goofy stuff like furtive chase/friends til the end etc depending on killer. if I feel sweaty I bring corrupt with deadlock, sometimes even eruption when I go for gen kick perks like machine learning or unforseen. but I consistently get survivors with big toolboxes, scavengery 2-3 deja vus which is just free 6% faster gens with no requirements, built to last, pts etc. whenever I complain about killers running 4 slowdowns I remember my killer games and understand why it's getting used. gen speed has been buffed recently to counter 3 genning as a bandaid solution. now that they finally nerfed 3 genning and all slowdown perks across the board….we still are stuck with the buffed genspeed. at the same time if I dare to slug for more than 10 seconds or I get an ounce of pressure on the survivors on a heavily survivor sided map that they also sent me to…they just give up on hook/DC/rage quit and ruin the game for everyone making ke question more and more whyni even GAF about survivor fun in the first place

  10. (Im Russian, EU server right? Just to be clear about game experiences) Played 2016, dropped, back at 2018, dropped, played consistently 2020-2022 dropped. As a competitive spirited player I can't take a lose with randoms being dooche dumb bags. Hurts my soul and its painful to see that people can't get AT LEAST decent in a game where it doesnt take that much to get decent.

    At 1st iridecent rank (back in the days, before 2022 for sure) Each game was a sweat. I loved it. Every second of it. Its a time that I played in 2020 to 2021. It was my longest stay in this game because this time I played group of 3. Me and two of my friends. Each game Nurse, blight, Oni, sometimes other killers. NURSE LIKE 6-7 games out of 10. Other 3-4 blight. It was FUN because it was competitive my friends repair, I loop nurse that like has 4000-8000h played on only nurse, me a guy with 500H managing somehow loop Nurse more than 1 minute. Usually we all die in 2 minutes because Nurse mains chases were 10-20 seconds xD. It was fun. (I played 700H overall that year 2020-2021 with my friends. And as they dropped the game, I did too because its not possible to win without teammates). As they left I played 200H+ for Blight, Billy, Nurse and left the game completely until 2024. (Getting completely oblitterated each match because each game was a SWF and literally out of 10 games I could win 3-4 by HARDEST sweat + LUCK that I have tight triangle on last gen that I recognized from start of match and tried to defend it.)

    When I returned in this game at start of june 2024. I was in disbelief, they added hidden mmr or did something to it. Now when I play on Nurse, Blight (my fav, main) Hillbilly.
    I get lobbies like with guys 20-200H. VERY WEAK players. They dc if I hook first guy about 15 sec in match with lethal pursuer. Now I win 10 out of 10 games.
    My longest win streak on blight was 70+ games on the event of masquarade. AND THAT ENDED IN TIE 2 died 2 escaped ONLY because.

    Eyrie of crows. Decent map for survivors (great i would say). They themselves were decent. THEY WEREN'T GOOD, they just knew how to stick gens and how to spread out before I get back to gen. AFTER 70+ GAMES I didn't expected people to start sweat like that. I was caught off guard. I was afk because of match searching for like 15+ minutes, they repaired 1 gen very fast, The "Q" prompt to break pallets in event broke in that game. I couldn't use it properly, each time I looked at pallet to break and PLAYED OUT OF THAT. Pressed Q, I got anti stun for 5 seconds instead of breaking it.
    I had no gen slow down perks. Only aura perks like Scrouge hook floods, lethal pursuer ( which I didn't get to use because afk), remember me to slowdown opening gates, bitter murmur.
    And the last nail in the coffin was when like at last gen I could win and kill 4 of them. I had biggest momentum to win. but i got flashbang save in shack because I decided to show this game to my friend that joined discord, wasted time on screenshare, and I instantly picked him up (was in hurry to not lose the momentum) instead of patroling and searching lockers.

    I got taste of that old dbd that I knew, for one game. I was mad that I couldn't get 3 killed. But then was like, that what I was searching for… And then gone. For next 20 games nothing. I guess its like now 1 game out of 50+. Where you get SWF. Other games just randoms. Who can't even repair 2 gens. (Sometimes they do)

    As a survivor player I get absolutely different experience that is crazy different from 2020-2021.

    Teammates got worse. They dont repair gens at all. I remember how randoms at 2020-2021 could give you 3 gens when you looped nurse for 30 seconds and you did it very bad.

    Now you can loop killer (which is not nurse or blight 99%) for 2 minutes. Run throught map 2 times, drop shack, drop every jungle gym if there any and still at 3-4 minutes into the match and your first hook, you will get THE BEST 2 gens repaired. and believe me THERE IS NO GENS done until the end. If only I dont get chased so I repair all three gens and still die because at that time they all died too.

    I remember back at 2020 being 13th rank as surv, and get nurses every game. Now in 2024 at 1st iridecent, you get a variety of killers. Blight,Nurse are gone. COMPLETELY. For 350H that i played through june, I got 2 Nurses. WHOLE MONTH playing every day. 2 nurses. and 2+- blights. Oni quite common and getting pretty often in game.

    What I WANTED to say with all that text. That video of yours doesn't show A NEW problem. It show a NATURE of a game that was there from the start. People can't get that you should accept the game how it is. (what they do) cry to the devs to change it so you dont get smacked by Nurse. But that's not how it should be. The only real decision is to add Ranked mode. Because now when they changed matchmaking search, hidden mmr or something. I can't find a SWF when I play killers, its not fun to win every game. BECAUSE THEY ARE LITERALLY BAD. randoms just bad. too bad.
    Ranked will solve the long term issue that was for whole 8 years in the game. Sweat will play with sweat, casuals will play in casual game mode. Thats it.
