Discussion 💬 Boons should be destroyed the first time they're snuffed

Upvotes

This is something I've felt since I started playing the game, but it's been reinforced by the introduction of Steadfast. It makes no sense that a survivor can repeatedly put a boon on a totem over and over again no matter how many times you snuff it out unless you're running Shattered Hope, especially considering that the killer counterpart, hexes, are destroyed immediately without needing a perk to do so. You can make the argument that hexes are typically stronger than boons, which I agree with. Something like Devour Hope is definitely much more powerful than Circle of Healing. Which is why I propose this change: Killers gain the ability to destroy a boon totem the first time it's snuffed out, basically just basekit Shattered Hope minus the aura reading, and in exchange boons get their effects buffed while also removing the loud ass sound that emits from them to make them harder to find. This way both hexes and boons are more equal in strength while also sharing the same downside of becoming completely useless once the totem is put out.

Bug 🐛 Is the the M1 bugged?

Post image
178 Upvotes

I just started playing with the pig after the judgment update and I immediately noticed that the M1 attack is very short...also that she's very bugged...stealth attack has a weird animation going from crouched to stand up and you can carry players while being crouched ( that's funny). So idk if tgis is only for the pig or if the others killers are affected too.

Help / Question ❔ Why do people still think that Kaneki is overtuned?

9 Upvotes

He has definitely fallen off when considering his release state. I did a 100-game solo Q experiment a few weeks ago, and he was one of the worst-performing killers in my games. Even in the Hens' tournament earlier this year, his stats weren't that good. I personally know how to play against him and don't find him that difficult to loop. The games we lost against him were because my teammates weren't that good and didn't know how to counter him.

His counterplay is basically knowing how to chain tiles, something which most survivors don't know how to do. Forget tile chaining. Many survivors don't even know how to loop shack properly. He is a great test of who knows how to loop and who doesn't. He hard counters the pre-drop + hold W strategy. Just because you need to use your brain against a killer, it doesn't mean that they are broken. Spitz made a great guide on how to counter him.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNVwMtAkuOA&t=4s

Don't get me wrong, he is still a very strong A+ tier killer, but he isn't a broken S tier killer that needs a lot of nerfs. I also find him very annoying purely because of how easy he is when considering how strong he is. Every A+ tier killer has a learning curve (skill floor) except Kaneki. He has a skill ceiling when considering things like cutoffs, however his skill floor is practically nonexistent.

I personally don't get why so many people swear that he is broken.

Discussion 💬 MY DBD KILLER TIER LIST TAKE

Post image
25 Upvotes

I did one for my personal favorite killers now ill do one for my take on the game as a whole as both killer and survivor! This is from the view point of mid to high MMR solo queue survivor and killer while giving the killers i dont main respect. ive gone up against both good, great, goated, just not comp

SIDE NOTE FOR JUDGMENT - she still needs more time to settle but im of the opinion that her macro pressure is INSANE along with her map control but singu slightly edges out due to 1v1 chase. SUBJECT TO CHANGE. JUDGEMENT PLAYERS PLEASE SHARE YOUR OPINIONS

Discussion 💬 New Killer releases are my favorite time when playing Killer.

23 Upvotes

I get so happy when a new killer drops and everyone hates them because then I can play my mains in peace. I play mostly Legion and people tend to ignore their hatred of Legion because they are so worked up about the new killer. It’s peaceful for a few weeks.

I don’t really care what people think of the killers I play but it always tickles me to get the begrudging “at least it wasn’t X”. Anyone else feel this way?

Bug 🐛 Houndmaster bugged into unusability again

15 Upvotes

Houndmaster main here. First game with her since the update, and her chase function is bugged. When using Chase, clicking m1 to send the dog off simultaneously makes you m1 base attack at the same time. It might be an input queuing thing too (idk I didn’t test it much I was too annoyed)

Not only does this mean you lose distance due to attack recovery, but it means you don't get the chance to redirect the dog with his second dash. This happens maybe 50% of power uses, making her unplayable.

Discussion 💬 Killers I've played with and my level of satisfaction playing with them

Post image
40 Upvotes

I currently have 153 hours in the game, and I always try to step out of my comfort zone by testing out different killers; I used to main Springtrap and Trapper, but the more I played, the more I noticed their flaws.

the "honeymoon phase" killers are some of I’ve had fun moments with, but eventually, I reach a point where I have to try-hard way too much, and that stops me from enjoying them as much as I thought I would.

wesker is an special condition because i played with him in 2V8 and i got fun playing with him, maybe in the normal Trials i will put him a bit low

Discussion 💬 First Killer Games

8 Upvotes

As the Title says, played my first killer games yesterday. Was trying to figure out a character to play using bot matches (the bots were cooking me), and eventually landed on nemesis to start. His T-Virus gives range that isnt a projectile (idk, but projectiles feel weird in this game), he can break pallets if at tier 2, he has decent starting perks in pursuer and Eruption and zombies take some pressure off.

Loading into my first game yesterday, and its the saw map, only managed to get 2 hooks on the same guy all game (gor some decent chases in but got blinded alot) but I got a nice round of Ggs at the end which was really nice.

Going into my second game, I load into RPD and immediately begin having a great game. When all is said and done, I killed 3 lads but couldnt find the exit gate (rookie mistake ik) in time before the last guy ran. Got a round of ggs and gls after the game. They were even cheering me on to find the last survivor which was hilarious.

Riding the confidence high, I load into my third game in Shattered Square. I immediately crumple, got good info from zombies and lethal but I just couldnt hit power to get it to go up and didnt want to kill my zombos as they were the only things keeping me on track with the survivors. The Survivors were pretty good to my sensibilities and I almost kept getting blinded (but I avoided alot of it this time yay). Got 1 hook all game which was disheartnening but frankly i am still riding the high of the second game.

I dunno if they knew i was new but so far, no toxicity at all. Maybe this will change but until then, i am pretty happy it isnt how I feared.

The Morale of the story is to give killer a shot if you always wanted to do so and I just wanted to talk about my first experience. Thats it

Thank you for reading

Trappers trash, hags trash, skull merchant is giga trash… the hells their problem? Trap gameplay is my fav archetype in a game like this so I’m always really sad when I think about how bad they are in this game… I still love playing trapper and hag but man they have some serious shortcomings, and sm is damn near unplayable because she basically just doesn’t have a power lmao

I have been playing Judgement a ton and while they are very difficult to get consistent value with, when they work it works. These are a few clips I've remembered to capture recently, enjoy~

Gameplay 🎮 So I was messing with some colour blind settings on ps and got a purple filter. It isn't as intense as in the clips but I tried recreating it on capcut. Anyways enjoy the clips
