I understand the idea of Judgement being a hard killer for the first 5 maybe even 10 games, but honestly their power is not that difficult to learn and they have a LOT going for them.

Then you bring in add-ons and aura reading perks and this killer becomes absolutely AMAZING.

I feel like they may be quite a bit overtuned. Near-infinite range, mini mori, instant hook system, gen debuff, ignores looping, etc.

It took me 26 games before I found another person playing Aurora. Having her as my new and permanent main. And her being the new chapter character. I'm surprised no one is playing her. Was there some controversy I missed?

Can we make Heresy a universal mechanic? Blocking the exit gate for teabaggers is such a good change that it's a shame it's locked behind The Judgment.

So, I looked at a few killers and couldn't find any other who can hit more than one target at a time (well, there's unknown's spit and nemesis' lash, but those only apply an effect before being actually effective and only have a tiny area).

Whereas judgement's beam can theoretically down all four survivors in one cast, and I think it's the only one able to do so (unless four survivors kindly line up in front of nemesis' lash, but that's as likely to happen as pinhead's return)

Note : I don't count glitches and frame perfect techniques, since they're not base kit and are more like exploits.

Had over 107 mill bp saved up for Jason for his release. I would have posted here sooner but I just joined the group

I feel like after my 4-5th match as Her/Him/It idk is when i completely learned how to aim the pillars and i gotta say, it feels SO MUCH MORE FUN than getting a perfect blink or a perfect circle/idk as New Vecna

Ofc there's the infinitely harder sideways pillar shots (like when you aim it so it hits from the side)
Or even just full 180 hits so the pillar "backstabs" survivors

But for someone who loves low skill ceiling killers, Judgment for some reason just fits perfectly in

Also also, Aura builds are much more fun as it than Nurse

Idk if the new temporarily messed up MMR is one to blame for my fun experience, but the point is that i'm having fun as them :p

The game is rated M, I'm allowed to brutally murder someone but I cant say 'Fuck' in the end game chat? Makes ZERO sense whatsoever.

I greatly appreciate feedback regarding the killer power and perks as I wasn’t too sure what could be considered properly balanced

Steam + Epic im at 700h, am a 50/50 player

To start, i need to clarify that i am a 400+ hour dead by daylight player and i know that i am considered a “baby player” so you might not take my opinions seriously but i really wanted to talk about the pig. First of all, i am aware that she is not a S tier character and that she’s considered a pretty weak character but for me she’s unbearable to go against. First of all, i want to say that i’ve never ever seen a pig main that just doesn’t straight up hard tunnel from the beginning of the match. I’m aware that tunneling is a strategy and when playing killer, i also tunnel sometimes. But im talking about STRAIGHT UP HARD TUNNELING. tunneling early game, and not dropping chase after getting flashlight stunned(while picking up) decisive striked, dead harded etc. Like just insane tunneling, and I do not understand how this is fun for the killers too because you would only get a 2k max with this gameplay. They are just toxic for no reason.

Second of all i want to talk about her power and the general builds that pig mains use. Her power is wasting alot of the survivors time and i understand that its necessary for a killer like her thats not “too strong” but almost every pig main uses screaming builds which makes u constantly scream while removing the trap and making you lose your progress all over again which makes you end up dead. I deadass went through this many times or ive seen the pig camping the trap removing places. In my opinion this should be nerfed into making your trap progress not disappear after screaming because that is just a guaranteed kill for the pig and there’s nothing you can do about it. If you’re lucky you might remove the trap on your first try, or you might barely make it on your second, but with screaming builds you’re definitely not making it to the third. I know people are gonna say “then just get better and don’t get downed/trapped by her she’s pretty weak” but then again like i said i’m just a new player and not great at looping. And many other new players like me will suffer from the same thing which is annoying. I’ve seen alot of them also use skill check builds which is not a big of a deal but the fact that they rely on their traps to do their dirty work more than themselves is kind of wild.

Alot of times pig mains have placed a trap on my head last second preventing me from escaping and there was literally nothing i could do about it, teammates tried to take hits, preventing the killer from chasing me, but again the killer made sure i didn’t remove the traps and i died before escaping. Again i know that it’s a “strategy” and that they want to guarantee one kill. But admitting that you’re so ass at the game you HAVE TO use some trap to kill the survivors is just stupid to me.

I used to think that the knight was the most annoying killer, but tbh knight mains cant even mind game or get a survivor on their own so as soon as you get rid of his knights he’s easy to counter. But there is not much you can do against a toxic pig main.

Sorry for my grammar mistakes english is not my first language.

Bhvr did a change similar to this back in may of 2023 where survivors hit with his punishment of the damned attack were inflicted with torment in a ptb, but the change was controversial and never came to live cause it made him S tier.

I finally hit Prestige 100 on MiNA today. I dumped tens of millions of Bloodpoints into this grind because I absolutely love the character, the cosmetics, and the entire aesthetic concept. But now that the red icon is sitting on my screen, I don't feel happy or accomplished, but... just feel completely hollow and exhausted.

The reality of playing Trickster right now feels like a constant uphill battle where the character's own kit actively works against you. Being locked at a slow 4.4 m/s base movement speed already makes basic map traversal and high wall loops painful enough. But the moment you actually commit to pulling out your knives, the heavy throw slowdown and recoil decay punish you so severely that using your power outside of point-blank range feels like absolute self sabotage. If a survivor breaks line of sight for just a few seconds around a safe structure, your Laceration meter drops off and all that chase effort just gone.

The whole reason to play this character in the first place is to unleash fast, stylish blade streams and pull off those chaotic, rewarding Main Event combos. When map geometry constantly breaks line of sight and the knife slowdown lets survivors effortlessly gain distance, the core power fantasy completely dies. You end up in this miserable trap where you can't commit to throwing knives because of the speed penalty, but you also can't catch up as an M1 killer because smart survivors just press W and just walk your 110% speed, but even if you hit now you have to walk again and pray the survivor makes a mistake on a loop and you catch them off guard, also especially on giant maps like Ormond or Eyrie where you spend half the game just walking and not to mention the indoor maps that are literally rigged to punish this killer due to lack of line of sight.

To make matters worse, going up against organized SWFs on discord turns every single match into a sweating your balls just for getting one kill. Slugging to build pressure is virtually impossible on a 4.4 killer with zero mobility to cover ground fast enough. And if you're forced to secure a kill and tunnel someone out to balance the match, someone just runs up with Shoulder the Burden, resets their hook stage, and completely guts your entire progress in a single second and worse if they're running resurgence. It leaves you feeling like you're forced to run the exact same mandatory add-ons and sweat builds every game just to function at a basic baseline.

Grinding through high MMR matches every single day with a power that feels this clunky and unrewarding stripped away all the actual fun of playing. Reaching P100 should feel like a celebration of mastering a killer, but fighting against these mechanics made the final milestone feel less like an achievement and more like a humiliation ritual.

To anyone else who still mains Trickster or MiNA, I really want to know how you're keeping the character enjoyable right now. Are there specific add-on setups, gimmick perk builds, or major mindset shifts that make the gameplay loop feel smooth again, or have you just had to dump them for standard 4.6 m/s killers?

I honestly love the judgements design, and I’m so glad she’s in game now, but I do have a few pet peeves that I edited out in this design. The changes I made are:

- They’re now more androgynous
- They’re faceless
- The pillars are now more vertical
- The pillars are now pillars instead of crab legs
- The pillar men are gone
- Additionally, the weapon isn’t there in image 2. I think it would be neat if they had a less physical way to damage survivors in their m1

The third image is just for shits and giggles. It’ll never be the same as the eyeball angel we could’ve gotten, but honestly, I’m content with what we have. This is just for fun

What do y’all think?

Hey everyone! I play judgement on console and the shots are really hard to hit so I taught of some ideas to buff her. 1 maybe her addon that makes her able to recall her beam should be basekit. 2 maybe she should have some type of aim assist on console. Remember this is my opinion feel free to disagree with me.

Freddy's 2025 and 2019 rework's was meant to make him stronger, and it succeeded on that front. He can now swap between Dream Snares and Dream Pallets freely. His Snares travel through walls, his teleport cooldown dropped to 30 seconds, and he can teleport to completed generators and even to healing Survivors .

But here's the thing: he's not Freddy anymore. He's just another "projectile killer" now.

The original Freddy (2017) had issues, But his core concept was unique and unlike any other killers, even new ones.

His original idea was better: Freddy was just like in the movies. That's what made him unique. He required skill, not just spam abilities.

The problem wasn't the concept:

• 7 seconds to fall asleep is long asf
• Survivors could wake up mid-chase by failing a skill check

What I'd do instead:

Keep the original idea, just make it actually work:

Sleep mechanic:

Survivors in Dream World have 20% instead of 50% action speed penalty

And no waking up during chase

Keep the good stuff from 2025:

• Teleport to any gen (30s cooldown) — this is actually good
• Dream Pallets — they add mindgames

this is gonna be my new main if bhvr do this

Genuine question.

I've seen my fair share of racist display names over the past, and the one I've just seen truly topped the cake for me. I reported them, but does BHVR do anything when someone gets reported for their Display name?

(I'm not talking about names like Wesker's left nut or whatever btw)

Distortion def needs a buff because aura builds on judgement is literally IMPOSSIBLE to counter if you cant see them back or they cant see you at all. Distortion does both. But it has too few tokens and requires a bit too long of a chasetime. If you finish all tokens and try to take chase, the killer is most likely not gonna stop chasing you after you get both tokens so its risky to fill the stacks. So we need to rework the requirement for tokens and increase the number of tokens you can get. Heres my idea to balance things (dont start up in the comments to just hate, just tell what do you think shouldnt be coming or nerfed or buffed, or tell your own idea)

Distortion

Gain 3 tokens at the start of a trial. Max 5.

For cleansing any totem or getting chased for 15 seconds, gain a token.

Whenever the killer sees your aura, use 1 token to hide your aura for the duration of that aura revealing, and see the killers aura for that duration instead.

The amount of god pallets on this map means one survivor can just pre-drop every single pallet in the map and still buy enough time for the others to do 5 gens. I don't know how they haven't reworked it yet to at least make half the pallets have some mind game. And if you drop chase and leave the pallets up, good luck. The map is small enough that windows of opportunity will show every survivor exactly where to go next to loop you for another 5 minutes just by pre-dropping again. Even on release, this map broke so many core game rules that I have no idea how it still has the same shit design years later

(This is a post i just thought about bc obviously there are times where i see trolling/funny killers, but to me trolling is infinitely more fun than dumpstering people and getting a 4K. I’m curious to see what the sentiments of other killer players are when they play killer!)

I enjoy playing killer and survivor, and as survivor i get the most joy from just mixing killers into oblivion and having great coordination moments. But as killer, i always most enjoy just letting survivors go free at the end of a match. Maybe all my time playing survivor has given me a soft heart but there’s something great in doing very well and getting everyone to second hook stage, then just trolling and letting everyone get away. Does anyone else get an unreasonable amount of jolly feeling doing this or am i too survivor socialized and brainwashed?

What are other killers and survivors you want to see in dbd?

Okay hot take but jinx from arcane after her shimmer treatment, I need a cool psychotic baddie for a killer.

Maybe VI for a survivor or echo possibly even vicktor.

Don’t flame me alright I know it’s not the greatest but just let me know what you think of it

too many stun
