REACTING TO The New DBD Patch Update 8.0.0 (ITS BAD!)

"We noticed that killers desperately need gen defense and often use gen defense perks, so we nerfed gen defense perks. Don't camp and tunnel!" - BHVR, probably

"Pain Resonance finds itself in almost 40% of all loadouts, and is one of the most effective perks in the game. We want to make this Perk less of a clear option for all builds" And what are the options that you guys are giving? wtf is this language? these devs are terrible at their jobs, they nerf things to force people to use less but don't give them options, go buff other things and people will consider using it jesus christ, there is a reasong why is in almost 40% of all loadouts a very obvious one and these guys don't know how and why data works for F sake.

"Not difficult to activate" gives off the same vibes from when they said "you simply have to hook the survivor" in a livestream like a year ago or sum 💀

At this point just add the killer bots already since clearly they don’t want killer players anymore. Can’t wait for this game to die when survivors realize how boring going against bots are, then wonder why they left in the first place. The devs suck at balancing this game for all sides bro….

BHVR: "Hey lets keep buffing gen progression perks and items every patch" Also BHVR/Survivors: "Why is everyone is using gen slowdown". It's almost impressive how little people understand cause/effect in the dev team and community. I also like how every patch note we see the devs saying hooking survivors is easy but the last time we saw a dev actually play the game they literally got 0 hooks and 2 hits the entire game.

I say this every patch: if you prefer Killer in DbD; just quit. That's what the devs want.

They keep nerfing Gen slowdown but not Gen rushing. Do they even realize why pop and pain res were popular in the first place?!

The BHVR cycle Step 1: Gens get done fast Step 2: See killers use gen slowdown perks Step 3: Nerf gen slowdown perks Step 4: Repeat steps 1-3

The balance portion of this update is genuinely terrible, the devs really are completely lost. I recently made a video about how a potential solution to a lot of these balance problems could be by implementing a currency system similar to the Pick 10 system from Call of Duty. The direction of this update specifically really reinforces a lot of what I said in that video. I also have a suspicion that the devs nerfed the best gen defense perks in the game only because they plan to add a new one in the upcoming DLC and they want to incentivize sells.

"We are nerfing these meta perks, except for survivor which will get a slap on the wrist along a side buff."

Your face on the scamper for Chucky was exactly my face reaction lol

People will keep cycling through which ever is the best gen defence combo, until bhvr nerfs them all into the ground to the point where you literally can't take gen defence perks.

I don't even play this game anymore and these patch notes piss me off

Let's just stop play this game, It's not worth our nerves.

Unpopular opinion: They try to get rid of old players, because old killers obviously leave eventually, old survivors either fill that spot (and will understand the frustration) or be bored by super long queues, so only new people will play the game. For how long though?

I've never really voiced my opinion much until now: BHVR wants to make all the killer players turn into AI. The rate at which killers are leaving this game, or switching to only playing survivor is astronomical. I don't get it, I love this game, it's so much fun and the content is fairly well made. What I don't like are the constant issues surrounding the way people are told to play the game rather than being given options. There are about 10-15 perks that get used in almost every single game. Why are people being encouraged to play the same perks every single match? B H V R. You're forced to run these perks or you have to worry about losing every single game. This community has these devs in the palm of their hands. Survivor only players are the reason this game is in turmoil. Stop nerfing things that don't need it, stop buffing things that aren't needed. Make DBD fun again, more balanced, that's all everyone in the community who cares about this game wants. Something needs to change at BHVR.

But now Chucky is really one of the worst killers in the game. 110 speed and what? What can he do good now?

Chucky is dead, pain res is dead, pop is dead, background players is probably stronger, buckle up is also probably just as good. Typical devs blatant survivor bias but no its only crybaby killers

So glad I stopped playing killer because its obvious the devs hate killer players, they always change things if survivors find it boring or frustrating but never for killers

What is more difficult than hooking a survivor as killer? Isnt that the overall goal of the killer? I understand nerfing Pop, but make the explanation make sense. "Conditions arent difficult" is absurd-level thinking.
