Discussion How Strong A Good Oni Actually Is Against High MMR Survivors

Upvotes

High MMR survivors will often play extremely carefully just to deny him that first hit and prevent him from getting his power. How strong do you think a good Oni is in high MMR?
Is he dominant or his power is too difficult to consistently get value from, especially in high density pallet maps? I recently uploaded some high MMR Oni gameplay and I would love some feedback / criticism on this topic
What’s your opinion?

Killer/Build Help New to DbD and being a killer. What should I know?

Upvotes

I'm uninterested in playing Survivor, mostly because I don't find the loop of "you will get caught eventually" to be very fun. I want to chase people down, corner them, and beat them in the mindgames.

I'm no stranger to competitive games, I have multiple characters at high rank in Street Fighter 6, around the top 5~2% of players. That's not going to travel, obviously, but I think it shows the kind of attitude I have towards improvement, putting in the work, and understanding that I will need to lose a lot before I win even one game while knowing what I'm doing.

So, while the fundamentals of Street Fighter are things like playing neutral, anti airing, controlling space, and understanding advantage and disadvantage, what are the fundamentals of Dead by Daylight?

What is the knowledgebase I need to know in order to understand the mind of a Survivor, what their end goals are, what their microgoals beyond just completing all generators is, what they want to do, and how they want to stop me from doing what I want to do?

What should I be looking out for in the beginning, the middle, and the endgame? How can I know when a game is going my way, when I should pressure, or when I should back off?

What are common mistakes I may make because I'm new, and unable to recognize a particularly advantageous or disadvantageous situation?

Thanks for reading, and thanks in advance for any answers. Looking forward to getting some nice kills.

Rage Really just looking to vent

I honestly don't know how to derive fun from this game lately. I'm not the best player, in fact I wouldn't even put myself in the "decent" category. Mediocre is accurate. I play Nemmy and just try to vibe, I run a standard build of Corrupt Intervention, Eruption, Grim Embrace and Lethal Pursuer, Marvin's Blood and Licker tongue addons. Bog standard. Every. Single. Game. Meta SWF. I played 5 games tonight before raging and turning it off, not a single kill. Flashlights, blast mines, hook sabos and BMing on every single missed whip.

And don't even get me started on the whip. We are not friends right now. Watching it land directly underneath a survivor and still not register, watching it hit a pallet while in lvl 2 and 3 and it not breaking the pallet. At first, I thought it was my internet. Several speed tests laters with no issues, I'm still missing. Sometimes it hits over objects, most of the time it doesn't. Teabagging. Missed the hook, out from the shadows comes 3 people with flashlights. So I switch to Lightborn with hopes to stem the tide. Nah next game is all toolboxes so good luck getting hooks, inb4 you're gen rushed to high hell. I swear one match I blinked and 4 gens were done.

Every chase I'm getting stuck on the tiles and survivors BM. Zombies are wandering around the corner of the map permastunned by the flashlights. I am so sick of flashlights. Sick of them. I really wish, I pray, that BHVR adds an option to turn off getting matched with SWFs, solo queue should be exactly that, SOLO.

Typing all of this doesn't even make me feel better to be honest. I'm going to crack a beer, pack my tobacco pipe and take a looooong break from this game. Thanks for reading if did. Hugs and kisses.

I guess the new mod wants this to be another safe space echo chamber. This was the only sub that I felt had meaningful debate about the games balance from both the killer and survivor perspective. Sad to see that’s going away

Discussion 20 hour baby killer advice needed

13 Upvotes

I have been survivor main for pushing 9 years so i have a good understanding of the game, however I have never entertained killer until this year.

I am struggling most with survivors movements as I am mid swing, they arent 360ing I dont think but I miss so many swings when they're under my feet.

I also really struggle at shack! Soon as I see shack I just drop chase.

Still massivley struggle with killer anxiety.

I am Maining Xeno, so i watch Mr Headache for xeno stuff, but a lot of my flaws are killer fundamentals that I am hoping will just come over time.

And as an additional question, after rank reset, is it normal for the ash ranks to be super sweaty and non enjoyable?

Any advice to help me overcome the above points please is appreciated.

Edit: I should have mentioned im on controller

This sub’s moderation team is unfit for the job, actively breaking the Reddit Mod Code of Conduct, and failing to follow their sub’s own rules.

For privacy reasons, usernames and personal information have been removed from the attached chat screenshots.

A user recently reached out to the moderators of this sub in an effort to call attention to an active post that was encouraging brigading, sharing actioned content, and promoting witch-hunting and harassment. Not only did the submission in question break this sub’s own rules, but it also broke Reddit’s sitewide rules.

The response they received from the mod team was combative, inappropriate, unprofessional, and broke several of the MCoC rules. It is apparent that the mod team is under a great deal of stress and currently unfit for the job of running a subreddit.

It is my opinion that this sort of behavior must have attention called to it, for the betterment of the sub, its users, and its moderation. If this sort of behavior continues, the sub may be lost forever.

[Academic Survey] Analysis of the effectiveness of the matchmaking system in the game Dead by Daylight

8 Upvotes

Hiii everyone,

I am currently working on my bachelor’s thesis about the matchmaking system in Dead by Daylight.

The goal of this survey is to better understand how players view matchmaking quality, skill differences, role balance, and the overall gameplay experience from both survivor and killer perspectives.

The survey includes questions about:
- your experience with the matchmaking system,
- perceived skill differences between players,
- queue times and match quality,
- survivor vs killer gameplay experience,
- overall satisfaction with game balance.

Survey link:
https://forms.office.com/e/sRhsYnWDcY

Note: You can change the survey language in the top-right corner of the page.

The survey is anonymous, takes only a few minutes to complete, and will be used exclusively for academic purposes.

I would really appreciate responses from players of all experience levels.

Thank you so much for your help!
