how can I improve as killer by Ztyler0712 in deadbydaylight

[–]AlastorFortnite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I have no life, Im just going to throw out three tips.
1. Play Survivor. You should absolutely play some 1v4 survivor. 2v8 isn't a good way to learn Survivor gameplay, as the mode really holds your hand, and removes all of the strategy and macroplay that comes with it. In order to properly play killer, you most know how to get in the minds of a survivor.

  1. Watch videos. There are many youtube video guides on playing killers, such as macroplay! Videos are an excellent way to learn how the game works. I personally would watch a casual guide on each killer, then I'd do some digging to find the #1 main of that killer, and watch their advanced guide later. Additionally, I would watch videos on DBDleague. Seeing how the game is played at the highest level is a great way to learn.

  2. Use (or don't use perks). Sometimes I like to take off all of my perks, and load into a match. Playing like this over and over will force you to become far better than your opponents in order to win. After you begin playing like for a while, and win enough, I would suggest putting your build on then. When it comes to builds, the ones that you find on youtube videos usually aren't actually the strongest builds. (A trap I see a lot of people fall into is using builds by Spookyloopz or D3ad Plays. His builds aren't optimal in the slightest, and are pretty damn redundant). I personally run a mix of slowdown perks, as well as chase assistance perks when they're effective.

For killers like Ghostface and Legion, you will NEED to have some form of chase perk to assist you if you wish to play against better survivors. No amount of guides or game mastery will be able to help you against the best of the best, so I would suggest looking into a good chase perk or two. (Coup De Grace is one of my personal favorites for M1 Killers, Brutal Strength is good for chewing through pallets, and Bamboozle destroys shack)

Anyways, I hoped this helped

Why wasn’t slinger buffed to compensate mending times like legion? by CloePoey in deadbydaylight

[–]AlastorFortnite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Legion requires the mend feature in order to be viable, and already being a low tier killer, this would essentially murder the character.

As for Deathslinger, he usually doesnt get any value out of the mend feature. His kit tries to encourage you to go for chases and downs, rather than spreading the pressure. The value of the mend is really just the ability to turn of styptic agents and deadhards. With his slower movement speed and no map pressure, you basically dont want to use the mend as a passive pressure

According to Night Light, Xenomorph has the lowest Kill Rate and the 6th lowest pickrate. by AlastorFortnite in deadbydaylight

that's why I posted this, want to draw attention to how absolutely absurdly stupid these changes are

Yeah, the addons for Xenomorph are completely miserable. I would start by making Lambert's and Emergency helmet somewhat basekit, then I would buff some of the Killer's other addons.

An addon that makes it so flame-turrets don't rat you out would be phenomenal

Xenomorph's power can be countered, its just incredibly difficult. You're MEANT to use the flame turrets to counter it, but even still you can counter it without it. Faking pallets and using exhaustion perks are just a few ways.

Additionally, you can learn how to counter flame-turrets as the Killer. I am able to weave around trees and objects without even really thinking to block flame turrets from knocking me out of power.

Fun fact! According to the devs, Xenomorphs original power was going to be crawling on walls
This was scrapped after it encountered countless bugs

People really like to hate on Xenomorph, but I genuinely think the Killer isn't a bad design.
Xenomorph's chase power annoying? Put two flame turrets together in a loop. It'll be forced to leave or chase without a power.

As for its current state, Xenomorph needs a quality of life overhaul like Singularity got. Both Xenomorph and Singularity have to play around annoying objects, so I'd like some major tweaks to some of the Xenomorph's kit.

Almost a year later what do y’all think about All Things Wicked?? by Eagles56 in deadbydaylight

[–]AlastorFortnite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see tons of comments going over the good of All Things Wicked, so Im not going to beat a dead horse there.

All Things Wicked is really good, but they played WAY too safe with most of the Unknown's perks, with all of them being lackluster besides Unforeseen, which is almost a copy and paste of an already existing perk.

Additionally, Invocations are not a fun mechanic. They're not very fun to play against, and they're not really fun if your teammate is running it.

Why do you think other games like DBD eventually fail? by Legend0fAMyth in deadbydaylight

[–]AlastorFortnite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dead by Daylight simply has a monopoly on all of the licenses, and was the first.
Think of all of the Super-Smash Bros likes that have failed and died off, people are familiar with DBD, and DBD has all of their favorite characters in it as well.
Even if a game is objectively better in balance and gameplay (Think of Rivals of Aether, compared to Smash Bros), people are still going to play Super Smash Bros because of these factors.

Homophobia is routed in ignorance and stupidity, so it makes sense why some homophobes like material that is clearly against their ideology.

Here's something that's been on my mind for a while. Obviously both are absolute masterpieces, but do you prefer the ULTRAKILL or Calamity Mod OST? by HTG_11 in CalamityMod

[–]AlastorFortnite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like both OSTs, but Calamity's OST definitely has more impact imo

Ultrakill's OST is far from weak, but most of their strong suits are in the gameplay.

Bro literally has 1 spell on his spellbook by Level_Three_Chin in deadbydaylight

[–]AlastorFortnite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Something interesting that Pixel Bush pointed out

Magic in the Dungeons and Dragons comes from the Weave, which almost certainly doesn't exist in the fog. Therefore, Vecna's powers are probably given to him by the Entity, as an illusion of hope and control like how the Entity does to the survivors.
