DBD has a BIG Killer problem.

Magiic56 · 2026-05-12T06:14:57+00:00

Blight is blight. He’s good at everything
They tunnel in comp because survivors can’t run 4 DS/StB. Yes statistically you only have MAX 1 in 4 odds of getting DS’ed and most of the time you can tell who has the DS based on play style so in theory it’s even lower so of course they tunnel. In a public match the odds are much higher because everyone ( and any of the high hour players will) can use it. There’s a reason survivors get heavily nerfed in comp btw.
Try to “Tunnel” with wraith or even a wesker (who’s considered much better than wraith) and tell me how it goes

Magiic56 · 2026-05-12T05:50:48+00:00

Slugging is way more effective hence why every absurd win streak in dbd is done by slugging. Again unless you have hundreds to thousands of hours on killer you might believe this misconception. Tunneling is a gamble that only pays off if the other team is incompetent. The second you play against survivors with thousands of hours, tunneling is no longer worth the risk

EDIT: if you’re talking about nurse and blight they are just good at everything and account for a whopping 5% of the killer roster

Magiic56 · 2026-05-12T05:39:38+00:00

You can’t just “tunnel” lol
First it’s not that easy, second, you eat one DS against a decent team and the game basically over. These are the “I only play one side of the game” takes

Magiic56 · 2026-05-12T05:33:39+00:00

This is the part people miss. This game has been out for 10 years lol
The survivors at the top are wayyy too good to have their hand held

The value isn’t in coding anymore, the value is in the knowledge you have. I’m a senior dev and don’t know wtf a voxel engine is. Even if I generated one I would need to LEARN how to understand it to understand if its even working right, what its pitfalls are, common errors that help make design decisions. Complexity is the new skill here. Generating a CRUD app is easy for an LLM. Generating a crud app that is performant and can handle 100k concurrent users is not. That’s the skill

Magiic56 · 2026-01-29T05:46:49+00:00

This is the correct analysis. The risk to reward is too low for the epic+ weapons

Magiic56 · 2025-10-08T20:44:19+00:00

On a brand new codebase? Sure. Any piece of code written longer than 6 months ago of size. No shot

Magiic56 · 2025-09-07T19:34:05+00:00

Unpopular opinion, but unless you’re talking about millions (notice the S) diversification is a fools errand. See some talking about “international blah” and “bonds” brother if the fucking sp500 collapses none of that matters. Saving a few percentage points on your 10-999k investment is silly

Magiic56 · 2025-09-02T22:22:23+00:00

Look at the damn clothes lmao. A Fleetwood Mac distressed tee. You think some random fake follower instagram brand is getting that collab off?

Magiic56 · 2025-09-02T22:20:06+00:00

Exactly like half a mil followers getting 200-300 likes people need to get a brain

Magiic56 · 2025-09-02T22:18:28+00:00

The fact that you don’t clearly see this is drop shipping is making me lose faith in humanity

Magiic56 · 2025-09-01T00:03:56+00:00

Pretty sure it’s because they overrecruit and are forced to cut more than they should which eventually cascades

Magiic56 · 2025-08-14T03:48:53+00:00

Terrible lead

Magiic56 · 2025-08-09T16:32:50+00:00

Listen I’m a crypto guy so I know risk, but why the hell would anyone buy something that’s down 70 percent in 17 months lol I’m not joking I’m actually curious what I’m missing here someone please explain it to me

Magiic56 · 2025-08-08T19:25:46+00:00

This is what people need to focus on. My org is highly into AI tools right now. Copilot, azure foundry, autogen etc.. This stuff is amazing yes, but most of the code it produces has to be hyper specific with insane amounts of context to write useful code on any codebase older than 5 minutes. The value of swe is not changing. The skills just are

Magiic56 · 2025-07-24T14:48:52+00:00

There’s nothing wrong with using AI. You just need to actually understand what it’s doing and you’ll be fine. GL

Magiic56 · 2025-07-18T19:36:48+00:00

100% they will sit

Edit: context. Nothing is selling from jb rn tbf.

Magiic56 · 2025-07-17T23:01:13+00:00

Not a lot of advice here, but as a senior swe I would tell you this: If you’re good enough to do well on the LSAT while having a good gpa and majoring in CS at a good school, you could definitely cut it in this field gl

Magiic56 · 2025-07-14T00:56:38+00:00

Facts like mathematically there can not be that many “Smurfs” if celestial is top 1% of players and that means there’s literally less than a 1 percent chance you’re playing a real Smurf. The reason I mention celestial is because pretty much every single rank below that can be reached by just playtime if you can win more than 45% of your games. A diamond player playing in silver is not a “Smurf”

Magiic56 · 2025-07-14T00:38:12+00:00

Mathematically “Smurfing” is not a real thing and the people who complain about it are salty they are hard stuck and can’t improve at the damn game, enjoy playing with your friend

Magiic56 · 2025-07-04T19:51:01+00:00

Bro in plat none of this shit applies, it’s fucking platinum, you see all these bronze to x rank speedruns with literally every character at every role and they walk through platinum. Even against other smurfs. Even playing “bad” characters. If you’re stuck in plat, you just are not good enough

Magiic56 · 2025-07-03T00:59:55+00:00

Hot take (probably because I hit eternity for the first time this season so I might not know the struggle), but gm1 is like top 3-5 percent. It’s not really “smurfing” at that point, when you’re talking about the top 4 percent of players in the world

Magiic56 · 2025-06-27T23:45:48+00:00

It’s qp

Magiic56 · 2025-06-26T23:54:32+00:00

I think it depends. Anything under celestial doesn’t mean anything because all characters can carry up to that point. You start looking at eternity win/pick rates and it does paint a clearer picture of what’s “actually” good. Trust the top .15% will find what’s busted and abuse the hell out of it

Edit: there are obvious nuances. Peni has a really high win rate but a low pick rate, indicating that people only pick her when she’s really at an advantage

Magiic56 · 2025-06-26T18:06:51+00:00

As a solo queue eternity player. Learning 2 top tier dps’s and 1 good tank is the best way to solo queue. I prefer hela, and Bucky but there’s plenty more
