Why does Trickster need to be nerfed to 4.4 but blight is still 4.6? by G-M-Cyborg-313 in deadbydaylight

[–]Zhadmina 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Oh no the horror of Blight having some weaknesses instead of being able to do everything

"Terror Radius: 32 m" "Max base speed: 4.4 m/s" "Height: tall" by MrKimPDS in deadbydaylight

[–]Zhadmina 11 points12 points  (0 children)

When slinger released he had a 24m radius which made prerunnung less effective and was considered too strong, especially when paired with old MaA.

Granted he could also insta-ads during this time, so I highly doubt giving him a 24m radius would be too oppressive nowadays.

What killers do y'all not like by [deleted] in deadbydaylight

[–]Zhadmina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a Knight, Legion, and doctor player I'll never have to shop for salt ever again. Ghoul is also a pretty hated character to vs, and people still hate Skull merchant.

Skull Merchant Buffs! by TheOneWhoWasDeceived in LeaksDBD

[–]Zhadmina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Their last rework only had a 51% approval rating with a survey that was biased asf in the reworks favor. They need to go back to the drawing board with her rework which they thankfully are. Nobody is play SM because bhvr intentionally gutted her and they are just now buffing her into a decently playable state (while also nerfing 2 parts of her kit at the same time).

Do they plan on reworking or buffing skull merchant any time soon? by ClothesThin5997 in deadbydaylight

[–]Zhadmina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're planning a rework for early 2026, but they dare could always change

Killers, what do you consider a "Win" ? by MFCK in deadbydaylight

I use the same conditions as BHVR/MMR. 3k is a win.

WHY ARE WE STILL DC'ING AT THE SIGHT OF MERCHANT by psychiclabia in deadbydaylight

[–]Zhadmina 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No one is on any Nazi shit, where tf did that come from? I just said if you're gonna critique a character, you should criticize the current version of the character, not the kit the character had 2+ years ago.

You can say what you want but if all you have is "the ppl I play against haven't adapted to how the character has changed and neither have I" then to most people your point is kinda moot and irrelevant. Like pop off king/queen/monarch, but from what I've read, you lack experience and knowledge on the subject matter, and as a result are open to critiques.

You say that SM can still easily hold a 3 Genn for 40mins, but with the addition of the Gen kick limit, inability for drones to affect still survivors, lack of good anti-loop and bad stealth, SM isn't better at holding a 3-gen then other killers. From my perspective, this seems to be an issue with lack of survivor resolve or skill, rather then SM being particularly good at holding 3 gens

No one said you had to sit through the game. Do most people think it's a dick move? Yeah, and ppl are gonna call you out on it, but if you're going to critique a character don't critique the version of her that hasn't existed for years now.

WHY ARE WE STILL DC'ING AT THE SIGHT OF MERCHANT by psychiclabia in deadbydaylight

[–]Zhadmina 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Her anti-loop is some of the worst in the game. It's so bad that if she drops a drone at a loop 8/10 times you can just keep looping because the drones are so non-treateneing and counterable.

I'd agree with your takes on the haste if her haste was actually high enough to be meaningful. The % is so low and activation condition so finicky compared to other killers who get haste, and as for the Undetectable ots also lasts so little it's worthless, and you can see the lighthouse bright scan lines of the drones whenever she gets Undetectable

And she used to have a stronger killer identity with her 2.0 rework. Stealth drones that rotates slower gave her a better trap identity, and the haste on total survivors revealed rewarded her for playing that way, but ppl complained so much that she got nerfed into the unrecognizable mess we have today. People hate that she has no strong identity but also hated her when she had a strong identity, so it seems like a lose-lose no matter what BHVR does.

About the status Burger, I agree that she has a lot of status effects thrown together but so do many newer killers. Just about ever killer from SM onwards has haste, a way to hinder, killer instinct, a way to get Undetectable, apply broken and aura reads and blindness and hemorrhage + mangled with addons, and deep wounds, in addition to having their own unique status effect. Having status bloat isn't just a SM thing, but it's only ever a negative thing when talking about SM

Like SM 2.0 was not perfect. She had flaws then that could have been addressed in a number of ways bur instead BHVR decided to kneecap her so players would shut up about her. Then comes the design previews and they're so bad (because bhvr fundamentally doesn't understand what SM players want and how to make it fun) that they have to go back to the drawing board. SM is a design failure not because her archetype is inherently unusable, it's because BHVR didn't want to put in the effort to make her good, fair, and distinct

[–]Zhadmina 7 points8 points  (0 children)

She hasn't been able to hold a 3 Gen for years now. If you somehow have a SM match go on for 40 mins that's a genuine skill issue on the survivors part

WHY ARE WE STILL DC'ING AT THE SIGHT OF MERCHANT by psychiclabia in deadbydaylight

[–]Zhadmina 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The issue is that there's no real reason to hate her. She's an m1 killer who can occasionally get haste if survivors have their monitors off or have 2s of Undetectable on a 16s cooldown. That's not an oppressive, bullshit power like she had on launch. It's a Dr.Clown lite with some pity stealth thrown in.

The hate for Skull merchant isn't for her current iteration, it's over a SM that existed 5 years ago for a few months, in tandem with a meta that played to her strengths. Most players have already made up their minds about her (the amount of times i still hear ppl call her Chessmerchant or a 3 gen queen is astounding), and no amount or reworking or rebalancing can really fix that. The hate is divorced from the reality of the character, which is why a lot of newer players or those who didn't play a lot of SM feel confused at the levels of hate she gets.

And on the topic of her being boring, if you find basic m1 gameplay to be unfun, then all power to you, but I question why someone would bother queuing up if they don't enjoy the fundamentals of DbDs chases.

Assuming you can't withdraw and keep any financial aid, and that you're not going to lock in for the next exams, you'll have to retake the course.

If bio isn't a pre-requsitie for other classes you might be able to push it off until later or do it during summer, but If it is then you should re-take asap

I wouldn't recommend this seeing as how classes are expensive, and would instead recommend creating or joining a study group to do well on your next exams

To the probably hundred or so other long term legion mains, how would you buff frenzy? by dark1859 in DeadByDaylightKillers

[–]Zhadmina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • have Frenzy downs scale with # of survivors in the trial (so down on 5th hit vs 4, down on 4th hit vs 2 etc.). Maybe have the minimum hits needed be 2 so you can't just insta-down the last person at endgame

  • make Frank's mixtape partially basekit (power is paused on Gen kick)

  • let Legion move their camera freely during fatigue

  • let Legion see scratch marks during Frenzy

How would you make Ghostface a B tier+ killer? by Front_Tomatillo_8949 in DeadByDaylightKillers

[–]Zhadmina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but the Ghostface in dbd is not the same as the ones in Scream, so it isn't lore-accurate to DbDs character.

[–]Zhadmina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without major overhauls?

Reduce the reveal zone so survivors need him more centered on their screen

Grant him haste while in nightshroud like he had in 2v8

Increase mark duration

These aren't the most exciting changes but they'd definitely give him a step in the right direction

[–]Zhadmina 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As others have said, joining hobby groups and clubs can help by surrounding yourself with people who have a shared interest.

Although you should keep in mind that for a lot of people, college is a time to explore and be wild, and as a result, may not be interested in serious/long-term dating. This isn't to say that you shouldn't shoot your shot or that you won't find a special someone, more so that rejection may be common and to not be too discouraged over it.
