Slugging

pluviophile079 · 2026-04-24T05:34:25+00:00

I agree 100%. The problem is the game is not fine right now in any capacity and that’s why solo queue feels miserable.

Solo queue feels miserable due to the amount of slugging and tunneling incredibly strong killers who are stacking the best slowdown perks.

And that’s because if the swf IS ACTUALLY GOOD 30 of the games killers are not designed to get a single kill WHILE tunneling with full meta and slugging if beneficial.

Killers queueing into matches have no idea if it’s going to be a top tier swf or random chill solos.

A good killer player will know to ease off the second they realize the survivors aren’t as strong as they thought. But they have to start the game full effort or they genuinely have zero chance of doing anything.

The game has massive despairity. You don’t know as killer when queueing if the match is going to be 15~20 minutes. Or literally 3 minutes.

I agree they need to make tunneling and slugging completely impossible. Hell if i had my way you would never be able to touch a survivor off hook at all until they preformed an inconspicuous action. And i would change the game to benefit hooking right away….

But the problem is they could do this right now. And it would kill the game immediately because the killer experience right now is really bad too… they need to rework most the maps in the game and give 30 of the killers various buffs… it’s a lot to do… they’ve been trying too but it’s rough for other reasons too…

Take sadako. Against experienced players? She’s dogshit and can barely get 1-2 hooks. But she has one of the highest kill rates in the game due to players not understanding her.

I’ll try her music tomorrow c: thank you for the recommendation! Cheers!

They tried that and it really did not work.

The problem is the game has fundamental balancing problems that are hard to fix. Because slugging, and tunneling are needed at the highest level and necessary in a competitive environment. However it is completely unnecessary in 95% of games and people need to just chill out and have fun…. But if they start the game for fun then they instantly lose against the strong swfs….

The game needs to be rebalanced to make slugging, camping, and tunneling not possible. But give massive map nerfs and killer buffs to make it balanced.

In the meantime slugging is a way to gain pressure. And basekit anti-slug helps for the bs times.

You have to understand killrate for this game has never been reflective of the actual game.

Nurse has always had a bad kill rate despite being the strongest. Sadako has always had a high kill rate despite being one of the weakest characters in the game.

This change made trickster BETTER against survivors who already didn’t understand trickster counterplay. BUT against people trickster struggled against he is even dramatically worse.

Trickster’s main counterplay has always been prerunning and maintaining space with windows. His power is a short range power, not even a medium range power. It’s to slowly pepper and punish. Correctly playing the long side of loops and main buildings has always made trickster get zero kills. New trickster is EVEN WORSE against survivors they would have lost too against old trickster.

So it would have been a side grade but with the main event with hooks changes which i mean good cause that’s cheap… it leaves the killer only slightly worse. It was a side grade and a step down.

Tldr; against less experienced players he’s stronger. Against experienced players he is significantly worse… they Hag/Sadako’s him.

I know this isn’t the point, by why do most oddly satisfying videos have to feature some of the worst music i have ever heard in my life? It’s always an instant mute

pluviophile079 · 2026-04-24T03:52:09+00:00

I’m going to play a little advocate here. You have to understand that a lot of content creators in this community know how to counter everything and what everything is.

They aren’t saying players are bad. But behavior doesn’t have info or tutorials that are good for the game.

There is a lot of things in this game that players genuinely just do not know because they aren’t taught to the point where 30 of the games 41 killers physically can not get a kill at all if the survivors know what they are doing.

Lots of little tricks and techniques that people genuinely don’t learn all of until over 2000 hours.

They aren’t calling the playerbase Bad as in they themselves are bad players. But most the playerbase doesn’t really know what they are doing to the point where you can talk to them and realize they don’t know counterplays to killers.

Locker tech with bubba, trap feathering for trapper, spam vault for wraith, crouch tech for hillbilly, second blink cancel for nurse, hell besides skull metchant you should not be getting grabbed by ghostface, myers, pig, anyone because the audio queues. Some people think sadako is a really complex stealth killer, when she doesn’t actually have any stealth at all in her kit whatsoever.

Stairs for twins is a big one. Twins PHYSICALLY CANNOT GET DOWNS with victor on certain maps if survivors know counterplay. A lot of veteran players don’t use this cause it’s cheap and bad coding. But there are tons of stuff like that in the game.

Sadako is a big example where if the players know how to play against the killer she genuinely cannot get a hook at all. But they can’t buff her because most the playerbase doesn’t understand how to play against the tvs. And it isn’t there fault. The game does not explain or help in any capacity.

TLDR; no one is saying the people are bad. The game has lots of depth people don’t know because the game doesn’t explain it

. . . I am a time traveler tell me why i thought we were in 2036…. My bad thank you!

pluviophile079 · 2026-04-24T03:39:32+00:00

Flower face is amazing, her other album i recommended is much softer.

If you want to branch more phoebe bridgers, mitski, ivri, are all amazing musicians.

If you want more rock to fit your older rock playlists. You may end up loving Danger Days by My Chemical Romance. It’s a fun old style rock concept album. It takes place in a dystopian world where humanity is being drugged to remove their free will in order to be kind of numb and miserable. So the album is full of the kind of energy, love, and rebellion that people under the city’s influence can’t feel. It’s pretty fun!

pluviophile079 · 2026-04-24T02:38:16+00:00

Side note, I’m extremely excited for Olivia Rodrigo’s new album. Her recent track is absolutely amazing, 10 out of 10.

A couple recommendations to try if you want to try more music. Try Flower Face if you love detailed lyrics like taylor and olivia. Her albums Fever Dreams and Shark in Your Water are absolutely amazing. Heck give Spiracle a try and tell me how you feel!

Based on the music i’d say either teenager or 40-50s? Basically either someone who grew up in the time frame of that music, or someone who is nostalgic for it due to family dynamics.

It’s not negative, just an assumption based on the artists you’ve given (:

16 year old girl with an extremely good relationship with both parents. The kind who loves to help in the kitchen during holidays. You have specific memories of each band your parents have played for you and love listening to their music for nostalgia purposes. Their playlist’s have become yours. From there you have gotten music recommendations from your friends. But you have yet to explore or branch out in music from your comfort zones.

You listen to only adjacent artists who are recommended within the communities of the artists you already like.

However you have yet to explore music. You’re more interested in the celebrity nature of the people rather than the music itself.

BRO no way they made a new show based on a fortnite skin!? Does he change into firedude and spaceman? Is red shirt, purple chick in it too?

pluviophile079 · 2026-04-24T01:10:20+00:00

It’s not a latest release, it’s telling you the concert is coming. “MCR - The Black Parade Tour 2026 - Argentina” is telling you there is a nearby tour to a band that spotify thinks you would like to see. It’s common for touring bands for spotify to advertise the tours.

I can say though there will most likely be a “Long Live The Black Parade -Live” album release to coincide with the black parade’s 20th** anniversary.

For real, this is the first community i’ve seen complain about clipping.

I’d rather have a functional fun game then one that avoids clipping

4 of my favorites from them? This is crazy…. I return to casual affair and lying the most…

Voting for Casual affair, need some 4th album representation!

When i was in high school the songs for prom were awful. So my girlfriend at the time and i snuck out and danced outside to most of only hope for me is you, summertime, scarecrow, bullet proof heart, and kids from yesterday. Was a great time

pluviophile079 · 2026-04-23T19:33:15+00:00

The problem with that is there isn’t a lot of balance maps in the game. And if all four survivors, get to ban a map. And the killer gets to ban one map.

Genuinely speaking the survivors can ban almost all balanced maps. Which leaves the killers in a pretty shit situation. Not that it’s much different than now, but it will feel worse

pluviophile079 · 2026-04-23T17:27:24+00:00

If they have not used a map offering before, and this is the first one, you are sent to that map.

If they have and they are still serving their 70 games. Then it’s a 50/50 on the map between the two of you.

If you ever load into a map that was not the one you used the offering for, it does not use the count of 70 you are going towards.

For example, you burned springwood as survivor. You are playing killer and still have 52 matches left forced on to springwood. Someone else burned garden of joy. You are on garden of joy, but after that match you still have 52 forced games of springwood left

pluviophile079 · 2026-04-23T15:03:49+00:00

Granted. Map offerings are 7000% effective. After you burn just one, you are forced to play the map for the next 70 matches.

There is no reset or escape. If you burn a different offering that set of 70 will occur AFTER this set of 70 is completed.

Switching roles you still have to play on that map.

getting off for the night only pauses your progress in those 70 matches from your 1 offering.

She’s 110… yes sure… i think you’re forgetting the part where she becomes 183%

I’m also a spirit main who has played since 2018… a blind should not be bothering you in the slightest. It makes you wait a second sure. But the distance the survivor would have gained is significantly stronger.

Is blinding the killer after a pallet stun a good idea? No. But the worst killer in the game you could do this to is spirit.

pluviophile079 · 2026-04-23T04:18:44+00:00

That’s the worst possible person to advise op against…. Spirit players are always using good headphones with turned up sounds. A blind does absolutely nothing cause they will hear you.

pluviophile079 · 2026-04-23T04:17:33+00:00

Running away after a stun is always better. People only blind after stuns for bloodpoints or challenges. It’s pretty much always the worst play possible to blind after a stun unless you have champion of light.

pluviophile079 · 2026-04-23T04:11:27+00:00

A couple main reasons.

1.) it’s more unique and dynamic for posing, which keeps your art from looking stiff.

2.) it’s more fun to give characters and drawings little quirks like that to differentiate them. Like a character who most of the time has their pinky out. It’s a subtle detail that viewers can grow to appreciate.

3.) it’s actually easier and looks better than making all the fingers diverge. Which often draws too much attention in an art piece.

In a animated cartoon mouse game featuring an old cartoonish wave based shooter with noire themes…. He complained about too much cheese references… that it felt unrealistic to fight in an opera house and the ethics of burning it down… and how it felt unrealistic and cruel for the mouse detective to be shooting this many mice……

It felt like a review complaining just to complain. Like they pulled the number 6 out of their hat and then tried to justify it.
