The state of Dead By Daylight in my perspective… THIS GAME IS ASS!

What was once a actual nice competitive game with an actual great ranking system and almost balanced system for survivors and killers, is now a nerfed, kid friendly game that bends to the people who cries the loudest and harder.

Dead by Daylight was once one of the most competitive games I’ve ever played. Not only because of the killer survivor interaction. When killers were actually skilled and could get a 4K ( 4 Kills) without slugging or having to camp 1 survivor at 5 gens just because of bruised egos and over cooked hot pockets by grandma. or When survivors actually knew how to do a gen no matter if they were solo or not and just Urban evade into a corner FIR 15 MINUTES!!( ( I pray your Hot Pocket is burnt on the outside and frozen on the inside)

What made this game so great was the old ranking system. OH… You never played the old rank system??? You never seen what the actual rank system look like before??? LOOK AT PICTURE 2! LOOK AT IT!
This was your ranking system. The OG rank. The other one on the right isn’t even a rank… it’s considered a “Grade”. The Fuc…..

The is how the old rank system used to work:
Just like the …ehh..Grade system, the rank system started the same way. Every month the rank system would reset but instead of a Ash 4 you would be rank 20 (Ash 20). Then you would gain a pip up from 20 to 19 but here’s what made dead By daylight unique. If you did enough in the game, You would pip, but if you didn’t do enough or interact with anything in the game.. You wouldn’t just not pip, You would lose a pip and if you lost to many pips ,you’d go back rank. So if you made it through 20 to 19 and shit the bed at 19.. you would go back to 20 with 4 pips and have to fight to get back to 19.

Now, That may sound like a lot but just like Grade Ash 4, it’s not that hard to get out of ash. The real struggle was when you hit that 13 - 12 area because match making was horrible.. but enjoyable. Here’s what really made the game stressful, You had 1 month to hit Iridescent 1 (Iri 1) and when you hit it, You had to keep it. That mean, If you decided to play while at red 1 and lost to many games… You went back to Iri 2 and had to get back to one for the maximum post rewards. And if you F-ed up in 2 then you went back to 3 and could possibly see yourself back in ash territory.

The old rank system Showed you who actually had true skill, Not like this everyone gets a trophy B.S, that we have now.

The New Grade system is complete garbage, It like consoling the people who burned their finger on the hot plate trying to get their hot pocket from out of the microwave and attending to their wound by giving them a pip and blood points to see them smile and giggle again. (bad plate, Bad!)

The Grade (Rank) system that was implemented is based off of MMR -”The Skill-Based Matchmaking Rating, often abbreviated as "SBMM" or "MMR", is a hidden scoring system used to match Players together for ranked Trials in Dead BY Daylight”
So depending on how your do that day in a game you can be matched with New players or people that have thousands of hours played in game while you could be a new player yourself that just happen to get carried into a High MMR lobby that then would probably have to go against a High MMR Nurse where all those Youtube video about “How to loop like a pro” gets thrown out the window in the rest of your broken controllers, mouse and keyboards and hot pocket empty packets.

With the new Rank (Grade) system you also don’t lose pips. which means you keep all progress no matter how bad the game or how little you participate. There’s no penalty for being a shit player. Not saying if you don’t do your best make you a shit player… but when when the game starts and you’re walking the boarder of the map doing your 10 thousand steps to help make room for that third cold hot pocket hoping to escape with prove thy self and I can do a gen 10 times faster perks while the rest of the survivors are out running for their lives trying to do gens and loops at the same time then maybe you’re better off playing Valorant.

With the way the game is going (In my prospective) , the game is a chaotic mess with the dev trying to fulfill everyone complaints one micro transaction purchase at a time. but does this mean the game is bad… No. Not at all. Dead BY daylight is a 4v1 3 strikes and you’re out game where if the killer can catch you within those 3 times, the game is over for you. Still a unique game with a variety of characters to play. You can be a killer, a survivor, You can be support or friendly. The game isn’t at it’s best now with the killers just slugging everyone at 5 generators because of 1 twitch stream from the devs. that stated “ Slugging is not a reportable offense in the game and is allowed as a legitimate tactic” and when the killer main heard that… The fire nations attacked and everyone that tried to log into ta match would be slugged and left to bleed out for 3 minutes. I’m assuming the devs realized what they said may have been taken out of contrast. Slugging is a last resort for the killers who can’t clutch a kill or get close to first base and say something stupid like “ You remind me of my mom” and get sent back to little brother status.

To me the game is fun. I actually enjoy the game for what it is. Yeah… The killers might try to slug and down camp you but that’s only… 30?? maybe 40% of the game. and those are the killers that not good with decision quick time events. Like if that killer finally got the 4k that they needed to it to Iri (Grade) 1 and their grandmother made them a celebratory hot pocket with tatter tots and honey mustard. While walking down the basement stairs she lose her footing and goes air borne with the plate Who would he catch? His grandmother or the plate she made?

Have you tried playing DBD bat 2 in the morning? Totally different game

The other 40% are people that just trying to play and have a good time. Some are content creators, some are people that just got off work and just want a couple games before the kids come home and some just plan like the game.. The other 20% play at night and we don’t talk about them.

In my state of mind “as a survivor’ the game is about about doing gens and trying to get out and get ready for the next match while listening to LOFI and watching the Por,,,, Youtube videos. Dead By Daylight is a brain dead game where as a survivor these are the rule to the game:
You hear the killer coming, Go Hide
You see the killer, Run away
You don’t see or hear the killer , work on a generator
Rinse and repeat!
The state of the game - It’s a toxic chaotic mess and needs operation health implemented really bad. But, I have damn near 10 thousand hours in the game so the chaos and toxic doesn’t really bother me. If I’m going to honest this is the easiest the game has ever been. If I get slugged and left on the ground for to long I can leave because of the new abandon timer they just put in. I can keep my point but I don’t progress?? That’s great for me, I’m already Grade 1 so that mean I can have my cake and eat it too! See , I too also eat hot pockets but I eat mine with the building burning around me and in a napkin
