Thank you also to: Stachu15, Angelo Derito, Themememan3939, Zeenext for becoming members. I made this video around a week ago so I couldn't fit them into the credits at the end, but much appreciated

[@RoyaLotad]

Another funny thing about old Trapper was that he couldn't even reset his own traps in the same place. He had to pick it up first, THEN put it back down to set it again, further adding to his sluggishness.

[@flevami]

Old Trapper was a total mess in every way. God I remember when people could just sabo all your traps and you literally had no power for half the game😂

[@rtristan8572]

Nurse didn't use to be overpowered, she was and still is overpowered.

[@AZHYMOVS]

True

[@mattiacicchetti4728]

Nah, Blight is stronger

[@bootyclap69k]

@@mattiacicchetti4728I hope you’re joking, because that’s just not true

[@rumley3176]

@@bootyclap69kreally depends on whether Blight or Nurse are overpowered. With the best add-ons, Blight is clearly superior. If we are talking basekit, Nurse. There’s also maps where Blight is better. If we are talking overall then Nurse is better. But if we are talking in the most competitive setting with the best add-ons and sweat builds, Blight will always be the strongest since you can insta down removing a whole part of chase, have mind games you can’t react to, or even immediately catching up on top of the other two.

[@mattiacicchetti4728]

​@@rumley3176I was waiting for this comment, everybody complains against the nurse and not the blight. It's so ridiculous, I want Blight nerfed to the ground, both of his broken addons and his stupid strong basekit power. I can't wait to see blight mains to actually use a killer who requires skill, like Hillbilly, Sadako and the Executioner

[@wisyms]

it’s weird because when spirit was in her PTB she was extremely weak but then she got countless buffs after, idk why BHVR managed to make a killer weak to hear overpowered in around 2 patches

[@WeskerEnthusiast]

Tier list: which perk icon suits the perks description the most'

[@WeskerEnthusiast]

Example: adrenaline is a heart with an andrenaline vail stabbed into it, a good icon for the perk

[@bogoat]

You forgot to talk about Nicholas Cage's power of imagination

[@Hey_Everypony]

You forgot to mention, Billy could once "flick" at the end of Chainsaw Sprints by quickly moving your mouse, allowing you to down people behind you, or even around certain obstacles, sorta like how you can with Oni just with less range.

[@ghitaianis9022]

Bruh that hit at 6:10 was actually criminal the game won't ever allow me to get these types of hit in.

[@HelterSeltzer_the_one]

Back then, hearing and seeing Spirit's footsteps, especially in Lery's, was seriously scary. And she did not have the addon with killer instinct.

[@ItsLenz]

These vids for some reason hits the sweet spot every time, I love Dbd facts and law and all dat shit

[@georgialopez7717]

Nurse, Spirit, Pyramidhead, and even Billy still being hailed as high tier killers today speaks volumes about their might. Hell, Trapper's Basement is still very much a tense strategy to go against. I constantly mistake Iron Grasp as a Trapper teachable lol. Funny enough, I actually find all the killers much scarier when they are AFK. I think it's safe to say Bubba would be near the top of that list for a lot of people. 😥

[@VonCondersmite]

A lot of people forget about when trickster was one of the strongest killers in the game with his Edge of Revival Album and Cut Thru U Single add ons, although it was very short lived lol

[@cadeweaver6373]

You should do a ranking on killer weapons rated on how much it would hurt getting hit by their weapon, a “big ouchie” tier list

[@ilovemacaroons5229]

I love how on the thumbnail nurse has 7 particles in her arm(I think) and that indicates how many blinks she has the attention to detail in your vids is crazy

[@rossalbane7743]

Let’s not forget the real meta of swapping your killer in pregame lobby to counter swf’s

[@dem9763]

Old Doctor before his rework and map wide passive madness build up used to be ridiculous

[@DCption]

Hello, good video, but you should have talked about Machinegun Huntress, it was pretty op as well in the past!

[@Bread_LM]

I feel like Deathslinger's quick scope could be categorized as quite strong.

[@Fright_-ck6iw]

Ah yes, let's just ignore me boy Freddy here, not like he's already forgotten or anything 😢

[@mattiacicchetti4728]

Nobody cares about Freddy anymore, nor in dbd nor in movies, he's outdated

[@sharkbrostar9glory59]

I remember back for doctor if u were to insane on pevel 3 their would be multiple of him as someone who mains doctor this comes in handy even when they least expect it (in the right hands this was honestly deadly)

[@Trident_Gaming03]

Trickster during that PTB where they overtuned him (while unacceptable to go to live) was definitely the most most I've ever had with Trickster, it was nice playing a snowball character that could actually snowball

[@Dimiterer]

As far as I know, Billy's after-sprinting swing also used to be lethal

[@quietboygonewild]

No, collision still exists with the Spirit. I had a match with her the other day and we kept bumping into each other during her phase walking.

[@UhhItsMJJ]

Huntress having 3 insta down projectiles used to be so overpowered 😨

[@Dusk2123]

Idea what killers would work best in pairs of 2 based on how ther personalities and powers would work together then but them on a battle against other pairs

[@blainecarter990]

Nurse and Blight 😂😂😂😂

[@ROYALTEAA]

GOSHHHH I remember the spirit struggles thank god those days are overrrrr

[@ilyaz5543]

all it takes to kill nurse is to make her blinks start recharging after fatigue ENDS and to make her enter fatigue a second after a lethal blink rather than instantly entering it

[@bonnecticat]

Strongest I remember was when pig got her 17,000th nerf, and she's still too op

[@shadownja]

I swear people dont remember release nurse fully, when she could cancel the fatigue by performing an action like vaulting, breaking or picking up. Literally no downtime in gameplay if you time your hits at the correct places

[@zaneallen9814]

You should rank all the killer perks

[@zupterzupter1505]

6:09 What was that hit? Hit validation from mars.

[@kwalkum]

My favourite part of every video is the cute lil giggles

[@insaitYT]

I remember really struggling to play survivor when The Pig came out, due to her ambush attack and the incredible time waste that were her traps. This paired with the old Hex Ruin and Thanatophobia meant hellishly boring and toxic games that stretched up to 30 minutes on occasion.

[@Clown_the_Clown]

They never should have removed PH's ability to see cage auras or have them teleport. They already spawned the furthest possible location from him.

[@flevami]

They absolutely had to. Especially the teleporting cages. It was impossible to save someone from a cage back when PH could just stand infront of it which was just beyond stupid. Also there is no reason for the killer to see the cage location. Since on one hand it's spawnlogic and on the other the only reason people used it was for camping and tunneling. It's a lot more healthy. Now you can still do it but at a risk and before you get to the cage, usually survivor can take the time to save. Plus during Endgame you most likely wouldn't use the cage anyways

[@Han.The.Writer]

The Devs should have never buffed Nurse in Patch 1.9.0: • Could adjust blink distance. • Could blink between floors. • Could turn while performing a lunge (Unmentioned in video). In my experience, a five-blink Nurse is far easier to avoid than a Post-1.9.0 two-blink Nurse!

[@choppy3115]

You forgot old freddy 😔

[@rtristan8572]

Billy didn't use to be overpowered, he used to be balanced, with a few quite strong add-ons. He was OG Blight.

[@May-gr8bp]

Yeah, when I started maining him in 2019 he felt amazing to play and his addons were mostly really good. I think a few of his addons should've been removed/nerfed. Instead BHVR decided to gut his addons and leave them in the dust. Chainsaw overheat has always been a very bad idea.

[@ottooctavius9552]

Wasn’t Freddy Krueger one of the most OP killers in the game

[@alcoholically4280]

Nurse will forever be OP

[@blankdawson6255]

love your vides

[@gabloups5137]

I remember thé old légion, thet Can down you without doing anything.

[@Therealcarlos726]

I don’t understand how they let spirit be so problematic for so long and did almost nothing

[@ericksantos3057]

they do the same thing with blight now lol

[@mattiacicchetti4728]

​@@ericksantos3057Blight is a cancer, people have ham in their eyes not understanding he's the strongest killer in the game

[@Therealcarlos726]

@@mattiacicchetti4728 I would say he is interchangeable with nurse

[@deletedaccount7]

​@@mattiacicchetti4728blight is only an issue when it comes to some of his add-ons. If you have trouble facing base kit blight. . . I'm sorry to say, but you just aren't that good lol.

[@mattiacicchetti4728]

​@@deletedaccount7Fuck man, it's so fucking fun when a sweaty Blight main tunnels you and your teammates and deletes your chances of escaping. Really fucking fun

[@EdouardSaverys]

forever freddy was hell

[@spookieboogi6161]

Nurse is one of the few killers that I can say if you don’t have a strong looper she will kill you easily I see my team doing nothing against a nurse and she’s got 2 peeps on death hook and we got no gens even touched other than the one I’m on I’m surrendering the moment she finds me ain’t worth watching my pride get ripped out after she strangles me to death.

Killer weapons to own IRL?

Now i wonder..if alien would be overpowered or..useless

[@mattiacicchetti4728]

I hope he will be S

[@King-ww6ni]

@@mattiacicchetti4728 hope so

[@jaredSPC]

Pallet blocking spirits need a nerf, Plague needs a nerf The knight needs a nerf Trickster bouncing knives needs a nerf. Everyone else is currently balanced

[@generalforster]

All of these should be buffed

[@jaredSPC]

@@generalforster 🤦‍♂️

[@verygayowl4199]

What part of plague do you think should be nerfed? I genuinely think she has one of the most balanced kits in the game, since for the most part every advantage she gains is caused by the choices of the survivors. Her only real issue is the same as many killers, where one bad survivor can screw over the rest, but that's much more a problem with the game itself than her design.

[@jaredSPC]

@@verygayowl4199her puke is basically an exposed status effect on every survivor for the whole game, not to mention her corrupt puke. if u use her u should try to play against her, she is basically one of the strongest if not the strongest. we haven't even made the build yet and everyone is already one shot lol not to mention the trash solo queue surv that cleanses making her literally broken. That's the equivalent of giving every survivor an endurance hit everytime before going down oh and u better not make a mistake and let them finish a gen cuz everyone gets a free balanced landing same concept.🤣 should pay attention more to how fast those gens go buddy.....🤣same surv concept punishing everyone for one person is lowkey the same thing lmao. they went out of their way to unhook you its part of the game dafuq. Give em a free endurance hit for as long as they dont go down.🤣🤣 Its not like she has to puke on u🤣🤣 nah just puke on the gen puke on the vaults lowkey broken needs a nerf real bad. Why would i use deadslinger if i can just puke spray long distance without reloading🤣🤦‍♂️ Oh but she's an M1 killer...... wouldn't the trapper love a power like that exposed status on everyone in the map🤣 oh wait there's more he gets to pepper spray one shot you too if u try and get rid of that exposed🤣
