@@mississippitornado6842 that is the point: supposedly. Team eternal literally wins one tournament after another so no assumptions necessary there. E.g. In one of the comments here otz replied and pointed out that the survivors are very familiar with that kind of settings we see in the video. That further indicates that the killer players arent. (Aside from the fact that it probably would have been mentioned in the video as well) Like I am very certain this would look different if the survivors would keep their individual skill but you remove the comp experience they have. Same might be true for the killer players. That aside playing perfectly can never result in a win if the other side plays perfectly as well. At that point it is up to the form of the players, rng and a little bit of luck. E.g. Huntress was unlucky with the deliverance play which did cost her the draw. Deathslinger was lucky by hooking the deliverance guy first and he actually got the 2k.

[@emoneestep3244]

I find it hilarious how you took games of a champion level SWF, with 10k hours each, on comms, who play this game competitively and somehow think their performance means this game with a 61/39% winrate in the Killer's favor is not Killer sided lol. This is the 1% top tier survivors versing below average speed Killers who are generally considered average in strength across the entire Killer roster. Most Survivors, swf or not, are not nearly this coordinated.

[@F1rstNameLastName]

​@emoneestep3244 I've seen those statistics by the devs but I'm not sure what counts as a "win" for that. There's no way that 61% of killer games are a 4k.

@@emoneestep3244 Did you miss the games where survivors with heavy restrictions 4-men escaped against killers whose sole restriction was "play with your base character without add-ons"?

[@koreyardoin3695]

​@@emoneestep3244 Their statistics are about as skewed as this experiment is. They take their data set from everywhere, regardless of skill level and platform. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that in the lower half of the skill bracket the game becomes killer sided. When neither side has any clue what they're doing it's easy for survivors just outright die. You can play M1 trapper with no power or addons and still 4k easily. It's once you start getting into the higher brackets that those scales start tipping quickly. Once they're at least good enough to accomplish 3 things they can start overpowering killers easily. Learn how to use pallets and windows in their simplest forms. No frills, no flash, no risk. Just using the resources available to the bare minimum to prevent from dying quickly in chase. Like just pre drop everything on the game and you're already most of the way there. Second is knowing when to hold M1 on gens. As long as they're passed the phase of spooking the moment they hear even a microsecond of the outer edge of a killers terror radius they're golden. Just sit on a gen until it's your turn to get chased. Third and final one is not to be confused as shit and waste time. Don't be the brand new claudette crouch walking around the corner of the map not sure what to do or where to go next. See the shiny generator lamps poking out and run to them. Once they're gotten some semblance of these three skills they start to catch up VERY quickly to killer. And from there it's just about refinement. From everything I'd seen of DBD over the years since it released I've always held the exact same opinion. This game is less about what the killer does right and more about what the survivors do wrong. As killer sometimes even if you play as well as you can reasonably expect in a given scenario you still lose out to the survivor. And even the tiniest of mistakes pile on very heavily. Where as in a lot of scenarios if you win hard it's all about the survivors making mistakes. Making greedy choices, being overly altruistic, falling for a bait, misplays with mechanics, ect.

[@sxerwin]

This community is full of biased toxic survivors, get used to it.

[@rexdounut7069]

Against these kind of cracked suvivors Deathslinger defenetly has the advantige, that he can get the survs injured relativley easy (or at least has an easyer time than other killers) but on average-middle strong comp players, i still think huntress is better. She can shred throu multyble healthstates really fast, and tiny mistakes from the surv side can lead to a down verry quickly. Also her camp is really strong, and she can pressure survs (more or less) across the map, and can split thit pressure on multyble survs.

[@zoopdoop_games]

I think in pubs huntress is queen. she can take advantage of chaos amongst solo queue survivors and get free injuries. When it comes to coordinated high level play Slinger is one of THE best 1v1ers in the game and can make the best survivors look like fools. I think these two are so close in comparison I don't think I'd judge anyone for thinking one is stronger than the other.

[@sterling4294]

I think it’s more a case of reliability. Huntress can snowball better but is also more mistake-reliant. Whereas slinger’s chase is definitely less explosive but stronger and overall more reliable.

[@danielmaster8776]

Huntress is always stronger than Deathslinger, hence why you always see her and not him. Even with STBFL, Deathslinger's time to down is longer than hatchet into hatchet. He can be good at getting injures, but not downs.

Two great Otz videos back to back! How wonderful! 😄 However I must point out how terrible I felt for both of the killers while watching, it's clear that they're both good as well as for the survivors but the amount of kills they got felt pathetic compared to the skill level they're on.

[@notOtzdarva]

Even the cancelled match showed that things can spiral down for Survivors very quickly. Don't forget these are quite literally the best Survivors in the world, playing in a setting they're very much used to. Even getting 5 stages against them is a great result.

[@eyezik5743]

Because DBD has 4x as many survivor players as there are killer players, the devs have to make the game balanced in favor of the survivors so the large relatively casual playerbase will keep playing as it is more important for those four to be happy than the single killer to be. This means at very high levels of play the game is shifted significantly in favor of the survivors winning, and incredibly talented survivors like these will make that more obvious.

[@cokefloat18]

Game is garbage as killer

[@agony_addict]

@@notOtzdarva well Mr. "Not" Otz I'd beg to differ. While I can't say that any of the players in those matches weren't at an extremly high level that alone destroys your point. This was meant to show what a Best Huntress and Best Slinger could do against the Best Survivor Team. By this logic if two sides are seemingly at the same level of skill it should end in a perfect middle ground as it did with the 3 round (Slinger) the killer gets 2 kills and the survivors get a two man escape. However the fact that in 6 games this only happened once when the killer tehnically had the biggest advantage tells me that something here is wrong

[@sonodv1709]

​@@agony_addict huntress and slinger are not the strongest killers so they won't get "balanced" results against the best survivors.

[@--Cat--]

What these videos have taught me is that the course and outcome of a match is like 80% decided by the survivors. The killer's skill and choice of killer matters, but against good survivors (like all good not even great) with no "weak link" the killer is going to struggle if they aren't playing Blight or Nurse. Survivor mistakes matter much much more than the killer playing well.

[@Doonango]

It really says something that if a killer that is not blight,nurse or myers with tombstone piece with the best addons and perks and plays perfectly they can barely get a 2k against a coordinated sfw.

[@kingol4801]

The game design encourages tunneling, since one dead survivor == less gen speed. If the game was designed around getting most hooks possible, it would be far more tolerable. How to define it as such: A - total repair speed, regardless of the survivors alive, is constant. So, if one survivor dies, all other get gen speed repair BUFF to compensate. WHILE lowering base repair speed. Now the gens, even with optimal repair, will be completed at the EXACT same speed regardless if all 4, 3, 2 or 1 survivors at once work on them. This makes the game not decided by the first down, since it accomplishes nothing. And, likewise, camping/tunneling is useless, since all other survivors just get a repair speed buff to compensate. Second: Every recently rescued survivor LOSES THEIR HITBOX. They cannot be targeted by killer, cannot body-block anybody, or do anything (DC rules, if they do anything productive, invincibility is gone). This does not apply when Exit gates are powered (think basekit Off the record on steroids). Now, all killers GET 3 POWERS/get more power budget. Example: Huntress’ hatchets can home onto survivors (curve around the walls, hit things at a distance reliable) Bubba can teleport through the map like dredge, one time, with a long cool down. Lastly, all M1 attacks get PERMANENT 8 stacks of STBFL. This makes M2 attack more reliable/with greater potential, but they all come at a longer wipe animation (100% longer compared to swift M1s). This way, all M1 killers are stronger and all M2 killers are moderately weaker, relatively. Lastly, the aura of FURTHEST survivor is revealed to the killer when at least 1 survivor is hooked for X second. The moment they enter chase, this ability is lost. Boom. Fair, linear in progression game.

[@bouncyshow3266]

Coordinated swf does not equal the best team in the world, coordinated swf is nowhere near this level of skill.

[@shoonseiki]

What are you talking about? The killers didn't play perfectly. If anything the survivors played closer to perfect. 2k is a draw btw. There's always misinformed dbd players that act like the 4 best survivors in the world winning means the game is unfair for killer.

[@dave3895]

@@bouncyshow3266 the killers played the best they could haved especially with the pressure of being watched,having to multitask and do split second decisions and the survivors didn't even had the best items and builds so even if deathslinger and huntress are A tier killers they couldn't beat them.

[@Porkwhitemeat]

It wasnt even a 2k it was 2 hooks. Big difference

[@jerianaleonarcturus6759]

This is why I think slinger is more consistent, but huntress is more explosive. Slinger represents the most overall consistency. He can pressure multiple people with his deep wounds, he can stop pallet saves, makes DS less impactful because he can change their position. Huntress still has to play high wall loops fairly straight and the fact that she needs to go to a locker and take a reload where slinger can just reload on the spot is MASSIVE if survivors can keep cool and dodge

True, but keep in mind this is at the absolute top level. Not so survivor sided for most players in reality.

I think a lot of people underrate slinger, since he got his nerf a while ago, a lot of people act like he's bad. I think he definitely comes close to huntress, especially in close to mid range he is still very hard to react to and he makes a lot of loops and pallets incredibly unsafe, in the direct 1v1 on some loops slinger may even be better than huntress but huntress is probably the more complete package of the two. she's got more snowball potential and she can injure over way greater range than slinger.

@swissbob15 Its nutty how fast those Gens got slammed, damn

[@koreyardoin3695]

Healing doesn't seem to have been a major factor. Heal pressure would've only been a big thing if the killers were juggling multiple survivors constantly. But in these matches they struggled to get a single chase closed out. Huntress in her first match legit got ran for almost all of her gens. The only one who ended up getting good pressure was deathslinger in the end. Maybe the removal of self healing from CoC could've made that last deathslinger game harder but I don't think it would've changed the outcome of these games by a lot.

If you really want to know which character is better , you need to write every single situation out on a paper and then compare advantages vs disadvantages of each killer , what he could do and what counters are available to the survivors and depending on the amount , you would know which one ON PAPER is better but obviously it will depend on player skill in the end. It's a lot more work but it is what it is.

Testing against just the one group. however good they are, is just poor science anyway lol. For many, i hope, obvious reasons but mostly because it's a bad sample size.

Good luck finding a killer who'd want to VS several similar groups however many times you want to build your data set. I'm pretty sure both of these killers were in their 20's at the start of the experiment and currently look like they're a few moons passed retirement age.

[@rubenfeijoolopez8572]

The thing with Slinger is that he is like PH, clunky and "slow". Better or not he is definitely less smooth to play than Huntress.

[@eyezik5743]

I think the exact opposite and it's the reason Slinger is significantly more fun to me than Huntress. Huntress you have a slow wind-up and then you move at a snail's pace while the axe is readied. Slinger can aim in 400ms and fire instantly in addition to not having to worry about his projectiles accidentally hitting some object before the survivor. Huntress is absolutely stronger than Slinger is and has a ton of advantages over him but she is certainly clunkier than he is.

Kinda of bullshit that even with the best add ons Slinger and Huntress still struggle against really good survivors, because they have no pressure. Also, deliverance should really deactivate during endgame or at least have the 15 sec protection removed to prevent free escapes like that Huntress game that allowed the survivor to get hatch.

The healing update would have been shit. The only people who can’t understand that are people that haven’t ever played solo queue. If y’all would tell the devs to fix the killer spectrum instead of just constantly whining about deadhard, we wouldn’t have these dumb useless changes that do nothing except make the weakest role in the game weaker, and the two strongest killers in the game even more disconnected from the rest of the roster.

[@kingol4801]

He is far more consistent. That is like Bubba VS Billy situation. Billy CAN be better, but in most situations Bubba is simply more reliable. Being reliable is more powerful than being somewhat stronger if stars A, B and C align OR while playing on an inhuman level of performance. Reason being? Human factor. No human plays perfectly optimally == disadvantages and weaknesses of characters are more prominent than their strengths. So, having a character with less disadvantages/couterplay mean far more VS optimal SWF than a character with MAYBE somewhat stronger performance in situation A B C. One leads to consistent performance. Another one is not.

It doesnt really show who the better killer is but it definetly does show how disgustingly op survivor squads (swf) are with the ability to communicate with each other and how planable games are at least to a certain degree Thats the reason why i dont play killer if you play against solo queues its okayish because you can already tell if they are bloody noobs, average or just really good but whenever u face a swf you can tell by the moves they do and plays they pull off which are by chances not possible in solo queues because of several reasons except you use perks for that specific purpose but you dont need them because of communication in a swf Communication is a huge part many people seem to underestimate but it gives u advantage of several perks It lets you constantly know where the killer is, where your survivor mate is, how the progress on which gen is etc it completely destroys the surprise effect on a killer which is a big part for some killer strategies

Like I'm not saying none of this is impressive both the killer and the survivors are extremely good at this game. I just can't imagine putting myself in this and having any fun in either side, but maybe I'm just not competitive or desire to win that much, I am more the type to play suboptimal if it means it is more fun to me or even if I lose so this is just another realm for me.
