Calling Claudettes "Blendettes" isn’t necessarily racist, it’s just highlighting the fact that because of her darker hair, clothes and skin, combined with the brightness and graphics of old DBD, she would easily blend in with the environment… In my opinion, it was just a funny nickname the community gave to her, since she was the stealthiest character back then.

[@Its_SaberHG]

I think it's just how people act like that because a lot of the times back then, people would use it offensively

Survivors (Claudette especially) could blend in so well that people unironically valued Myers stalk ability to highlight survivors as useful as Tier 3 itself.

Its the same as if someone called claudette a nerd (which the lore alludes to her being). Its about her as an individual and it has nothing to do with her race - it was her outfit that was the problem They actually brightened her outfits a few months after Adam released Adam similarly had a black lab coat which was impossible to see, they brightened it to be grey at the same time they brightened claudettes outfits because the Adam black lab coat was blatant pay 2 win

[@exiled_0185]

Old player here, for the trapper in 2016, you could unhook through trapped hooks, but the moment the unhook animation finished, the unhooked immediately got trapped! Perk colors were also determined by the old teachable system: the order of unlock was correlating to the perks level 3 rarity, for example: empathy was green, botany knowledge was purple, and self care with pink

[@danielmaster8776]

Yeah, you had to go by the tick marks rather than the color to determine the tier, because some tier 3 perks would be purple and some would be green.

[@Grushvak]

I have to comment in the first minute on "meta = Most Effective Tactic Available" because for years my dumb ass assumed it was meta as in the greek prefix to refer to analyzing a game with information obtained beyond the scope of regular gameplay to find the best strategy based on full knowledge of the work, its context and how people engage with it.

[@Solarn40]

You missed the hex meta that came into prominence just before the Thrill buff (not surprising, because it was so brief), which was Plaything+Pentimento+another strong hex like Devour. People ran it on killers that could really take advantage of the Oblivious effect from Plaything to encourage survivors to cleanse aggressively, and then they could quickly Pentimento 3, 4 or sometimes even 5 totems. I remember both encountering it myself incredibly often and seeing high MMR survivor players run into it all the time in the 2 weeks or so before Thrill took over.

[@a-sleepy-spectre]

Forgot the strongest meta of all time, Router Wiggle Killers. All Killers used to be host, and they could make survivors lag immensely while the Host (Killer) remained pretty unaffected.

[@therpderp]

Notes while watching: (9:02) 1. Thrill of the Hunt always had reduced totem cleanse speed, but its token obtainment method was different, working like Devour Hope (new to me!) (10:08) 2. End Game Collapse, while after Legion by proxy, was the update directly after Plague. (22:58) 3. Hillbilly actually had 4 addons which increased charge speed, being Spark Plug, Primer Bulb, *The Thompsons' Mix* and then Carburetor Tuning Guide. (24:30) 4. Negative and Positive modifiers work with the negative applying first, then the positive applying to that new number. Self-Care without a medkit, by the point in time of this build (mid 2017 - mid 2018) would be an even 20 seconds with Botany Knowledge (the most likely combo). (26:45) 5. It was 2%, it's why Stake Out has that line that says it grants an extra 1% to generator greats. (30:14) 6. Hag only released with Pale Rose. Grim Pantry is Bubba's map. (48:43) 7. Looking at patch notes, it doesn't seem like Oni got any substantial nerfs to his power that would lead him to being less scary. More of these looks like buffs than nerfs, but I don't remember the Cursed Legacy PTB all that well, so it's entirely possible I'm wrong and they might have nerfed him mid-PTB. (1:01:26) 8. While I know it's not meant literally, by this point in time Freddy had been reworked for at least a year, considering Undying is used. His inevitable nerf wouldn't come til May of the following year. (1:02:58) 9. Upon Freddy's rework, the statement of Deep Wound depleting unless not in the Terror Radius was true, but it was changed when Oni came out due to the Legion being able to abuse Nemesis, so at the point in time of this build it would not work. (1:04:00) 10. Ruin was actually better than this. Normal killer regression is .33 charges per second, Ruin would then do regression at .66. 2 charges on a gen would regress in 3.03 repeating seconds from Ruin. (1:04:21) 11. Half-true, just like #9. Insta-heals were changed with the major healing and medkit rework with 3.3.0, meaning reworked Freddy had to deal with it for only 3 months. (1:06:23) 12. Again, only a half-correction. At their strongest, Swing Chains was 3% per asleep survivor, but Jump Rope was a staggering 9%. (The nerf mentioned was 2% and 4% respectively) (1:40:12) 13. While you do correct yourself saying Twins' power and Huntress' addon do Incapacitated, it's actually included in Pinhead's power and Xenomorph's turrets, but much less egregiously since one is setup, and the other is likely happening during chase anyways (1:44:26) 14. a Simplification of this description is anything that grants the "Damage Generator" scoring event. (1:56:10) Calm Spirit suppressed screams LONG before the silent Totem and Chest w/ 30% slower interact addition. i more than definitely missed something, especially regarding map generation as it's not in my brain basically ever, AND some of these are just me being pedantic, but i do feel some are somewhat important

[@notOtzdarva]

Yeah, no I can 100% remember that Oni was way better in the PTB: - He could not be stunned out of his Demon Fury animation while entering. - Passive power did not stop at 97% if I recall correctly. - If I recall correctly, his charge speed was faster (or maybe only faster with the unnerfed Scalped Top Knot).

[@therpderp]

@@notOtzdarva the second one was actually in the patch notes between PTB and Live, but the others would absolutely have needed to be experienced to know. I just remember watching Yerv go through it, but no specifics. I trust your judgement though, since it is something you played through, it's just old and the game has so much knowledge and so many changes that sometimes things just slip by

4 man hatch escapes are really not all that glamorous since all gens needed to be completed for the hatch to spawn with 4 survivors still alive, so you could just leave out the exit gates anyway at that point. But yeah, 3 man hatch escapes were obnoxious.

[@flarebuster]

Thank you Otz! Been playing for two years but always wondered about the meta before! Can't imagine playing killer now with windows not blocking after multiple vaults

[@_Salok]

A thing to add about "not being able to unhook from the sides" : The game only had one key bound to both the unhook and trap disarm actions. Add to that the fact that the unhooking action teleported you in front of the hook and instantly trapped you and you had a winner combo for most annoying "strat". Not only did you not have window blocking back then, but you also didn't get any form of bloodlust or any other kind of speed boost. The whole thing with skill checks back when I played (still is a problem today I believe) is that the skill check cursor can stutter like crazy sometimes unless you edit the game's config files for a higher framerate or have a beast of a PC.

Nobody was good at the game or understood the mechanics because the gameplay was so unique at the time, killers also had an equally oppressive tool in their mori's, able to kill a survivor outright on first down. It's easier to focus on what survivors had access to because they lost so much of it over the years of balancing and changes.

Weird. When I started playing survivor, I played Claudette with dark clothing to hide when the killer came around, and I called the outfit Camouflaudette. The unusual part is that I didnt know about the technique, or blendette yet.

[@Gothic109]

I experienced all of these metas except the oldest one with Trapper. I have to say I strongly disagree with him thinking killers having strong metal builds is a bad thing; it's quite the opposite. A killer player is playing against 4 people who have never been as coordinated as this before because of the HUD buffs for survivors, the strongest buff in all 8,5 years of DBD if you ask me. They also want to win the match and will utilize whatever they can to do so. When you rob killers of strong powers in the name of balancing they will just go use the dirtiest methods they can because that's all they have. That's why never in DbD history tunneling was such a common tactic as it is now, because killers are forced to do that especially with the MMR ranking. I used to enjoy playing both killer and survivor but now I despise both of them and would have quit the game all together at least one year ago if it wasn't for my FOMO for the rift and so on.

[@danielmaster8776]

It's crazy people will still guilt you for tunneling. Killers have lost so much, and they just don't see it, or choose not to. You can't even escape the stress by switching to survivor, because really dumb teammates will just sabotage your game. So basically, you have to play super sweaty by default in every match just to get anything.

[@hcazbackwards]

2:11:10 I, personally, would make it so that the Hex totem cleansing progress immediately regresses progress the moment a survivor stops attempting to cleanse it and if a survivor fails to start cleansing the Hex totem after being interrupted, all progress is lost and the survivor must start over. Nothing hurts more than losing all progress cleansing a totem at the last second. *Details:* 1) Cleansing progress lost upon initial interruption by any means (scream or manual cessation): *90% of current progression* 2) Grace period before _all_ totem progress is lost: *4 seconds*

[@NewSirenSong]

I think instead of the potential for all or most of your progress to be lost, they should just have check points, part of the balance of hex perks is that they're supposed to be fragile. Having redundancies is fine, making them impossible or extremely punishing is counterintuitive to their design.

Who said it isn't? I don't play much but when I do ruin/undying is still in half my builds. If you're playing a d tier killer you're losing regardless of your build, play a better killer and any perks work well.

[@Nasheeyy]

@@berdyderg900 well tbh i said it out of just saying it lmao, im guessing the meta builds over the years have changed and what i mean is that this isnt probably viable in the highly top competitive meta compared to the new 500+ new perks that have released since over the years after all its been more than 6+ years, also if im not wrong ruin doesnt work the same now as it did back then ( rework )

[@warridden]

2:11:03 Maybe they could find a compromise where they make it so Thrill is still just as powerful, but it comes with a negative side effect included on it that states, "While this perk is active, hex totems retain their cleansing progress when interrupted." Preserving the other Hex perks, but giving more counter play to Thrill based builds.

Damn, I have been using the word Meta for years but I just now realized what it actually means lol. Most Effective Tatctic Available Makes sense though xD Only a few seconds in the video and I am already learning something ^^

20:15 *sighs* "but, it could be worse... and we'll talk about it... who's next on our list?" felt that in my soul

Thrill of the hunt is one of those perks which sounds SO cool and looked really cool the first time I opened the game…. And it’s just a cleanse speed perk.

[@bedopskepop7936]

Insane throughout all of this you didn’t touch blight or nurse. Blight meta was worthy of its own category lmao

[@custominorEZ]

Hardened is great for breaking the Thrill meta especially if you can get a dull out of the way first. I’ve gotten the aura read and broken those hex builds countless times recently.

hello Otz the audio for the 2022 painres and dms meta seems to be a bit off, idk if its just for me but other times it was ok, and just for this part it was a bit delayed, other wise love the vid awesome job as allways

[@JH-mq6pu]

really loved this history lesson

[@clearsky4049]

With how nasty the old metas were its a miracle the game survived for as long as it did.
