I thought I was the only person who plays Freddy on a semi-regular basis, so I like to pretended that I'm the sole reason he is so high up.

[@notOtzdarva]

Curse you! 😂😂

[@Mellosch.]

Me too! 😂 But truth be told.. He is just really fun and I normally get a 3k. Easy peasy

[@Mr.Manbat]

Is it weird that I like to play Freddy every now and again and think he’s fun only because of his animations?

[@betteryou7hanme]

i play Freddy a decent amount. there are a few gimmick builds I love running on him. you should try: hex: pentimento, hex: plaything, hex: retribution, sloppy butcher with the never sleep pills and z block. punish survivors who wake up after being hooked. oblivious survivors hear no TR and don't get the lullaby when awake. so you're just invisible until 16m. if they step on a trap they are blind so they can't find totems, and when they find one they become oblivious and reveal all auras.

26:55 I believe a BIG if not THE reason that Ghostface's kill rate is so low is actually because he's the Go-to "friendly" killer for BP farming since you can t-bag to let survivors know that you're just looking to stalk/chase/pallet farm this game. I think if he was played the same as other killers, his kill rate would be in line with the other stealth killers in the game.

[@Pichudiamond3]

I would say another huge reason is because of tombstone. 9/10 Mikeys I go against have tombstone, and if they don’t just straight up kill you, they get easy hooks from people going into lockers to avoid the tombstone, so that puts him quite a bit higher I’d say

[@VitorSilva-jq8kh]

No, no amount of friendly ghosties would be able to low the KR so much. The killer is predictable for most of the times and is weak, despite the buffs.

A few days ago was the first time I've ever encountered a Pinhead. I've got a little less than 300 hours, so just a little bit experienced but I know how to play against most killers. I didn't know how to play against Pinhead. Endgame chat was like this: Killer: gg Me: I have no idea how to play against pinhead, gg but what do you even do Then the killer gave me a few tips. Sometimes I love this game. So wholesome.

As a lower skilled player, i can say that Meyers being high is not surprising. Every. Single. Match. Without fail, he has one of his add ons that either kills you or gives him infinite tier 3. The fact that my teammates can get me killed because they dont see him is an insanely powerful tool. Every match is over within 5 minutes because he just stalks someone and then runs off to kill someone else.

[@DissConn3cT]

About Doctor bots Otz people don't always do that to sell the account, sometimes it's for themselves. The grind to get everything in the game is brutal, I have 3,3k hours on DBD (half of it afk in the lobby but that's still over 1500 hours in game) and I still have more than 10 characters left to unlock for shards. Before the discounts (I made the calculations around Onryo patch) it took OVER 2k HOURS of play time to unlock all the killers and survivors and their perks with them and then you have skins to buy and perks in shrine if you don't want to pay a few hundred $ to unlock everything. For many players dumping 2k hours in a single game is more than they are willing to afford and paying for unlockable content in a game they already paid for is also not an option, so they use bots to farm. For hardcore gamers or people that play DBD for years it's not an issue, but for new players seeing how slow the grind is and how much content is locked behind it it's simply disheartening. Even with a bot running 24/7 it takes nearly 3 months to unlock all "free" killers and survivors.

[@liandre9035]

yeah the pricing system is very harsh in this game. Im so glad i bought he ultimate edition back when they didnt have the 3 DLC packs, i got all the killers and survivors up to "all kill" chapter (and pig, for some unknown reason, i dont remember buying her with auric cells.) The variety is what kept me playing the game and now soon to be 2k hours in the span of the last 3 years. but i had breaks from the game too.

[@thesavagegummybear7341]

Yeah, the shards are a complete joke honestly, they’re only there so bhvr can claim there’s a way to unlock characters for free, they just want people to spend a ton of money on skins and dlc, I believe the shard prices need to be slashed across the board, but thats never going to happen.

I suspect that part of Chucky's lower kill rate may be due to his popularity. At 7% overall play rate you probably have a very broad skill range, and there may be newer players that picked up the game specifically for him.

[@Reiner5200]

His power kind of sucks for noobs. Noobs use his dash and completely miss survivors. I've done it as Chucky. While pros can do weird tech with high sensitivity, looking at the sky, and perfectly 180'ing around objects for hits.

[@lukegonzalez4893]

Yeah, as soon as I saw that Doctor killrate, I instantly knew it was because of the bots. Every single time, it's doctor. When I was leveling up, every time I heard the doctor sound, I assumed it was a bot. Big thing you're forgetting is that the Doctor bot can be programmed to use its abilities so that it actually gains TONS of extra points compared to every other killer. It was so common when leveling my account in Korea that I just assumed it was the default worldwide because it was just that common to hear doctor and know it was a free game to farm. It was so common that survivors would actually just give up on the gens when they heard the doctor sound and then go off to farm points from totems or chests.

[@TinyLokiGaming]

Skull merchants killrate is heavily inflated by suicides on hook at 5 gens. Last time I tried to play her I LITERALLY had 5 back to back matches where someone instantly suicided on hook which resulted in everyone else suiciding.

Yeah Singularity being a bit unpopular is NOT a horrible thing, out of 34 Killers having a few very complex ones is not too bad. He could still use some small adjustments and QOL changes to help him out though.

[@ShyestofGuys]

He honestly still needs help. He can be strong, but on set maps he's awful, players who understand how free it is to spam EMPs really hurt him, etc. For how hard he is to play I don't think he really earns it in the same way Blight Nurse Spirit do and arguably Spirit and Nurse get a TON easier with headsets and patience. I say it as someone who really liked Singularity when he first came out and no lifed him, but I honestly couldn't tell at a certain point if it was better to setup a web of cameras which are constantly disabled or to use your power in chase and have to hit the same guy with your infection twice.

I believe Skull Merchant's stats are propped up by the number of suicide on hooks she faces. But that said, her kit is still extremely bloated. She has stealth, her lock-on doesn't decay over time, she gets Haste when a survivor is scanned or tagged... Skull Merchant really was made to be hard to balance, since removing one of the things that make her strong can easily make her hopelessly weak.

[@fizzcojettyp7236]

Unfortunately, it's not only the suicide on hooks, there are survivors that WANT to die, because I play Skull Merch. 😭

SM is pretty loaded, but the issue is how she affects survivors within her loaded kit rather than the buffs she gets from her kit. She still has some really easy counterplay, but most people I've come to find genuinely do not want to bother with her counterplay and would rather throw the game the moment they find out they're going against an SM. A reworked, arguably nerfed version of her, to boot.

He has so many neat tricks that rewards you for critical thinking witch is why i love killers like hag and yet the controls on console are just that clunky i dont really have him in my rotation of killers i play. I do think his skill ceiling is one of the biggest reasons for his low play rate unlike say sadoko i cant just select singularity and expect a chill match i have to be engaged and have a tab on everything

1:24 Tbh I think dead hard should be considered an anti-tunnel perk at this rate, it’s basically (to a degree) off the record but it never goes away until its used with the trade off being it’s difficult to time for newer players and if its predicted its practically useless

[@spiralshadow]

yeah i was confused by this comment as well, dead hard is definitely an anti-tunnel perk even if isn't *exclusively* anti-tunnel

[@KayTwoAyy]

I agree 100%. I never ran dead hard during its hayday, and with the nerf I thought I would no longer have a reason to run it. Today, DS and DH are my staple anti-tunneling perks. As great as OTR is, any Killer who wants to tunnel will hit right off hook--completely negating OTR. I find that OTR is strongest against Killers who don't really want to tunnel, but find themselves needing to because they lost momentum. Personally, I only want to counter the Killers that come into a trial looking to tunnel the first survivor out, and DS/DH do a much better job at eating a tunneling killer's time. Never thought I'd be advocating for either perk in 2024, but maybe that is a reflection on where the game has ended up

[@ys2765]

Then bt atni tunnel too 😂

[@acheron16]

The issue is that Dead Hard is almost useless in the case of actual tunnelling, since survivors get hit by the killer when they're unhooked, and Dead Hard doesn't work when you're in deep wound.

[@clemsyaf9627]

​@@acheron16That's why you use it with DS, that gives you your off-hook hit, you get tunneled down, you use DS which resets your health state, and then you can deadhard after that

The killer spent the first 2min teleporting nonstop and finding a white TV to take a VHS from felt impossible because every TV I found was off.

[@softierei]

@@AdAstraCompany all that really changed in her rework as far as i know, is that if she teleports to a tv, all survivors within a certain range of ANY tv gets a stack of condemned. and that getting hooked locks in the stacks of condemned you have for the rest of the game.

SM you are right but not sadako ppl just not understand to take a tape to counter her like Pinhead which both are high

[@eleanorgreywolfe5142]

I'm guessing Freddy and Pig killrates are a combination of having powers that are actually strong in lower MMRs Then their lower playrates will also affect this as because so few people actually play them, people either forget or are rusty in how you actually counter them. This can be observed in fighting games too, where lower ranked/least played fighters tend to do surprisingly well in tournaments because so little actually play them that many simply aren't accustomed to facing them.

[@hatrisfan43]

My personal theory as to why doctor was lower than usual is because of the increased rate of calm spirit usage. Since UW came out, I've seen more and more survivors running calm spitit, and I can imagine that this affects doctor the most.

[@kratosdertoten4035]

[@samcraig8533]

For Freddy I think there’s a small mix. On one hand, perks like pop and nth are really strong, and also devour hope is good because he can teleport away from the hook to gain stacks but use puddles to protect the totem (sleeping survivors will alert you, and awake ones will get interrupted if they fall asleep midway, like with Phead chains to protect totems). On the other hand, new players are really bad. Many of them will go to clocks at every opportunity, it’s so rare to see anyone fail a skill check as nightmare and I assume it’s due to the protection from sleeping given by clocks. That’s useful when you want to unhook or something, but the time waste is massive and there are games where I have a 3v1 because Dwight spent ten seconds on gens and five minutes going to clocks across the map. And the other survivors who haven’t played Freddy maybe don’t understand the lullaby, plenty of times I round a corner to a gen and two survivors are still sitting on it because they didn’t see the red stain or hear the heartbeat. His unpopularity adds to this, where survivors seem to not understand counter play or try to vault a window with a snare and get grabbed because of hindered. Finally, his addons are bad, and his skill ceiling is really, really low. A new player on doctor spamming shocks and resetting bloodlust will get maybe 1 kill, a bad blight will miss rushes and can’t hug tech, wesker keeps vaulting windows and pallets and never grabs the survivor, but Freddy is so easy to play that in low mmr brackets he’s already being played to full strength, maybe missing a perk or two that would make him stronger but you really can’t use him “wrong”.

[@herohades2230]

I would also guess that knowledge of Freddy plays a lot into his kill rate. One of dbd's biggest learning curve is figuring out how all the killers work, so running into a killer that you almost never see, and who has several different abilities/perks that can punish you for reacting wrong, probably helps a lot in setting his kill rate so high.

[@BouncingTribbles]

I wish they had included more high vs all/low mmr comparisons. The pick rates and win rates at high MMR have to be pretty different. I can address a couple of your confusions, because I really think they come from the lack of high and low mmr comparisons. Legion and Chucky have low kill rates because they're popular, this means there are more games played at lower ranks and by people just trying them. You also mentioned that Ghostface is harder to play because of his lean, but you missed that Myers just get's to insta down everyone. They are also both popular so you have a lot of sloppy killers who activate their power at the wrong time, but Myers gets to down everyone anyways and Ghosty watches them start running before he's close enough to actually ambush them. Nurse is also explained by being hard to play and popular, I think even more then the console issues; she's the kind of killer who is balanced where she is.

@@notOtzdarva To add Otz, I think Artist is less popular because she just isn't that flashy a Killer and doesn't do the same loop game a lot of people play this game for, chase is one of the more fun parts of the game. Artist basically cuts chase down to Hold W, which really isn't that fun.

[@skeletonwitch.]

@@ThePhantomSafetyPin i think this is such a misguided line of thought. to me she is a similar level of fun as huntress, only even higher, because your shots can go through obstacles. i can understand not liking to verse artist, especially if she is playing in a strictly loop denying way, but playing her in a sniping way is some of the most fun you can have as killer in my opinion. i think people just don't give her a chance because when they think artist they think "drop bird on pallet/window, move to next tile", and not think of cross-map snipes and cool prediction slingshots, which ARE very flashy! i may just be a biased artist main though.

Just because ppl quit and dont know how to play against the drones. if you stand still, crouch walk, or are doing an action then drones dont detect you. Its easy to get a ton of progress on a gen because the killer gets false confidence with the drone on the gen. Imo, the drones are only good during chase because they give undetectable and haste, however knowing when to w key can be vital and you can buy easy time while she has to wait to recall a drone and place it again.

Regarding Freddy I think his more or less basekit oblivious/undetectable debuff helps him a lot on average. It gets triggered regularly or with each basic attack hit. That is quite powerful especially as you do not have to do any fancy stuff to work with it. And mixed/solo q groups with maybe one or two less experienced players and lacking comms are easy prey for him too. Plus he can teleport. Not necessarily a must, but very nice to have the option. You can also just fake a teleport and freak out players, which can be valuable too. He actually is a very fun m1 killer, I enjoy playing him from time to time.

[@ItzAndyArson]

Fake pallet add on ups his kill rate tremendously too.

[@scarybubblegum5100]

One thing I think people forget about Sadakeo is that she's *really* easy to tunnel and camp with. She can hook, then either stealth nearby, while still being able to check on gens cuz TP allows that instant movement, or she can instant TP nearby on the unhook. Combined with being very hard to pallet stun and bodyblock due to her phasing, for lower mmrs, even tho she's really not good atm, I definitely see how she is doing so "well."

[@slavajuri]

Same with Freddy, Dredge and Xeno. All highly ranked killers here. Makes sense.

[@gmbp193]

I think a possible contributing factor for the Doctor's position is how much of a impact latency has on his chase power, making him quite unpredictable (from the killer's pov)

[@zlaggaming68]

for dredge you can increase your display color for your monitor or tv to make it so your lights don't matter in your room you'll still see around you a little bit. Also i play wraith pretty consistently and I have been using the serpent recently to do a similar effect to running dissalution, which is using spirit fury to cancel the stun animation for being hit with a pallet.

[@Garresh1]

I've bounced between low and mid mmr and played both Myers and Ghostface a lot. I might be able to shed some light on it. In low mmrs you see people go for saves at really bad times, or stay grouped up way more than they should. Myers can snowball into multiple downs very quickly against overly altruistic survivors or survivors that stay close to each other. In low mmr when people stay grouped up you're a lot more likely to get revealed early as Ghostface. Basically the way bad players group up boosts Myers and lowers Ghostface.

[@ThePhantomSafetyPin]

I predict a Ghostface buff, and a pretty decent one, in the next year. I really do. If he's struggling THIS much already the Devs will likely buff him. They buffed Huntress and she hardly needed it, they buffed Trickster and Onryo who did need it, and they're probably going to buff Ghostie too. Everyone at the low end. It's possible Billy has higher killrates now so is fine, but dang. Dang.

It would be amazing if you could make a video about meta perks or meta strats that are region specific like the one you mentioned with self care in asia

Freddy makes a lot of sense, actually. I think an underrated plus of several killers is mobility- Freddy and Sadako both have fantastic ways to constantly zip back to gens, which is really good for low/medium skill players who find themselves stuck in bad chases or unable to find survivors (happens ALL THE TIME) to get them back into the game. The fact that these abilities can be basically spammed and include natural 'slowdown' makes them very easy to play 'well' and very hard to play against for newer players.

[@oreeoxd]

Sad to see that pretty much all killer perks are exclusively slowdown while survivors have such variety

[@Michael-xnxx]

High MMR survivors can rush 5 gens in first 3 minutes (many videos are proof), so im not surprised

[@Arteksoff]

Killers are pretty much forced to use their powers/perks to slow the game down. Otherwise the gens just fly and you lose.

[@Inacurate]

Whether a killer is trying to sweat, or just wants to have fun, both styles face the same limiting factor - time. That should be enough for most people with common sense to realize gen speed is an issue (more so for M1 killers, less so for more mobile and agile killers) and needs to be addressed. When I play killer, I aim for fun....which for me is chasing and hooking each twice, then letting all escape assume there was no BM'ing. The fun is in the chase, it's in the mind games. If the gens fly by at the speed of light, the opportunity for fun is drastically limited. :( BHVR has made this issue and they're going to have to take drastic action to course correct. Adding 10 seconds to gen repair time was a start, but they need to do more. Whether that's more time to repair or some other nuanced solution, more is needed. I would prefer they dream up a nuanced solution, as some killers don't need the help. But again...they've made this bed by leaving some killers/builds OP and hand-holding survivors so they aren't forced to learn the game.

[@Ineedabigboi1771]

​@@InacurateI really wish that they make gen timer is around 120-130 seconds while buffing alturistic gens and nerfing gen slowdowns Even if gens are going to pop in first 90 seconds of the match, it's at least going to be 1 or 2, but not all 3 right after your first chase

[@TappedWalnut]

I wouldn't say exclusively. 5 out of 10 ain't that bad. Top 5 is slowdown though so probably mostly a combo of those with one on the right side. But yeah, killers bring slowdown a lot. Kinda just the way the cookie crumbles. They have the least counterplay and buy you time. What's not to like about that as killer. Also just keep in mind the casual mindset. Not everybody brings these perks to win persay. I am not the best killer, i will admit that 100%, so those perks combined with not tunnel visioning an uncatchable survivor, don't even have to be that good, just better than me, atleast give me some competetive matches that aren't over in 5 minutes. I can and will lose with meta builds, just think how bad it goes when I don't.

We just did gens and left. Sounds similar to the doctor situation

[@paiadidaisada9133]

Winrate numbers are such a fascinating thing. I was a coach in Smite, and I can tell you, winrates because of popularity are extremly impactful. I have seen characters get mega buffed and lower their winrates because of becoming a character everyone plays. Freddy does not surprise me at all in this regard, and neither does Chucky because of this. There is more to factor than one thinks, and I am sure there are little things that could make the stats make more sense. I remember there was 1tank item in Smite that had always a ridiculous winrate in any character, without being crazy good or anthing, it was even risky to use. The reason I found out: the item only made sense to be bought if you were wining, and sentencing a win is easier than overcoming a difficult game. Just like this, Nurse will never have a good winrate, even if they bring the old one back, because what makes her problematic is the base movement speed. If you are not having a good day with Wesker, you can always just try to M1. She cannot do that. She has to blink, and if you are struggling, you will barely injure anyone. This reason applies to the case of the 110% killers. None are super high up there (only Hag kinda works because of other reasons) because they rely on their abilities. Chucky and Deathslinger can bruteforce the results, Huntress can face infinites if they are not good at her, and she is one of the most popular killers which will bring her down even harder. I would like to have more profound stats to analyze what is going on here, like the winrates per perk, winrates in the top percenters (how unavoidable is a killer if played to the best level), percentage of 0k and 4k of each killer... but as it is, this already tells us certain things. Great work as always, I would have never thought about the Doctor issue and seems very plausible.

The Freddy conversation is really interesting. I feel like his stats might rise soon as well, given the growing "gen block" perk strategy.

[@xXxXxBetrayerxXxXxX]

In my opinion, one of the most important factors that keep pinhead so high up in the win% is the fact that he's probably the hardest killer to 3v1 against, so if he tunnels someone out quickly, it's almost a guaranteed win (whereas to other killers this still applies, but to a much less extent), especially considering he has the original pain add-on, which allows him to effectively tunnel. When you're 3v1 against him, not only do you have the usual scenario of a survivor in chase, one on the hook and one going for the rescue, but you also have to worry about the box. Good luck doing gens at that point! EVEN if he has trouble catching someone and the chase lasts a long time, that still keeps 2 survivors busy - one in chase and one handling the box. And let's not forget that he can also run slowdown perks. I don't think I've ever had a single win as survivor vs a Pinhead in a 3v1 scenario. Either we stay 4-man strong and work well together as a team until we all escape or at least until the end-game, or he manages to kill at least 3/4, with the last one either getting the usual gifted escape or the hatch.

[@ThePhantomSafetyPin]

I Main Pinhead, Myers, Ghostface, Dredge, Sadako, and also play Legion, Wraith, and Demo sometimes. Pinhead in particular is just really hard to deal with. You get someone who is bad, someone who goes down fast, someone who flails against him, and the team is doomed. It's hard to deal with as a 4v1 generally, but even harder as your numbers shrink.

This means that the Doctor may only locate stronger survivors and have difficulty chasing them down.
