The Problem With Every Decoder in Identity V

[@flaviogutierrezllanos3330]

You don't need skill to decode that's the thing. Yeah, all people can decode but no everyone can kite and that's why kitters are praised . Hunter usually focus decoders to stop cipher rush and also because they are not also weak but many times they are people being Carried by others. You only have 1/4 chances to find the decoder and if they don't do it in the beginning the Hunter will waste time finding them or get cipher rushed. But if you do you are most likely going to end up with a tie. Decoders are no needed in idv actually and so you proved it just by looking at high pro gaming . Why decode a lil bit faster when you can do that with other charas but also giving support or being pretty good at kitting etc? Wish I could play idv again and bully decoders 😆

[@SilminaIDV]

Aww. Decoders main, wanna give some opinion about it? :)

[@shadowconquer-yv5yd]

Not a decoder main but I agree somewhat. Honestly, I just play decoders not to decode but rather to kite. Decoders are weaker in kiting but they're satisfying to me when you get hunted down. But as you said, decoders seems redundant as other roles can decode fast enough anyways. They're still dangerous to hunters with their fast decode leading them to get hunted first. The problem is decoding which is seen as passive and a fundamental part of the game that everyone can easily do, unlike kiting which is a fundamental part of the game but something not everyone can easily do. But I disagree with decoders being unneeded. Decoders are still needed because some people like to combine weak decoders in one team leading to cipher rush getting slowed down heavily. This means, the kiter must kite longer and against a good hunter (both player and character) that won't happen. Plus it stresses the kiter a lot.

@@SilminaIDV Nerf everyone's decoding speed but decoders' IDV, thanks I like playing decoders because they are way more challenging as well as interesting as characters.

I think it’s due to a pro decoders goal is to be invisible like as idv ver of brutal legend says “A good decoder stays out of the spotlight, if they’re doing their job right, you’ll never know they were there.

[@Chirubuni]

@@zoe-ks7si Lemme try to explain When Luca connects 2 ciphers most of the time he wants to be the one transferring his cipher's progress to yours so he sets his transfer speed to 48%. This will make your cipher finish much faster If you also set your transfer progress to 48% then that will slow down BOTH of you and Luca's decoding progress. Cipher A 48% and Cipher B at 0% = Cipher B will finish extremely quick Cipher A 48% and Cipher B at 48% = Both ciphers will slow down decoding progress and finish late

[@charliee-]

@@zoe-ks7si to add to the other reply, when sending progress some of it is lost (the total amount depends on the distance between the ciphers). prisoner gets a 10% decode buff when on a connected cipher which makes up for this loss, but if you send 48% back you actually lose progress overall

you forgot to mention how Tracy can get a 70% decoding debuff just for allies getting hurt two times

[@SilminaIDV]

Oh haha right, I forgot that one. Thanks for telling :)

[@NeoZeta]

Yeah, I was waiting on that one. As someone who tried to main Tracy, I feel like the picture of her shown in this video is too positive. First off, you won't be getting any rescues with that doll against any Hunter that can tell left from right. So being unaffected by Naiad's piss is irrelevant (in a rare case of a blue moon perhaps). Second, playing "second perfumer" with the doll is like playing Russian roulette, but all chambers are loaded except one. It's harder to pull than a flywheel. This coming from someone who practiced to exhaustion how to pull that off, and yes, I can get it right but it's not easy at all (and it even messes up your camera setup because of the change of perspectives). Third, she becomes a liability with that 70% debuff. Hunters will thank you for using her anyway because she slows cipher progress by just existing. Your only choice is to use the doll for decoding (at normal speed), which is not very durable and also means you won't be playing "second perfumer" either. :)

[@Mrs.pinkalicious]

@@NeoZetayea she’s pretty useless

[@randomshizk1883]

​@@NeoZeta about the camera perspective, you can change that in setting to have two separate cameras, or have the same one for you and your bot

[@NeoZeta]

@@randomshizk1883 You will want to have separate, in my experience, for double decoding. Sharing the same sucks when doing it. It slows down your interactions. And that is exactly what messes you up when the doll get hit right behind you. Also, there is still some delay before being able to move, unlike the perfumer, which is instant, because it has to temporarily change to the doll's perspective, then to yours, and only after it you can move. So by then, the hit recovery is almost complete.

[@Many_Fandoms]

I never realize how decoders aren’t getting much praise like I love decoders who actually decode and help along the fact that they can kite or save besides lawyer I hate his character not the players.

[@ServerOneClaudia]

as a semi helena main, she actually does have a chase/support ability, technically multiple. you see, helena doesnt excel in kiting, she excels in looping, helena can see the hunter through walls passively, making it harder for the hunter to mindgame, plus, helenas cane actually makes the hunters animations slower for five seconds, this includes pallet stuns, pallet breaking, hit animation, window vaulting, and even ability animations, helena shows that as long as you read the description of a character, youll definitely obtain some important knowledge of how they function

[@SilminaIDV]

Former 88th Helena here, and I would say those are true. And yes, those can help Helena mains...if they use her properly. The sad truth is, more often than not, I see Helena offering herself for lunch to the hunter :')

[@ashgreninja220]

While I’m a lucky guy main, when there’s times we need a decode or I feel like decoding, Luca is the best choice for me since I can decode and kite (I’m a kiter and rescuer). Doing both is such a nice to have in one character, granted it’s not as great as other characters but it’s still something to have, plus the connected ciphers also act as a free getaway or free distance since the hunter want to stop the decoding and by the time they’re done, you’re already at a pallet or window

@@SilminaIDV that's what I'm doing as well 😂

[@NeoZeta]

Not a Helena main, but when I play her (which is rare), the early rotation is the most important part of the game. Don't touch a cipher until the hunter is chasing someone else. Of course, later once it's late to hide, you may go down, but hopefully by then you've already contributed enough with decoding %. In a perfect scenario, you never even run into the Hunter until it's escape time. Just use your decoding speed to compensate for the hiding time. You can see the hunter from the get-go, so it shouldn't be difficult to know where they are headed. Downside is that all of this relies on your teammates not being 'bots' getting TSd and chaired left and right, which forces you to come out of hiding.

AGREEEEEE, I main prisoner as decoder and always get 3 chiphers.

im a decoder main at heart so no matter who im playing i focus on decoding. i like playing helena and freddy the most cause i can see where hunter is to avoid them i would main freddy if he was a girl

@@SilminaIDV true, but i feel like it's only fair the kiter gets most of the credit if you base it more on gameplay xD

[@RaidenEi_114]

What doesnt make sense to me is that they're called decoders but have kiting abilities, like???? Decoders arent supposed to be found, so giving them a kiting skill is just weird to me. Mech is an example of a decoder who doesnt have a kiting ability, and yet there she is with the title of worst decoder of the game

[@SilminaIDV]

You're right. Maybe a hiding and detection skill instead of kiting skill

[@vmvm949]

2:38 omg that was so me as a A badge explorer, not to count all the time hunters spendend like a whole 30 seconds just trying to find me and not finding me at all Now that i only play duos no ones praises the decoders even if you do 400%

[@identitygameruwu3132]

One precious day, as I was playing rhythm games for about three years straight, friend of mine invited me to that silly little game you call Identity V. They were like, yeah, I know you don't like playing games at all and rhythm ones are the only you tolerate, but maybe try this one out.

[@cool_kai3298]

I highly importunate decoders, I spam the decode message and even bash it in pals face pre match "y'all better decode fast" because if we don't highlight the importance of decoding we would all kite to death at 3 ciphers! my formula for a perfect match in 5v5 is one person kiting hunt while 3 ppl decode until 2 cipher, then when that one gets down another person can rescue and assist, then two other people finish the last ciphers! I owe everything to decoders

[@SilminaIDV]

Yeah! Like, decoders don't get that much appreciation, and that's kinda sad :')

I want some justice for Mechanic. Ok we can go back so slow Mech and all her kite, but touching her robot was one of the biggest mistakes that was made. By nerfing her robot they completely killed her and even in rank I remember before the robot nerf(and other questionable things done with her) she was picked almost every match, but now I almost never see her

[@scorinka6309]

And for old player that liked Mech so much and played her, now she’s so bad(she can even be the worst decoder right now, but mb I just speed things up)

[@CozemarieEllowyn]

Tip for Composer mains from a Composer Main: Please for the love of all that is holy LEARN HOW TO STOP CARING ABOUT YOUR STREAK! Trust me when I say the 100+ combo isn’t gonna boost you at all. It’s easy to get lost in the big numbers, but please, the only numbers that are important to you are the 80 tonal stacks and the 20% decoding speed buff. Missing one note isn’t the end of the world (it only takes away .25 of your speed boost and 1 tonal stack and it’s really easy to recover. It ONLY sets the combo to zero, nothing else), it’s only a problem if you miss three in a row because it reveals your location as if you missed a cipher correction. If you wanna be a good Frederick, you gotta learn how to multitask and not fuss over a lost streak. It might look hard, but with enough practice, the rhythm game will become second nature to you and you can watch for the hunter, ping your progress, and pjsk that cipher all at the same time! As for kiting, DO NOT WASTE THAT FORK! It’s your lifeline, and if you don’t use it effectively, you’re on your own for a good 50 seconds. Use it to get out of bad kiting spots, transition to new areas, or just to escape sticky situations. Also, Frederick’s worst enemy is actually Yiddhra. Some people get so lost in the rhythm sauce they fail to notice the little Yiddhra icon at the top.

[@SilminaIDV]

They should play Osu instead :D

[@kore4912]

Felt like commenting because majority of the comment section are decoder mains and previous roles. Honestly to me, the decorders in idv is not that relevant because survivor can also do decoding and sometimes decode buff is not that important then kiting buffs. Sure like Lawyer has receieve buffs that help him become a kiter role but not like Mech and Mind's Eye. It is like questioning yourself "do i need someone to buff me when I decode?" or "do i need a support characters who has decoding debuff?" . All im saying is that professional/rank wise, they are not as much as important as kiting for your life or have a perfect rescue to be called "PRO". I also realize as I played IDV, being a decoder is not fun (to me). I'm also an explorer and mech who brings tide (because hiding from the start of the game) but stopped when season 18-19. I stopped using them because it made me realize I put to much pressure being a decoder and sometimes you need to rely on your skills and if you unsuccedd doing kiting, rescue or even decoding, it is a skill issue. Anyways I want to share a perspective from a support, kiter and resue role duoing with a decoder who she founds decoders challenging and fun.

@@SilminaIDV LOL!

[@NotWolves]

Decoding is as easy as taking terror shock 5 seconds in the game lol. Even the quick message has a cheer for kiting, not decoding. A catch to that is that u don't have to sweat over teammates flaming u for failing (unless u miss the priming). In one of BBlack Phoenix's videos, he also mentions the problem where trades/risks when u pick a certain character getting removed, due to the "jack of all trades" design approach the game has made in the last few years. It takes away the uniqueness and satisfaction it brings when u master a character. Ppl barely touch mech now just bcuz of her debuff without acknowledging that she used to be top tier if u just master the robot control. Cipher rush also makes decoders look less important now if u can just kite long enough to the endgame.

That intro is way too long, next time shorten it and immediately get into the topic And also the problem with Kurt is it takes way too long to get a treasure, it's better to decode the nearest cipher rather than spend your time running and digging, he's only valuable against hunters that camp ciphers like Clerk, Photographer, Hermit, etc.
