Trapper's strongest State was early in the game when infinites where a really common thing and he was the only playable killer

[@Afrochilla]

He was the only killer that could do anything about infinites. Mid-late 2016 he was the best killer in the game.

[@deresfer1525]

Moreover, he was setting traps into the stairs and other obstacles to make them invisible

[@mage7194]

There was a time where trapper could keep survivors on the hook by trapping the hook. It made it impossible for survivors to unhook, since that time traps couldn't be unset. This was in beta. Trapper was ridiculous at beta, but infinites existed so I guess that game was ridiculous during beta.

[@NJM0324]

Even back then, trapper was pretty bad. Sure he could trap infinite windows, but those traps could be permanently sabotaged. If you had a toolbox, you didn't even have to disarm them before breaking them. Also, even if you trapped an infinite window, there would still be 5 more elsewhere on the map.

[@BunnychanFarabee]

Trapper was actually awesome back when maps actually had thick grass. There were also some spots in previous iterations of maps like Ormond or Crotus Prenn that completely hid his traps, i.e. they would no-clap into the floor but still activate. While he's had QoL updates to his base kit, said kit has always been map dependent.

[@georgialopez7717]

Freddy has always had the short end of the stick sadly. He was viewed as the weakest upon his release, his rework made him more effective but took away the little artistic flavor he had, only to be nerfed to the ground. Also, in a weird way, Nurse might be outdated. Maybe she seems more domineering to people now than back in 2016 simply because the game doesn't have the stealth play it once did. Just a thought.

[@AZHYMOVS]

That's a good point on stealth, hadn't considered that tbh

In my opinion, Ghosty was probably best at the time before the healing meta became common. Ghosty benefited off of hit and run with sloppy butcher, nurses and thana. now thana is eh and people heal really fast now. Great vid btw, i love it when you upload!

[@theslavicrat3784]

Also the buff he received lowkey nerfed him. Like currently its so easy to reveal him its crazy. The 60 sec mark ? fundamentally useless since Ghostface is not supposed to have long chases. Has some niche uses but why not Addon rework ? Very cool but since his power doesn't work half the time its meh Marked person cant reveal him? nice quality of life but again minimal Legit I think he lost more than he gained since his one of his only strengths was the buggy reveal mechanic lmao

[@knightmarecx2069]

No

[@matchesmalone2201]

Very minor tweaks with a restored version would be awesome! They could have adjusted a single add-on and he would have been fine.

[@emiliablackthorn]

As a prestige 3 sadako main i can certainly say your take is pretty accurate as there isn’t a whole lot you can do to make her stronger shes an overall decent killer but is dragged down by whatever the current meta is and her playstyle

[@lukejones9313]

honestly, the Twins are in my top 5 favourite killers in the game. they can be extremely powerful, shutting down loops and useful for getting information with idle Victor and killer instinct, but also their lore is really fascinating. defo my top 5 (artist, huntress, onryo and deathslinger being 1-4)

[@jeffreymonsell659]

I didn't think I would like Deathslinger, but the sound design on the firing of his gun is top notch. It makes you feel so powerful.

[@Craiguuu]

2016 Trapper right when the game launched was insane honestly

[@jR0xas]

I'd argue that trapper was strongest in the beginning just because he was the only killer who could deal with infinites and you could also trap under hooks.

[@SushiReversed]

I'd argue that Hag has gotten worse with the addition of Circle of Healing, which makes her hit&run playstyle far less effective. Survivors constantly running off and healing means Hag is not often able to catch an injured survivor with a single well-placed trap.

[@nacify]

trickster's strongest state was when everyone was abusing the pierce + splash damage addons as you could down someone in like 4 seconds just by aiming at their feet. it was a kind of big thing where everyone dc'd when they played him during that time

[@lowesthen]

Hey man just wanted to say love your vids your the one that actually inspired me to start playing dbd again

[@sp_ce.]

That bye at the end was so happy it made my day

[@schinkrio5575]

One thing I think would be important to consider about this topic is: The gameplay elements have majorly changed alongside the killers. Back when the game initially released, there wasn't much of a "meta" per say, at least not in the way it exists now. Some things just were the way they were. With that in mind, I'd argue Trapper back then was actually one of the better killers... which isn't hard, at the start there were only three. But with not many of the newer perks to go with, he was the only real way to get map-control back then. Wraith was just hidden and Billy just had a solit mobility and insta-down. Trapper on the other hand could basically be at multiple places at the same time, because of his traps, and also end chases pretty fast through them. The only thing that'd counter him was Small Game, which did work for basically disabling his map pressure, but it didn't help when already in a chase.

[@BuckBlaziken]

People complained how trickster was “too weak” when in reality he was average. But devs took it as he was severely underpowered and buffed him unnecessarily. Now he’s unstoppable at loops without line of sight breakers. This had the unintended effect of people calling him the most “annoying” and “frustrating” killer to play against. I’m a dredge main and I’d say dredge’s best state is right now too. The only real weakness dredge has is survivors locking lockers immediately once the round begins, and tall jungle gyms

[@barrolboi5101]

Small idea: all killers locker grab animations ranked from worst to best. That would be cool

[@NJM0324]

I feel like trapper's strongest state was before they started doing all of the map visual reworks. His kit might have been weaker, but you could hide his traps in grass way easier. Most of the maps make his traps super visible now and it's way harder to hide them. I also think there's an argument for blight being stronger closer to release than he is now. The aura reading addon had a range of 16 meters instead of 8, and the aura reading lasted longer. Alchemist ring was also bugged and made rushes recharge 50% faster in addition to refilling all rushes on hit. He could flick way harder and could turn a full 180 degrees behind him. There are also other techs that he had that have been patched out. Lastly, even though the low FOV made him harder to play, I feel survivors were generally way worse at playing against him since he wasn't as popular of a killer. Old ruin undying was also super oppressive on him.

[@GrimCross]

honestly I've been preaching this a lot, but give trapper the ability to camouflage his traps either by the entity making them invisible or by giving him a extra action to do so, even the playing field so to speak with ever other killer.

[@ConnorC2023]

The angry nurse gameplay at the beginning lol

[@MrDoritoManII]

bro your vids are so straightforward and in my opinion a really good storyteller

[@azrael9561]

Pig used to be able to use Coup de Gras with her ambush and able to get double distance and speed when Twins release or PTB.

[@AZHYMOVS]

really? wow that would be so interesting to see now

[@flufwukutarazard1675]

I love the "BYyYyyYeEeEeE" at the end, so funny hahahaha.

[@unoriginal_5]

I personally think slinger's ads time wasnt the problem with him, but the small terror radius and pairing it with m&a compared to his max range was definitely the problem. however, I dont think the ads should return to what it was, but it should be increased via basekit or rework addons to increase ads speed so that he has a better chase potential whilst still being not able to shoot you off a gen when you csnt even hear his terror radius

[@lukejones9313]

[@Vacuumbead]

As a nemesis main I think nemesis is a bit weaker now than on release due to two things, one being that even with buffs to zombie ai they are still useless 9/10 games and the second being the nerf to his marvins blood add on which used to let him reach t2 with two hits even if they were on the same survivor

[@chainz339]

Bro love the videos. They’re so interesting and entertaining

[@dolluan25]

Trickter use to have an add on combo where he could take his piercing knives and shattering knife add ons and take health states with 3-4 hits by aiming at your feet. He could also use the combo to eat through BT before you finish the unhook animation and would tunnel without care for ds. That was his strongest point

[@WilliamDoheny]

The only thing I debate in this video is when you sent that Trickster’s Main Event is more accessible because of the longer time to use it, which is true, but Main Event now takes more knife hits before you get it so I’d say it evens out.

[@KingBurger52]

I'd argue Nemesis has gotten worse. He only had 3 decent addons which was Marvin's Blood, Ink Ribbon, and Mikhail's eye, but two of them were nerfed. The RPD Badge got buffed but the zombies AI is as sad as ever, so it makes little difference if they're zooming at 150%. Discordance used to attract the zombies too, but I noticed it no longer works, at least in my matches. Really, the only "useful" buff he got was moving at survivor speed with his tentacle out, but only at Tier 3.

[@firegamedbd7049]

Blight was definitely during old Ruin/ Tinkerer/ Undying. The "small pp" killer build on him was just too strong.

[@z-man_playz_shortz]

Behavior: we have a problem with some of the killers in DBD, so now what do we do? An employee: nerf pig Behavior:...that's exactly what we need you're promoted, now nerf pig.

[@pawncube6787]

Old Myers used to literally make the game a 2v3 bc the obsession would consistently feed Michael stalks and PWYF stacks in exchange for BP and Hatch.

[@Sxmpra_]

Wish there was an addon where you could just throw traps and have them set off and in return you can’t pick them up and maybe limit it to being able to hold 3 or something

[@yoyomaster17]

Yesss another w vid by azyhmovs

[@impoweredpotato8629]

I’m a survivor main but why is this nurse gameplay so fun to watch

[@RAWR26633]

I would argue that trapper is at his weakest now more than ever. His biggest strength is not his loop trapping, but the grass that used to cover nearly all of the map. Early upon release there were tons of grass, fog, and darkness that made his traps nearly invisible. That is gone now. With survivor perks coming out that make them much more powerful and gen rushing much easier the trapper gets weaker and weaker upon every update as new killers come out and new survivor perks arrive that honestly shut him down. These days it really doesnt matter what you trap, survivors will see them and jus run around them or ignore them.

[@smaffer5673]

[@Barbatos_100]

The strongest state of Wraith was when he had 1.25 seconds of a speed boost after uncloaking.

[@destroidhak2556]

Trapper's best state would probably be after the last buff he got, because more and more maps begin disfavouring him, so the less worse maps for him there are, the better for him

Wraiths strongest state was after he got that massive buff to lunge speed out of stealth

[@LuisGarcia-up4jm]

Trapper was back in the day when there was 2 or 3 killers and wraith when the uncloacking speed couldn’t be countered by even sprint burst

[@hauntedastolfobeanplushie1956]

I'd say that trapper was also stronger before some map changes, because the grass now is easier to see through, making his traps less effective

[@Ohri___]

As much as I love the cute "Okay BYEEE", I feel dissatisfied finishing the video without Azhymov's classic "Thanks and goodbye" :(

[@toxicwaste225]

All of the killers are too strong so I think we need to nerf pig

[@thequeenoftheabsols]

Rank every killers hit cooldown? Like, the animation after hitting a survivor

[@Tuchuuu]

I think Wraiths strongest was when he had both the extended lunge(rip btw) and the cloak speed. It gave him an okay antiloop and he had good map traversal. Still don’t understand that lunge nerf, so unnecessary.

[@cyberk1ng_]

We want the lunge back

[@infernoblast853]

For Nurse i feel like Old omega blink nurse (i think early 2017?) was the strongest point, when the longer blink ranges did not make the blink take longer to charge, and with the faster blink speed. She could cross map in literally 5 seconds While ignoring everything in the way. There was literally no way to outrun a original omega blink nurse if they knew the timing.

[@theunknown1155]

I saw 1 min of his nurse gameplay, and I decided that his opinion is worthless. (I know it sounds like it's because of how bad hi played but actually because i don't agree with what he is saying).

[@saucypepperoni]

[@nikanau2041]

I was expecting a background playback with the killers, the author was talking about. Wouldn't it be great to actually see what he describes? If course that's lots of footage to collect.

[@treceiver]

In my opinion Trickster’s strongest state was when he could bring two very rare addons (sorry I forgot their names) and injure survivors with 4 knifes

[@youknowwhoitis.itsmyname4746]

Ok, now do every perks strongest times in history

[@WeskyPanda]

I think wesker has been more strong since launch and not so much during ptb. I think before his launch. His post rush movement speed after the first rush was pretty low and running loose crank with 15% extra speed made up for it. Then at launch they made the 15% base kit. And decreased loose cranks power by 7% from 15%. I'm not too sure. I'd have to look at the patch notes for wesker to be sure

[@Pokedude1110]

Wesker was incredibly weak during the PTB. Just because he had dumb hitboxes doesn't mean he was good. In fact, there were a lot of quirks in his power that could be used against him easily, like vaulting a pallet immediately after he vaults it, or vaulting a window in front of him, which wouldn't do anything and would give the survivor extra distance.

[@SaulTacMan]

Very unique ideas, keep it up (if you want to)

[@deadshotdaiquiri4401]

[@mrdoomman97]

I don't understand why people think rat liver was a good addon lol. just because it was the least dogshit addon in the pile didn't make it a good addon. Also rat liver effects was "nerfed" because they made it partially base kit. I firmly believe that demo was the strongest after his addon rework (so now)

[@Emmetlovesredvelvet13]

The pigs issue is shes trying to do to much with too little Ive noticed. Wanna be stealthy why on earth do you yell with your ambush attack. Focus on your reverse bear trap gimmick rng is a bitch. Well play like a normal killer kinda hard when her kit doesn't have anything to really help with that. Trying to do everything without the substance for it is such a bad thing literally the only thing that helps was the rework on how jigsaw boxes work and even then thats only one problem . This is coming from a pig main she's just mediocre

[@ayosnack1607]

Nemesis' zombies did get shadow buffed recently 🧟‍♀️ 🧟‍♂️ 🔼 I believe they were buffed a couple of times after launch as well

[@saihiko9967]

i say for trapper has to be after he was able to hold 2 traps and before all the map reworks because most map reworks removed grass which removed trapper's ability to use them, because now a days i take no haste after putting a trap down for more grass on the ground.

[@blauwyvern2956]

Trickster release in my opinion was horrible, the amount of hits required were a lot, the timer for them to decay didn't feel the effort, main event had like a 5 second timer where you could use it, the stun after it was longer, the only thing that were better in my opinion was the larger amount of blades that you could carry, and even then because of the extra amount of knives it was still unbearable

[@Supernova0211]

They nerfed Nemesis' best addon Marvin's blood semi recently so I'd definitely say he's worse now than before that change, still a good killer though and overall this was a great video.

[@kyokonarygirls5637]

Imo Tricksters strongest state was in the PTB that reworked blood favor and you could activate it with every blade you threw it was a bug I know but possibly one the better states for a mediocre killer.
