[@KumaNicol]

That's the sign of a worthwhile debate, both people should explain to the other why they think the way they do. Was a nice watch. Sadly what this also shows is.. the way the game is designed, they gave both extremes, and regardless of which is chosen, the game will inherently have an issue. If you go with Otz idea, slugging becomes a lot stronger, securing 1 hook kills being the focus, but with Tru3, the person who gets hooked will try their BEST to get in your way, it promotes the toxic clicky clicky flashlight, trying to drag them away from fresh hook teammates. real rough state the games in, and even the big guys don't have the perfect answer, nobody does.

[@FutureScopeX]

They're both amazing reps for the game health(:

[@darklordmathias9405]

@@KumaNicol Very much agree with that. I've seen more toxic players in Dbd, both sides that is, than I have for nearly anything else I've seen. It seems, in my opinion, that this game brings out the worst in people. Which, imo, is probably why there are so many problems. On one side, you have toxic survivors that whine and complain and blame the killer, or even the game, for mistakes they themselves made, or even attempt to make SURE that the killer has no fun, and on the other you have crybaby killers that can't man up and accept the fact that sometimes you just get out played, and ALSO want survivors to not have fun. But at the same time, both Otz and Tru3 want what they believe is best for the game. But the thing is, what someone believes is best for the game isn't always what actually IS best for the game. For example, my personal belief is that smaller map sizes would help balance things a lot more. Killers won't have enormous amounts of time wasted just crossing the map to check a gen(which may, or may not, even have a survivor in it) while also not increasing time to finish a gen, so survivors aren't sitting on them for 20 minutes trying to just not get killed. Regardless of who ends up having the better idea, or what gets implemented, I still hope that the game health takes enough priority in the dev's minds that the biggest problems with the game get fixed, and I'll return to playing again. But, until then, here I sit. Waiting for the update that brings me back in to come.

[@EVILAKUMA]

RESPECT TO BOTH, they have both done alot for the community.

[@HK-lx5nx]

I think that True said it best in some of his other videos, the game counts on newer players who will make a lot of mistakes. But when you take on the upper echelon of survivors (oftentimes SWF), their ability to abuse the meta and generators leaves the killer to play in a way that is very dry. Against a good SWF, three generators will be done before a trapper sets up. It takes away from varying gameplay styles because it’s a massive sweaty game. If anything, in my opinion, the developers should divide SWF from Solos better. Depending on the size of the SWF group, maybe the killer can get certain buffs to make the game more balanced. On a normal Solos game, there is more diversity of gameplay styles as it is.

[@jaysal_dies]

Scott Jund has a pretty solid video tackling this problem. He basically suggests improving info/comms for survivors to make the solo-q experience better without strengthening SWFs.

[@reeepingk]

How do you separate people on coms (which is what you're referring to when you say SWF) from people who just want to play together without coms? I like to play with my friends, but we don't use coms. Should we be penalized even though we have no advantage over a solo queue?

[@twistedlotus4057]

This game sounds impossible to balance after listening to both of you for a while.

[@adamknri11]

It’s an asymmetrical 4v1 game it is impossible to balance. If you balance around the highest level like tru seems to want, then the 85-90% of the player base that’s casual solo players will stop playing. But if you balance around having the newer players having fun, the older players would leave, and the newer ones would leave once they get more game time. It’s just not possible

[@thebluebaron855]

@Chuck Finley no sadly it isn't possible to balance an Asymmetrical game that is almost literally the point of the genre Asymmetrical.

[@Cinna3unnz]

Tru3 has a point, more than half my games are boring because all I'm doing is repairing and I only see the hunter in the end game so here are my suggestions (I will also mention the pros and cons) that are taken and/or inspired from other games, some asymmetrical and some aren't. 14:32 perhaps having a radius around the hook that stops the hook time when a hunter is in it has to have a limit buy that limit in of itself can be camped. Perhaps the game can get rid of hook times entirely and replace it with a respawn timer, by that I mean once survivors go down they die instantly but aren't finished with the game, instead there is a timer until they respawn; but that would get rid of the hooks which is a major aspect of pressure for the survivors and many perks are depended on that, not mentioning that stopping the save also clutches games and taking hooks away would pretty much make a whole new game. I think the issue is giving the killer the ability to focus down on one particular person without them being able to fend for themselves straight out of the hook. So again, maybe get rid of the hooks and have only downs but Maybe instead of a timer, have another objective. Lets say survivors can only be placed on a hook once and after thay, they are dead but then they are turned into a ghost and can assist the others to loop the killer with some ethereal abilities while another none dead survivor goes to an altar and summons a respawn for their ghost buddy. So to paraphrase this one idea, have a one hook premise with a new objective to respawn your allies for an infinite amount of times but have the respawn objective really slow or long and give the hunter an alert. Maybe have the ghost buddy be able to come back not as a human but as a zombie who can help out with objectives but at a slower pace and can not be hooked until the rest of the allies are also zombies, so the focus is off one bad player and it is up for the rest to pick up the pace. Now I don't have a solution for the point system, I personally don't like it and with this idea the whole goal is for the killers to kill and survivors to survive and not about some stupid bloodpoint shit. What do you guys think? It encourages teamplay with the respawn objective and ability having undead team mates, while somewhat removing tunneling and completely removing camping. The biggest issue is I am just essentially made a whole new game. For killers, maybe give them phases. Much like how the new killer has a new powered state to spam his knives then how about instead of making that an ability right from the bat, what if it was a phase or upgrade based from the amount of hooks the killer gets or even hits amd downs? To counter dcing for a hatch play for someone, how about the option to dc is removed completely and is replaced by a surrender option that the whole team has to agree; which, will insta kill every survivor and end the game in the killers favor.

[@mitchellknight9135]

One thing I feel wasn’t mentioned in this video is the situational awareness that a killer needs to have to split pressure on survivors. Otz being a trapper main I feel has learned to play the game in a catch up sort of way. Playing from behind because of the trap setup phase forces him to think about where all the survivors are. Then using his snowball potential as a killer to capitalize on the mistakes of the survivors to win the game. I don’t feel he is outright tunneling a survivor to make it a 3v1 I feel like he is only taking opportunities he is faced with and outplaying the Survivors.The proposed idea of slowing game progression to allow for 12 chases, downs, and hooks per game by the killer take out the variable of situational awareness and changes it to a structured game where the survivors essentially work on gens until it’s their turn to be chased and then downed 3 times.

[@jordanfriederichs8698]

@[JINX] Reaper I didn’t see it that way. They both talked over each other and let the other talk equally. It’s a part of a conversation sometimes it’s your turn to keep talking and sometimes you should just shut up and listen. I feel like both of them were very civilized and both knew their way around a conversation. I feel like you’re only noticing the times Otz did the talking and True shut up and not when it happened the other way around. All in all a great discussion and I wish that the devs would listen to people that actually understand their game and not their incredibly flawed statistics.

[@jinxreaper9158]

@Bubba101 Yes, but for a few of those he had to use very extreme cases and it turns out that he agreed with the point anyway which was just making it a pointless tangent. Ofc you can counter one argument with another and both of them did this multiple times (surprise surprise) but there were a few times where it leads to nothing

[@sakunaaintzero9820]

Otz flaw in his logic is the fact that he’s trying to apply it at every level of the game. For example, I’d way rather killer be fun and fair for all the killers except trapper and hag if that means the other killers are good/even. I mean i know for a fact ppl are tired of going against nurse/freddy/spirit. You can’t defend every level of game to try and balance it. AND OBVIOUSLY there are a TON of trash players at every level due to the poor ranking system too, killer will always destroy the survivors at any rank unless they’re a swf.

[@rainbowzgaming5375]

2 different mindsets to the game. Otz is stating competitive while True is talking reward for interesting play. Otz believes kills will show how well you did in a game. True agrees with that but believes it’s boring. Incentivizing going for more hooks somehow would allow everyone to play a more interesting game. He’s not saying hook one go to another go to another. He’s saying reward killers for not face camping somehow, then spitballing ideas. I play both survivor and killer and believe the game is largely survivor sided. Not saying killers can’t do well. Just saying the gens go way too fast with decent teams even if you as the killer do well. Maybe making gens take a little longer and adding in that 5-10% regression pop for kicking a gen after leaving a hook? Idk. In some ways you DO get rewarded for more hooks because you get more points at the end of the game than if you slug everyone and single hook. But again what True is saying is it’s not fun. Either way I think both are correct in their own assessments of their own play styles. But I still believe the argument over objective speed is valid.

[@basednuke7647]

Favouring Hooks vs Kills is just Good Logic for the Health of the Game.

[@BuutFlier]

And if 12 hooking would be possible easily killers who are not nice got unfair advantage.

[@BuutFlier]

@Harry Beckenbauer I mean If killers get buffed to achieve 12 hooks in every game, killers who play for kills and 4 hooking can get esiar games and on the survivor-side it would be fustrating to deal with these players.

[@bucket77]

The killers are there to kill the survivors and the survivors are supposed to try and escape. Killers are supposed to try and chase survivors to get more points so they can rank up and obviously getting a few hooks a game is good. But saying prioritizing hooks over kills is just plain stupid. Getting 8 hooks but all survivors escape is just a loss like they failed the objective to kill survivors.

[@bucket77]

Also the killers who camp and slug are already penalised cause they dont earn as many points and killers who consistently do that dont make it to red ranks lol

[@zombieepx1933]

@@bucket77 I’ve seen plenty of red rank killers that face camp, proxy camp ppl on hook. It works well against ppl not on comms because they can’t just go “I’m going for the trade” while 2 ppl keep working on gens. You’re lucky to have one survivor that stays on gens when a killer face camps a non swf.

[@adamdudley2132]

So, what do you do for the "camping" killer designs like Hag and Trapper? Are they just screwed over or is there an incentive for them to not set up traps all over an area to get hooks/kills. You two were talking about advantage vs. skill. Trapper and Hag are based around advantages which is based on skill (maybe some luck). How can they change the killers or the game to decrease the feeling of advantage against these killers?

OTZ: "no survivor team is that powerful" Also OTZ: "if survivors are playing well, there isn't much the killer can do".

[@Predated2]

One is a general statement towards survivors you face in the game considering the fact that True said that killers could do nothing at all. The second one is specific about the cases where survivors have a ton of synergy where the average killer didnt prepare for it. 2 different statements in 2 different contexts. Context matters.

[@reapingdragon5541]

What if they would make a perk that would regress generators within a certain radius wherever a survivor is hooked? You know similar to other perks that have radius like the Demi’s perk that regresses when they get a down, either that or if a hook is broken it would regress gens. I don’t know just throwing ideas out there because it seems that gens get done so very quickly. I mean the incentive that True spoke of is in the game but it’s a perk called make your choice where the killer has an incentive to leave the area where they have hooked someone, but unless you have a killer with a way to get out of the area of effect nullification like Freddy that can teleport to another gen or Demo that can transport to a portal it gets more difficult for killers like huntress or Deathslinger that can only walk by then another survivor takes them off the hook and you get no benefit as a killer. Most of the things they want have already been implemented but they are added as perks and a killer or survivor can only put on so many perks, can’t get all those benefits. Hope they at least agree that trapper needs to be able to have there traps already being held and not as offerings to hold more in a bag, this is the trapper and he has 1 trap 😂.

Amazing discussion, why are these 2 not hired by BHVR

[@mrr2496]

How about this, killer hooks someone, their progression speed is relevant to the proximity of the killer....if they hang around, it's slower. On the flip side, the further the killer is away from the hook, the better regression they can get to kick gens. This makes the killers want to head away, allows survivors in to save, and hopefully frees up gens being done so that killer can create greater regression. And, it hopefully slows the idea of camping for the killer.

[@Mr.Soberish]

dear lord. i thought otz was gonna be so good at debating but dear lord did true kill this. love them both and was a fun talking match. nice on the both of you for this.

[@reeepingk]

The argument is this: Tru is arguing that camping and tunnelling is unfun and unhealthy for the game. Otz is arguing that they are legitimate strategies and that a killer shouldn't have to go out of their way to go for "hooks" instead of kills. Tru is also arguing that if the game/MMR was based on HOOKS and not kills it would result in more fun gameplay. Both are correct. Otz is correct, those strategies DO work really well for getting kills, but that's also part of the problem. After all, this game is based on community, and DBD has an extremely toxic community, honestly so much so that it has pushed MANY people away from the game. If the community leaves, the game dies. If the community doesn't want to play anymore because every game is a campfest/slugfest/tunnelfest, the game dies. Tru seems to be arguing for fun, while otz seems to be arguing for killer efficiency/choice. These are the points. (IMO) The main flaw in otz's argument, mainly when he says "Survivors can protect other survivors from being tunneled" is that that exact statement is false. If a killer wants to tunnel 1 survivor, they can literally ignore other survivors running in front of them and go after the one. If the killer wants to tunnel, there is NOTHING the other survivors can do about it.

[@Takkunda]

technically you can body block the killer and flash light spam with a coordinated chain. I think true is focusing too hard on the chase. Not every survivor / killer plays for the chase. There are literally survivors that do full hide builds to avoid being chase and just m1 spam. Similar, there are people who would care more about the macro aspects of the game vses the micro aspect of the game. IE: Giving up time to cleanse a totem vs m1 a gen as opposed to "I need to do this thing in this moment." which is also a legitimate play style. Also someone said something about chess, chess is not balance. it's favored for white because they go first.

[@unoPlox]

Otz's point is NOT that killers should go for kills or endorsing tunneling/camping. Otz point is that, at the current state of the game, if you play killer not camping nor tunneling, the hooks and kills are pretty much tied together as they should (3 to 1, 12 hooks to 4 kills). The situation where you get 1 hook = 1 kill is a rare occasion for killers that play in good sports (like a Trapper snowball after good prep, which should not be considered toxic). This happens more often when they play really toxic as in camping/slugging or if the survivor dc or give up on hook. So in the end they both are going for the "have fun and don't be an d*ck" approach, but with different takes. And the point that you said its flawed about survivors protecting each other only applies if you're talking about the average survivors going solo q. True even recognizes that a high level survivor teamplay is undefeatable by any killer (and as you can see in tournaments). If you tunnel or camp a good team, you may get 1 kill and lose the game. To me, the breaking point of the "player behaviour balance" is the survs teamplay. I'm with True as a "kindred" kind of guy because this helps you decide how the team should take action together in basically one of the most crucial moments, the (un)hooking. And I agree that hooks should be more the focus of gameplay, but then the buffs/nerfs should be applied in game, not outside in the pip/rank/mmr system. Some people would just play toxic and dont care if they lose a rank or two. Things like: - Killer camping? the hook stage timer slows/stops based on distance. - Got 1 hook for each survivor? get info on survivors or the get a debuff on next gens/totems/healing they do. - Survivor doing no objectives hidding? reveal temporarily (but not the crows thing that only works in afk). - Got a protection hit? get a buff in healing or next unhook. and so on, just some rough ideas... many of this things are implemented as perks (and sometimes really poorly) but they could be in base game to keep it moving. As both came to a conclusion, this small tests in PTBs would be really nice for the game and players.

[@reeepingk]

@@Takkunda The chess analogy is bad. The advantage to white is very small from starting first. If the advantage were large then top players would never lose when playing white. But the game IS about the chase. If a survivor has a "stealth" build then all they are doing is putting more burden on their teammates. All 4 survivors need to take time being chased if they want to win against a good killer. If 1 survivor hides, the team WILL lose. I mean, if the game isn't about the chase, then what is it? Holding M1 on a gen? That's a pretty boring game. If a good survivor team wants to win, all 4 survivors need to be decent in a chase, and by decent I mean "not going down in 4 seconds." My analogy is checkers or tick tack toe. These games are "solved" meaning that the person going first can win EVERY TIME if they follow a particular strategy. I equate this with camping and tunneling. Will they win or draw? Yes. Is it fun? No. Does it make for a fun game? No.

[@reeepingk]

@@unoPlox Yes, I agree, otz is not directly endorsing camping/tunneling, and I never said as such. He is, however, saying that those strategies work. There are multiple comments from him saying "Getting one person out of the game early is a very good strategy." And yes, I agree, that for killers who play decent, hooks should be proportional with kills. But the problem is toxic killers. Toxic killers throw the balance of this off. Otz is ignoring the contribution of toxic killers, while tru is focusing mainly on them. (EDIT: It's not JUST toxic killers, it's also killers who just want to "win at all costs, even at the cost of having fun.") Tru is saying "These strategies are SO effective that they need to be removed or else the game will become a campfest/slugfest/tunnelfest." If someone WANTS to win, be honest, all they have to do is tunnel one person out of the game before anyone else. They don't have to camp. The best strategy to win is to hook someone, wait for them to be unhooked (maybe look for another survivor nearby), then tunnel them before they're healed, and hook them again, then do that one more time and suddenly you're at 3 survivors with maybe 1 gen done. There's no way the survivors will win at that point. (EDIT: And the survivors can do NOTHING to prevent this. The killer can literally run past other survivors to tunnel this one survivor. Even if another survivor takes a hit, that does nothing but give the killer game momentum. Gens aren't being done, survivors are losing health states. All to prevent the killer from playing like an ass.) THAT is currently the best strategy of the game. And tru is saying that THAT is a problem. THAT is tru's argument. Otz seems (IMO) to be ignoring that and focusing on decent killers who aren't toxic. You are right, OTZ is correct that if a killer plays decently the number of kills will be proportional to the number of hooks, but not everybody plays decently. Tru is arguing against toxicity, otz is arguing that hooks is proportional to kills for decent killers. They're not even on the same wavelength. Otz thinks tru is saying "every killer must get 12 hooks to win" when in reality tru is saying "We should incentivize killers to go for more hooks so the game is fun and not boring. We don't REQUIRE them to get more hooks, we just heavily incentivize them to do so, and punish them if they go for unfun game strategies like tunneling/camping." If it's done right, we won't even have to punish them for doing those strategies because they'll lose if they try. EDIT: Yes, basically all the suggestions you said are ideas I've had as well. For the record, I was really confused by this entire argument as I never saw them arguing about the same thing. They weren't IN the same argument. As pointed out in the last paragraph above.
