The reason there is no pro DBD league

no one wants to watch a 3 minute game of hold m1 to win.

This game requires little mechanical skill. None for survivor, and only a little for killers like Huntress and Nurse.

It's all about game knowledge and experience. That wouldn't disqualify it from professional play alone, but this game is way too RNG dependent. The majority of spawns are way too unbalanced for professional play.

Games with pro play often balance the game around those players, and that can create it's own problems, but BHVR balances for newbies, so that kind of cuts off any professional future for the game as well.

This game is far from "pro league" material. It has never been properly balanced and doesn't even come close. They would much rather keep adding new content (further throwing off the balance) than even consider making this game competitive at a professional level.

Imbalanced mess + peer to peer = No.

You mean just like ubisoft and siege? There's a reason we've been calling the latest season Broken Sight.

Exactly. The meta is more defined now than it has ever been and it just gets stronger and stronger, closer to 1v1ing killers. So stupid and yet we get closer with every patch.

One month seasons are crap too. It dose not provide a great foundation for Pro Leagues. You can't keep people interested in a season of such a short frame unless they are actively participating and then it is tough. Something between a year and a month needs to be made one is way too long and the other is way too short. I'd like a preseason, season, break, playoffs and off season. I think a format like that would lead to more investment in a league.

While those are good points, I was kinda hinting more at the balance aspect being... well not being there.

Completely agree. I've been saying this for so long. The devs are happy that the player base numbers have been consistent but also happy that new players keep coming into the game.... but ignore the fact that if new players keep coming into the game but the player base stays the same, it MUST mean that either the new players quit or the veterans quit.

I have always said that trying to use novelty over game balance is a bad strategy.

Lol people acting like DBD is not twitch material. It is entertaining to watch but its nowhere near professional competitive material and it will never have a pro league.

The joke is how unbalanced and uninspiring the game is. Gens are a dead concept that have been broken and pushed to their limits. We need something new otherwise games are gonna be over before they even begin.

A pro league DBD game sounds like the lamest damn concept I ever heard of

Like having a horror movie marathon with your friends only if your the “least startled” everyone has to clap and cheer for you like it’s an accomplishment

Is there an Olympic hide and seek-Freeze tag next?

People go to such lengths for validation over simple enjoyment it’s insane
