Dead hard still does the same thing. Why is it so hated now all of a sudden?

Killer mains are just annoyed that their crutch perk (Eruption) got nerfed. So in return they want a "good" survivor perk nerfed.

[II Atroz II]

What do you mean "good"? It is a good perk unless you are ♥♥♥♥ at the game.

[Tragopan]

Since most Survivor perks suck Dead Hard sees a lot of use, despite not being as strong as it once was because it's one of the few perks that let Survivors feel like they have some degree of resilience in their chases as opposed to going down as soon as Bloodlust kicks in. This popularity means that Killers target it with whataboutisms when confronted with broken perks like Eruption or the old (not that old) Scourge Hook: Resonance and Dead Man's Switch combination.

Dead Hard is easily countered by a head juke or waiting a few seconds and has always been countered by such. If Dead Hard didn't exist and Slippery Meat was the most popular Survivor perk Killers would be crying about it instead when confronted with balance changes.

TL/DR: Humanity is, collectively, idiotic.

Dead Hard's never NOT been hated. It saw a slight dip in usage after last summer's meta shakeup but within a few months everyone just went back to using it again. People are annoyed by it because the perk still grants a free third health state (it's just slightly more difficult to pull off) with very little risk, and I think people are just sick of seeing so many people use it. The point of the summer meta shakeup was to...well, shake up the meta, but Dead Hard is still heavily relied on like the crutch that it is.

Proccing DH while dropping pallets/vaulting windows wants to have word with you.

All of a sudden?

It's always been hated, I think that's part of many peoples arguments. They "changed up the meta" And its still the same DH in almost every game, with DH dictating how killers have to play even if a survivor doesn't have it. Unless you've seen someone use a different Exhaustion, you have to assume they have it.

Playing around DH is so ingrained in my Playstyle at this point that I personally Don't mind it.

Getting ahead of the chase and zoning the Survivor away from strong loops/walking around the pallet drop to force a 50/50 vault (spoiler, you'll win) wants to have a word with you. If you follow Survivors like Pac Man and eat every pallet then it's no wonder why you think Dead Hard is so strong.

It doesn't matter if dead hard is GOOD or BAD perk it ABSOLUTELY SUCKS GAMEPLAYWISE just like eruption did for soloq players. As a KILLER you want to go and smack survivors with your big ass sword or whatever weapons you have not WAIT TILL THEY PRESS (OR NOT) THE BUTTON FOR 10+ SECONDS.

^this arg prolly never played a killer.

Just like NOED, Dead Hard is the crutch on which a lot of players rely on.
Once they have to play without those perks, most tend to fail spectacularly

[San Dark Sun]

DH gives you confidence when you're injured.

But if, theoretically, permanently remove DH
most players will have to re-learn how to play dbd without DH

When I played without DH, I realized that I was weak in chase and I lacked skill ''E''

I've won a lot with DH. And lost a lot against DH

You would be wrong. Very wrong... lol.

[Terrorize Exercise]

By its self its fine but if its used at a pallet there is 0 counterplay to the perk giving a free healthstate or stun. A proper fix is for the perk to be disabled when withen 4 meters of a pallet.

What? It was always hated, what you talking about Jimbo?
