This game is the worse balanced game

[Truth Bringer]

I have never seen a more poorly balanced game ever. The only reason this game is praised is because it was the first of its kind and they had nothing else to compare it to. Now people just play it because its popular and to farm. Why farm a game you will never play seriously i have no idea.

You obviously have never played League of Legends 🤣

I would say they are comparable honestly lmao. If the dev team was creative enough or could pay enough for different horror characters theyd have that many and it would be worse balance wise than LoL

It's an asymmetrical game. You will never be able to balance it. Keep in mind there is currently an event in play so you will see a lot of farming matches. Plenty of other games have come out that had the potential to kill dbd, but unfortunately they become abandoned, TCM, Propnite to name a couple. While it can be frustrating at times and I do feel your pain, it is a good game, no game is without its flaws and it continues to go as strong as long as it has because they actively add new content to it constantly, for better or worse. If you're not enjoying the game, maybe it isn't for you

There's some retro fighting games that make DbD look like comp dota, ngl.

That is a poor excuse to claim the game can't be balanced honestly imo. I don't accept that as an answer. They could have testers over 2 months play with every possible combination and write it down and report it to be tweek. Lets assume that it is true. Then they should have tweek it to be balanced from the start or changed how the game functions so that it could be balanced. If we are going to start accepting unbalanced games without pointing out the massive flaws in it in order to be corrected then we are just speeding up the train to make games be in worse conditions than they already are.

There is a difference between not enjoying a game and expecting a game to be balanced. lol

I don't think I expect DbD to ever be a shining star of balance, it basically invented its own genre and that's a pretty tough act. That said? People thinking it can't be better than it is now is deeply, deeply confusing to me.

I don't think it can't be better i think it won't because why would devs waste time and money fixing problems if people are going to continue to play the game? They wouldn't it isn't logical from a company . Because these devs are running a business. They don't really care about the game. As long as it makes money. Id rather change that however i release i cant because people will continue to spend money on games that are going to perpetuate poor designs in games to let it snowball into ever game being fallout 76 at launch or worse CODMW3

What unbalance are you referring to?

I'm not saying the game's balanced, it's just that there's a lot of moving parts, and you could be talking about any number of things

The only reason this game is praised is because it was the first of its kind and they had nothing else to compare it to.

DBD release: June 2016.
Evolve release: February 2015.

No, it wasnt "the first of its kind". Not in terms of "4v1 multiplayer", and definitely not in terms of "asymmetrical multiplayer". The only "advantage" / "original part" was the straight up horror design and the licensing of known horror icons further down the line.

Now people just play it because its popular and to farm. Why farm a game you will never play seriously i have no idea.

Or maybe people actually like it and play it for fun because they dont have the same complains you do? I mean, according to your review, you barely have played 300 hours, and only 100 of those since 2018. Maybe things have changed since then?

That is a poor excuse to claim the game can't be balanced honestly imo. I don't accept that as an answer.

Well, you are free to not accept it, but that doesnt change that its the simple truth. It is simply impossible to really balance things if the teams are that different, and that doesnt even factor in stuff like "difference in player skill".

They could have testers over 2 months play with every possible combination and write it down and report it to be tweek

Sorry, but thats unrealistic. Lets just take a look at the default Killers:
3 Killers (1, 2 and 3) with 4 Perks each (a - l).
- 1 + a b c d.
- 1 + a b c e.
- 1 + a b c f.
- 1 + a b c g.
- 1 + a b c h.
And so on, and so on, until you have done every combination up to 1 + i j k l.
But thats just one Killer, so you have to do that 3 times. And then the same for every possible Perk combination. Oh, and then you have to pit all of those combinations against eachother until you have done every single of those combinations.
Thats several hundreds of thousands (maybe even millions) combinations to test. "Just set up some testers over 2 months" doesnt even remotely cut it. Not to mention how this still wouldnt factor in things like "difference in player skill".

Then they should have tweek it to be balanced from the start or changed how the game functions so that it could be balanced.

Thats literally what they did and still continue to do. The problem is that "what the devs see as balance" doesnt necessarily coincide with what the players see as balance.

I don't think it can't be better i think it won't because why would devs waste time and money fixing problems if people are going to continue to play the game? They wouldn't it isn't logical from a company .

But they do it. But as pointed out above: Just because you personally dont see it as balanced doesnt translate to the game being as unbalanced as you make it out to be. And people will actually stop playing - aka devs will make less money - if actual gamebreaking bugs / unbalanced mechanics remain to long. There are plenty of examples of drops in playernumbers in such cases.

Oh sweet, well since you're an expert on balance, I'll gladly wait for you to find me an asymmetrical game that's perfectly balanced.

The only purpose or this post is to bait people into arguments. OP isn't interested in opinions, just looking for people to share their belief.

I'm quite sure the devs never play solo q. To be fair, though, sometimes it's not the game that is unbalanced it is your teammates that can't find a gem...
