@prion_dbd: Shoulder The Burden is still by far the biggest problem in DBD specifically at high mmr. I see this perk at least once every 4 or 5 games, and it is game warping every time even if it's not used perfectly. This perk is so stupid in the hands of coordinated, strong teams that old school Bubba facecamping is now an optimal strategy to win tough matches against good players. Total insanity. #deadbydaylight #dbdfyp #dbdmoments #dbd #fyp
It’s not a really big problem when only one bring it. It becomes a big problem when 2 or more people brings it.

Most people in this comment section have never truly played in the top band of MMR. When you play against a four stack of competitive or ex competitive survivors, who are in a voice call with three sprint burst, three decisive strikes, two shoulder of the burdens, and two brand new parts with two purple med kits, you will almost have to pick one survivor to take out of the game if you want a chance of winning. Notably I’m describing a survivor squad I played against who was on a 46 game win streak and I barely got a 1K against because I didn’t pick 1 person soon enough.

Just play however you want and Ignore the people who will never reach your level. You identified the most broken perk a coordinated swf can have and decided to make your life easier. You are not obligated to play nice or be friendly as a killer

People complaining about him tunneling like he wasn't on 4 hooks at 1 gen left with Artist, he needed someone out unless a miracle happened, tunneling is completely fair use and ppl need to stop complaining about it.

DBD needs like a fundamental rework that I don’t think the devs will ever be willing to give us

This is going to be a bit long, but I'd like your thoughts.
I agree. To me STB is the opposite of scourge hook: pain resonance. Pain resonance gets no value for a while if you tunnel, making tunneling (an unfun strategy) less enticing. STB does the opposite: face camping (an unfun strategy) is really the only solution (although two people with STB going for the unhook can completely bypass this).
About the league analogy: the reason that balancing strategy works is because the community accepts the game occassionally being balanced around the best players. This balancing is why Azir doesn't get buffed despite his relatively low win rate on the ranked ladder: only pro players really do well with him because he requires a high amount of teamwork with teammates as well as good micro and macro mechanics. DBD doesn't really have anything like this, there isn't a killer that only a pro could play well. Nurse is the closest thing we have, because new players pick her up and get stomped, lowering the win rate; however, nurse isn't particularly hard if you have any more than 10 hours on the nurse.
Shoulder the burden should be nerfed, but the issue is much deeper than just good/bad perks. League, for all its problems, is actually immaculately balanced considering there's over 200 items you can buy and 173 champions, but league's balance sort of fixes itself through the game's innate complexity and mechanical difficulty. Dbd isn't really that hard in the long run: I'm not struggling to input a PEWGF like I am in Tekken; I'm not trying to think 2 steps ahead like I am in chess; I'm not completely changing my game plan based on my lane opponent like I am in League. I know what I'm about to say might seem elitist, but, they should do something to make dbd more difficult on both sides so that there's more skill expression and less coalescence of strategies. But I also acknowledge that it't nearly impossible to do this without completely changing the game and possibly chasing players away from their game that hasn't changed in years. Another solution is to reduce the power on both sides: more interactions mean more chances to adapt and change.

I don't see the issue with shoulder the burden. If someone uses it you still have a hook on someone but it applies on someone else. But of course if you play a predictable hard tunneling bot who believes they are going against high mmr survivord when it really just you playing like a bot then sure shoulder the burden is crazy overpowered.

I couldnt crate any opression in this match. Even if i finish with 3 ppl on death Hook I wasnt just have enough time. If you Play killer like pig if survivor is pressing just W it takes 20 sec to get distance. Add loops, sprint burst etc. There is just not enough time to do anything.

The whole reason Shoulder was made was FOR survivors who got tunneled out of the game. It isn’t going to get removed or changed just because some minuscule percent of the player base in super high elo complains. Majority of people are in mid rank and my friends get tunneled so we run shoulder so they have an easier time staying in the game

why are people in the comments defending shoulder the burden? it’s one of the most broken perks dbd has ever seen that should be an anti tunnel but instead completely negates the killer’s pressure even if they’re not tunneling
