My Unpopular DbD Opinions

Here's some of my opinions that seem to get a strong reaction.
1. I like vsing Bubba and Myers (when Mikey brings the good stuff). They scare me which reminds me of how much fun beginning DbD was.
2. NOED hurts both survivors in the short term and killers in the long term.
3. NOED and DH are both used for the exact same reason; overpowered compared to other perks, low risk high reward, and have a low skill ceiling to get maximum effect.
4. The game should be rebalanced to make camping, tunneling and gen rushing all less effective. DbD is the most fun for the most people when there are multiple hooks and chases.
5. Nurse and Blight represent standards of effectiveness to which weaker killers should be buffed. At the very least, weaker killers should be buffed to be closer to Artist's and Spirit's level.
6. Solo survivors need information buffs to bring them closer to SWF level. Then killers can be buffed to SWF levels. I don't know if this qualifies as unpopular since the devs are planning this one but I put it in anyway.
7. It's okay to lose a game. It's not a big deal.
8. Most players will never be as good as someone like Otz who is naturally gifted and does this as their job. That's perfectly fine; people don't need to overly take pride or worry so much about their skill level in a video game. It's just a video game.
9. 50% of the frustration and complaints with Dbd would disappear if the developers would do things such as put a one second delay on the second crouch animation and remove flashlight macros.
10. There are legitimate complaints about gameplay for both the killer side and the survivor side.
How about yours?

Here are some of mine:
Hmm. Let's take a look.
Now, for some actually unpopular opinions :)
Btw I don't think finding Mikey fun to verse is unpopular. Quite the opposite I'd say.
Mine is that hatch should be replaced with a better endgame mechanic.
Unpopular opinion
huntress is boring
pinhead is fun
Sadoku is boring
boon totems are fine just need a cool down
pyramid heads got the best chase music
Claire Redfield is the best legendary skin
jill Valentine is the best survivor in the game
feng nea and Claud are overrated
Blight is fine and doesn’t need a nerf
100% this, yes
Hmm
1) STBFL may be one of my fav perks but I don't like how trivial it makes camping, many killers who I see using it will secure stacks early on then use it to make hook trading for someone being camped impossible
2) I don't think basekit BT is as completely necessary as some people make it out to be, although I can def see why some people want it.
3) Map RNG is probably one of the biggest factors in deciding which side wins a match. Certain realms are more guilty of this problem than others
4) DBD content on YT/Twitch has gotten incredibly stale even though I still enjoy playing the game myself. I feel like there's too much whinging going on to simply enjoy watching.
Definitely a good point there dbd has been boring to watch since the silent hill chapter tbh
One of the big things that puts me off is the attitude of the streamers/their chats
Be it they can't take criticism, their chats encourage a very hostile environment (Insulting the streamers opponents, encouraging them to BM and so on) and generally the arrogance of many of the DBD content creators. For some it's no longer just playing a video game to entertain, it's about proving they are better than everyone else or something like that
The only DBD content I watch these days is stuff like Benjo, dumb clips that showcase the funny moments of the game instead of the frustrating.
Maybe it's just me though, I'm sure not everybody sees it that way.
Hmm, I agree with most of those. As for mine, I'd say the real only unpopular opinions I have is that I think Legion is one the best designed killers from a power, aesthetic, and lore standpoint, and that Nemesis was one of the worst picks for an RE killer.
Agree
I agree with deathslinger he's still fine to play in my opinion it's just that monitor and abuse feels mandatory now
Yeah, I usually run it on him now.
Honestly you hit most of my opinions. You just made me smile.
Don’t diss Claud.
She sucks im sorry bro
Have you ever had a game where it was just Jills and/or Claires? Would be a good strategy against you because you wouldn't want to kill anyone.
Nea I will agree with.
They are my kryptonite😅. I had one match against a full resident evil team and for some reason Chris dced. Maybe because I was playing pinhead but I just memed with the Jill and the Claire.
Just a few highlights. I remember once I was playing killer and I was like, “I’m about to go full tryhard and kill these gu..” then someone switched to Claire and I was like “oh maybe we can chill in this one”. A full team means I’m letting them pallet stun me all game
Don’t worry she’s down there too she’s awful
Yes. Claud though, she’s a queen.
no Claire is a queen, Claud is lame
The real queen is obviously though. Her name is Rin Yamaoka.
YOU TAKE THAT BACK! SHE IS A QUEEN! SHES THE BEST! YOURE JUST JEALOUS!
MEANIE!!!!!!!!
I’ll give you that one but she is a killer😭
Actually pretty reasonable opinions that I think are probably more popular than not
The entity twisted her. I will go to the realm and save her if it kills me.
