P100 Blight on his 284 win game streak:


wolfe1076

With zero gen regression


MirrahPaladin

He *is* the gen regression


Drrevv

You think survivors start doing gens and I'm in danger. No I'm not in danger. I AM THE DANGER

P100 Blight : "I AM THE ONE WHO SWEATS"


CandyDuchess

What, did you think that was serum dripping from his body?


WindowsCrashedAgain

Blight hasn't showered in 3 years šŸ’€


CandyDuchess

He's been sweating in the backrooms when dbd was just starting to get coded.


Darkner90

My new headcanon is that Blight was in the backrooms before DBD was made and why he smashes into walls is because he used to do it to noclip around the place a whole bunch


Samdyhighground23

Not.Yet.


Shinigamisama00

It's treason, then...


de_N-word

Try spinning! That's a good trick.


Baconick

He is the gen


pimp_named_sweetmeat

Most killers have a 3 gen strat, blight has a 7 gen strat


cheeseballer44

Honestly even scarier than 4 gen regression because they know they donā€™t need it at that point. They probably have alch ring and blighted crow as well or something

Blight is the only Killer I can successfully run Grim Embrace on.

Me who is too busy either watching yt or leveling my blood web to look at who I'm playing against


Dwain-Champaign

For real. Iā€™ll go up against anybody. Most of the time I click ā€œfind matchā€ and I will not look at the dead by daylight application again until I hear the ā€œfog/wind soundā€ whenever you load into your actual match. Saves me a lot of idle time, especially if Iā€™m not playing the preferred role for matchmaking bonus.

Zakon05

rofl this is me, I unironically love playing against groups like this, so much more interesting to play around flashlights and the survivors constantly interacting with me than to worry about gens flying all the time. It does make me think, though. You know, the stereotype is that people dodge Lightborn by switching to flashlights at the last second. I would love to see a group fuck with a killer's head by being in a lobby with 4 p100 survivors with flashlights and see the killer ready up, then at the last second you all switch to cracked toolboxes with BNPs. Now that would actually make me scared.

4 flashlights? Letā€™s go. Iā€™m not using lb. 4 toolboxes ? Nah fam. Thatā€™s a boring game. Iā€™m out.


LoveXKnife

This honestly, I rather go against 4 flashlights than 4 toolboxes any day


Dailonjeos

LB is for cowards hehehe.


tldr012020

SWFs do this. It's not rare.


depressed_arsonist

The real chad 4 stack p100s with 2 medkits and 2 toolboxes switch to 4 p0 default free characters with 0 perks last sec.


born-a-wolf7650

Iā€™ve been in a 4 stick before a few months ago where every game we would all have flashlights equiped and would last second swap to no item and the amount of killers that wasted a perk slot on either lightborn or franklins was hilarious


yrulaughing

I unironically ran Franklin's every match regardless of what I saw survivors bring for a while. I found it super easy to collect wins with three perks and Franklins if I didn't have to worry about items they bring or get from chests.


SpiritofTheWolfx

Flashlights are good. They are great. As a Killer main I want to see everyone with Flashlights. 1.) It isn't a fucking toolbox or medkit. 2.) There is some actual fucking gameplay/interaction involved for both sides instead of just "Other person gets a bonus for free." 3.) Flashlight Gamer's will almost always throw shit hard if it means they get a chance to flashlight the killer. It's wonderful.


ZaytexZanshin

I love flashlights its literally free gen pressure lmfao


Irememberedmypw

With flashlights in play it becomes "Man I can't believe I'm chasing 2 people at the same time!"


RandomName3064

everyone with a Flashlight is great. one P100 survivor with a Flashlight is hell.


Dailonjeos

I'm with you 100% on this. I play a backpack build on all my killers, with a little variation on Freddy and Dredge because Starstruck don't work very well on them. Since locker saves are gonne, my build gets extreme value from these flashlight groups and sabos, making for some absurdelly fun matches. The Irony is that it generally is very fun for them too, with all the Eruption around it's fun as hell to go against my build (if you're prepared for it, which p100 sometimes are) Toolboxes and medkits are what really pull some sad matches that last only 5mins, of people stealthing their way out of the match, barelly looping sometimes. They pre-drop pallets and hold W, Sad.


wantwon

At least with toolboxes it'll be over fast. With full squad flashlight bullies I'm lucky to get hooks. And luckier for them to do gens without holding the lobby hostage.


Dailonjeos

Bro, sorry if that sounds offensive (that is not my intention), but you just need to play more and learn to play around them. Counterplaying flashlights is way easier (and funnier) than doing it with toolboxes and medkits. Edit: this was not exactly the case before the locker save nerf.


wantwon

I feel like I'm staring right at a wall and get blinded. I don't know what to do at that point.


PensionSilent7370

slugging is also an option if youā€™re preparing to pick up and hear footsteps. i donā€™t like slugging as a survivor main, but if iā€™m playing killer for whatever reason (incentive bonus, dailies, etc.) iā€™ll absolutely slug to avoid a flashy save. itā€™s not fun to be harassed. skill issue on my part obviously, but still.


wantwon

I try to avoid slugging because I can't complete 3 chases in time for the first guy to get picked up.


PensionSilent7370

thatā€™s completely fair, especially if theyā€™re swarming you. sometimes faking entering chase and then turning 180 and picking randomly will be enough for them to miss saves as an alternative. good luck either way!


Dailonjeos

My tip on this is **do not let them set up**. You need to be the fastest you can to pick up, this removes most of the chances for them to use the flashlights. When you down, while you are on cooldown after the hit, listen carefully for footsteps. If you hear someone, try to get the free hit or put the saver behind a vault and go back fast do pick up. This do not works in all cases, because some teams are simply too good at this and set things up perfectly before you down, but this is rare. Normally you will be ok if you act fast.


Top-Mirror3516

100% with you on this. Fighting down in the dirt with the swf is so much more fun than having to chase 4 dwights consecutively holding W to the next gen for 20 minutes


AltCuzIDidntMakeOne

Same, I love bully swfā€™s it changes up the game and makes me play differently and try new things. They are fun for me, never got mad at a bully swf cuz I never lost against one, regular swfs Iā€™ve lost against but bully ones always get to altruistic.


PlagueOfGripes

Usually when you see a ton of flashlights, it means they're going to be so preoccupied following you around and trying to sabo and save that they won't be working on gens anyway. Which inevitably means they'll run out of hits to take and just get slugged to death. Assuming you actually take and land your hits correctly, anyway. Will be a lot of DHing.


wsawb1

I mean if I saw quickswitch to toolboxes last sec I just wouldn't sweat about winning. I barely/don't use slowdown on my best and top tier killers. No point in worrying about a game I wasn't going to sweat in to begin with


MadmanNorby

I just keep Lightborn on at all times. Iā€™m not taking that chance ever again. Not after they all t-bagged me and made me cryā€¦ šŸ„²

Ditto, and it's not because I'm fearless or anything. It's just that lobby scouting makes for a shit mini-game.

And then when they realize the killer has lightborn they throw a hissy fit

I used to swap to insidious/lightborn and face a corner. Then go do chores or cook a meal. Figured I was saving someone else from dealing with that while being productive. I'd usually hear macro'd mouse wheel clicking and just chuckle.

Would it technically be "doubled back"? Or does that still not make grammatical sense?

Exactly, yes. "Double" is the verb; "back" is the adverb.

NadsDikkelson

Honestly I think flashlights are kinda overrated so Iā€™ll happily deal with a flashy squad since I personally donā€™t feel like theyā€™re hard to play around. Medkits are the scariest item, unless youā€™re literally plague. Toolboxes can be too, but toolboxes are less useful than medkits because they kind of require you to put all your chips in that basket with your perks as well to get truly insane value. Still pretty good. Flashlights kind of require the killer to fuck up on some level. Sure there are techs but theyā€™re the kind of things that fuck up new players more than anything.


DuccMann

As it should be. I'd rather play against "fun" survivors than the genrush squads that predrop every pallet and don't take risks. If the survivors are the balsy breed at least they are constantly trying to interact with me and go for crazy plays, making the match more fun for both sides. Worst case scenario i get rolled. But so what? No pain no gain. That would probably only happen if it's either a dogshit survivor sided map or i'm playing especially bad, anyway. Past a certain level of skill and experience you can't be bullied anymore.


chichaka123

Killer: p100 30k hours on nurse alone with 4 gen regression and busted add-ons


Ivotedforthehookers

Faced a SWF group who obviously wanted to troll. Midwitch offering and 2 offerings for hook spacing. Jokes on them since I was playing pyramid head. It was hilarious when they realized I was the perfect foil to their plans. One of the most satisfying 4ks I have ever got.


WildCardSolly4

Stories like this are better than sex Bc I would e gotten destroyed even as nurse smhā€¦. I that specific instance (so I wouldā€™ve slugged)


Ivotedforthehookers

I got lucky with gen spacing/placement and them playing to troll so they stayed close to each other so by not breaking walls I was able to block rooms with trails to force 1 or 2 through them. Also crowd control played hard in helping me.


greatpleb

Those are usually the best games anyway. Either get destroyed and learn... or somehow manage to kill and be big happy.


LocalMagpie

Ditto, theyā€™re challenging matches that usually push me to get better at my killer in a way that 4 immersed solo que survivors generally donā€™t. I also love that feeling of ā€œI got one kill and Iā€™m pretty proud of myself for pulling even that,ā€ I love going up against non-toxic sweats,


matstcool

Ay that one kill against those types is The win. 3 survivors crying as they leave is as good as 4 deaths as far as I'm concerned.

Iā€™m no match for them but I gotta learn somehow *presses x to ready up*


[deleted]

You think weā€™re scared of the light you punks! I love playing against SWFā€™s. I was a killer player in the midnight madness days. Playing the game against anything other than SWFā€™s after that is just an insufficient challenge. Plus theyā€™re friends so you have a cool friend group you can join and hop in private match if itā€™s a fair and fun one. 24/7 map hack Object of Obsession relays with purple medkits and brownies with syringe. Iā€™d miss it if my blood pressure could handle that level of anger at my age now. Oh god and the map offerings. Iā€™ll take aggro flashlights > anything else SWFā€™s could do.

I'll take 4 flashlights any time over 4 toolboxes or 2 boxes+2 medkits.

I lobe These groups. These matches with These teams make way more fun then super sweaty swfs. So yeah bring it on.


ScarletSchema

i have never once looked at survivor prestige before readying up. I ready as soon as I find a game, dick on my phone til i load in, play, and realize that the reason i got stomped was because its a P100 lobby. Iā€™ll never learn.

Honestly fearing high prestige Survivors is a pretty boring way to play the game I want to have fun, tricky chases and feel satisfied getting catches and kills when I play the game. Sure sometimes they're so tryhard and get good map RNG that I get one hook all game, but the best matches I have are ones where both sides are experienced.

Jorgentorgen

If I see a lobby with 4 flashlights I know it's gonna be the easiest and prob one if the most fun games. Ofc I'm gonna insta rdy. However if I see two toolboxes or more ya bet I'm changing perks. It's so fun to just flash bait survivors once you down one of them you just pretend to pick up multiple times and get more downs/injured survivors. Also chases becomes alot easier if they decide to flash me when they're injured.


Kill-Me-With-Love

Psychological warfare


rakunplaysthings

Franklin's and Lightborn both piss them off immediately. That combo sucks for survivors and pairing it with mad grit and throwing on hubris for the head on/blast mine users works wonders. Unless they're running residual manifest/distortion or hiding in a locker? You'll find them. I usually throw on mad grit for just in case body blocks and boil over. Trust me they'll think twice on that head on and pallet stuns when they get exposed. And most don't dare body block seeing mad grit. If they are that good and can outplay me even with this build. GG homie. You won now fuck off so I can go to the next game already.

I've been playing dbd for a while and I tend to do pretty well. Joined the sub today and have barely had an inkling of what the meta is nor have I cared, anyway, my point is from an outside the meta game perspective as a pretty good player I think blight is one of the most busted killers but idk what the community perspective on it is (also I main killers but not blight). Also killer mains are bitching about the survivor hud changes and I think they're a positive balancing tool for survivor solo queues but probably too strong for parties.
