I’ve made art that represent show I feel playig dbd and idv as a hunter/killee
CW: possible eye strain under the cut 🙏
I will say dbd is WAYYY MORE BALANCED HOLLYYYYY HELLLL yeah im playing killer way more hello!!!!
Like I see a lot of people say it’s survivor sided, it may be, but compared to idv it’s like an angel sent from above like woah guyse… I can actually make mistakes and not get fucked in the ass ❤️ 😭 🥹 (admittedly the current event could use some work but I’ll take it)
Honestly my reviews about both lowkey
Dbd: casual, semi relaxed player base, constantly changing maps(me like), majority adult fanbase, can use other survivors w different builds, longer matches
Idv: competitive, diverse abilities, survivor sided definitely, lots of game modes, evil playerbase, majority teen/tween fanbase, shorter matches
Just kinda what I noticed, of course these r all generalizations and obviously some outliers encountered but yk, I will say not to dunk on dbd players at all but I do see why some dbd players struggle with the switch to idv and not vice versa
It’s likely because in dbd the killers/survivors capabilities are all actually pretty limited compared to idv,
Idv takes a LOTTTT of memorization when it comes to the abilities of characters and how to combat them+ it’s quicker paced, honestly if ur tryna go from dbd to idv, PLAY CUSTOM MATCHES TO SEE WHAT THE CHARACTERS DO 🙏 trust me that helps u SO MUCH
I mean I definitely also struggled getting into dbd as a idv player but that’s mostly because I kinda expected all the killers to have such glaring differences before realized I could kite them kinda the same….
Although it could probably be a bit difficult for idv players when it comes to abilities because oooo dude u rely so much on ur characters abilities to get a win so that could also effect gameplay (im just guessing here tho cuz I didn’t struggle w that aspect)
But that’s my thoughts on both, equally fun but I won’t lie, idv has had an evil effect on my mind
