How Dead Hard Became The MOST HATED Perk In DBD

Reuploaded as YouTube randomly age restricted the original upload.

With Decisive Strike, Borrowed Time and Mettle of Man eventually getting balanced, people's attention was turned towards Dead Hard, being the centre of heated discussion.

Imagine playing Call of Duty and you have to wait a bit before shooting your opponent. Unreal.

I sure loved when survivors used to say it's dead Harding time and ran into a wall, that truly was moments in time, so sad it's gone

"We have heard the community feedback and we are now adding special property to Nurse's attack to completely bypass dead hard, we also feel Nurse kill ratio is too low so more buffs will come in the next patch"

Having my hair sniffed for a minute when I'm not even using DH feels really dumb and winning a chase because I nuzzled the killer's chest for 10 seconds, spun a couple times, and pressed E feels even dumber.

I'd LOVE to see you do a video on map offerings, and why they're often hated and why

A moment of silence for my fellow Trapper mains who had to deal with survivors DHing over your traps. 😔✊

Personally it was the dash that made me hate the perk. It felt awful knowing you closed the distance but they get that extra feet for that pallet or vault even if you swing or not. But most infuriating of all was when you would win the mind game and cut the loop, bait the vault, ect despite you playing well they can just dead hard out. They could still do that but that distance they created while your on miss swing cooldown just because they messed up and it didn't matter felt awful.

I still remember being called a loser for baiting out Dead Hard instead of just swinging right away.

I like the new dead hard more, even if its still powerful, it at least feels like it takes skill and can be interacted with.

Man, all my friends complained about this, and I genuinely had no idea dead hard existed for a while.

I was a bad killer at the time, and swung early way too often. So I decided to just wait till I was super close to secure a hit.
They would dead hard, I wouldn't really notice, and then hit them once I was super close.

I was accidentally waiting out deadhard for about a month or so before someone told me why survivors sometimes zoomed forward for a second. Wack

I'm glad dead hard was reworked, now it's more of a "nice dead hard" instead of "and there you go they used dead hard for distance" followed by my keyboard getting thrown across the room

I was always a DH user before the rework so when it was changed, I decided to just not bother with exhaustion perks anymore. Not only does it help counter exhaustion perks/addons, it frees up a perk slot and I’ve noticed that I’ve been looping more efficiently.

I guess relying on old DH made me not worry about looping because “press E to not die”.

i still cant imagine this is the same man that made 9 videos of him screaming into a distorted mic while playing bubba

[azap]

I love that I can use the new dh to take protection hits. I run it a tone with MoM and I’ve had some really great “get down mr president” moments.

[noveculent]

My biggest regret is that I didn’t abuse old dead hard earlier I only used it for 4 months

[KenoughsEnough]

And I'll recomment that I still hate this perk. There was one great week where people actually tried something new, now it's 3-4 DH in every lobby again. The "it takes skill" argument really doesn't work because all you have to do is stand next to a vault or pallet and hope the killer loses the mindgame.

These make such good background noise while I work! I like these a lot, as well as the calm gameplay commentary videos.

[beasthayabusa]

“Baiting deadhard is easy” except when the survivor was good enough to ensure you only got close enough when the survivor was close enough to a pallet or window to make it.

[themegaladon]

The one thing you forgot was when they added the god validation to it a little over a year ago, that's when I started hating it.
