    As a Freddy FAzbear main i feel genuinly insulted for putting him in c- tier. Expect to hear from my lawyers. (Freddy Fazbear is in the thumbnail btw)

  • DBD Community: "No killer can be worse than Trapper, he requires too much set up in the current meta. You'd have to be dreaming to think otherwise." Freddy: "Dreaming you say."
  • @FreddyGerardino
    its crazy that otz has been doing what hes been doing for so long and has only gotten better over time.
  • @matthewhwang7496
    I think part of what makes Billy better now too is his smaller collision. A lot of maps with clutter are noticeably better to work around with him
  • Oh there’s 34 killers in the game now? Strange, whenever I play survivor there only appears to be 3 of them

    I feel like the Legion plays a similar role like a Chapter 1 boss in a game; they're a skill check to see if you've mastered the game at the most basic level. Legion's power takes away some of the comforts that many new survivors intuitively gravitate towards: - You cannot hide from the Legion, their killer instinct during Feral Frenzy will reveal you even when inside a locker. Trying to hide is just a waste of your time, even when that terror radius starts to gets bigger or louder (which can be intimidating), you need to be brave. - You cannot stick together with your teammates against the Legion, you will give them a lot of free slowdown and even downs through their Feral Frenzy. You must stay on your own. - You cannot run from the Legion, they are just too fast during Feral Frenzy and will catch up to you (well, on paper at least ;w;). You need to understand and be able to tell the difference between strong parts of the maps and deadzones to ensure you have enough resources to keep yourself alive. - You cannot heal against the Legion, they will injure you again very quickly wasting all of that precious time. You need to be confident in yourself and your capabilities in chase and stay injured. This also has the effect of leaving little room for error, making your execution of all the above points that much more vital. As many better players will notice, most of these things that the Legion denies you from doing and the way they encourage you to play to counter them are actually very strong principles and lessons for playing survivor in general. This is why I think of them as a skill check; they're a test to see if you understand the game at a basic level. If you don't, you'll struggle against them and they'll force you to become a better player. If you do, it becomes obvious how they actually aren't all that strong or scary. I think that's a really cool dynamic for a killer to have with the survivors (not even touching on the actual experience of playing Legion, which is also very fun if a bit weak), and I kinda wish we thought about the game in this way more often. Could be fun to think about at least. Thanks for the great content btw, and for reading this all the way through lmao- <3

    Old freddy was really strong, but he was honestly one of the most fun killers to verse, just for his uniqueness and the fact that you couldn't see him outside of his dream world. Now he's literally just a m1 killer with one of the most useless powers and the pace of his power is determined by the survivors
  • @peenling3901
    This man had to be the most dedicated dead by daylight content creator to giving players information. We appreciate all you do Otz
  • @elijahwoodnt4498
    I don’t normally watch videos that are 3 hours long, but Otz tier lists hit different
  • @zmpixie
    its disappointing that Knight has received no love and attention, but cheers and hopes that once he is no longer killswitched he is in a better spot!
  • @emi87711
    It's weird how Sadako actually feels stronger to me now considering I actually liked to hook survivors instead of condemn spam, which usually didn't go too well before the ptb
  • @Bovix_
    Super informative as always, thank you for spending so much time on these, Otz, everyone appreciates you!
  • @yapy326
    I ran into OnePumpWillie while he was doing an endgame singularity streak. I underestimated him in the early game too much, and he locked down the gates quite handily. Truly high tier singularity gameplay.
  • @novacoocey3975
    Billy redemption arch is actually my favourite thing ever.
  • @ianrhodes2263
    Otz, thank you for continuing to make this type of content despite your frustrations with the development team. I love hearing your thoughts in so much detail
  • @DBZHGWgamer
    Singularity is definitely one of those killers that expects you to physically be the killer to play him. You gotta keep track of so much stuff you almost need to be a hyper advanced AI to do it, but once you get that good it feels amazing. Personally I also find that even in a really one sided loss he's still pretty fun to play.
  • @fel524
    Im glad its the sadako i remember and used to main, but its genuinely sad to see her fall so hard once again as if nothing else could be done to remedy her weaknesses
  • @Shawn-Xander
    I have watched the entire video and disagree with every take. Disliked. Unsubbed. Queued for Swamp as Blight. Good Day Sir
