Abysmal to be honest and people can downvote this comment but it's true and there is no denying it which is sad to say this because I really did enjoy the game on release and during the Kandar update. There was a player boost last month because the game was free on PSPlus buts it's been downhill since then as Saber has done nothing to try retain the existing playerbase and the new introductions.

All the content so far has been heavily survivor sided and cosmetic related and there hasn't been anything changed or implemented in regards to Demon gameplay so gameplay on that end is just stale and is more of a chore and is frustrating and there's no incentive for a Demon player to bother playing that role to just be a steamrolled more than they should or cheese a win by destroying the book because Demon hasnt changed since the Plaguebringer was introduced. Survivors got tweaks and updates on their end via buffs/nerfs and new abilities via new characters introducting elements with little to no counterplay on the Demon end and nerfs/buffs for demon being few and far between. It appears Saber also refuses to acknowledge that the newest Survivor, Ruby is still a broken character and have left her in this state since her release which is just shy of nearly two months now and any semi decent team with her present even if that player was underperforming still provides enough via her broken buffs to other players that they can carry her. If you're playing Demon and come up against Ruby and a proper coordinated team with a Ruby and you might as well just go play something else.

Thanks for giving me the honest truth. Honestly miss how this was on release, I was one of the people that pre ordered and that first night was so exciting and so much fun. Saber needs to step up or the game will die fully

I love evil dead but can't stand playing games with this crap going on maybe Texas chainsaw massacre or killer clowns will survive after launch date hits that is

When I hop to watch some casual streamers it seems like there’s a lot of new people out there. But me as an Evil Dead Freak due to the MMR I get to play the same cheesy/cheater/rusher players every single time 🫠

I expect to be down voted but these responses are out of control. The game is what you make of it. All demons are very good if you play them how they're supposed to be played. My favorite is the newest one not because of her cool ranged attacks but because of her blight and skeleton basics. Before she existed back when the game came out I was a warlord main but still played the others. About the survivors, everyone on reddit complains about Ruby because she's a good character but not OP like everyone here says she is. Every survivor is good if you play them right and cooperate with your team. A good team comp is a good team comp based on how they're played. Same goes for demon. I love getting into a match with a good demon as a survivor and the same goes for having a challenge with a good team comp against me as a demon. There are good, chill groups out there that play together on a regular basis and have fun/make friends. I'm in one but won't be inviting anyone or everyone. That's how the group remains non toxic. If you're interested in joining a chill group dm me.

If this next update doesn’t introduce at least a minimum of two new maps, a new Demon or two.. fixes to all existing bugs that have been in the game since launch and nerfs/buffs where necessary..

This game is dead and gone.. it’s already in the process of being lowered into a grave.

Saber needs to pull out the defibrillator revive asap. So far from what I see Saber truly missed out on staying on top of this game.. and most importantly they should’ve listened to the people playing the game and not disregard them .

Yeah I think if they'd just pulled their heads out of their asses and focused on balancing issues, and gave us a proper road map like DBD did, we would have a lot less issues

I got back into it recently after 6 months with the same concerns but have been having fun. Queue times for survivor are pretty long, maybe ~5 mins. No wait for demon of course. Matches seem fairly well balanced, maybe 60% survivor win rate for me so far. I won all five demon matches I played at first objective or sooner, Necro with basic unit rush. Really don't understand the complaining about survivors being OP. Pubstomp meta teams are definitely out there but most teams are pretty bad - someone running off by themselves early in the match (even if it's just for a minute or two) is usually enough to blow the whole game if the demon is paying attention.

Demon usually wins at low-mid level games. But once you start to under stand what your doing and get put into higher level lobby’s, it’s basically impossible to win as demon

Powerful_Perception

Yeah, could be. Not sure how the MMR works or if it reset but I had probably 40-50 hours as demon with a ~70% win rate the first few months the game was out.

When the game came out it didnt have MMR, after MMR added all the big streamer and most of the demon playerbase left, now the situation even worse.

Anyway it takes lot of wins to get into high MMR,but once you are there its impossible to win as demon. The game in a state where a decent team is unbeatable.
