10 Incredibly Strange Buffs that happened in Dead by Daylight History! 

The Calm Spirit buff is certainly one of the buffs ever, truly.

That calm spirit change is SUCH nerf it doesnt even stop the damn noise at the end of the action…

To me the Judith's tombstone change was a buff like the video covered... But a bit of a nerf in terms of not allowing burger king Mikey

It’s always a good day when Azhymovs uploads a video

1. I think Off the Record's buff took away the spirit of the perk. The idea of it was to be discreet, but now it's used boldly. It would've been cooler if once you're unhooked, a fake aura would remain with a post-poned notification. It would have to be shorter though. 2. In relation to your last video, I really miss the old survivor movement! The survivor turning their head constantly in the beginning, cautious and alert, really gave that sense to prepare yourself, taking in your surroundings! When you run injured, obviously you are going to look clumsy and limpy because you're bolting for your damn life! Now it looks like you just have a cramp from exercise or something. I hate 2020, even now. 💔

The calm spirit “buff” was more like a nerf. I don’t know why they needed to add a 30% reduced speed for it.

The Blight model for the Killers POV was actually placed too low. There was a bug showing the wrong model in the opening camera spin and Blight legs were in the ground. So the had to raise him up and that through all his environmental animations off.

The clown rework to me seem like the most misunderstood rework. The speed boost can be immediately stopped when the survivor is in the purple bottle, and the survivors will be slown immediately to the purple bottle speed, while you're going faster. It works amazingly against holding W, as usually if you throw the yellow bottle in front of the survivor, or throw the bottle near the place you don't want them to go, you can take the speed boost, then slow them down in half a second before getting the boost. They almost get no where good, unless they're in a heavily survivor sided map.

As someone who has maimed clown, I'd say his yellow bottles are my favourite; combining them with the purple bottles in chase makes it surprisingly easy to get hits in chase. They're also useful to catch use with survivors on indoor maps, and some of clown's strongest addons are yellow bottle related (the aura reading one and the increased duration one are very strong when paired together.

maybe you could continue this series. i’d love to see a ‘worst nerfs for every survivor’ and ‘worst nerfs for every killer’ video. i’m not sure if every survivor has received a nerf though haha

When u mentioned the auras, would be cool if you showed a clip of how it looked like and how it looks now for comparison. Just a feedback, great video

Boil Over is still one of the most busted survivor perks in the game. I had a game where 3 people in a swf group had boil over and I had to camp them on top of a large building until they all bled out. It was so unfun and horrible I hate this perk so much

6.1.0 came with several 'buff' nerfs to survivor perks that did not make sense. - Calm spirit got buffed with silent cleansing/opening, but with a 30%speed penalty that was far worse than its benefit - Pharmacy got buffed by "only working when injured". like seriously, wtf. Not only it does not give you the green medkit while you are healthy but also it does not give the chest opening speed boost. - Botany got the healing buffed but received medkit efficience penalty. I dont know why the devs feel the need to buff a perk if they are going to add a restriction that will leave it worse than before

Calm spirit maybe odd but its make some killers and perks annoying to use because they simply don't do what you got them for. Screaming is a big thing for someone like doctor that it really throws you off when you blast and noting happens over and over. Tip for doctor players don't forget to glance as the survivor irons and see if someone tiers up. If they do then you know they likely have calm spirit

Great video keep up the good work!!

Love the video and all the information :)

The blight height buff was the best buff ever

Your videos are so perfect for that stage where you’re not asleep but almost asleep! I love you’re vids sm

Calm spirit was perfect from the beginning

Yay new vid, always love it keep it coming. Also can you do which killer has the best Addons thx 😅😁

The Calm Spirit 'buff' irritated me so much. It's so, so, so bad...

I didn’t even know about like half of these lol, great video btw :O

To paraphrase a particular Survivor contestant about the Calm Spirit "buff": "This is not a buff."

It feels so weird hearing the old outro again. Too used to it changing at the last second lol

Where's the real buff? Pyramid heads cheeks?! Azhymovs we need these details 😂

Bloodlust Buff was needed, also removing it would be horrible for killers

Funny thing about the map offerings, it gives you a 99.99% chance to go to that realm, it does not guarantee it. It just greatly increases the chance to get that map. You have a 0.01% chance to not get the map.

Collaboration video with @MintSkull when? I would love that.

Blight wasn't made taller, just made camera higher. His vision was same with Victor while survivors could easily see him over loop that Blight couldn't see over

Nice video!

bhvr: fixed that blight’s view is at his eyes, and not his cocc that guy: that is so strange that they did that

series idea that kinda relates to this one: perk buffs/nerfs that were a LONG time coming (i'm talking has been asked for at least 3-4 chapters long).

7:37 on the gameplay made me genuinely sad. I feel for you man

very nice video men :) good explenations, have a nice day

Gettimg rid of Bloodlust? That would be a horrible idea! You could just infinitely run the killer around a rock.

Cus of time difference, azhymov always uploads when I’m gunna sleep or when I wake up, a damn good thing to sleep or wake up to if say

3:15 i found this out last year somehow I played a match and one of my teammates used a brown map offering

There's a killer add on for clown that makes the yellow bottles show you nearby survivors. It's super helpful.

2 blights on preview reminded me of this Keanu Reeves meme template

The speed bottles on clown are very strong, after hearing you talk about some of these it’s clear that you just think these are weird buffs because you’re not very good or you are inexperienced. Clowns issue was having bad gen control and map pressure so they added yellow bottles to move more efficiently around the map and between gens, can also be minimally used in chase too just not on loops as often. Totem sounds may seem quiet but if you’ve ever played killer then you’d know that they can be heard from a considerable distance and give away a survivors location very easily also. Tombstone isn’t broken as it also takes forever to get active and doesn’t last forever, in normal game where you play normal it would be more beneficial to just bring a memento MORI. Bloodlust was a very highly praised buff as chases were taking too long especially on survivor sided maps and in that sense the game seemed survivor sided, they also buffed other chase mechanics alongside it so it made perfect sense to buff it. From how it seems it just feels like you think these mentioned changes are weird because you’re not very knowledgeable about the game or you’re just bad at facing or using the changes

The calm spirit change was a nerf not a buff

Clown’s yellow bottle should absolutely not benefit survivors. But I do find it useful at the start of the match and when patrolling gens, throwing it far enough away so it turns yellow while I’m walking through it. I also use it sometimes when I’m at one bottle to give myself a haste buff immediately after reloading.

calm spirit buff represents one of the worst parts of dbd design philosophy concerning new perks - they'll have interesting, perhaps niche, but potentially useful effects, but then just have the most absurdly long cooldown or downside that makes them absolute garbage for literally zero reason. like furtive chase - hooks reduce your terror radius. sounds actually really cool right? well sadly it literally only works in chases for some reason, making it borderline worthless

Seeing my favourite perk calm spirit being buffed made me smile so much. My favourite change in 6.1.0 for survivor.

I would argue the Bloodlust buff makes a pretty reasonable amount of sense when you think about what the mechanic actually does, and what the entire update was intending to achieve itself. Bloodlust may have been introduced for infinites, but now it serves a valuable purpose as one part of three mechanics that ensure no chase lasts forever; that's a good thing because if a chase lasts all game, nobody is having fun, except maybe that one survivor being chased. Additionally, that overall update was meant to make chases more lethal and de-emphasise regression or slowdown. Setting aside how successfully it may or may not have been in that endeavour, it makes sense that the chase-shortening mechanic got buffed in the update trying to emphasise quicker chases.

Calm spirit should hide grunts of pain imagine running a lucky break build and losing the killer by opening a chest.

Oh yeah, there’s the aura buff, after the aura nerf!

@Azhymovs sounds to me that you don’t play clown much at a high level. Good clowns can use the bottles in-conjunction clown speeds themselves up slow survivor down. If done right survivors won’t be able to reach the pallet window or the yellow gas.

I know that this is not an intended buff, but for some reason the stagger cancel is back lmao I got scared when i fast vaulted a window after falling from a high place lol

The Blight "buff" isn't a buff it was them correcting the fact his FOV was bugged. So that isn't a buff at all its a bug fix. Also Ruin was nerfed big time. It does 100 percent not 200. 200 was a different patch.

I know clown mains that knows how to use yellow bottles, one of them has p100 clown too. They use it in a way that guarantees a hit where otherwise a pink pottle cant get all on its own. They also use it as a pocket agitation. You should definitely re-think the opinion on yellow bottles or at least give them a fair try

I hate the tombstone buff because that meant no more Burger King Myers

Damn i still have these old map offerings

tombstone was to stop people from doing burger king myers, which made no sense cause it would make playing him more difficult to play and people willingly did this as a challenge

No one uses the yellow speed bottles. Everyone just uses the pink ones with the slow/blind/exhaust add-ons.

the map offerings were not buffed, item RNG in bloodwebs are not based on the item itself, but rather rarity, so instead of yellow and brown map offerings you now get other brown and yellow addons or offerings, bloodweb is based on rarity, not amount of items

For the map offerings, I'd like an offering for each variant of the maps that have multiple layouts. So instead of playing Macmillan and hoping I don't get Shelter Woods, I could play an offering for Groaning Storehouse. It would clutter the bloodweb, but it would be great to have some choice there

Clown main here I wish I could be mad about the Clown rework, because then I'd at least know what I'm feeling The way they buffed him and the reasoning for doing it that way are confusing to say the least

What kind of build do you use

Oh damn I remember that blight game 🤣 gg

Does anyone remember the iridescent offerings that allowed you to play with a specific killer?

What is your guys killer main

Clown bottles hinder them 15%? Certainly doesn't feel like it in some cases. I even run the addon that increases hindered even further and survivors still make it to loops with ease. I often wonder if they really do move at 4.0m/s or if they received a shadow buff to their running speed.

The "buff" to map offerings was because having different rarities was pretty pointless. If someone brought a map offering of any rarity it'd pretty much guarantee the map you picked, the same way the current map offerings do. BHVR realized this, and simply removed the brown/yellow variants, since they were redundant.

Damn mikaela got an heart attack at the gates

'We have fixed the nurse by nurfing the twins again'

Judith’s tombstone is like a B tier add on what’re you smoking

I wouldn’t consider the ruin rework a buff. Maybe you could consider it strange since it didn’t have the indented nerf effect but it still wasn’t a buff, just a new perk. The reason old ruin is still better then 200% regression ruin is because it gave automatic slowdown. All you needed to do was to protect the totem to get full use out of the perk. New ruin requires the killer pressure the generators in order for you get use out of it. That’s in addition to protecting the totem. So old ruin was a perk that could fit with any killer where new ruin really is most affective with killers who’s power puts pressure in gens (as opposed to chases or hooks).

2:50 - Well too bad, cuz they’re BaNgInG. If you use them correctly you will be able to make such a speed gap between you and survivor.

Unexpected but a welcomed buff

Pretty sure the Blight thing was a legitimate bug that they just fixed. Kinda explains why it took so long lmao.

I feel shirtless wesker would be the most buff thing in dead by daylight

He can you tell me what you think of my build, boil over breakdown prove thy self and either lithe or dead hard

Can you please do a video about legendary skins?

Hi, why do you say bercent?

Pig buff of box rng. Because after all the nerfs it would've been better to keep the streak

Why is fixing the Blight's POV bug considered a buff? His POV was bugged since release, he was never supposed to be that short.

Another fine upload, azhymovs buff is so fine

Bloodlust and boil over buffs were probably the worst

There was a buff to quintens face. i'd say it was a nerf though. i miss my little gremlin

Do anyone watch his video for the endings 😭🤣😭🤣 great vids bro

Can you even call clowns rework a buff? Over 90% of the clowns I face never use the antidote from what I am aware of because it’s so pointless and weak. Plus some of his really good add-ons turned into add ons for the antidote no one cares about.

Worst buff was to the UI, we went from an UI that was rugged and creepy to a polished version that does no make it feel like it is a (technically) horror game

7:49 😂😂😂

Hello!

I love ur videos sm that's why I always comment nonsense under every vid lmao

Calm spirit got nerf its not buff

If u don't understand how clown buff actually helps him, then you are not taking advantage of this at all, you can get hits with combined bottles in places where other killers just dream about.

Now that Dead hard is nerfed do you think it's still good for the UNLIMITED POWER!! Build

Bro fr said tombstone is broken 💀

Gosh there’s not much to talk about dbd other than the lore 😂

Nerf pig

Yeah exactly

Thaaaaaaaaaanksss aaaaaaanddddd goooooooooooooood byyyyee!

For the videos of strange nerfs, you forgot the Kindred nerf of the black orb that literally doesn't let you see the killer's aura, cancelling the whole point of the perk.

does the gameplay look a little slow or just me

Hi

Bloodlust buff was because by the time it made an impact on the chase, you had already "lost the chase" as Killer by wasting too much time. Bloodlust wasn't actually introduced for Infinite's but for ALL loops in general as to why, that requires a bit of a history lesson : Back before patch 1.4.0 Looping was nowhere near as powerful as it is today. In Patch 1.4.0 the developers re-sized the Survivors hit boxes to be smaller, in order to help Survivors not get hit out in the open so easy, and to help compensate for latency issues, this was because DBD was P2P and not dedicated servers. This had an unintentional effect, as Survivors found out they could now hug objects much tighter than before. This, in turn, meant they could run around objects in tighter, and therefore, faster circles than Killers could. Before this, you could get MAYBE one Loop out of a Pallet. Instead of the usual 2-3 now, before having to drop it. Thus, Looping as it is known today was born. This, by all accounts, makes Looping an Exploit as it fits the definition of video game exploits. Survivors, still reeling from the loss of true Infinites, took to this like fish to water. The developers planned to fix it at first, but quickly decided to leave it in the game and try to balance around it due to pressure from their Survivor player base. The majority player base of Survivor Mains just couldn't win without having something that was blatantly game breaking to abuse. Most Survivors then told the biggest lie in the games history : "We want to be chased all game! That's what's fun!" In order to protect this new exploit. The developers caved, and have been struggling to re-balance the game for its inclusion ever since. Killers were simply ill-equipped to deal with Looping and Stealth. This is why Killers now have a PLETHORA of aura reading perks, add ons, powers, and abilities. The developers gave the Survivors what they wanted, to be chased all game and let them have their loops. They are simply trying to give both sides what they want. Killers the power to be able to stand up to Looping, Survivors the game play they wanted. Though truth is, neither side is very happy. In short : Killers are getting the balance they wanted (I say getting cause they still aren't there yet). However, not the game play they want. Survivors are got the game play they wanted, but not the balance they want (as in being OP as hell). Throughout the History of DBD the balance of the game has been nothing but the Survivors bunny hoping from one broken thing to abuse to the next. Infinites, Looping, Instant-Blind Flashlights, Pre-nerf Brand New Parts (The first nerf wasn't enough, and the second wasn't either. Only after the third and most recent nerf is BNP balanced), and finally Gen Rushing. Killers had only one truly game breaking exploit they abused the crap out of that lasted for any decent amount of time, and that was Machine Gun Build. Even now, survivors are STILL abusing a plethora of things that break the game's balance. Most noteworthy being SWF on voice comms. Mostly paired with three things that have yet to be addressed from the OG that are broken as well when SWF teams have them at their disposal : Large amounts of insane heal med kits, rushing the crap out of the gens, a a few broken perks. Killers have been pigeon holed into playing a very strict meta of Gen Regression and Aura Reading perks to deal with Looping and Gen Rushing, which even then still doesn't work very well.

No offense bro but I can kinda tell you do not know how to play clown cause there's a huge amount of areas where yellow bottles Carry in chase

For the algorithm
