fixedThere's nothing worse than power creep. League of Legends has it. Valorant has it. Overwatch is slowly starting to have it. As online multiplayer games grow and grow, older members of the roster simply get left behind as a more effective characters take their place, or their abilities become moot (thinking of my dear top laner, Singed). Dead by Daylight isn't immune to that creep, with new Killers and Survivors forever getting more complex kits. That, in part, has lead to a huge number of in-game modifiers which, until now, have been allowed to stack infinitely. The latest round of DBD patch notes , however, have finally addressed one of my biggest complaints about the game.
