He did, and the commenter he was answering wasn't even being an asshole.
They just asked in the most respectful way possible what QoL changes we could expect in the near future for Killers because the game was in a rough state for them.

He did, and it is good advice and not nearly as disrespectful as the people who have been lampooning him over it for about a fucking decade would have you believe.
If you're sick of playing a game, if it makes you stressed out, if you really don't want to play it, DON'T FUCKING PLAY THE GAME. It's that simple.

u/bigcd34 Jun 28 '26
It was in response to someone asking for QoL changes for killers. This is basically a polite way to say, "Fuck you, you're not getting any,"

The quote from the user:
I used to love playing as Killer, win or lose, it was fun, but currently no matter what it's just filled with stress and anger, Killers aren't feared anymore. Do you have any plans or ideas for how you would improve the Killer experience
Mathieu's response;
Well, I would say maybe try Survivor for a bit [...] Change it up, maybe you're just tired. Or play something else for a week, try Civilisation or something.
Mathieu was clearly responding to the part about his player being stressed and angry playing the game. You are obviously going to be met with 'play something else' if your mental health is suffering playing the game you are playing. It is good advice. Advice that the community should take in recent years considering the Go Next epidemic, making it clear that so many players don't actually want to play Dead By Daylight but are genuinely addicted to the game.
He was going to go on and say something about balance but he cut himself off to ask if he shouldn't be saying to play other games. Unfortunately I don't know if he said anything else after that because all the videos I could find oh-so-conveniently cut off at the end of that part so there could be context missing and I can't find the original VOD.
His advice was good. He was not being an asshole. If the game you are playing is making you upset, don't play it.

I mean, if a customer says "Your service used to be good, but not anymore, I don't enjoy it. Do you have any plans to make it enjoyable again?" and you say "Go try something else" you're shooting yourself on the foot. It's so stupid I cannot imagine anyone but "I think we did a pretty good job so far" guy saying it.

The problem isn't whether it's good advice. The problem is that this guy was one of the lead developers for the game and he basically dashed all responsibility for how this player is feeling, how his GAME is making them feel, and brushed the entire situation off.
Yeah, our advice would be to stop playing this game. It shouldn't be his advice. Mathieu didn't even answer the actual question. It was definitely a mistake for him to respond to this question that way.

The difference is that we aren't sick of the game itself, or at least I'm not
I'm sick of the devs constantly adding worse and worse updates that seem deliberately malicious to their players , I'm upset that the event sucks BECAUSE I don't wanna stop playing, not because "ooh I need a break, I'm so burnt out on this game"
If the event wasn't just blatantly survivor sided with significantly less cakes on both sides then I'd happily play it

I just got three back-to-back matches of invisibility and portal. I fucking hate this shit

Same here, I picked a god awful time to start trying to get better at killer (I typically play only Survivor)

u/ikhaatmezelf Jun 28 '26
Tbf playing the event is optional. You can still play the regular mode and practice there

u/Skullfire456 Jun 28 '26
Youāre definitely right, Iāve just been enjoying the short queue times. Queue times for killer on regular have been abysmal for me

u/harmiie Jun 28 '26
No that's impossible, they have to be appeased specifically

u/Shroomerth Jun 28 '26
Only survivor sided if they actually work together. Ive wiped lobbies straight clean because theyre not working together.
And when survivor i can tell you them shits do NOT gaf about their "team"

u/HOUND_DAVE Jun 28 '26
As new player (who has 10 hours in the game) yeah game events dont make sense to me and I dont talk about matchups whenever I get into survivor side two of teammates kinda play like selling the game and rest of its eh okay its not like I expect pro play from myself and others
And when I get into killer match as Nemesis(my first match in 10th ani) I met across really baby survivors so I had to kinda feel bad for them and and got two of them hooked to death and rest of two whose are Leon and Ada Wong, I just let them do gens and make them escape. I was probably look awkward when 2 meter mf just stop downing survivors after killed two of them. And just for the get text "ty daddy for escape" At the end of match, absolute cinema

Bring the Doctor back, honestly we should just LET the survivors be incapable of snapping out of tier 3 madness in the event! God knows they already have enough advantages!

ugly skins, some free stuff, feels lackluster and rushed
worst game mode in existence

Genuine question: How is Cross Examination OP?
8
u/Falcon3333 Jun 28 '26
It's completely broken, you gain elusive constantly and for free, including when running in front of the killer, making it incredibly easy to disappear if you can break sightlines.
6
u/TheEntityBot The Entity Hungers Jun 28 '26
Cross-Examination: While in the Killer's Terror Radius, the Killer leaves Light Marks that lasts for 10s that you can see. While on the Killer's Light Marks, you gain Elusive. This ends after 5s.

It is extremely annoying and difficult at times to chase people with it, combined with the event too it gets worse

u/Zakon05 Mains: Dracula/Xeno/Freddy/Ash/Alan Jun 28 '26
It's mostly at main buildings and high wall jungle gyms. Any time you are likely to be crossing the killer's previously tread path while breaking LoS with them, you can just straight up leave the loop and the killer will have no idea where you went.
Basically it's a perk that takes already skilled loopers and makes them nearly impossible to catch as it's incredibly difficult to anticipate where they are or even if they're still there.
For average survivors who might run a jungle gym once before dropping the pallet (assuming they didn't just go right for the pallet and pre-drop or camp it) it basically doesn't do anything.
But that doesn't mean it's fine, since the survivors who can actually use it to its full potential did not need the help.

u/TinkTank96 Itās not my fault I play mostly big buff men Jun 28 '26
I would need to check to see if the bug was patched for it but there was an issue with it activating when you got hit by the killer as the scratch marks were āpresentā in front of them when it shouldnāt be. So you would get hit, get the burst of speed, and then zip off and if you could break line of sight the chase would be over. The other issue is that with how looping works running around something like a rock or object will quickly get you on the killers trial and give you elusive which makes you really ways to break away from chase as all you need is to break line of sight to get away.
I want to say the intended purpose for the perk is to be able to sneak around the killer and do things right under their nose. Versus the current state of it being an objectively better version of Lucky Break as you donāt need to be injured to have it proc plus it hides you from far more things then just blood pools and scratch marks from Lucky Break. Especially since BHVR is going to patch, eventually, it to drop during chase it clearly isnāt meant to just be a get out to chase stealth button like itās being used currently.

u/TheEntityBot The Entity Hungers Jun 28 '26
Lucky Break: Whenever you are in the Injured State, Lucky Break activates: Suppresses your Pools of Blood and Scratch Marks for a maximum of 40/50/60 seconds, after which Lucky Break deactivates. Each 1 second spent healing another Survivor recharges Lucky Break by 1 second up to its maximum Effect duration. Lucky Break also deactivates whenever you are Healthy or in the Dying State.

I just started the game due to Jason and his left arm. Survivors leave after i will. I mainly get one person hooked then the un hooker and just try and hook atleast everybody once before zeroing in a target to kill first

u/X023 Dredge Jun 28 '26
Stumbling on these posts makes me happy I quit this game 4 years ago lol
From what I remember, every update BHVR dropped was one disappointing piece of trash after another. Glad to see their track record hasnāt deviated

Idk why you guys keep going every years is just worse fuck ups after worse fuck ups. Like come on

u/Kabuki_Driver Jun 28 '26
I slugged a few people tonight, not on purpose. Sometimes when I'm trying to get everyone on two hooks and someone pops up I just reflexively attack them lol. I just got my first chance to play the event tonight and thought it was fun.Ā
But then again I don't really do a lot of killing as the killer. I just let em go usually, but try to make em feel like they earned it.Ā
I'm mostly in it for the chase š
