For this week I have chosen to talk and reflect on an argument on the balance of the game 'Dead By Daylight' an asymmetric horror game where one 'killer' must fight against four 'survivors' to win. In the argument the original posted stated that the killer side was too weak when compared to the survivor side.
In the argument the original posted cites that several killers are bad due to a variety of reasons such as a lacking basekit (their tools / unique game mechanics), generous generator speeds (the mechanic survivors need to use to win the game), and map design that favors survivor.
The first concern of mine in this document is that the poster is largely biased towards certain killers. Their username is named after the killer Legion and subsequently states he is on the better side when he is low on the totem poll balance-wise.
My next concern is in the fact that several comments imply that the original post was edited to some degree, as many of them mention the 'Hag' killer stating that the original poster talked about them when the post has nothing on that specific killer.
My last concern is in the fact that the original poster doesn't have any concrete facts such as actual generator completion speeds or percentages of survivor escapes, thus there are no reliable sources.
When arguing online here are my 5 rules to take into account:
1. Try to have concrete facts to back up your opinions.
2. Look at current trends to see how your argument will be received.
3. Try to limit bias to the best of your ability.
4. Do not edit your argument afterwards unless it is in a separate comment.
5. Try to think of your own arguments weak points and plan around them.
