I think the first step is to reduce the number of keys to unlock the basement from 6 to 5 becuase 6 is way too much and 5 keys for each kid makes sense.They should increase the death time for the neighbour from 25seconds to 40 seconds since 25 seconds is nothing for the kids to find keys.The toy gun should have 2 bullets and neighbour grab should take a second longer.The neighbour should not be able to transition in the first minute instead of 30 seconds, so it prevents those endless neighbour fights in the start of the game where the neighbour stops you from thinking about keys.The screen shaking because of the neighbour is annoying and should be reduced.Keys should be easier to find and the detective's pictures need to brighter to see.A lot of people in my games leave when they are not the neighbour because it is unplayable and so hard.I play neighbour brainlessly hooking people behind a door and spaen camping and I always win.Sometimes I feel bad and just let them have a chance.The timer is also too short at 15 minutes instead of 20 minutes.And Lastly definetly remove the laser thingies that made the neighbour more deadly.The neighbour just needs to basement camp and you will never unlock or open the basement.The game should be a draw when you avoid getting caught.The balancing team is making the neighbour role super unbalanced #1047330977103482932 #secret-neighbor
#The neighbour role is way too strong

No.
It's the opposite.
The kids are way too strong.
Especially leader and scout.
If you're fighting a leader, you get blinded every 20 seconds if they stick with other kids.
The scout can easily spam the slingshot.
And 5 keys will make it easier for detectives.
but the scout has only 10 shots and it is his only ability
he cant spam
He doesn't even stun you
It does damages.
Only slow for 0,5 sec
they nerfed him in a patch
12 damage bro
It is nothing
it should be back to stun
Meh. I'll probably check tommorrow.
in my games people leave if they are not tbe neighbour because it is impossible to get y keys while not dying from a killer secret neighbour
Also, unless that got patched, the scout's slingshot can make the neighbour drop the kid.
Huh.
What platform are you playing?
pc
Well yes, but on pc it's probably because of the cheater problem.
I said that that would make it easier for detectives.
yes but if a neighbour 1v1s all 5 kids until they die he wins
With the amount of red badges I see usually, that would just make it easier.
That explains a lot.
1v1? They are all sticking together.
no they do not lol.Not forever
Actually, that's the issue.
There isn't enough ways to split them.
there is
looking for keys
they stick at the start when you should not be transitioning
at the end everyone is lost
she can..
may be nothing, but since she can spam it youll be low hp in no time
i heavily disagree with this post
40 second death time especially is crazy
its not even hard to kill the neighbor
you do know she has only 10 shots
that is not spam
it is her only ability
40 seconds is deserved since you should not be dying on neighbour if your killing people behinf their backs 1v1 or 2v1
you can only die when it is like a 4 v1
yeah, but those can deal a lot of damage in no time if you just spam him with nuts
scouts can also just easily refill anytime and fast
have you tried butcher he never dies
💀
because he has like 3 hp points more?
his hook is crazy good
butcher is literally ome of the weakest neighbors
he needs 11 hits to kill
That is a lot
40 seconds is fair
The game is already hard enough without a neighbour
finding keys is very hard
not when power milk and 5 kids item spamming you exist
butcher is slow, his ability can be countered with a saucepan, and his slowness also makes it hard to get away from the kids
they can just look for keys while fighting
it is good for them to spam because they waste time
its not that hard
how?
your screen is shaking
no way
by pressing a button
please tell me youre joking
I KNOW
you can not look for keys
its called the fear effect
they should remove it
but how is that gonna prevent me from looking for keys lmao
it literally just shakes the screen for like 3 or 5 seconds
- your vision is not limited, your screen only shakes
- getting grabbed is ok when theres literally 4 other people im the same room as me
its called sticking together
but sometimes they do not look good enough
they just leave a spot
people do not stick in solo que
why would they do that lol
detective only needs 3
which you need one crowbar for
that is too much
honestly
it did not use to need that
skill issue
back then it was fair
its so easy killing the neighbor
no traps kr crowbar needed
detective's ability has blury and dark pictures prettt useless mostly
the crow is more useful than him
no it is not.I literally never lost a game as neighbour when I tried
just close a door behind a kid and grab
the kids can literally end a match in less than 5 minutes, leader is still op, you can skip like 90% of the keycards using exploits, the neighbor has almost no way of splitting up the kids because of vents, reverse engineer and other easy workarounds, keycards and keys can easily be found because they spawn in specific rooms most of the time..
i could go on
💀
the sounds are literally map wide
you will hear the scream of the kid getting grabbed, closing a door wont stop people
the neighbor is not a threat at all
more like a pushover
but good enough to not be able to find 6 keys
6 keys is way too much for 5 kids only
5 for 5 makes sense
also the problem with this game is it is dead no one makes tutorials on maps and finding keys
it is all muscle memory
sure, here are some skips.
on map 1 go to the barrels mear the car and jump to the side of the house on the planks, comgrats you skipped to the lvl. 1 are in less than a minute.
on map 2 use third person mode to look behind a wall and flick a lever to skip to the lvl. 3 area
on map 3 stack one item at the fence where the teleporter and sonar is located to skip to lvl. 3
on map 4 go to the shed and use third person mode to look behind it and flick the lever to open the shed doors
the new amusement park map is so big and confusing
these are just some
its been out since 2021 bro
you can also beat the amusement park without using a single keycard
you can skip to any area
no
dude, the map consists of 4 indoor sections
the hell you mean no lmao
you dont
want me to explain how to skip them
yep
alright, bet
it definetly is box stacking aint it
to skip to the lvl. 1 area, use the green bottle next to the lvl. 1 door and drop it on the keycard reader and jump on it instantly
to skip to lvl. 2, go to the electrical button door at the lvl. 2 entrance and spam third person mode to look behind the button door and press the button
to skip to lvl. 3, once again go to the button door near the tent and bookshelf and look behind the wall using third person mode to press the button
there
anyway, if you want to learn about more skips please ask other members cuz im out
wdym by button door
Neighbor role isn’t all that unless you’re a Taxidermist
I don't sure
If it experienced scary neighbor, then it can be not so easy
Nah screw this idea the neighbor is supposed to be this strong. The game is balanced enough
Balanced enough?
The leader can blind you for a huge 5 seconds and also heal other kids.
The detective can easily find keys, as there is a good number spawning in keycard 1 areas.
the scout can really be annoying when trying to catch a kid.
There isn't enough ways to seperate the kids and with the vents, it's worse.
Also, the game is way too combat oriented.
Also why did they add vents ngl back in the day there weren't vents tbf
It's way easier to stick together than to seperate.
Not wrong.
Only way to counter those stuff is :
Rage ability, smoke bomb, using the hook (though the vents makes the gate technic redundant), going in ghost form (as you can heal), using the screech, or actually seperating the kids.
Adding vents is a good thing☠️🙏
They saved me lots of times in chases against the neighbor when I was the last kid left.
Then they should be nerfed.
It makes using gates redundant as you can simply search for a vent.
what did I just read.
Guys the post is about the neighbour role being too overpowered not the other way around
Your abilities should have longer cooldowns
5 second hook 20 second somke bomb too short
but please let me join
are you on switch?
40 second respawn time
unless the kids know the map exactly
seems fair
the neighbour can also do the same for a kid
but he does not die completly
youre not real
I love playing neighbour and would not mind these changes
I would still win
but the game would be balanced for all skill levels
are you playing on switch?
give me those lobbys
why?
do you always win as kids
it almost never happens if a nieghbour actually tried
most of them end up t bagging on the basement door saying hi
that is how I win
I mean the worst part is the game is now unplayable for the kids becuase of the random traps everywhere and the crazy laser smoke
that is a secret buff to the neighbour role yet again
the guest is probably the most op and annoying to play againist
always
how long have you been playing the game
way too long
that is a skill issue for your neighbours
oh no you got it wrong
then you dont have good lobbys
even when the neighbour does not just t bag
watch secret neighbor beginners guide
you said you were on xbox right?
well xbox on pc
???
did you know you can customize the neighbor character
there are no guides for this dead game now 😂
sadly
look at the leaderboard
thats my lobbys
im also in them somewhere
no no I am really good at the neighbour he is just too overpowered now with the random traps everywhere
?
You play bad lobbys. Theres no other explanation
you want to test it?I mean how good are you do block every door watch your back and miss no shots
test what
The same could be said when the neighbour loses
a good team will win against a good neighbor most of the time
Balancing the game should not be for leaderboard players it should be for more average lower skilled players
the guest is op as hell
do you watch the gaming world he literally destroys as neighbour?
he is in high level gamea
block doors ❌
watch back ❌
miss no shots ✅
dripped out ✅
dripped out??!
thats the last place you should look
ever
the gaming world
I mean can you give us tips to find those damn keys
of course
is not a human
he is the neigbour role is op
know the map layout
common key spits
spots
most rooms have common key spawns
I feel like they are too rare still
like the greenhouse or attic on map 1
no
I search every cabinet and none
Honestly
no
I think Id win a 1v1 as a kid against 99% of players. 6 locks, 15min, keycards on
no way sherlock
aslong im not like bagger
a 1v1?
I thought a 5v1 was easy
last one standing
vs neighbour?
but if you get grabbed it is over
no vs mr beast
chair
intended feature
and do you not like feel fear?
the screen shaking
most of the kids are faster when it comes to running speed
then come
im coming
everyone dances in circles
ill be spectating
how do you kill as kid
bro
you know I can basement camp
unless your an inventor
16
I have not warmed up but alright
lets move this to #secret-neighbor
