Best Of

It's getting old. I don't think I've seen Ormond Resort in 300+ matches.

Why do you think this just applies to Killer players? I'm a Survivor main and I'm more or less totally burned out on the role by this point. Killer mains are burned out because that's the side they're most invested in and the side they've played the most. It's less a comment on the current state of the game and more a reflection of their own personal headspace right now.

I didn't watch all the videos, but I did watch the CovoCava video because it does reference a recent video from Otz that I have watched. And I do actually agree with Otz, the game is in a much, much better state than it was (I first started playing about 3 years ago). Regardless of how I might personally feel about DBD, it's objectively true that big improvements have been made in the last few years.

In their video, CovoCava conveniently ignores the "BS" that Survivor players typically have to face, so here's a big ol' list of things in the game that I no longer have the patience for anymore:

• Being forced to play out games that have been lost in the first 4 minutes because the Killer went for an easy tunnel out.
• Killers slugging the entire team.
• Slugging for the 4K to deny hatch.
• Every new Killer having 2 or more powers, as well as being way too strong for the average SoloQ team to handle.
• Survivor perks being hobbled on release or nerfed because SWFs / more experienced Survivors can get too much value out of them.
• The only new Survivor item for years nerfed into uselessness a week after it was released.
• None of the changes from the 2 PTBs meant to address Survivor pain points being added to live servers (so no carrot, yet we still got the stick part of the equation with harsher DC penalties and go next prevention).

See, I can do it too. But I know these things don't bother everyone.

When I first started playing, I struggled through some of the worst Survivor games imaginable. I would put up with anything because I was still learning, the game felt fresh and fun to me and playing Survivor felt scary and thrilling. But that was a long time ago and I've run out of patience to deal with the stuff I personally find annoying. Nowadays I jump on a couple hours a week to play some casual Killer games and I only play Survivor during events. It helps that I'm less invested in my Killer games and I feel like I have more agency (so I get less irritated). I can still find some enjoyment from playing Killer but Survivor… Not so much.

Tl;DR - Some of us have played way too much DBD and we don't realise when we need to take a break sometimes. It's just player burnout. It's really as simple as that, imo.

I would also appreciate the featured map queue for this new map being implemented.

looks like survivors are below the wanted thresholds, and long killer queue times

BHVR since a long time now, the most hated and poorly designed maps are boosted. Nobody gets why this is the case. If you do this for data collection, how long can it take. What kind of bad developer do you need to be to not get this.

I don't like this map. ABANDON. Why not, eh?

Tired of sweaty and toxic players. Tired of getting irritated and frustrated with myself, the game and other players. Tired of feeling like I wasted an evening when I sign off unsatisfied. Tired of regretting even giving gaming a second chance sometimes. I'm honestly just drained and over it all. Hope you can all somehow keep enjoying this cycle because I think I'll be dropping the game at last. Actually, maybe even online games as a whole. Ironic, seeing as the tenth anniversary is starting soon too. Congrats, and, maybe, even thanks, Dead By Daylight. I'm finally considering waking up.

I mean I am more so talking about balance patches like the upcoming Trickster rework like is anything changing or not?
