To honset what help get rid of killer anxiety taking break from dbd go outside hangin out with friends

Merry Christmas, Mandy ❤️

I don't get tunneled every match, nor did I claim I did, but the majority of my matches do involve the killer going for tunnel out on someone. Comp DBD largely revolves around a tunnel out, are comp survivors weak links? Are comp killers low MMR? I'm not saying comp DBD is truly comparable to queuing up but comp killers wouldn't go for one if it didn't work and it works for them a lot of the time. Often a killer chases me for tenish seconds and then drops to go somewhere else, which leads into the next point.

The fact that there are ppl like me who can hold 5 gen chases is proof enough for me personally that DBD is fine and even survivor favored.

Any killer that lets you get a 5 gen chase is an unskilled killer. A remotely competent killer would drop chase until you are one of the last remaining survivors, or find you in a disadvantageous position, or simply down you well before it becomes a five gen chase. I'm not saying that it doesn't take skill to five gen chase even against an unskilled killer (takes way more skill than the killer getting a tunnel out does), but five gen chases are much more a showcase of a killer skill issue.

The fact that there are ppl like me who can hold 5 gen chases is proof enough for me personally that DBD is fine and even survivor favored. Most ppl just don't like hearing this truth and will downvote instead of improving their plays/loops. It is what it is.

You're right, most people don't like hearing the truth, like how "unbeatable" high mmr four mans have an escape rate below 50%. These are the strongest survivors in the game and they lose more than they win. That's killer sided, with real data behind it, not feels. I'm not even asking for that part to change, I want survivor to feel like an uphill battle, I want the game to be killer sided, I'm tired of people staring facts in the face and claiming it isn't already that way. And yes it depends on which killer we are talking about here, but the majority are far stronger than people will claim and its a skill issue on their part.

I would be fine with leaving tunneling in the game but then it must be reasonable for the remaining survivors to escape based on their skill alone, that doesn't happen right now. One survivor dead leaves the rest in a doomed match unless every remaining survivor is significantly better than the killer. If it were reasonable to escape in that situation the game would be much more reflective of 4 1v1s as well.

The problem is this game still markets itself as a casual horror party game despite having an extremely tryhard gameplay design

We can clearly see from recent sweaty, complex killer designs (bar springtrap because he comes from a point and click game), all the way tracing back to the removal of pallet vacuum and the addition of medium vaults, that devs are ultimately balancing this game for the sweaty compers. I think it’s time to admit that dbd isnt a casual game. Personally i’ve admitted it. I dont launch dbd to have a good laid back time on neither survivor nor killer. Because you literally cant past the beginner mmr

I have generalised anxiety disorder in real life, there's no way I'd play a game or role that caused me anxiety lol only advice i can give is have no expectations when going into a game. Don't concern yourself with the outcome. Can't stress if you don't care.

Not that I agree with this choice myself, but didn't they do something similar with Cheryl from silent Hill?

Iirc she's like 16 in the original game but they intentionally "aged her" to 18 in the DbD lore to avoid exactly this problem.

bump this to keep it on top for newcomers or regulars until mods address it

The body blocking seems to be her main counter.

She was kinda built strong with the anti tunnel (first ptb) in mind where she was strong enough to make up for being forced to spread hooks. Then they took out the anti tunnel change and she was still too strong, so they nerfed her into what she has now and i have no idea anymore if her design was intended to deny people mushrooms by not switching often or not as they nerfed that too and put mushrooms everywhere even if ur not changing forms often. So at most its kindof an unfinnished killer and all i can say is dont worry about the mushrooms as you can easily keep the chased target infected, but anyone coming to body block just switch / spit / switch and keep going i guess.
