So after so many games, i formed better opinion on game (Rank 8 and climbing)
Survivors are super strong, i mean, i am trying to play both sides now, and when i die as a survivor, its because of bad teammates or my own mistake. But i never feel like i am powerless. I can outrun killer, outjump him trough windows, stun him trough pallets and flashlight ... I am sorry so many times for killer its not even funny.
Only what it takes for me to escape is one perk and window. Mostly i am just saving my teammates, and because of killer point of view, i am much better in ranks then other survivors so i usually escape trough hatch.
As from killer view, its a pain, sure its doable, but i have sweat matches every freaking time, reds know where to turn, how to maneuvere, heck i had survivor which looped me for gens WITHOUT ANY PERKS TO INCREASE HER SPEED! And she was faster then me. I dont want to accuse of hacking or anything, but this did not feel normal.
I love this game, and this community. Fact is however, after 100 more hours spend in the game since my last post, i think games are dooable, and making it to the red rank is as well. But game is becoming less and less fun for me. Archives help a ton sure. But its META perk build, or you dip and being make fun of by reds.
Problem is not loosing, problem is, if i want to go build i would love (Obsession, Hex Trial, I am speed, And way we go)
(For those who migh thinking what some of my builds are, Hex Trial is Devour Hope, Ruin, Third Seal and another hex by my own choosing. I am speed is Fire up, Brute Strenght, Play with your Food and Save the best for last. Way we go is Pop goes the Weasel, Overcharge, Ruin and Thrilling Tremors and Surveliance)
And i have a lot of more builds, but i cant play them. Why? Not because i lose, loosing is fine! But i have no chance with those, altough those build can be strong on paper, they are super weak in practice. Because of new parts, new parts and gen rushes, adrenalines etc. You end up survivors being toxic and full of theirself because you want to play the way you have your fun. And it gets frustrated. Especialy when you play killer which is not "Meta" so they cant end chases quickly enough.
As someone who discussed it in a good manner and discussion, the balance is issue at higher ranks, higher you are, survivors know better of map, exploits and loops which can loop killers for precious minutes. While other survivors use new parts and perks to make one chase be your doom. While in lower ranks, you get called out being a cheater and names for playing from your experience against reds.
And again, i dont mind hard games, i dont mind loosing. But if i get frustrated 90% of the games as a killer, and focus hard, while survivors just install new parts and open gates, i dont feel like its fair for both sides. Survivor still feels booring if i have decent team, and killer feels frustrating because ONE mistake is way how to lose game. Which is no space for having fun or even learn much trough matches. Hope this change as my skill grows, but thats as i see game now.
Good luck on trials! And remember, we want to have fun together, dont split the game and be fair to game balance. I am doing my part by playing as survivor as well! Hopefully see you in a game as a teammate on prey!
Happy gaming!
