The First Thing You Learned?
About a week or so ago I was in a 2 person SWF. I'm, sadly, in the red ranks with my potato skill and went in queues with a friend who is rank 10. She accepts that she's not too good, hasn't played in a while (and only started again recently), and she's got an illness that doesn't really help. She just wants to have fun though.
However, the other randoms we had in our match got annoyed she didn't look behind her in chases because it's apparently "the first thing you learn." I defended her to which they got annoyed that I was being nice for my friend I guess. But both of us talk about it for a moment and decided, "That was most definitely not the first thing I learned."
So it makes me think, what IS the first thing everyone learned?
For me it was how to hit the skill checks, or if not the obvious things you learn then it was best spots to sit on a gen while looking out for the killer so you don't get pulled off/so you know where to run to avoid a hit.

I learned how to drop a pallet. Tried to jump with space multiple times.

The first things Ilearmed when I started to play in 2016 was hitting skillchecks obviously. However, back then everyone was still in the learning phase and didn't know much, so there was no big deal. In 2017 I made a really long break from the game and started again in 2018. I noticed pretty fast that not only the game had changed, but also the skill level of the players. But I wanted to get better and to survive longer than 15 seconds in a chase and I started to watch YouTube videos and streams and I noticed pretty fast what the main difference between these skill levels was. They always knew where the killer was and they didn't throw every single pallet. They looked behind them. And this was actually the first thing I learned to improve my skills.
So I would say it is obviously not the first thing ever to learn, but the first thing you learn to improve yourself.
However, I'd never attack anyone for not doing it. Some people just play for fun and maybe see no need to improve their skills and it is completely fine. I just did learn it because I wanted to get better, just for myself.

I started playing last month, DBD is my girlfriend's favorite game, and she wanted me to try it so we could play together. We first launched custom games, so i could learn about the basics.
The very first thing i have learned is about Terror Radius and crows making noise ( i spawned near that big building with many crows flying away to alert the killer you are entering it ).

That DBD is even more toxic than R6

After I saw my first Nurse game play video, I learned immediately that she's strongest killer in the game because she goes through walls. But I am not sure about that after the recent patch.

The first thing I learned is that you can lunge attack as a Killer. I think I spent a whole month playing killer not knowing you could lunge attack.

I think she's still pretty strong tbh, Nurse players just need to adjust. I actually got a nurse match the other day (which is a rarity now it feels) and she was quite op... not including the very questionable hits she made at the start.
Ye, I'm sure that's the first thing some people learn when trying to improve but then there's people like me who don't watch videos much. Just sucks that some others seem to think that you need to be pro and learn every little thing before you play, we jus wanna have funs.

The first thing I learnt as a survivor (beyond tutorial stuff) was that there's two types of totems, and that one is related to hex perks. Sure it wasn't to look back in chase, I only started that after a few months.
As a killer, it was lunge attack. I never had hooked anyone before.

I learnt that I like hag :)
But also that survivor is waaaaaaaay easier than playing killer when your trying to do challanges like the archives or dailies

In my first game I learned two things.
Firstly, that running through grass to find a bear trap that I saw the Trapper put in that general area is a bad idea.
Secondly, just because it says "Attempt Escape" you shouldn't, as I tried 3 times and then died as I wasn't prepared to struggle.

The first thing I learned was how exploitive killers really are in this game. I got frustrated with my first few games as survivor because I couldn't hit skill checks and I couldn't hide/chase, played a couple of killer matches then instantly got better as survivor.

The attempt escape thing....my god how many of my first games that is what I tried as I was always the first one hooked.
It wasnt until I saw someone unhook someone else that I even realized that was an option.

Hitting skill checks. I was too much of a coward to really show myself to the killer so I didn't loop much at first.

When the gen goes boom, run :)

First thing I learned in the game itself (early 2017) is that Wraith gets no respect...very first game I played I did Wraith killer and got BMed badly enough I didn’t go back to him for a long while.
first thing I learned as a survivor - I’d been introduced to the game by videos so I knew the super basics already, so I guess the first thing I truly learned was that stealth isn’t rewarded in DbD. You can stealth all you want (and I still do) but you don’t get points for it.
