What is the thing that pisses you off more than anything in a match?
Dont be shy, we all have something that makes us mad when it happens in-game or when we see someone else do it
For me is any kind of abuse of a DS stun, like making a dangerous save next to the gate, staying on a 90%'d gen and forcing the killer to pick you up or entering a locker with head-on for the double stun
Please try to be civil and not insult anyone specifically, get mad about the situation, not the player. Also try to avoid insulting the devs, they are doing their best at their job

Dedicated servers.
They screw me over when playing killer, they screw me over when playing survivors. They are nothing but a frustration, and inferior to the previous peer-to-peer system in any way.

Frame drops, lag, and getting cucked out of grabs

They were enabled for a day or two on XBOX One. Made me wanna uninstall.
Even with a green ping I felt a delay using my power allowing survivors to reach windows/pallets and as survivor I got hit from MILES away (visually on my screen. I know it looks different from killer's pov but that doesn't make the gameplay less #########).
Right now XBOX is back to peer to peer and everything works great again. I recon I will just move to another game for good when they enable the servers again. DBD is not playable with dedicated servers as it's a distance based game like no other game in the world. Every inch counts during a chase so you can't have a client be a few meters next to said client's actual hitbox. It's not skill based gameplay when the dedicated servers decide whether a hit (visually) connects from miles away or not.

Infinitelooping. Reason why i almost stopped playing killer over the years. Why bother when the pinnacle of skill and efficiency is running circles around one window and theres nothing you can do to win. Such a ######### mechanic, but devs turn blind eye for their precious survivors. ######### infinites

Finding a toxic survivor who is good at looping, and I'm playing a low tier killer.
I feel so helpless.

There has not been a post in this forum i have ever agreed more ;)
Yep its dedicated servers. This "experiement" has to stop asap, please. I would rather have a lagswitcher once in a while then this mess we suffer from right now.

The struggle is real

Survivors being unhooked and immediately running to the corner of the map before they’ll let me heal them, especially with We’ll Make It and the killer nowhere in sight.

There is also the other end of the spectrum, survivors crouching for you to heal them as you start to hear the killer coming back

Stupid team mates. Always tilting to have potatoes in red ranks

Any map with grass, corn or bamboo. Can't see S***

As Survivor: Useless Randoms, who are Red rank, but play like absolute Potatoes.
As Killer: Getting a DS after having hooked another Survivor
And the servers sometimes. Especially if I play Plague. You hit the vomit, even the surv does the animation for getting infected and then.. nothing.

The thing that really pisses me off the most is when I have a great game, open the gate, run to the exit, and as I'm leaving my character runs in place and it brings me back to the main menu and I get banned. I checked my connection and it's fine. This particular event has only happened once (5 minutes ago) I hope it doesn't happen again. It has happened differently. It used to happen on Xbox all the time when I was running to save someone or looking for the hatch. Running "OOOOO Hatch!" Disconnects -_______- "#########?" Running "I gotchu Jake!" Disconnects

As killer, DS and BT abuse. I generally don't camp nor tunnel, so when survivors force the activation of those perks I find it particularly irritating.
As a survivor, basically everything thanks to dedicated servers and matchmaking.

As Survivor: Dedicated Servers. When they hit Xbox, my god, I felt like I needed to plan so far ahead. I personally loved the windows that pulled me back through after vaulting through them.
As killer: Being frozen in place on grabs/hooks. So much fun!
1 -
Gen Rushing. Literally no one gets points in a game that lasts 5 mins and it's such a waste of addons, makes me wish killers got their addons back if a game doesn't last long enough becuase you can't win when a game lasts 4-5 mins.

Dedicated Servers.
Frame drops.
And most of all...
Both of em at the same time.

Those bad hits don't look different from killer POV at all unless they're using a VPN and playing in EU from china or something (which is cheating!) I've hit many a people throguh a window at a point where I shouldn't be able to, but conversely I've had so many M1's literally go through the bodies of healthy survivors that it's obscene. This includes when they're just beginning the fast vault animation, too. And when they're running around in my face...or i catch up to them. (The no hit reg thing is actually a bug related to servers, IDK how exactly it works but it can be abused if a survivor knows how...and they will be invincible)

When I'm playing killer and the survivors won't take other survivors off the hook. I need atleast 8 hooks a game. Letting people die on first hook or letting them go into 2nd stage because you want to urban evade all over the map doing nothing hurts both sides.
2 -
I have to play like a d!ck because how fast gens done early game. If only ruin stayed at least few minutes, i tried to play as nice as possible. Chased/Hooked everyone as much as possible so everyone could get their points and fun.
Now you have to be relentless or you are getting tbagged every game.
As survivor it's so chill. You don't have to be good. ez game ez life

As a survivor, Face Camping. Oh boy, I get to sit up here and mash a button until I'm finally out of this hell. Oh, and I don't get many points either because my game was cut short. And if I don't sit up here and button mash, my team doesn't have time to do gens.
As a killer, the beginning of the game. Finding your first survivor is sometimes a matter of luck. Not to mention if the survivor spawns near your Hex totem (if you have one) they can bust it really quick, thus killing any momentum you were hoping for.

Bugs and dedicated servers

I mostly play solo surv, so my random teammates are the cause for frustration most of the time. Winner: DCing 20 seconds into the game after they got downed for the first time.

Nothing in a game makes me mad anymore, lag, frame drops, keys, moris and grabs not existing anymore are annoying though.

The matchmaking times for survivor on PS4 are way too long from 6 PM and later. Also when super low rank survivors (like 17-20) get cocky and t-bag me the whole match when I'm playing killer and then I end up getting them. It makes me so angry. I'm also a low rank killer, but I feel that they don't have the right to be cocky if they're the same rank as me and I'm a pretty decent killer. Also, face camping and being the only one to do anything on the team and then not be saved.
Also, DCs from like all the teammates. Thank god for the DC penalty being re-enabled.

Well for killer it’s knowing the inevitable death that’s coming after being looped by a 4 man swf that I know and hate.
for survivor it’s making a loop mistake.

One of my teammates being a complete [donkey] to a Killer for no reason.

When I'm at a pallet, be it waiting, healing, or running, and I hit the button 3 or 4 times to throw it, but it doesnt go until or after I get hit, making the entire plan, ######### useless.

Laggy skill-checks

Gen speed man...I hate it when I start the game and two gen are yellow (discordance) after 5 secs, by the time you hook the first guy 3 gens pop.
And on the survivor side, finishing 5 gens and not know who the killer is lol.
1 -
Teammates that don't do Gens
0 -
People refusing to play the game.
A.k.a. killers that tunnel everyone to death on hook, even when they have an option.
And survivors who will loop/hide all game. (The 4 combined)
People... you get a lot less points this way, let's actually play the game and interact

Dumb survivors

Lot of things annoy me. Flashlight saves are right at the top of that list.
0 -
The thing that makes me madder than anything else is if I happen to be hooked and another survivor is being chased by the killer runs toward me. There is no better way to throw a game for the entire team than that.

Lately it has been window vaulting. Blame it on the dedicated servers, or the killers lunge or whatever... but 9/10, windows just seem to be a free hit anymore. Basically makes Lithe crap too.

As killer: "skilled" survivors being the definition of someone who can run in circles around a pallet and there is little to be done unless you run one or 2 specific killers. If killer and survivor are of equal skill, survivor will waste lots of time with little payoff for the killer. It is a horrible game design and now is so ingrained that nerfing it could have massive negative affect on the game. The answer is new game modes with all new mechanics.
As survivor: Hardcore camping or tunneling. Even if I'm not the victim of it, it is completely boring and destroys the spirit of the game. It is nothing but M1 simulation and exit. No rush of being chased, or concern that you have been hooked twice and do I risk going in for a rescue, or should I take a risk? No cat and mouse, just pure boredom. It is one of the 2 leading reasons I became a killer main. No matter how toxic a group can be, I can still influence my level of engagement and have some measure of enjoyment, no matter how minuscule. As a survivor watching others get tunneled right off of hook, or being downed before I can do anything, it is pure boredom with no influence on anything.
Oh, the other reason to become killer main was BP. There is absolutely no comparison between killer and survivor BP. Killer role wins this hands down.

Out of necessity, I hardly ever vault anymore. Window hits are so ridiculous. I can have both feet on the ground on the other side after a vault and be a full meter away from the original vault location and STILL get hit. Boy, that irks me. I don't care that Doc is 99 feet tall and carrying a baseball bat, he shouldn't hit me from six feet away on the other side of a vault.
Other than that, jerk teammates in solo queue agonize me. I had a Doc down me and leave me slugged super early in a Fractured Cowshed match (I got stuck running in a straight line). He left me there, assuming someone would heal me onto my feet, and chased my wife around.
Even though they could see the little obsession legs snapping around her pic on the HUD, neither teammate would come off their shared gen to tap me onto my feet. It wouldn't have taken either more than a total of ten seconds to run in, tap, then run back.
Doc came back after giving my wife a whack, saw I was still there, and let me onto my feet again because those two couldn't be bothered. He got 4K, but I was happy for a chance to earn some points before going. When the Killer's altruism score is higher than your rando teammates', it's frustrating.

Bodyblocking.
I hate it.
I mean, I play the most times fair. I use no op perks. I don't face camp. I play most times nice and still in very rar cases some survivors try to stay between me and a hook.
At this moment they turning to my nr.1 target for me and I stop playing nice.

When all 4 Survivors get slugged and the game is over, but the Killer decides to let everyone bleed out. Very fun :)

For sure cocky survivors who teabag and think they're so skilled and get downed as soon as they can't sprint burst/adrenaline away at the last second.

Infinites. God, do I hate infinites.

Gen speeds in combination with the amount of second chance options the survivors have. Its ######### ######### and the devs will never address it.
0 -
When as a surv two are dead and I'm being chased, knowing 100% that if I go down I'll be slugged for that 4k. Doesn't happen often enough to run Unbreakable but sucks when it happens, like a feeling of hopelessness & dead

When a killer and survivor are working together. Can't tell ya how many times playing solo survivor I get sabo-ed by a survivor bringing the killer to me on purpose, following me and blowing up generators on purpose, pointing at the locker I'm hiding in, ECT. Any action like that pisses me off to finish the match and not playing for a long long time. I can understand mistakes but when you go out of my way to troll me when I'm actually playing the game and contributing to the team then that's when you push my hot button.

Solo survivor here.
Every time it's almost the late game where there's only like one gen left and two of us. I'll distract the killer and start getting chased buying time for the other survivor to repair the last gen. I'll get downed and watch the other survivor either self care in some random corner or just urban evade around instead of repairing the last gen. It's the absolute worst. Sometimes people will be self caring in front of the last generator instead of finishing it when they have adrenaline!
Another one: i repair gens, heal team mates, save them from hooks, and I'll die on my first hook even if I have kindred on...

Telling my team I have borrowed time and head on and saving this constantly then watching them farm one another and blame me for leaving them to die. Also ######### Jane players. I have yet to come across a good one who didn't get downed in literally 20 seconds, farm the team, or get rewarded with escaping for hiding and doing nothing all game while the rest of team sweats their asses off then they have the nerve to talk ######### saying ggez. Like gurl shut cho lunch meat booty ass tf up.
