Why is killer frustrating for you?

Killer is an intense playing field and is often very stressful, what makes playing killer so unfun or stressful for some people. For me its those t baggers that run OoO or anything along the lines.

    Honestly it’s the feeling of hopelessness I get as legion. They’ve made some good buffs to him yes and changes to deep wounds to make it more threatening, I still wish he was more effective, especially since missing a hit cancels your power, but the biggest issue I have is how fast gens are done early game.


    I feel survivors get a free gen immediately, maybe they should have to cleanse a generator before they can use it? And after they cleanse the entity from it, the entity unlocks all gens simultaneously. Just something to buy a little extra time you know?


    I don’t run hexes so it will be tough. I wanna be able to use perks of my choice instead of a meta and be efficient you know? I’m not a bad killer by any means, I have been playing DBD for two years now, there’s just genuine situations where it’s unfair and those issues revolve around the beginning of the match for me.

    Tbh, nothing is worse than the fastest Gen-Rush.

    In the early game, you have 0 pressure. If everyone splits and do gens alone they can pop 2, or 3 gens by the time you hooked someone. That is even worse with low tier killers. The fact that you have 0 pressure? thats FINE. what's not fine is the fact that survivors spawns next to gens most of the time, and they instantly start working on it, the only counter to it is Corrupt Interention, which removes 1 perk from the killer after 120 seconds of the trial.

    I guess that some crutch perks are also not fun to verse, same goes with insta-downs and some killer perks.

    Regarding perks, the game is in a good place right now. But the early game needs something new to it.

    Last, but not least, playing killer is more stressful than survivors, because you rely only on yourself. Your mistakes will make you lose regardless of anything. No one will help you and you are facing a team of 4 who sometimes are coordinated to STOMP on you and there's nothing you can do whatsoever. (SWF)

    This can be easily portraited by the loooooooong queue times for survivors, and almost instant queue as killers. A lot of killers (also most of my main killer friends) has long quitted the game. This game needs a BIG overhaul in the matchmaking system, the MMR system, ranking system and pip/depip conditions.

    When I play survivor I really have fun, it's kinda easy, most of my games I escape, and despite some tunneling, camping and some OP builds, nothing else makes it unfun. But all it takes is a few killer matches and i'm saturated for the day in need of a break.


    Survivor gameplay requires little to no skill. If you know looping, and methods to stall the killer, that's great, the others just hold M1. Thats kinda it, you put some crutch perks AKA adrenaline, DS, DH, BT, unbreakable, and you're good to go. There's 5 types of items and most of the addons are useless.

    As a killer, you must always have intel about 4 people, know when to slug, when to hook, when to pop, how to counter every looping, you must be unpredictable, master your power (which goes from easy to INSANE difficulties ( Freddy / Nurse ), analyze your opponent's gamestyle (if he fake vaulting, double-backs, etc...) and still worry about a lot of survivor perks described above. The addons also play a big part in killer builds, they differ from killer to killer and alter them in many ways, Of course, a lot of the perks are also very popular, such as Barbecue and Chilli, Hex: Ruin, Hex: Noed, Corrupt Intervention, and a few others.


    And now i ask you, what would you rather do to have fun? Worry about 4 different people with different perks, working together against you, or work with 4 people against 1 killer?

    I love being a killer, and i WILL continue being one without whining about it in the after match, but i know it's easier and way more fun being a survivor, and i often play as surv to relieve my killer stress.


    If you made it this far, thanks for the consideration. <3

    It is the fact that there are some games where nothing you do will stop the enemy team in any way. Especially when your fighting with the game itself sometimes and especially with poor design.

    The general attitude of the devs toward killer & console problems really doesnt give me hope, either, as their actions just seem like a big middle finger to those groups... which I fall into both.

    I want to love this game. It has the foundations for a great idea, it just is wasted in so many ways. The Blight is probably the best example of this. They hyped him up for 2 years, and he is a very important person lore wise. But instead of utilizing the serums and his alchemy knowledge for his killer power, he is relegated to a pinball machine. And the design of a hex perk with a cooldown just shows how unwilling they are to give something strong to killers. Granted, survivors received some mediocre perks this round, but a lot of the perks are just bad (except for Hex: Undying).

    I've played him a bit now and he has no maneuverability, especially when it comes to looping and once survivors get to know his play style and weaknesses him getting kills will be very difficult. So far I think he really needs a buff to be viable. I was really hoping for a bit of thought put into him and maybe a unique, fun, power but then I get a pinball machine who may as well be a watered down version of legion. Disappointed doesn't begin to cover how I feel about him.
