Just remember dbd is survivor sided.
Look I'm not here to complain, I just want to know how this hits and why the devs wont fix it already. You're gonna tell me the game is survivor sided but you can abuse this? Inb4 all the "its your wifi" look at the top left there was no wifi circle.
I just tried to come back to playing survivor and this bot freddy outplays me I guess. I still escape which was nice but they need to focus on punishing killers who have bad connection.
Edit: the bad servers arent a big reason its not survivor sided, it's more of an icing on the cake of already having the population of survivors be very bad. When I say this I'm just saying in public matches losing as killer is very hard if you are good. Yet people still complain about pub survivors using DS and UB like it's the end of the world.

Yep that's Freddy.

It's a feature not a bug lol.
2 -
Relax. Freddy has long arms.

Yeah,hit validation just doesn't seem to work at all.
It still favours the killer no matter what your ping is
11 -
Damn it ,i wanted to post that picture >:(
2 -
I know I just think it's funny tho people think pub games are survivor sided.
3 -
No I will definetly assume the killer had had connection especially when hes swinging and hitting air at the start. Pub games are more killer favored. Only comp is survivor sided. Also huntress gets bad hits anyways one uhit taken away isnt gonna stop the million undeserving ones shes given lol.
4 -
Most generic small pp meta build and you’re still crying. I swear survivor mains need to play killer for a week to learn.
23 -
Yep, this is what happened all the time before dedicated servers which was expected to improve this.
As we can see - it did not.
5 -
Can we not chalk this up to "######### happens"? I'm an entry level, and I mean very basic entry level coding/IT student and even machines make mistakes. Not to say that things like this aren't frustrating, I can certainly empathize there. Sometimes your perception and the server's don't sync up, and yeah that sucks.
0 -
You waited way too long, if you the killer gets into the doorway, and you aren't already vaulting over, you are gonna get hit.
3 -
Im not invalidating your example. Don't get me wrong your hit shouldnt be taken away. I've even seen hits exactly hoe you described. Thst being said 2-3 missed hits isnt stopping huntress hitboxes you're gonna get 8 more bs hits I can't really sympathize with you.
The freddy was most likely a bot ps4 player so I can understand why he was so behind the server his bad internet. It's kind funny to ngl.
1 -
Ok so number 1. I dont play heather shown by my level 1 and 2 perks so that build is all I had. Number 2 you're so bias that you can't even objectively watch the clip and say "yeah that didn't hit". Finally I main killer the consistency of hits like these is what encouraged my switch.
4 -
You know, the amount of times you come in to these forums and post clips (I checked your post history for the lulz)...this almost seems like advertising masked as complaining.
15 -
Yeah no ######### doesnt just happen. This ######### never happened in 2017 he devs just do not care about fixing it. @MandyTalk more proof of hit validation come look.
Also watch this the game right after :)
Tell me this hits, its comical at this point. But uhh survivor sided game, just vpn lol.
2 -
You clearly do not know how to run shack. Its called shift tech. If you are patient and the killer has good ping you dont get hit. I was through the window as well so dont justify this bs.
3 -
I mean console players in general arent very good so I guess thats what I mean. Dont get me wrong pc players are bad too but console players astound me.
1 -
I'll have to take you word on it. I didn't jump into DbD until fall of '19, though I did jump in headlong. So personally, I can't attest to how things were before, but I can emphasize having been on both sides of this or similar scenarios. It does indeed suck.
1 -
Things before were p2p so killer had constant 0 ping. This was because they hosted the lobby. You cod see if they had terrible ping and could see theirs. However they changed that and havent fixed vaults kr any types of hits since then.
1 -
Interesting. Also, I meant to put "empathize." Did not double check my text.

Reasons this happened:
- Freddy's lunge animation is not accurate to his actual hitbox, so his lunge is extended farther than it looks, but it's still a normal 115% lunge
- Latency. You two are 100% in completely different parts of the world, so latency is gonna be a massive issue
- Dedicated Servers just ######### suck
- You're on console, and from what I know about DBD on console, framerate and latency are MASSIVE issues compared to PC
14 -
- All I know is that most freddy's have the worst ping.
- Well yeah thats why I play killer more.
- They favor killer hard
- Im building my pc extremely soon.
3 -
- Coincidence.
- Killer FTW. Big brain.
- Factually untrue. They favor whoever is closer to the server that's being used to host the match. That's how dedicated servers work.
- Yay.
5 -
I want to say that hit was bullshit but then I see Sprint Burst DS UB Soul Guard and I can only smile.
10 -
Can we all just take a second to laugh at Azame calling himself a killer main? And calling PC killers lag switchers when he plays on a first gen toaster oven? Lol
15 -
1) Show us killer's ping. Easy.
2) Hide survivors names and profiles
3) Hit validation doesn't work. I believe it's not there anyways, never existed.
I have 40-45 ping. Can't believe that all killers have better internet than me. Impossible. They created the illusion called "hit validation".
3 -
- Yeah it is technically coincidence, but coincidently most freddies I verse tend to have weaker than average connection.
- Killer main gang lol
- The devs came out and said the hits are handled on the killers screen meaning no matter where you are if the killer hits you it connects. Hit validation was supposed to correct this and cancel bad hits but we see how that happened.
- I'm just waiting for my 1650 to arrive at my house and I am golden.
2 -
Do you want me to use bad perks? My heather is level 42 I had nothing else.
2 -
I do main killer tho lol just because I defend survivors doesn't make me a survivor main. I guess @GoodBoyKaru mains survivor. I never said they lag switch but the clip suggests he had high ping. I also am switching to pc my 1650 gpu has to arrive at my house. By the way you talk you seem to be an elitist of some sort. I still think I can do better at killer than you despite being limited by bad console preformance.
2 -
The devs did say that, and then they released hit validation, as you also said. It's entirely dependant on connection now.
0 -
- This is a very simple solution I can dodge all bad ping killers. The devs know this though so I am guessing they don't want bad ping killers to be excluded.
- This could work for killers who mori specific survivors.
- It doesn't the devs could care less about fixing hits for survivors lol. A mod I will not name tried to justify a hit and say the killer had better connection. They know who they are :)
1 -
It still handles on the killers screen..... except the server is supposed to check it, but it does not and there are multiple clips showcasing that mine included.
2 -
Oh give it a rest. If it was all about what the killer saw, you'd never see cucked grabs on the killer side. It's not a survivor specific issue.
8 -
Hey remember that time you said you were quitting the forums? Made a whole post and everything lol I just can't believe a word from you
8 -
I said I was taking a break. I mean but uhh lie more I suppose? You are being very passive aggressive if that's even the right way to describe the tone. I can't think of the proper one but you definitely don't like me for whatever reason.
3 -
- This is correlation, not causation. Even people who have god tier computers and really good internet give hits like that occasionally.
- Again, correlation, not causation.
- False. You ever try to grab someone as Killer? It's 100% impossible. You ever try to hit someone who has Dead Hard? it's really a 50/50.
- Hell yeah dude. I wish you luck on that <3
2 -
Imagine making this whole post and calling yourself a killer main. Also there it is, you said you were leaving but now it's taking a break. Didn't matter either way cause here you are a couple weeks later lol
I just don't like liars and completely disagree with your opinions is all
9 -
1. Occasionally not all the time. If I got bad hits occasionally I wouldnt be making this post lol.
2. I play killer because it happens too often once again.
3. Uh no that's not hie that works. Grabs were coded for p2p and those and deadhard are being recoded to work for dedicated servers. They still favor killer hard just vpn and enjoy an easy win and easy hits.
4. Yeah its pretty lit gonna be a sweat killer on PC especially blight.
1 -
I'll actually give you that but in my defense I never said I was quitting on the forums did I? I can always leave and come back. I am a killer main that is no lie. Ok you don't like liars I haven't even lied. I did leave but now I'm back.
You disagree with my opinions becuase I'm not a die hard killer main who thinks I'm the oppressed and the survivors are the oppressors.
It's sad man you have to stop. Also you are taking this personally for aero reason despite the fact I dont know you, nor do I care about how you think of me, this is the dbd forums, the game itself isnt even all that great.
2 -
Yeah I'm pretty sure you did.. Your post implies you said you were at one point, then came back, then you said you were leaving again.. but ok. Sure bud.
Right, you're a die hard survivor main and there's nothing wrong with that but you like to pretend to be a killer and give insane examples to try and get a point across. "I play red rank 1 Blight with 0 perks and always 4K, killers are so strong, need nerf" That's an example. I mean, just.. No you don't.
It's not sad it's funny to me, I'm on forums and not the one who said I was leaving remember? So I see this post, happens to be from you and now here we are lol
6 -
Yeah I was in the middle of my break and I came back to vent, I was frustrated. There is nothing wrong with that. I left again took my break and now I'm here, so what are you getting at?
At heart I am a survivor main I'll admit. But in reality I can't stomach much survivor. The role has gotten stale. I said I was 4king ay rank 1 with corrupt and that's the truth. Honestly if you think I'm not good at killer do you want to see my video versing angrypug?
I also want to point out I havent even reached my peak yet because I'm on console and now I'm switching to pc where my potential is going to show. Also dont deliberately tell lies.
I never suggested killers needed I nerf my main points were killer is easy in pubs. Comp is a different story because that's where the game is genuinely hard for killer. I dont think the role in general needs nerfs. Maybe a select few but once again never mentioned in my post. I just said killer was easy.
It's sad that you seem to care so much about a person you dont know and try to what be on a moral high ground? Which is fine but dont try and tell lies. One last thing I am running alot more ruin undying and comp builds to work on my killer. I genuinely want to improve and be better at the role. Whether you like it or not I main killer.

Oh nothing, welcome back is all :)

Had nothing to do which side.
I've been playing killer against survivors for a certain region which are known for terrible connection.
I could literally hug them and the hit didn't count.
When i looked at their connection I understood the problem.
While I had a ping of around 30, lowest ping on their end was high 200.
Even 1 of them went up to almost 800.
So it isn't killer sided/favoured, it is hit validation not working as they said it was.
The same old problem still exists, before hit validation, if you had a bad connection no matter what side you're on, you had a advantage.
Now with the hit validation it should be taken care of this problem, yet the same issue remains, bad connection is giving you advantage.
Sure there will always be latency issues, but i don't agree that the person with a good connection should be punished instead of the terrible connection.
1 -
I am still amazed that this things happen to you so regular, while a lot of player have that problem only rarly, all while you have the best internet connection there is.
5 -
I don't think DBD is survivor sided, as a killer main speaking. The thing is there's the perks and tools survivor's just use to annoy you as a killer which can be very punishing in chase's.Then you have people who solely play a killer upon release in the most toxic fashion which is good in away because we find out what's broken.Then after the killer has been nerfed the survivor's exploit those changes in their favor.
Okay example Pyramid Head now with the change of his ability to "zone for free" survivor's can now when, I go into Roj jump across the pallet jump back across run directly pass me and gain at least 6 feet on you.Thats 17 seconds of the killer time wasted when, I could have just down or at least injured him by now.
If something's need to be fixed then fix it, but sometimes they need to realize some changes aren't helping anyone.How does one improve their skills if their not even willing to adapt.These people are legitimately thinking of their selves if they think they deserve free escape's off of getting a certain mechanic change so they can stand a better chance.
I've never seen a killer changed to a weaker version upon release pussy ass #########

Aim Dressing decided to hit the tree instead of the survivor. So the game is clearly survivor sided. /s
If you would write something without showing your clear bias, people would take you more seriously.
3 -
It never was and is not survivor sided in any way. What it is, it's unbalanced for every side.
0 -
Than you haven't been here since the start.
Infinites, always fast vaults, tons of pallets, instant flashlights, BNP for a gen in a few sec, insta heals.
But yeah kept telling yourself It was never survivor sided 😂😂
5 -
This, actually. They've done a lot of work to improve killers' playability. I wasn't around back in those dark days, but one of my friends was. He used to be able to go through an entire map with Jake Park and take down every hook.

Oh nah you've seen these forums I am indeed a toxic entitled biased survivor main 😔💅
