Killer Mains Must be Loving the New Update
Comments
-
The game is as terrible for killers as it is for survivors. The bugs affect everyone, not only survivors. Oh and Undying was nerfed. So matches take (as predicted) less than 5 minutes.

My current evening queues last like day queues before update. It's about 5 minutes. I should try killer queues right now to make sure it gone worse.

I love the survivors “game is so killer sided now have mercy!” Lol tf outta here with your flash lighting/tbagging/god pallet looping booty.

Can I just say that I absolutely love your name?

as a whole? yes, the new game map? no.

I don’t tbag or anything just to be toxic. And I can’t work a flashlight to save my life.

Its actually easier now with ruin/undying gutted. Killers are now running things like corrupt and pop with is easier to rush gens with. Maps like the game is loaded with a disgusting amount of safe pallets. Usually low rank survivors are pretty easy to win against. Its the high ranked sweaty survivors you have to watch out for. I'm assuming you're getting matched with low ranks or a low ranked killer since you play mostly survivor. As for the hits everyone is talking about I haven't really seen it. I play both sides.

Allright, I probably exaggerate. It's now daytime and killer queue takes 6-7 minutes. I was expecting 10-15 minutes. And survivors queues is less than 10 seconds now.

From the Killers PoV the hits look completely fine, not from Survivors tho, probably some desync issue.

No, this has actually been the most miserable experience I've had in any video game in a really really long time. My internet isn't that great, it'd hurt me quite a bit before the patch.
Chase someone, down then, oh wait NVM packet loss. The game THIS patch however has been absolutely awful, I literally cannot hit people since I'm rubber banding to places I was ten seconds ago, im getting stuck in the walls and the ground, I get stuck in the grabbing animation for a good 30 seconds, I smack someone... or not... I can't vault, kick gens, and plenty other lag related shinanigans.
I have literally never gotten mad at a game before to this extent. Like I've gotten annoyed, but I legit want to break something, last match in particular.

This patch changed absolutely nothing about the insane power SWF/premade-squads have. They still rush gens like they're nothing while killers struggle to keep up. As long as this issue remains unaddressed the game will never be truly balanced.

I only hope that after the hitboxes are fixed the killers will keep swinging crazy early like they do now and we'll se a ton of missed hits :D

I would say keep stats of your game, to get a view over your own and your teams performance.
I havn´t started my stats yet, because they always drop after rank reset anyway. Once i hit red rank, i will keep stats of my games again

Played Nurse yesterday and all bugs were present, Blight is still horrible on console and Undying got nerfed etc. People will be angry about not being able to abuse DS for much longer, that is all.
I'm not killer main though only play 50-50 while Tome is up otherwise almost only survivor.

Thank you, I love yours too

killer gameplay feels mostly normal, so meh. Annoying hits on survivor are annoying but I've escaped most games since the new patch.
I'm not sure why you're telling off killers as if they were responsible for this patch instead of bhvr's incompetence.

Unfortunately for me I'm lagging like crazy and landing hits that for some reason didn't register. Yeah and getting hit a map away as survivor this update sucks.
0 -
Hell no. This is one of the worst updates they've ever done.
1 -
Not really, im just waiting for the update fix. Also in the killers pov nothing changed, and the survivors that know how to predict still do fairly good. But of course that doesn't change the fact that the hitboxes from the survivor pov are broken and unplayable. So im just hoping the update comes soon, and in a decent state.

I hate it.
The UI is still horrible and windows and pallet hits are pretty weird.Got quite a few hits stolen even though they should have hit.
1 -
i'm a survivor main but the killer challenges i've completed haven't been fun, hits not registering, general strangeness, the awful UI. especially with the event going on being connected to finishing gens + the new year toolbox, survivors are incentivized to rush to get maximum points and doubly to avoid getting smacked a mile off. additionally like others have said, survivors seeing ridiculous hits on their screen isn't really a thing on the killer's screen. it's not a telekinesis update, everyone's suffering.

There is literally no way you actually think that killers have a worse update than survivors this patch LOL
Most of the survivors I know are either completely quitting until this patch gets fixed or switching over to playing mostly killer (I have picked the latter) over how bad it is
Have you even played survivor this patch? You cannot accurately judge where the killer actually is in relation to you because of desync. When I play killer it looks completely normal to me, but as survivor? I'm getting hit from much further away than I should be, around corners, through pallets, etc. Chases are AWFUL because of this. To most killers it probably feels like you just caught the survivor lacking, because what is shown on your screen is what you get, but on the survivor side, they saw that they had more distance, made that vault, pallet drop, etc., and should have been safe to not get hit. It isn't that killers are getting "unfair" hits, more that survivors are basically giving them hits they might otherwise not get due to the fact that, again, they cannot accurately judge where the killer's true position is according to the server, because it's not lined up the same on their screen.
Anyways, I have a clip of a TTV streamer who downed my boyfriend sabotaging a hook. On TTV's screen, it shows my BF still right in front of him when he swings a second time at him. On my boyfriend's clip that he took from his own gameplay POV, he was already running away BEHIND the killer when he got downed. I should post it some time so that people who really don't get what's going on can see an example for themselves.

The issue DEFINITELY gives killer an advantage. If you can't accurately judge where a killer actually is, you can't judge whether you need to throw a pallet, make a vault, dead hard, start running sooner, etc.
It's not hitboxes, it is desync or whatever- just classic server stuff but for some reason it's not showing survivors where killers actually are. This matters because, like I said, survivors cannot accurately plan for a chase. If they've got a safe/god pallet they can pre drop, they might be fine, but a large number of chases involve relatively unsafe loops that require accuracy on timing and mindgames. It's GREAT for killer because it means survivors can't really milk a chase anymore- I myself pre drop most pallets after a single run through them because I've already got pallet vacuum PTSD LMAOOOOO

Reading the forums i fell like i'm not playing the same patch as everyone..
Killer looks exactly the same hitbox wise and is much better to play. Survs movements are a bit ugly but also much smoother.. like it should've been from the start.
As survivor I feel the hitboxes are exactly the same, if anything, they're just a bit more oriented to the surv's butt instead of the back.. something like that. I just keep that in mind and everything is okay. I'm not getting hit from gazilion miles away like everyone and I didn't have to change my gameplay at all. 70% of my games after update were surv games and the only time i got bs hit... I pressed esc the guys was on 150 ms.. so no surprise there.
Pallet vaccuming the killer is making me mad tho.. if they have enduring you just get hit..
Performance got better too.. for the first time i can play rock solid 75 fps with 100% res bar.
South america if that matters.

People log in so they can play the game. If you're expected to purposefully play bad to make things even...thats not fun. The game being riddled with bugs is never a fun thing. Even if its not affecting the killer directly, indirectly affecting them by crippling their opponents still sucks. Please get rid of this "Survivors hate it so killers must love it" mindset.
1 -
Killers do seem WAY more toxic than normal. I'm constantly getting smacked on hook, nodded at, etc. It really is disgusting.
1 -
Here's the weird part. When I play killer (mostly doctor), when I go to hit, it completely misses even though it should have been a guaranteed hit. When I shock (which ever one is the bigger shock), it doesn't even reach people who are super close. Also I saw I gained 2 pips and then I checked my rank after that match and I lost 2 pips. I ain't liking this update
0 -
Have you had killers bringing enduring for the sole of purpose of countering the pallet vacuum? They expect it and immediately turn around to get the grab. Cuz I have. :) Its been fun. This is what breeds toxic survivors.
2 -
Rage post aside, why don't you play killer then?
Yeah thought so. Ask me and I'll have the same reply no one wants to play that ######### longer than a match or two. Also please tell me you're a pc player because ive been playing nothing but survivor and the hitboxes are bullshit....like usual. But ive seen many PC players phase through hits that i would have got hit by on the otherside of a pallet and around a corner
0 -
Thank you. This delusion is nuts, there are SEVERAL bee fatshames in the game right now, but I guess killer is easy mode now that Survivors can 360 like they used too.

Don't even go there, nurse is still bugged to this day. it's pointlessbto bring up

It's a bad patch for both sides.
No reason to Fall into the circle jerk of Killer bad/ Survivor good and vic versa.
3 -
Killers been loving the updates for a LONG time. Hitboxes was already killer sided they made them even moreso.
1 -
Show me killer-side footage of hits from 6m out. It doesn't exist, because killers are seeing the same issues. I literally walked up to a pile of survivors healing and swung yesterday and had it miss!
The patch is broken for everyone. Full stop.

So it's not just me then. I thought I was imagining things

Too late lol

I can do about the same but I have to play more immersed, which means that possibly other people die a lot more.
...sucks.

All im saying Is they made the killers over powered and they camp all day smh
0 -
I keep getting disconnected almost everytime i play they suspended for no reason its so frustrating smh
0 -
Feels no different on either side. I play mostly survivor too. People just need to get gud or get a box of tissues.
0 -
considering they're consistently getting survivors about 10 ranks below them? yeah they've probably never had it easier.
0 -
It is a really weird experience for me.
When I play survivor I get hit meters away from the killer and when I play killer it sometimes feels like my lunge is non existent.
I am normally a pretty good nurse player but after the update my blinks have lost their on point precision.
I don't think the new hitboxes are only a problem for survivors.
0 -
Actually just like to say on the Switch version that I play on hitboxes are actually fine, and I feel might have improved a bit. Maybe he’s playing on the Switch.
Edit: just read my own post and thought I should clarify, on the Switch version hitboxes are as per normal, maybe slightly better sometimes. They’re not always fine, just like before the update.

Plague mains:

I started to get more and more of tho rubber banding and stuck to wall things too...
0 -
As a mostly killer main, I'll be the first to admit I'm getting several hits that I absolutely don't deserve. Hit while being pallet stunned is happening more than it ever has as well as window vault hits well after after survior completes the animation and is away from the window.
Theres also downsides for killer though. I've noticed my lunges are being pulled into objects and walls way more often since the update which often cause the chase to be extended.

I wasn’t telling off killers. Not their fault. Just being a bit snarky is all
0 -
I wasn’t really blaming killers per say. Just being a bit salty and snarky. It was more directed to the devs than anything.
0 -
I play killer sometimes but not as much as survivor. I like both honestly. But I’m not the best at killer and I’m a console player. So anytime I get a bunch of PC players in the game I know I’m going to get wrecked and tbagged on. I have a rule where I only accept two cross play players per match because I can’t handle anymore than that. Plus I’ve noticed if one PC player starts to be toxic the rest start mimicking them.
0 -
The lag is certainly not a fun experience. The new postures make it harder to predict what survivors will do, too, so once they fix that, it'll be more or less equal.
