Sometimes playing killer is frustrating.
I have 4,600 hours in this damn game. Not too much by some standards, a lot by others.
Sometimes you get a group of survivors that like to teabag and click flashlights, and do all sorts of things that amount to being extremely annoying.
But I'll say, which my thousands of hours, spent playing every killer, every survivor, every perk in the game on every map with every combination of items and situations...
No survivor has ever made me have as bad of a time as some killers seem determined to do. I honestly cannot understand why so many people feel like they are genuinely bullied because they get blinded or someone teabags after a pallet stun. These are always just annoyances to me, ones that make downing that survivor feel even better when the moment comes, because if you are determined, you will down them.
I have never had a survivor put me on the floor and bleed me out for four straight minutes because I hooked another survivor. It's simply impossible, survivors don't have anything more than the ability to be annoying.
But damn if I didn't just get bled out 3 games in a row for getting flashlight saves. I've been blinded as a killer, sometimes even seemingly through walls, but I've never felt the need to down someone and just waste 4 minutes of my time to prove some kind of point. I simply do not enjoy doing something that is intentionally making sure someone is miserable, that's sociopathic stuff.
Sometimes I wish I could force a killer to sit there in timeout for 4 minutes until their game forcibly ended or make them DC. Seems like it might be fair, something to actually live up to the bullying everyone seems to think exists.
I've never felt the need to do that in my thousands of hours as killer, maybe except when the 'hook tech' exploit was in the game for a while, but honestly an exploit that forces you to camp someone out is in your own hands.
I've just never, ever had a game as killer feel so bad that it makes me stop playing, when it seems to exist in abundance when playing survivor. Especially when for 3 games in a row you wait 10 minutes for a game to get bled out on the floor for... using an item?

Well, I'm glad you haven't had that experience.
I've had three games in the past week that have me borderline quitting.

I'm so sorry to hear that you had a really bad run of rounds! That is definitely frustrating!
I do just want to point out one possibility though - could the Killer have been gnome farming? As the gnome only appears in the end game breakdown it seems to have spiked the number of Killers who leave you slugged and kick the hatch. Obviously some Killers do this to be malicious, they always have and always will, but in my experience as a Survivor it's _by far_ the minority.

I have 4,600 hours in this damn game. Not too much by some standards, a lot by others.I don't care if you have 10,000 hours it is totally irrelevant, and is annoying you think that that means anything so much as to bring it up.
Sometimes you get a group of survivors that like to teabag and click flashlights, and do all sorts of things that amount to being extremely annoying.Yup, that is what happens when the power curve is survivor sided and you are anywhere on anything that is connected online and allows you to interact with other people in any meaningful capacity.
But I'll say, which my thousands of hours, spent playing every killer, every survivor, every perk in the game on every map with every combination of items and situations...Still couldn't care less, I don't know why you keep stroking yourself.
No survivor has ever made me have as bad of a time as some killers seem determined to do. I honestly cannot understand why so many people feel like they are genuinely bullied because they get blinded or someone teabags after a pallet stun. These are always just annoyances to me, ones that make downing that survivor feel even better when the moment comes, because if you are determined, you will down them.What the hell is this thread even about, this would be the reverse of the topic you decided to title it. In any case, the game is survivor sided, so if you haven't played a survivor game that made you want to ######### and have played a game vs killers that made you, then you are either lying, you rarely ever play killer, or you are insanely lucky.
If the survivors are that much better then you, they can farm you vs your will because they control the game and you don't unless you are something insane like a god nurse.
I have never had a survivor put me on the floor and bleed me out for four straight minutes because I hooked another survivor. It's simply impossible, survivors don't have anything more than the ability to be annoying.Right, instead you can have survivors hold the game hostage for half a hour or longer if they want since you decided to play X killer for the first time and are just starting the game, constantly teabagging and flashing you with your only hope to dc or hope they finish gens already. You know, annoying for tens of minutes to the entire game or however long they want the game to last.
But damn if I didn't just get bled out 3 games in a row for getting flashlight saves. I've been blinded as a killer, sometimes even seemingly through walls, but I've never felt the need to down someone and just waste 4 minutes of my time to prove some kind of point. I simply do not enjoy doing something that is intentionally making sure someone is miserable, that's sociopathic stuff.Cool, couldn't care less.
Sometimes I wish I could force a killer to sit there in timeout for 4 minutes until their game forcibly ended or make them DC. Seems like it might be fair, something to actually live up to the bullying everyone seems to think exists.This is ironically sociopathic, forcing someone to be in time out? How is that any better then what you just said. At least slugging someone most likely has justification, if it doesn't you should be blaming your teammates for leaving you on the floor.
I've never felt the need to do that in my thousands of hours as killer, maybe except when the 'hook tech' exploit was in the game for a while, but honestly an exploit that forces you to camp someone out is in your own hands.Damn, you really like to stroke your fire man, still the amount of hours you have is irrelevant. Considering you are implicating a clear point, at this point it is just a argument from authority and anecdotal fallacies.
I've just never, ever had a game as killer feel so bad that it makes me stop playing, when it seems to exist in abundance when playing survivor. Especially when for 3 games in a row you wait 10 minutes for a game to get bled out on the floor for... using an item?Nice bias, it happens on both sides. I would argue more for Survivors specifically because they are more powerful then most killers, however regardless it only takes one side having a higher skill ceiling that the other side can not compete with to bully.
Again, if you have to wait 3 years and then bleed out, blame your teammates not the killer. The killer just downed you, your teammates saw you through a wall and stared at you while your other teammate was in chase.

I have had the opposite experience so far. As a killer, I am insulted in the final chat, regardless of whether I have killed none or all. As a survivor, this has not happened to me yet. I don't really care, I like it when they give me their salt.
I have also been slugged for several minutes. Yes, my God, then it just happens. But it happens only in very few cases. I do not get upset about it.
There are certainly killers who take the game a little too seriously, but in my experience, the majority of these players are those who play survs.

I'm not reading all that, sorry you've had similar experiences or disagree, cool if you agree.
If it were gnome farming, I'd definitely have understood. This was 3 games, in a row, of slugging me at 4-5 gens left, and then camping my slug. If teammates try to pick me up, they down them and keep watching my body, if I did get picked up, I don't use exhaustion perks so making it to an area where I could keep running was difficult. 3 games in a row, the first 2 for flashlight saves, the last for a pallet save.
I don't like using exhaustion perks, and I don't like running UB/SG because games like this only happen a few times a week, and oftentimes strategic slugging is a necessary tactic to win, so I don't want to just deny a win with unbreakable, it doesn't feel right when it happens to me. I only try to play in ways that I wouldn't have a problem facing when I'm playing the opposing role.
And it might be a valid tactic to kill someone out of the game in a rather unpleasant fashion, but my point still stands that there is absolutely nothing a survivor can do that equates to how that feels. Survivors simply don't have that power and cannot make games feel that bad.

You have 4600 hours and 4 minutes of bleeding out cause your teammates wont pick you up is too much?

Wow 4 whole minutes, damn your time must be very important good sir.🙄

The only time I get pretty frustrated as killer is when doing Adepts or challenges.

I had a game when survivors didn't do gens and just blinded me after each down. Fun. Luckily I managed to slug them.
I get regular insults in chat as killer. People call me names and wish me things. For some reason that never comes from killers when I play survivor, sometimes they complain, but that's not even close. And that happens even if I try to play nice - I had games when I went AFK after two DC's in survivor team and they still roasted me, and a person insulting me after I gave them hatch. Last time I gave hatch to anyone.
Each time I am trying new killer I get the entire shitstorm - clicky-clicky-clicky, teabags at every pallet, gg ez in the endgame chat.
I guess you are extremely lucky if you don't get stressed as killer, but that's not the experience I have.

Message read loud and clear, will now be sure to provide four minutes of well needed self-reflection on why people would like to play the games they've queued up for.

Get over it no ones that special that they can't wait 4 mins. I've been playing four years and this hardly ever happens so I'm not going to think I'm so overly important that my time is more valuable than anyone else's.

I'm not reading all that
I find it hilarious that you posted on a forum, obviously seeking responses, just to blow someone off because their reply was more than 2 sentences.

it's just that if you are a yellow rank and then you go to green rank, they go to a gen and then they are like a moths tied to a lightbulb which makes me dissapointed.

I think there is indeed a problem with some parts of the community.
Yes i am a fairly new player with less then 100 hours playtime but i had some really awful experiences playing as a killer.
When people notice that you are new at the game and havent mastered the killer you play they will mock you with any tool at their disposal.
Spamming flashlights (not to blind), pointing at you, tbagging all the time. They let you know that you are being toyed with.
Just recently i had a round with toxic people like that. Somehow managed to down them all and let them bleed out.
It takes a while but the objective is not to let them escape.
Its only fair when you are being treated with such contempt.

"Survivors simply don't have that power and cannot make games feel that bad".
I disagree. I have been slugged and left in the dirt for 4 minutes multiple times. Just recently had a Huntress do it not because I had a flashlight, key, t-bagged, or perks she just wanted to do it. She left all 4 of us there throwing hatchets at us. Now on the flip side most things survivors do don't bother me assuming I am using my mains but when I decided to learn nurse on console the way survivors were shocked the hell out of me. It changed the way I played for quite some time. I was slaughtering everything in sight anyway I could tunneling, slugging, camping, slamming hatch in your face, smacking on hook, t-bagging you when downed with ghosty I mean anything I could do to be toxic. I just got to the point where I'm giving hatch to some people again so ya I guess my heart is healing.

Hag traps the hook so she can camp from a distance, but the survivors still unhook and got away? Poor killer... must be frustrating
Spirit walks away from the hook so she can reserve her power for warping back to it, but the survivors still got away? Poor killer...
I have no sympathy for such killers

Thats likely because he realized I made valid points and instead of saying "Oh well that is a good point", he would rather just pretend he didn't read it.
I think this is more likely considering it doesn't make sense to reply to something if you aren't going to read it unless you are in a conversation thats been on-going. This is all of course just professed, but I would bet money on it that it is correct.

Whom are you saying this too? If me, can you site exactly made you reply to me with this reply?

Don't run Noed you're trash if you do mean while
I'll run BT,DH,Adrenaline and WGLF just to soak as many blood points as possible we we the little piggy goes all the way to the bank
I don't know it feels more personal for my toxic players ,they have to win or they'll be obliterated into a million pixels if they don't.
It's because objectly there also establishing dominance over you ,poking fun at you're manhood, women hood,or lively hood,and I'm sure that's what others feel if ,I'm feeling that I'm sure other do to.Those matches just show how powerless you are,but that's probably how others feel when you play against casual players, so at the end of the day it's just blood being paid back with blood,that's why I play survivor so,I can pay back the blood
I'm probably an ######### sometimes so I don't mind if a killer will camp or tunnel me,I mind but I understand why it's happening
I might drop a complaint but mainly just to vent most of the time that's what my complaints are just me venting really.
I don't want anything changed even the power PH has it's great, I just need to vent sometimes when I have really ######### matches.

But Pyramid Head add-ons could slightly be betttter 🤷♂️ I guess

Adrenaline is survivor's version of NOED. Both perks are fine and you have a right to use it. But if you despise noed, running adrenaline is kinda hypocrite in that case.
2 -
Thin is NOED is just making the Killer feel a bit better about himself while also kinda keeps him from improving. After this rank reset bug I've noticed (got booted to survivor rank 18 for whatever reason) that almost every single killer in green ranks is running NOED. Had a ghost face, a Myers and even a Bubba run NOED because they legitimately were not able to get a single kill before the EGC.
So those players pretty much rely on NOED to get a single kill at EGC because every body else just exits, leaving the hooked guy to die.
While it's an annoyance for the hooked survivor it hinders those green rank killers from improving imo because it gives them a false feeling of partial success.

Ehm am I going crazy here? The title of the threads contains frustration AS the killer while the post is about survivor being the more frustrating role due to bleed out slugging? Then follows a more or less useful discussion about both sides being stressful depending on if the commentator only read the title or the whole post, a dev reminds everyone to stay civil just for the sake of it without anything insulting or aggressive until that point and lastly on the second comment page it suddenly noed is focus of the comments as if those were from a completely different thread? Am I missing some connections here or is this whole thread kind of strange?

You have the right to use the perks you're able to get the most value out of,and you shouldn't be criticized even if the opposition runs the perks suited to there playstyle even if it gives you an advantage because that's what they're for.
I'm not so sure about that ,with high levels of how fast Red Ranks games go most of the time you'll end up getting 2ks which is either Entity displeased or Brutal Killer so obviously, as killer you governed into having a 3k match or 4k ,but like ,I said at high ranks you want be getting 4ks are 3ks if you're facing really strong teams this the way the emblem system is set up as killer you have to kill by any means necessary to make the match results
Far as survivors really all you have to do is escape chases get saved do gens ,even if you don't win the match you can easily to earn pips if you don't as killer you lose pips
I'm sorry you feel like that ,I was saying where the frustration comes from and sharing what happens about the behavior of my particular frustration ,and what I do .

Reading some of the replies to this thread just illustrates the problem in the DBD community. FFS, obviously OP felt incredibly frustrated tonight playing the game because Killers were acting like jackasses. Anyone who has played Solo survivor has felt this, and the responses here just dripping with aggression/vitriol are ridiculously unnecessary.
Personally I've had a shite time too this evening playing Killer, to the point that I gave up after 3 matches and walked away (I'm trying to learn how to get better at Killer but I'm constantly matched with red rank SWF flashlight squads when I'm only Rank 13. I just gave up on being matched fairly for today). It happens to all of us regardless of which side we favour. This game can be irritating as hell, and there are d*ckhead players both Killer and survivor alike.
I'm sorry you had such a crap time of it today OP. I've had days where a Killer decides to carry me around endgame, pretend to give me the hatch only to close it in my face- refuse to hook me etc. I've also experienced a Killer slugging everyone at 4 gens and refusing to hook anyone at all. Just left all 4 to bleed out. It's BS.

>or someone teabags after a pallet stun
So, then you did it?
At first you just talk about using the item, but then you mention tbag.
I am okay with using an items for game mechanics, even if it's a flashlight blindness. But tbag or clicking is not a game mechanic. So if you play like a clown, be ready to die like a clown :D
