Play both. Solo Survivor is like a relaxing mode for winding down. Killer mode is for winding up. As Survivor l play a solitary style, will prioritise gens over anything unless hooked player is close by. I usually bring a med kit in to dump as a spare and i ll open a few chests early to save time later.
As killer, I play too nicely. Hex devour hope sums my playstyle up. I seem to start very well but struggle mid and end game, mostly for being too nice and giving survivors second chances.

- Survivor main. I play killer almost exclusively in order to complete challenges. Don't like the stress, at all.
- I'm a good sport most of the time. As someone who used to play killer a lot at red ranks I know how frustrating killer can be so almost never do silly stuff like tbag or click.
- Well I did plan to P3 all characters all perks before losing all my progress. I was well on my way. But now I aim to max out all characters at LVL 50 with all perks.
- Yes I sometimes do get tilted. Mostly because of the poor matchmaking.
- I bought one cosmetic with auric cells to go along with my Howling Ground jacket for David. I regret doing so. Other than that I purchase cosmetics with shards.

I play both sides pretty equally, maybe a little more survivor. I stream 20 hours a week on Twitch playing almost exclusively survivor (almost always as part of a SWF, ranging from a 2-person group to a full-on 4-person group). With the excpetion of a good friend who started playing with me almost from the beginning when I picked up the game a year ago, the people I play with are almost all people who were opposing survivors in games where I was the killer, lol. I record for YT almost exclusively killer rounds, and I get in probably 15-20 hours a week in that role.
I definitely think I'm a good sport. As a survivor, I don't teabag, point, locker/pallet spam at the end of the game, taunt, etc. I can't use a flashlight, so no "clicky-clicky" on my end either. I finally got an old Rift challenge done the other day to blind a killer when someone was AFK, and one of my teammates had found a flashlight in a chest and let me borrow it, lol. I don't hang around in the exits when the game is won, and I try to stick around only if a teammate might need help to escape. As a killer, I do my best to not tunnel, even accidentally, if at all possible, and I won't camp, unless it's EGC and someone is on the hook -- even then, it's more me patrolling the hook. I've never facecamped and never will, even if the opponent has been toxic. I give hatch pretty often -- especially if someone rage-quits and screws their team over -- and I've definitely been part of many a farming match, using as Piggie when people are in a Booping mood.
I can get tilted by BM'ing opponents, either killer or survivor, but I try to remind myself at the end of a match that it's just a game. I have bigger things in life to worry about than if I was tunnelled or if someone teabagged me at the exit, so I try to keep everything in perspective. To be fair, however, that can sometimes be hard to do in this game with some of the people you run across, lol.
All of my killers are sitting at Level 50, with the exception of a couple I never play (Deathslinger, Twins, Trickster). The killers I play the most with (Pig, Doctor, Wraith, Ghostface, Myers) have every perk -- Piggie, who I'd say is my "main", has a ton of add-ons, offerings, and the like, as she's gotten the most BP put into her by far. Other killers have a lot of perks and eventually I plan to have all of them fully equipped as well. All of my survivors save Quentin are Level 50 -- Meg (who I started playing as when I got the game) is who I play the most, and she's the only one I got to P3, though I've slowly started getting other survivors to that level. None of my killers are, and none of them will ever be, since I wear cosmetics on all of them when I play.
When I started playing, I thought buying cosmetics was foolish and didn't understand why anyone would do it, since it didn't change gameplay -- and now I have more cosmetics than I know what to do with, lol. 😅 Most of my survivors have numerous outfits to choose from, as do my killers I play regularly. As frustrated as I feel sometimes with BHVR and some of their decision-making, I DO enjoy the game and what it provides me, and I don't mind supporting them. The only DLC I didn't get upon release was The Twins (for the obvious reasons), but I'm certain this game will see more from my wallet in the future.

I Play both but mosty killer.
I'm a good sport and sometimes let one player live if he has a bad team. But if I face sweaty tryhards which I tend to get mostly then i will use mori no mercy

- I started as 100% killer, 0% survivor; now I'm 80% survivor, 20% killer.
- I fit my own definition of a good sport. I don't BM people or ruin their experience on purpose; I proactively ease up if it seems like I matched with rank 20s.
- I decided not to prestige because I thought it would take too long. I would like to have all the perks for convenience's sake, but mostly I'm driven to grind for cosmetics (I don't like the prestige ones).
- Playing survivor is very peaceful for me. Even if the killer behaves terribly, it doesn't really bug me that much, and I forget about it pretty quickly. Playing killer is bad for my mental health. For some reason, the stuff toxic survivors do gets under my skin a lot more than the stuff toxic killers do. If the match is bad enough, I can be angry for the rest of the day.
- I buy cosmetics and I wish I wouldn't.

lol yeah I don't like when people say that

Started off playing survivor exclusively. Then switched to killer exclusively. Now playing both, still more killer. I'd like to spend more time playing survivor again, though. The big hurdle here is the lack of an SWF group. As solo survivor is considerably less fun than killer, it's hard to find a reason to queue up as survivor.
Think I'm a good sport, I don't pretend to be the best player so I consider it natural that I screw up at times or lose to better players.
I have a selected number of favorite characters I'm playing. I max these out (P3 with all perks I've unlocked). However, I neither level all characters, nor do I unlock all teachables. This is my way of dealing with the grind given the time I have available.
As killer I never get tilted, as solo survivor quite a bit. I'm getting more calm over time, but I'm still not quite as good at shrugging off everything the game throws at me as other people are.
I did buy cosmetics, currently not so much any longer, but not because I wouldn't spend more money but because I'm happy with what I have for my characters.

I am a survivor main I am generally a good sport but have a short fuse so I guess yea I get tilted I am currently trying to get all perks on all my current unlocked characters not bothered about prestiege on all characters as I pay shards for some cool cosmetics and would be a waste of bp to prestige if I'm not gonna wear it.

Are you a survivor or killer main? Or do you play both equally? Survivor main, but I also play killers sometimes. I'm just not that good with them yet, and I feel more anxious when I play as them because all the pressure and attention is on me.
Are you a good sport? Extremely. I say "gg" constantly. I congratulate good killers. I apologize if I have to bail and leave another survivor to die. As killer I have more fun letting the survivors escape. I care more about everyone having a fun game and getting points than I do about winning or losing. I boop the snoot.
Do you feel the need to max out all of your characters with all perks and prestige them? No. Aside from the bloody clothing reward, there's literally no point. I like the clothing to an extent, but nothing about it makes me feel that I HAVE to hurry up and get it. Similarly, everyone will get to a high level when they get there. I see no point in rushing anything since this game is, for the most part, a cycle. There's no superpower that unlocks when you max a level.
Do you get tilted when playing this game? I'm unfamiliar with the term but if tilted means "really frustrated" then yes, sometimes. If I go against a bunch of super great killers in a row or if I spent five minutes waiting to get into a game only for the killer to somehow find me and tunnel / camp me to death in two.
Do you buy cosmetics? Yes, but pretty much only for the survivors. I see little point in spending real-world money on killer outfits that I myself will basically never see.

"Are you a survivor or killer main? Or do you play both equally?"
I play both, more or less equally unless some role has an insane queue (which in my zone is almost never).
"Are you a good sport?"
Yes, as Killer I never camp, I rarely tunnel intentionally (cant avoid it if I face 4 people with the same char and cosmetics), I attempt to get at least 11 hooks per game, in most of my games Survivors end with a lot of points (even if I 4K almost always everyone has +15k points or much more) and I rarely get called things, as Survivor I dont T-bag unless the Killer was a real jerk, dont drag the game, dont sandbag, etc.
"Do you feel the need to max out all of your characters with all perks and prestige them?"
To an extent yes because there isnt much else to do with BPs once you have a Survivor P3 all perks and your 2 or 3 mains as P3 all perks.
"Do you get tilted when playing this game?"
Only if facing Twins.
"Do you buy cosmetics?"
Nope.

I am getting the feeling that you are a silly meghead or cheryl.

I have been told relatively the same things, although those comments are much less common the the average "uninstall poop killer"
I wish I could control my emotions 100% of the time when playing this game, I always do really well and then the second the game starts to screw me over everything falls apart.

both equally
kinda, i ignore all chats and just move on
survivors are maxed out at p3, killers are close to be maxed out
as survivor, every time i play killer and i feel like those teams are way better than my solo q ones, everytime i dont got what my killers got
not anymore, i stopped buying stuff except new rifts and whatever side of a new dlc has the better perks (IF at all), but not the whole dlc anymore
im playing this game for the stream. since i hit sth around 1.5k hrs in this game im playing this game if im streaming. now im at 7,2k hrs. im someone people call a veteran i guess and im sure you can imagine that i don't like this game anymore. I'm reading forums and memes on reddit but I'm barely playing this game. Everytime I skip through the bunch of perks nothing triggers my attention bc I did pretty much everything in this game and I'm bored.
I was hoping for the new Lucky Break making new builds and having a good time. But instead of changing it they just nerfed it... like..why? That's the mentality that pisses me off. Why changing at all. With old Lucky Break I qould have equipped Iron Will and Lightweight with sth else and have fun. Now this perk is just silly.
And I'm the type of player who don't gives a single poop about ingame chats. Players usually don't know the difference what's good or bad they're just entilted af. This counts for killer and survivor. From time to time I enable the chat to show people that I literally don't care about their feelings. You can do you what you want, there will always be people who are fine with that and people who are not. Just do whatever you want.
I like information perks as survivor because those are the best and people will never realize that. if you know what's going in dbd and you know how to use this information to your advantage you will most likely be strong af. But people like second chance perks idk why.
As a Killer I most likely exploit tunneling and camping by a classy Bubba or a spirit with 4 slow down perks. I like being everything that's not okay and having fun with that. It's pretty entertaining when survivor players complain about sth you did. But I'm also that guy that gives you the hatch if I'm not feeling miserable and the survivor also was either a) pretty good but the etam was bad or b) the survivor was that bad that I don 't get why I got matched with this guy.
Atm I gave up doing gens since a few weeks. Teams are that bad (only red ranks) that it's way too unfun to the main objective but I think that's the fault of the developers. I mean they did gens the worse of all. Zero bloodpoints, zero rewards, just a ridiculous long time for sth you probably can't even finish, so yea. I'm just memeing around with the stun build and don't give a f.
Im pretty much what you would call cold as ice in this game. Doesn't matter if I'm Killer or Survivor. No regrets, just playing. Always to my own advantage. Nothing else. I don't let you go or save you from the hook bc I'm a nice guy.

- No, Only on characters I play a lot.
- Yes, Sometimes. I try not to, but there's just some players that do everything in their willpower to irritate you.

Used to almost exclusively play killer. Now I'd say I play 60% survivor and 40% killer.
I typically ignore the end game chat but I'll pop it up once in a while just to see if anyone's saying anything. Every once in a while, you do get nice surprises and people get friendly. I have yet to lash out at someone for their game actions, I feel it's utterly unnecessary and the community's already on edge enough as is.
So far my leveling up has been scatterbrained as all heck, I put several hundreds hours in killer and yet no killer of mine is close to having all perks. I'll probably prestige the characters I play the most; so far I have Billy, Clown and Trickster at Prestige Level 1. At the very least I did unlock every killer perk. Survivors? So far I have unlocked like 5 perks.
I'll sometimes get really annoyed at the game as a killer because of the feeling that you're supposed to be this all mighty killer out of blood, yet you get defeated by people that just run circles around a car or a wooden structure. As a survivor, my skill level is low enough that I typically get mad at myself for misplays and I will silently get annoyed when for instance, I'm on a hook and the remaining survivor is hatch camping instead of trying to do a rescue.
I haven't bought much cosmetics mainly because they're expensive as all heck for the most part. You typically can get more game content by buying multiple DLCs at the price you'd spend to buy one single outfit!
