Simple question:

Can you admit when you get outplayed as both Killer and Survivor?

    I just am, sorry. Game must be balanced around me.

    Yeah, I always respect the killer/survivor whenever I get outplayed by skill, such as flashbang and flashlight saves, and good Billy/Blight flicks.





    Just kidding, I voted for the wrong poll option. If I get "outplayed," it's 100% me being unlucky, and the other side did NOT use any skill to "outplay" me. They should just git gud and quit using luck to their advantage.

    Very rarely. I don't consider myself "outplayed" by the W key or killers with no counterplay. Which sucks, because I'm not even that good at the game. It's just how it's played in my region.

    It's inevitable that I'm going to get survivors every once in a while that know how to loop a Trickster well even in his best maps. While I do understand that part of this isn't my fault because Trickster is a weaker killer that still has a couple of flaws — sometimes survivors just know what loops to take me to that are very hard to get a down in and it's the risk I take with one-tricking Trickster.

    Recently I've been getting a lot of glitches/bugs that have been impacting my games a lot more. It might be because I'm going up against a lot more experienced survivors with the SBMM so they know how to utilize it more (pallet hit validation bug, unable to pick survivors up by certain gens, etc). Had a survivor recently admit to using a bug to their advantage to prevent me from getting a kill which kind of sucked and I feel bad for saying "I didn't win this game because of these bugs!" but sometimes that's just the truth. But I can still admit when survivors loop me well.

    There are times when you get geniunely outplayed. But more often than not it's not the opposing player's skill that allowed them to win the interaction, but the fact that they ran a 2nd chance perk or abused a poorly-designed section of the map that you can do literally nothing about.

    I have never been outplayed. Not a single time. I am the lord of DBD, there are ancient monuments in egypt depicting images of me surrounded by symbols of rank 1. I am at the top of every single leaderboard on every single DBD related website. My mere presence instantly kills the opposition.


    Joking aside, Yes, i have been outplayed plenty of times before.

    I will always admit when a survivor outplays me at a strong tile, or when a killer mindgames my pants off as survivor. The things that piss me off are when map generation spawns tiles in such a way that good survivors chain them and make it just a pointless chase/a total dead zone, or when I clearly outplay the other side and a perk lets them undo it. If I successfully mindgame someone and they press E to Undo Mistake, that's what irks me. Because so often you can tell it wasn't them deliberately planning on using their dead hard, they just had a good reaction time to realizing they messed up. On the killer side running Ruin/Undying/Tinkerer as a mobility killer and refusing to commit to any chase because gen protection wins them the game, but was it really fun for you to not chase ever? But nope, carry perks gonna carry.

    Aka genuine outplays good, getting screwed over by the map or a perk/combo undoing what was otherwise a successful play is infuriating to me (also why I don't run DH or the Ruin/Undying/Tinkerer combo, if I hate going against it why subject others to it?)

    Yes. You have to look at the games objectively and be honest.

    • Did you have a bad map?
    • Bad pallet/tile rng?
    • Wrongs perks vs opposition?
    • Bad mistake or outplayed?
    • Bugs or lag?

    If I get outplayed I'll admit it and try to understand why I messed up. Only way you can improve yourself.
