Suddenly I'm a good survivor?

A few days ago I woke up on an ordinary morning and hopped on DBD for a few survivor matches. But for some reason I felt different. My survivor skills for some reason have increased 10x overnight. My chases now lasted way, way, way longer and my chances of escape went up drastically.

I decided to record my games and compare them to what I played like a week ago. I myself haven't changed, my mindset is still the same, I still loop the same way, I haven't been training or anything, yet my chase time now averages 2 minutes before getting downed (sometimes even longer), before I lasted about 30 to 50 seconds.

I have had killers call me a bully, a tryhard, a racial slur, a toxic SWF (even though I play solo). For a while now, I've been asking killers in endgame chat how well I did and how I could improve (i like constructive criticism), before I would be answered with "you were meh" or "you were dogsh*t", now I either get killers praising me or getting very angry at me because they think I'm rubbing salt into their wound.

Maybe I feel like I'm better because I'm using crutch perks? Ok, I hopped into matches perkless. Still felt very confident and had decade-long chases. Now I no longer believe I need to rely on perks to perform.

This is really bizarre, but now I'm having more fun in DBD than ever. It's like playing an entirely new game. I rarely have a bad match now.

    Looks like you've had a boost to your confidence, that helps a lot in chases. Especially on unsafe loops.

    Have you been playing lots of Killer in the meantime?

    If you are good at Killer you will be a good survivor quickly, as you already know how to loop, and hence know how to counter loop. It's the same the other way around.

    Don't you see, there was never anything special about that shiny rock you found! We told you it was the "Survivor Super Enhancer 5,000" because you wouldn't believe us when we told you that you've had this skill all along right here *points to your heart*.

    You average 2 minute chases? I would like to see those recordings, might learn something myself!
