I will stop playing killer until Dead Hard/MMR is fixed or removed this game is torture not fun
I play killer mainly and I lost my ######### due to mmr and dead hard I don't know how this game used to be before mmr was introduced but I only started playing shortly after it so all my games had it ... First of all every game is sweaty the same 4 perks over and over and over mainly dead hard everyone is using it and form my experience playing online video games developers were always adjusting and balancing the game and the thing is whenever a perk or ability or an item is over used in any other game on the cost of the other ones it gets nerfed immediately so there is a balance and all playstyles are equal but this perk is just torture and pain as soon as I started red ranks my mmr skyrocketed it was so much fun before going against normal beginner players I enjoyed playing all killers then slowly I dropped every killer I had fun playing because they were useless m1 killers can't end a chase.
Don't let me started on gen rushing and boons even running a meta build of ruin undying and playing nurse or blight or huntress first all my hex perks get cleaned 1 second into the match because a survivor spawns directly near them then the other boon meta survivors are searching 24/7 for totems to bless so before and now it's 200% higher chance that survivors will find your totems and I'm only facing 5000 hours players same names keep showing up to me toxic sweaty swf every other match they use dead hard so basically 3 health states and if you keep chasing all gens are done if you give up and try to patrol that survivor will get on a gen it's mental torture why this game is so survivor sided ? I'm barely lvl 107 now but I had enough of killer it's too much and you think bloodpoints are good enough to make anyone play killer? if you tunnel you lose the game and end up with 1 kill if you don't tunnel 4 survivors can easily escape plus the clicky clicky tbagging bullies and Decisive strike and the terrible field of view and dark maps where you can instantly lose sight of Claudette's and survivors wearing black and maps are too big to patrol there is nothing you can do as a killer to win unless you're a 7k hours nurse main that never misses a blink or something the average player that wants to climb or have any fun has no chance.
I was lucky to hit rank 4 as my highest rank I couldn't do it anymore when ever I'm finally able to down someone they dead hard that's a whole new chase and everyone is body blocking hooks and sabotaging them how are you supposed to hook someone 3 times with all of this ? and they won't even let you do it body blocking you and sabotaging your hooks I just want to enjoy the killers I love playing why everyone is forced into nurse blight spirit to even have a chance and considering how difficult these killers are I'm not seeing any difference so I'll just try survivor for now until this state changes .

My eyes.....they burn trying to read the wall....but ahem....
Yes MMR sucks we all agree and well Metas will always be Metas.....just play the game and not stress about losing a few games. Just chill and go with the flow, you'll find that sweet spot where MMR seems to work about 20% of the time.

ok bye

Ain't going no where gonna play survivor with you from now on let's abuse the usual 4 perks together right

If you tryhard it makes sense you will also face tryhards. Ever since I’ve stopped killing survivors, my games have been alot chiller. I don’t have to run 4 gen defence perks anymore and can actually run fun perks like coup de grace now. Getting 8 hooks is also alot easier so easy BP for me.
The survivors also start meming around with me once they find out I’m not going to kill them so everyone has fun. If you want less sweaty matches, stop aiming for 4Ks. Give the last survivor hatch more often so your MMR doesn’t increase too much.
You will start getting more casual survivors with meme builds and less meta perks. The game becomes alot more fun when you stop taking it so seriously.

That's not how the majority plays this game I want to play the objective that's what enjoyable to me and the majority but when it's not fair or balanced for both teams it's not fun anymore I don't want to meme around it's fun every now and then but not always .

what
1 -
How do you do fellow survivor , let's rush some gens
3 -
Play whatever you want lol.
3 -
Nah most of the killers are bad like wraith GF myers legion you can't win with whatever you want
2 -
No you can play with them. You care about win every game, this is your problem. Play Nurse if you do care that much.
8 -
i main killer lol
0 -
I care about piping up and getting higher rank / blood points rewards that's all like survivors do they always play to win so the killer must not ?
0 -
yeah a killer main with a survivor profile pic

You can play to win but you can not win all games. This will not change with your survivor exp either. You will win and you will lose. If you can not accept lose, you should not play any online game.
7 -
i just like cheryl
if it matters that much here's my killer selection screen compared to survivor, should give an idea of which side i put more time into :)
0 -
I know I'm not saying that I want to win all games I said that before high mmr I had balanced games but it's obvious how survivor sided the game is you can see the daily endless complains and the majority agrees that dead hard is a problem even devs if it's fair and balanced I'll blame myself for losing but it's bs new players like me going against 2016 players and hardcore sweat lords every game I tried everything but it's always the same result it's too difficult for killers mainly the mmr and the unfair perks like dead hard and boons and swf communication the game was designed for solo survivors from the look of it but swf can communicate your location and easily win every game how is that fair for a solo killer going against all of these obstacles and you can check videos of famous youtubers playing survivor and how killers are getting bullied and humiliated if you ignore the fact that there is a problem with how weak killers are then what can I say and how killer players are so low compared to survivors is very telling .

Thank you ! see everyone is having the same experience when playing killer as for nurse I had a good run with her and blight but then they become more torture than fun reaching a slightly higher mmr everyone knows how to counter nurse and it throws me off she's too difficult to play optimally every game so my experience was 15 games did good with her then I couldn't win ended up only getting a kill every time I had to slug but these seal six teams as you said don't do any mistakes they do everything perfectly 99% the gates going under pallets they will body block and blind to save someone and there is always 1 guy doing gens so if you patrol you gonna find him he's too good he will loop you and the others will do gens and they keeps swapping these players perfected their skills over thousands of hours and I quickly 2 months in the game and my mmr is match making me with 5k hour ttv's and swf's because the player base is low and there is no alternative but to sacrifice new killer players to pro survivors it's miserable and I wish they did like play normally and did their objectives and leave no they will bully you and taunt you and tbag and do everything they can to annoy you you can't win if you play seriously against them and if you camp or tunnel one of them they know how to get him out so you have no counter play even noed gets cleansed under a minute ... another thing is subtle cheaters the game is full of hackers using wall hacks and speed hacks sadly too .
The game forces you to play the S tier killers but even with them you lose so what's the point of all these killers that you enjoy but you can't play because their playstyle doesn't work ..
2 -
Exactly when you keep getting these solutions and replies it's the indirect answer that yeah the game favors survivors and it's not fair for killers so just troll and play the game not the way it was designed to play but survivors don't do that because it's more favorable for them as it is
2 -
Also I played survivor only tonight for few hours and it's so easy to pip up I only had to do some unhooks and couple of gens and run away from the killer and healed my team it was so chill and got a pip +1 every game but as a killer it's extremely hard to pip up you need to hook and pressure and kick gens and conquer Constantinople in 1 match just to get that +1 and I can't count how many matches I played like a mad man did really good as a killer but got 0 pip it's frustrating :/

sometimes you just need to play more. you might be doing something wrong or inefficient or not anticipating mind games/reacting the right way. i'm one of those survivors with many thousands of hours and don't believe i need dead hard to play well. this really isn't the issue. there are over 100 survivor perks in the game and a good survivor doesn't need any of them to do well (unless we're talking about going against all star blights/nurses).

Watch CoconutRTS he is like a huntress god with 7000 hours playtime and he is getting destroyed by survivors and complains about everything I said too . They don't get any better than him as a killer but still the game is survivor sided even if you're a pro killer...
0 -
the thing about huntress is that she's 100% mind-gameable unless you're playing on an open map. she walks slow. falls victim to respecting pallets. thinks she can get free hits but doesn't anticipate a crouch or the survivor stutter stopping at the last moment. of course, you throw in DH and it might be too much but i don't think many survivors ever complained about huntress being strong. she's probably the funnest killer in the game to go against honestly.
1 -
My point is not only him but other popular blight and s tier killers are having a hard time too it doesn't matter how good you're so such good players can win the majority of matches in other popular competitive games at high mmr and huntress is strong when used by her mains these players are human aimbots they rarely miss and can hit you across the map but they struggle a lot.

Over the weekend i tried playing killer again. Been on a long break. Came back for like a week when pinhead released. I played like 10 games sat afternoon. Id say i only won 1 match. It was a 3k as nurse and i needed noed because gens were flying. The other 9 matches were a mix of trapper, nurse, pinhead and pyramid head. They were all 0-1k and barely any hooks. It could be that i am out of practice due my long break but i never felt so frustrated with the game than i did that sat. After one too many pallet stuns, no hooks by 3 gens on rpd i just dced. Anyone who has seen me comment on dcing knows im against it. But that map was the final straw. I still dont justify me dcing but if someone who hates dcers decides to dc, something is wrong.
Mmr did jack ######### for me but it could have been flooded with survivors looking for matches. I dont even think i faced a 4 man swf cause people loaded in at different times. Maybe a 2 or 3 man here and there.
Pressure was non existent thanks to coh. Anytime i stopped chasing someone they were healed and back on a gen. No matter how many times i smashed a boon totem.
Besides nurse, every other killer i used felt like we were running from pallet to pallet. No matter how many i break there is always another.
I dont accuse someone of hacking lightly but even with my head phones, i couldnt hear grunts of pain. Despite no IW to hide it.
I was so frustrated that i uninstalled. After like 5 years ive never uninstalled before. I just played something else. Im normally a level headed individual when i play a game but if this made me rage quit. The game is in a terrible state. I cant imagine how bad the game is for new killers.

Just play nurse, I took the hard to swallow pill and grinded her with no addons now the games feel like I've got the power over the survivors again.
Dead hard still denies downs sometimes but that's being fixed soon hopefully.
1 -
There is nothing thats needs to fixed about DH. You will learn the if they gonna change it and youre still crying about the next exhaustion perk in the row.
2 -
I did the same for a while but she's just too not fun to play exclusively when I didn't enjoy her anymore I couldn't do anything
0 -
if those exhaustion perks are so good why no one is using them at all? Exactly ...
2 -
I know the struggle the endless pallets running from one to one and the 360's and fov techniques and when ever you finally land that hit nope they dead hard into a new palette and there you go another 2 gens are done too many pallets in the game that can be abused and looped and when you want to break it you get blinded and gives them a lot of time to run to the next loop come on I already have to to hook everyone 3 times and run around the map to get them out of gens but they have 2 advantages they can play the immersive and hide you're wasting tons of time searching and when you do they loop plus coh that made m1 killers like wraith my previous main useless.
1 -
Right. Lazyness as always.

Gen rushing isn't what you are experiencing. The only objective for survivors is to do gens. If you aren't pressuring and stopping that, then it is a you problem. Mad reddit vibes coming off this one.
0 -
Exactly I always run into them sometimes the obvious flying ones but the worst are auto dead hard and wall hack / speed hack ones you can never catch up to them just days ago a survivor I downed at the exit gates I was about to pick up he was like 6 meters away from escaping plenty of room for me to pick him but he crawl teleported outside I was shocked and he abused the speed hacks all game and even if you waste your time recording and reporting they don't get a ban

When every survivor spawns next to a gen or 4 of them or 2 good luck with that but obviously survivor mains are enjoying this meta right
0 -
I'm sorry for all the survivor only players who are being rude...I'm sorry the game frustrated you so much too. Maybe a break will be healthy for you, and hopefully they will nerf dead hard and boon:coh, along with some killer perks. The game has come a long way but survivors still hold the cards typically when it comes to angering the other side.
1 -
Thank you for your kind words and I agree just remove noed and anything they'd like just give us an option against dead hard and coh
0 -
Looks like you're not going to be playing killer for the next 100 years.
1 -
Well the more of us joining survivor the less killers you have to go against that will eventually lead them to buffing killer role
0 -
That's not gonna happen tho. Killer won't just die. It's fun, it's just that one match that a killer gets bullied they come here and complain. Same as survivor
4 -
Honestly I didn't read it, but MMR was for me the main reason to leave the game entirely.
Not sure whether or not something has been changed since the approximately 6 months I'm gone from DBD tho.
But unfortunately BHVR are very stubborn and won't remove SBMM, even if they know it will hurt the game.
Dead hard i never had an issue with, but they already confirmed they will change something about dead hard.
What they will change is still unknown other then soonTM 😂
3 -
Uff, that might take a while then.
1 -
I feel you; I have an average of ~3 Dead Hards equipped per match. Can't stomach more than 2--3 Killer games nowadays.
4 -
Why are the devs fixing it if there is nothing that needs to be fixed?
Why did they zero in on a particular aspect of the perk that they said is problematic?
Geez, I don't know who to believe :(
1 -
Okay
0 -
It's wild how the devs themselves said it's problematic and needs to be changed but people are saying it's not because they're benefiting from it .. but the way they handled coh is not promising .
0 -
DH is alright IMO.
Something needs to be done about either Hex's or Boons.
Hex's can vary the gameplay a bit but they are just gone in no time. It's stupid.
I tried pentimento once hoping it would help but I had to walk the whole map to light it lol
0 -
I gave up on ruin undying combo they get cleansed instantly over and over because of coh meta survivors are on the lookout for totems way more now and the spawn locations are terrible survivors spawn next to gens and hex totems all the time so yeah wasted perk slots and I disagree about DH it's not alright at all
0 -
For me DBD experience is a little bit better with the new MMR. It was too sweaty before and that's just boring. I like to play games for fun not to get stressed.
