Dear Survivor Mains,
What makes you like playing survivor?
My reason to main killer is because I get scared to death playing survivor Idek how you guys can keep up, ik it's not Friday the 13th like this upcoming friday, but I cant even especially at exit gates, my heart cant take it xD

Getting killed by one person is less soul crushing than watching 4 people click and dance at the exit gate.

When I first played, DbD was genuinely terrifying. I'm not joking when I say during the tutorial, I couldn't even vault through the window, cause then I'd be leaving my little safety area. It took about five minutes of hyping myself up. During ACTUAL games I'd hide so much cause I was scared. My heart still races at exit gates though, that part never went away :3

I enjoy games that promote teamwork hence why I love Twins for the killer role.
I also find the survivor characters more interesting than the killer roster IMO.

I play both but played surv a lot more.
Biggest reason is less stress for me.

I just prefer the role where I feel like I have less power and can break ankles.
When I play killer, I'm bored because I know I'm going to catch them. It's just a matter of "when" depending on how good they are. As survivor, the thrill of seeing how long I can outrun or juke a killer keeps me coming back

I enjoy evading the killer for as long as possible and still giggle when they walk by my bush, unaware that I’m right there.

Just like I enjoy chasing survivors, I also enjoy being chased by killers. That's honestly the primary reason.
EDIT: Note I am not really an anything "main", but I'm pretty simple-minded like that when it comes to my enjoyment of both killer and survivor. I like hitting survivors, and I like trying to avoid being hit as survivor.

It's less stressful than killer. That's honestly the only reason. I still enjoy playing killer too, I just play survivor more often.

I play a bit of killer but I do prefer survivor. I'm a pretty chill player and the only time I get any real anxiety is when I can hear hatch but can't find the bloody thing. Especially so when I can the killer's terror radius getting louder

I cannot speak for myself (I play both) but among my friends who only played survivor, the reason was that they found killer to be too stressful. (I was regularly pushing them to play killer, unsuccessfully, as playing a killer is the best way to learn to counter it.)

I am Killer main.
I don't hate survivor, but constantly having to put my victory or defeat between the skills of three other people frustrates me.
Making generators is boring.
Survivors only differ in skin.
And I still want to be able to play in a game, which I can't do if the Killer camp me.

The mode to play after a long shift of work
Easier to use every perk survivors are just skins so
Overall my favourite dead by daylight moments have been from survivor
And survivor was my first mode so I stuck with it
and overall it's more entertaining to be chased

Not a survivor main per se, but I play a ton of survivor.
I think there are a lot of technical aspects of survivor that get overlooked. It's fun to optimize pathing, gens, and overall game flow. I try to approach survivor with a "no wasted motion" mindset.
Of course, this is when you have a group of like-minded players or you get matched correctly. Nothing more frustrating than randos throwing for challenges or otherwise throwing games when you're there to win.
