Matches are now abysmal.

To preface, I'm not a Dead Hard or meta user. I regularly experiment with builds depending on the Daily Challenge/Tome I'm working towards.

I have yet to play killer post-update, but I really don't want to. For a myriad of reasons, I'm very seriously and genuinely considering not purchasing this rift, for the first time since rifts we're introduced, and uninstalling the game.

As a survivor, I've only been able to play a total of 5 matches these past few days before having to switch to something else. The matches are either less than 5 mins long for me (due to being unable to complete even 1 generator and myself and teammates being tunneled out of the game), or they last almost an hour due to a combination of killer perk buffs + decreased gen times. My second to last match was a 48 minute Legion catastrophe. To top it all off, every single killer in all 5 of these matches has BMed the entire team on hook.

I'm not saying it's JUST the change Dead Hard, but I truly feel that killers have been further emboldened to tunnel and slug. There's no other explanation for it. Prior, yeah, there were a lot of BMers and low IQ campers, but the fact that the first match of the update and the 4 matches that followed were 100% toxic is concerning. It couldn't possibly be "because I was getting gen rushed", because the gens barely got done. IF one or two got completed at all. So, I can't find any other excuse for the increase in terrible behavior from killers.

I think for now it's a good idea if many of us who have experienced the same thing switch to another title. Because for me, personally, getting sh¹t on so massively or being unable to complete objectives on 100% of my matches so far is not the kind of experience I look for when choosing a game to wind down with or stream. I've seen so many broken killer builds on the Reddit thread that I'm hesitant to continue investing time or money into this game.

If anyone else would like to vent their experiences in this post, I invite you to. I'd like to hear your experiences and see if I'm just getting bad luck queues.

Comfort Strode attached. Good luck out there.
