I have learned my lesson and will go back to A-tier Killers.
I tried to play some of the weaker killers for the last couple of days. Tried some clown games, some sadako games etc. The picture is literary always the same. These matches start mostly relatively normal but as soon as survivors realise that I can't really keep up with them 1 or 2 survivors go absolutely balistic on me with toxicity. Like in 90% of the games were surivvors that were constantly jumping in and out of lockers, teabagging whenever they could and writing long essays on why this was easy in endgame chat and many other things.
I find this behaviour pretty weird since most survivors complain that they only go up against the same killers but if they get a weaker killer they apparently try to take revenge for all the nurse games they had in their life.
I at least will go back to playing stronger killers like nurse, blight and huntress again because it just sucks to be completely toxed at and not being able to do anything about it.

Aside Trapper, Sadako, Myers and Freddy most killers are fine.
What is the problem are maps and items that survivors can buy plenty of since they reduced the cost of bloodweeb.
Don't get me wrong some killers add-ons need to be nerfed as well but they appear way less often than let's say strong green toolboxes and medkits.
As for toxic behavior of survivors...i mean it is pretty normal even when you play a higher tier killer.
Again, maps need to be reworked but in a good way to prevent abusing the map offering, toolboxes and medkits deserve nerfs as well.

I think I see the problem here. You didn’t mention Spirit at all who is a top tier killer and apparently you don’t play her. Playing DBD without associating with Spirit is actually scientifically proven to be very bad for mental health. Everyone that doesn’t play her goes through this at some point, but it’s hard to know that something is wrong until you start to see what she’s like yourself.
In all seriousness I do recommend her, she is fun c:

I second GannTM. I haven't played Spirit for long, but she's tons of fun =)

You missed Twins

Well i more so thought about strength of killer not how fun they are to play or how fun they are to face (altho i probably should mention Pig, Clown and Wraith earlier as well...).
Like men would i love Pyramid Head to be smoother and have better add-ons.

Well, Twins still aren't really strong, the only thing they have going for them is slugging, and even then, at least imo, they're mediocre at best

Well aren't Twins used in tournaments? I am pretty sure they are.
Twins aren't amazing S++ tier killers but they are solid.

Oh yeah. xD
After spending 2903847384 hours on Hag, I thought: "Hmm... I should try to play as a Trapper... Come on they are really alike... What could go wrong?"
After 1 match as a Trapper... As you said: "I've learned my lesson and will go back to my beloved Hag..."
"Goodbye Mr.Trapper! I hope we never meet again!"

I have some of my best performance on Ghostface of all killers.
I either pull off some neat instant Exposure hits and burn through those health states at an alarming rate.
Or the survivors spot me early, reveal me, get cocky, and I end up snowballing despite basically playing a powerless M1 killer.
It's surprising how often that happens. I just had a match on Lerys where I went in with the intention of fully stalking and one-hit downing everyone. But when Mikaela revealed me at 5% stalk because I didn't see her creep up behind me, I chased and downed her, then Yun-Jin tried to body block and took two hits, so I still got 2 hooks before the first gen was done, and it only got worse from there. Survivor altruism is the biggest killer of all.

Ghostface is a killer I've played a lot of last month, and the amount of times I load in with a "mark 4 survs" challenge and get out of the game with only one or two marks is ridiculous (in a fun way) !
There really are some fast-paced games where you don't have 10 seconds to stalk and end up using shroud to mindgame chases more than anything, haha ! =D

They are? Wow, news for me tbh
2 -
Twins are an incredibly powerful killer when played right, victor is unloopable practically.
2 -
Word.
I love playing twins. They are also absolutely amazing for punishing bully squads. Because you can slug and defend so effectively with them.
2 -
Some survs get real cocky for someone in lunging distance.
But yh, I find survs are pretty quick to bm when you struggle against them. Thankfully in my killer games I've got to the point where if someone bms me I can usually tunnel them out before gens are finished. Very satisfying.

But your entire post was accurate. Which part was a joke?

True you’re right, it’s all facts.

I don’t play Spirit and I have fun.
For the most part.
sometimes………….
maybe………

I've been steamrolled many times by so-called weak killers. I'd ignore chat and just keep playing them. You can only get better and then those survivors won't have much to say
6 -
No killer except maybe Nurse is strong enough to save you. That's why I still try and humor playing the weaker killers, because it's all the same.

I'd chalk that up to bad teammates. No reason at all why we should be losing to Wraith, Legion, Ghost Face, etc.

I don’t believe that for a second.

Playing as Spirit is just a phase.

You shouldn't allow survivor's to force you to play a different killer.I know Legion is weak against a strong team running bpns, boiled over whatever you's perk is to help them wiggle fast,the DHrd's but play your favorite killer. Behaviour Needs to change some things on the survivor side.Yes killer's or strong but coordinated teams are stronger, sorry solo que, your job is to just out last and be smarter,bring a key for once ,if you survive your teammates you can always escape, even if killer closes hatch play better,if you Casually play then why do you even care about escaping?
This has always been a the problem SWFs can we have a Duo mode for killers at least at least it be a little funner losing with another killer
I don't have friends who play games so please make it que with friends and match making

I played a lot of killer since 13th and I have to say: You FEEL the difference so hard, its unreal. I played a lot of King of Nerfs Freddy, tried to learn The Oni, which is not that easy, started playing Bubba for the Steam Adept and I played a lot of Blight (with Double Crow, not Alchemist Ring or Iri).
What can I say: Playing Blight feels so much better than any other of these killers. Even on Lerys, you have some awesome hits which satisfy so much, its fantastic.
On the other Side you get a 4Man with a Eyrie of Crow-Offering as Freddy and I could get 1 hook (and I would say I am "very good" (well, in this game obviously not XD) with Freddy, but the loops on this map are broken, at least with M1 + Snares. They did nothing on these XXL-Pallet-Loops at all. With 1 hook, my build (Pain Res, Dead Mans, BBQ and Corrupt) is useless, so I had literally nothing to slow down.
So yeah, I understand exactly what u mean. If u face a 4Man-SWF which know how to loop at such a map, you lose by default with bad killers like Freddy.

I love "ghostly" killers, like Onryo, Wraith, Dredge and Nurse (i like theme od Spirit, but i cant get use to her power, i love being unseen, but hate not seeing. She is quite strong if You have good headphones, but strenght should not be tied to equipment You use ;/).
That being said.
I dont have problems with games with Sadako or Wraith, and its either because im bad killer and get nad survivors or im good killer and can use them.
Most salty survivors i have encountered was on maches with 4k despite of killer i used, and it was only at end chat. Ingame they always behave the same regardless of me playing Sadako or Sally.

This is normal for any avarage to lower tier killers. Survivors know they play againts "easy" killer so they can take advantage of it and be toxic and annoying as much as they can.

I recently brought Spirit during the Halloween sale, I might have to try her out at some point. And pray I don't get matched against seal team 6. XD

I still have fun and kick ass with Michael.

Some killers in this game are good and some suck. Just point blank they are bad when facing good survivors and the devs do not care. If every killer were good the survivors would complain and no one wants that
Also yeah. The MOMENT you play a new OR weaker killer the survivors turn into utter pricks. Then you go back to blight or nurse or spirit and they ######### and cry about only ever seeing meta killers
Not to mention we were sooooooo riled up about the killer buffs a while back as a community. Now we see killers can't get purple or red addons in the blood webs without grinding millions of bloodpoints anymore meanwhile survivors get their BEST items EVERY SINGLE GAME now. Yeah if you aren't running iri/purple on nurse/spirit/blight and maybe a few of the a/b tier killers, you're going to have a bad match every game
It's at a point with toxic survivors that I've gone from playing after work 5-7 nights a week to 3-5 that now I might log in once a week. Even getting a 4k with 1 gen done is infuriating because it's nothing but toxic tea bagging and insults post games. Win or lose it's miserable. And that win still has to take half and hour to an hour because of the survivors hiding and healing infinitely, it's becoming a time sink to play most of the time.

Yeah I pretty much don't play anything below A tier as well. Playing those killers feels like flipping two coins: one hoping you don't get a coordinated team and other hoping you don't get a ######### map.

Ditto.

unless they face a fake pallet freddy on gideon. Who also knows the map in and out.

basekit spirit felt pathetic ngl. did adept yesterday i think 2nd attempt, one basekit match and i got destroyed second match i used yellow speed and duration. at least her best add ons are yellow (mdr doesn't exist)

you really need to have a thick skin to bear some matches sadly. if you don't feel like it, don't play to lose or don't play dbd at all i think.
1 -
Nothing wrong with Trapper. The rest though... Yup!
0 -
and that nice looking kimono skin only costs 300 auric cells right now, I'd def play her and buy that skin

What always catches me and gets under my skin is when im trying to do certain challenges. Like this evening, i had lots of plans for dbd but i had to quit the game after a couple of rounds.
first 2 with clown were somewhat succsessfull, all though i got 0 sacrifices, at least i got mutch points. It was still a little bit annoying but i thought "well maybe im just not good with clown today" <. which was true. I guess. Maybe just rng. However i did a new build with Plague and had 3 HUGE games even on Haddonfield one. i 4ked every game. The last plague game is where i progressed my next challenge to 1/3.
Gold emblems for sacrifice category. 9 or more hooks is iri, 1 hook for every survivor is at least bronce. But i never got over silver since i switched from plague to sadako and its not because its on sadako, i just ended the games too fast. Well the first was a 4 man escape but i thought i wouldve had enough hooks for at least gold, now the second i put gideon map offering and it was a toe to toe race, they had 1 gen left done but i at least 3 hooked a kate and then claudette died on her first hook. I hooked the dwight once and nea 2 times after she died too. Thats 7 hooks, but still silver x-x
Thats the moment where i snapped, it was so annoying not having that challenge progressed all though i got more bloodpoints than the challenge is worth obviously. But i wanted to get it done today. And i didnt feel like playing plague the whole time. I wanted to play survivor too but after that i was alredy too angered so i just quit the game after the match was over.

I have that paired with that underwader head skin, the one with the strange mouth ;) looks very nice

Bots next week will give killers the chance go try a few low ones with no grief whatsoever.
0 -
You enjoy loosing? :D I think it shouldn't be normalized. The game should be balanced so that the killers are feared and respected
0 -
survivors enjoy playing against weaker killers only. As result, their reward is having low variety of killers to face because nobody wants to play weak killers with limit skill expression.
