Everytime I change my build, I get paired with a killer that counters it

So, I was just chilling playing some dbd using my main build (windows of opportunity, lithe, adrenaline, prove thyself), but I got bored and changed it to a healing build (empathy, botany knowledge, built to last, desperate measures), what happened? I played against a Plague using pentimento and thanatophobia...After that match I changed the build again to a chase focused build (dead hard, windows of opportunity, open handed, resilience) with a purple flashlight, what happened? I played against a hit and run Legion that barely chased anyone...

I might be cursed or something

    Curses are real in this game !

    I'm right there with you on the "puts on a healing build : Plague next".

    I also have the "puts on Distortion : Ghostface / Wraith next".

    This happens quite often myself. I'm glad killers very rarely run Shattered Hope to break my boons =(

    Because Shattered Hope is deadweight when they're not being spammed. Not worth it if you have to traipse across the map to get value. Would only sort of make sense in a pentimento focused build, so that's why it almost never comes up.

    Maybe it's a curse. But it might be something even more sinister.

    I want you to get off your PC and make your way downstairs. Be careful but keep going. Now open the door to your basement and slowly make your way down. Stay hidden and don't turn on the lights, don't even breath. Do you hear breathing? Do you hear weird noises? That's right, it's a basement Bubba. He's here to sabotage your matches!

    Its actually frogs. I know it sounds crazy, but the frogs are watching, and they communicate your builds lightning fast through the ribbit network. Killer mains like me listen to the frogs... We're the frog whisperers

    I don't believe it's random with this amount of cheats exist to snipe you.

    Happens to me all the time... I have distortion because killers were using lethal pursue and nowhere to hide and I get matched with slowdown gen killers, I take off distortion and put PT and BANG I am the first chase because of lethal pursue... I put overcome and I get a Plague, Bubba, Billy, Myers and all instadown killers... I equip my best medkit and get Hag with franklins.... 3 traps around my medkit... I put HeadOn and I get Huntress with Iron Maiden....

    I feel u and u are not alone... 😅

    Haha, yeah i hate that feeling. Yesterday had to do a challenge to get protection hits so i decided to bring a med kit with mettle of man, go against a plague, well there goes the plan.

    Really feels like a matchmaking curse xD
