Mid-chapter update is quite nice

Hello,

(Usual disclaimer that this is feedback from an average solo q survivor & killer, no need to argue with me bc "in high MMR [...]", bc I wouldn't know.)

It's been a little while since the update and i've been enjoying playing DBD this week. Like I actually played it multiple days in a row, which I hadn't done in a loooong while.

I'm not getting free 4K every game for doing the bare minimum as killer and I'm not stuck in 15 minutes games and hardcore 3 gens as survivor anymore.

As survivor: I don't feel like there's more tunneling, yes it's still very present but it was already very present (and it'll probably stay very present forever). There's a bit more facecamping but I honestly don't mind. Maybe it's an unpopular opinion but i'd rather go against killers who facecamp & tunnel and otherwise focus on the survivors (even if it's just one) rather than go againt killers who just kick gens repeatedly.

As killer: yes sometimes I get only 5 hooks and don't feel like I could have done better, but it's quite rare and I think it has more to do with matchmaking than balance (the very few games I felt like that was bc there was one really good survivor that I was no match with).

All in all, even the games where the killer facecamped, tunneled, or gens were done very fast were still somewhat enjoyable. I didn't win them all and maybe it's just a me thing but I enjoyed those games anyway, my favorite games this week were actually games where these things happened. I absolutely don't feel like tunneling & gen rushing are anything worse than they were before the update.

Conclusion: The game are on average way more enjoyable on both sides since the update, keep it up :)

    Yeah, had it same.

    I am even more weird and enjoy playing skull merchant...

    I have done all survivor tome challenges as soloQ to find out why everyone is crying so much.

    Not really an issue. Was there camping and tunneling? Yeah, but never from first hook. Usually something like 2-3 gens left, but I find that understandable. Killer would otherwise lose that game. If you are decent survivor, then I don't think most killers have time for 12 hook games, they simply have to take someone out at that point, but you still can win...

    Just use Bond and soloQ is way better to play.

    I've had tunnelers & facecampers at 5 gens, but not more than before the update tbh (and I don't think any killer who did this got a 4k). Anyways, I hope the game doesn't have another "meta change" anytime soon, it's quite nice right now (and I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this haha)

    It was funny when Otz was doing experiment where he tried not to tunnel and see how it goes, but survivors were saying he is still tunneling.

    Just get used to having escapes as killer and dying as survivor. You simply can't always win.

    It's way more enjoyable, when you don't care...

    Definitely, when the game does stupid stuff or the killers being a giant dildo. Just ######### on the hook. Happens every game I think. Or pull the plug on the internet, that happens alot too. I won't lie I do kill myself on hook, just much better to go next than deal with dumb #########

    You are just troll account.

    Keep saying how you get 4k 70%.

    Now you are acting like poor survivor, who keeps killing himself on hook, so basically useless teammate.

    For anyone wondering, this is your opinion:

    No, killers need nerfs lol. Or the game needs to reimplemeny infinites and vacuum vaults and do something about the God forsaken slow vaulting and stupid stutter thing when it vaults a pallet.

    You are survivor who needs infinites to win. Basically pathetic.

    So we are supposed to believe you are god killer who can 4k most of your games and need infinites to balance yourself, so survivors have chance.

    No, you are just bad survivor with funny fantasy.

    Well, glad I noticed your comments from different posts. Now I don't have to take it seriously.
