Every time I play against stagnant survivor builds

Every single game I play as killer seems to be against the same perks. Lithe, Windows of Opportunity, Adrenaline, Sprint Burst, Unbreakable, Background Player, Flip Flop, Boil Over, flashlights, brand new parts, styptics.

Every time I do, I remember that these are the people complaining about killers slugging for the 4K, but they're content to make every single match the same stale, miserable experience. Unless I'm running an S-tier killer I'm just supposed to play along with their cookie cutter builds.

I'm so tired of it. Game's not called "Survive By Daylight." When I see people posting complaints about slugging or tunneling or camping but this is the "meta," this is what we're up against if we're even slightly above wood tier? Killers are making the game "unfun" for you? Really?

I hope they make Tombstone Myers basekit.

    "Victims complain about slugging":
    Yes, simply don't care about it. If you see a thread complaining about it, just reply with why slugging should remain as it is or similar.

    "Against the same perks":

    It is called 'META', meaning "Most Effective Tactics Available". It's an age old gaming tradition to min/max for efficiency. Simply try to pick perks that counter-META.

    I happen to be an oddball survivor that just runs each characters perks + 1 that combines with them like on rebecca stakeout to help with healing and hyperfocus. On dwigght id use bottony because his 3 are alredy well rounded but lack healing etc. Keeps each character feeling like a new playstyle. Im not a fan of meta

    do you even realize that 90% of survivour perks are compleet waste if a slot because if they do as extend any amount the other side complains so it just goes round and round same thing on killer a swell I only ever se the same 9 to 12 perk that it pop,pain,grim,deadlock,BBQ,No we're to hide, I Rembert a year ago EVERONE EVER GAME RAN STBFL BECASEU IT WAS THE BOST BS BROKEN PERK IN THE GAME if ever killer and their mom would stop crutch on the most op build ever game u might see some diffrent builds on survivours but it both goes hand in hand and bring diffrent perk mean nothing most of the time becasue killer can force a win a 5 gen so easily now a day becasue it take too long to heal

    solo q is almost unplayble without woo lmfao so many ppl don't know how not to use pallets and it become a giant deadzone woo is the closest perk that you get to get the same info that you would get in a swf as long they don't fix that woo will always be at the top

    Theres currently a modifier that gives random builds to everyone. We recommend enjoying it for the few days left.

    This is most definitely not a “survivor” problem. Killers use the same perk builds as well. It’s more of “DBD Meta, wins over variety” problem. You trying to turn this into a way to discredit the struggles of survivors or to prop them up as some kind of hive mind points to hypocrisy and having a strong bias that disregards simple fact.
