Playing survivor while being a killer main

I played survivor today after not touching the role for quite some time. Months, maybe a year and even then I still only played for a day before going back to killer.

Solo que to clarify. First thing I found funny was how easy it was to not be seen so long as you moved around obstacles the right way, even if the killer is actively searching the area.

First few games pretty good, even escaped. Then it happened, the DC's after being hooked once and someome else quitting as a result, then the last player going next on hook. I was the last one and I abandoned once I got downed.

Next game, another DC after being downed. A lot people seem to not like going down or hooked, and it kind of just ruins the game sometimes. If people actually just played, then maybe they would enjoy the game more. Maybe escape more than they think if they didn't quit.

    This is the main reason I only ever play with friends. It is simply not fun to play when you are given such an incredible disadvantage just due to somebody not being able to tolerate being hooked.

    I find it really exciting to play both roles. I also prefer to play Survivor, but this way you get to know the strengths and weaknesses of the killers better and improve enormously as a Survivor. On the other hand, as a killer you also get to know the survivors' routes and their different behaviors better. This is definitely better than always playing just one side. 🙂

    This is a game were for most survivor 1000hrs is nothing. Most cant loop properly , most don't know all killers powers and most cant handle anti loop killers. This ignoring all instadowns and stealth perks.

    The game has a awfull balance issues that Will never BE fixed. So players quit expecting a better game that wont happen.

    Many survs just want to afk on gens while nea loops a killer for 5 gens.

    Ther s a popular English streamer with 5000hrs i wont mentionthat is pretty bad at looping and game decisions. 5000hrs.

    Meanwhile i have seen very rarely survivors with 500hrs that are 1000x better than him at the game.
