My thoughts on this game after playing it for over 2000 hours
Been playing this game since its 1 year anniversary about equally on both killer and survivor side. This game for me has done nothing but go down hill since then. In the beginning, it was fun. With points being how to pip as well being your currency, you could afford to play fair(meaning little to no camping from killers as well as survivors doing little to no pallet looping/infinite using at all) on either side and have a good shot at gaining both rank and points whether you won or lost. Nowadays, on survivor side, if you don't hog everything there is to do when it comes to saves and gens and totally abuse infinites and pallet loops, you lose rank and sometimes better point gain. On killer side, if you don't tunnel and camp to some degree you lose rank and depending on severity of the camping and tunneling you do, you usually don't gain a lot of points doing so and can lose a pip if the survivor was a god at running you for all 5 gens. What does this mean for the game as a whole? No fun to be had for anyone in my view. Camping and tunneling often forces survivors to lose a pip or merely saftey pip cause they were tunneld to the point of death or, if they were a god at the chase, only get to take an exit gate in the end. Also, survivors who are camped and tunneled usually don't really gain a lot of points on top of it all. This is probably why dc's are so rampant nowadays because they know they gain nothing from facing a killer who camps and tunnels them. And with all this, fewer survivors ranking up because camping/tunneling(cause its the only way killers can rank up anymore) leading to higher numbers of survivors dcing/depipping/only saftey pipping, killers at high rank have longer wait times to get a game. For me, when I play killer, I work hard to get my catches and am more rewarded with points than I am with rank. So, how do we play this game again? When I play survivor, why is it I only gain a pip(even if I died) when the killer played fair and good, but the killer mostly only ever saftey pips or depips? What?
Now, I get why the emblem system came to be. But as it is now, it doesn't seem to be promoting a healthy state for this game. My thoughts when choosing to play this game nowadays; if I want points I play killer. If I just want to hang out with a killer(referring to being camped) because I am so lonely playing a killer(so many dc's), I will play survivor. Not much fun left to be had for me devs. =( This game is now purely for the those who get a kick out of being cancer and the tryhards only. I just want to have fun and enjoy myself when I play any game. And this game doesn't permit this anymore for me. =(
