I tried to get back into killer and it didn’t go well…
this is probably gonna be my final update on this but I’ve been going on some spiritual journey or whatever you call this sort of thing in DBD of me transitioning from Killer to Survivor because the killer experience has been nothing but miserable for me recently, so I tried playing survivor for a change and I actually winning most of my games and actually started having fun with the role. However, recently I tried to get back into the killer role by mainly playing a few games a variety of builds and killers (and by killers I mainly mean the ones I actually enjoyed like springtrap and skull merchant but trust me I played a few others like wesker, singularity, and vecna) and the builds I ran consisted of Chase oriented builds, slowdown oriented builds, info oriented builds, and a mix of all three and I did this for several games and if I am being completely honest I hated every moment of it. 80% of my games consisted of me getting one down and then three generators popped at once and I usually end with one end with zero to two kills by the end of it. And the other 20% the survivors just made mistakes or just DC’d all because they weren’t getting their way. and after all this I just wonder, why did I bother trying get back into a role that has given me the most miserable games possible for two months straight? And hell it’s even worse now since conviction and fog vials exist now because that’s just what I needed for my poor hearing, an item that makes it worse. And if that wasn’t enough, the two killers I do play the most being skull merchant in springtrap are on the weaker end of the spectrum and haven’t really gotten better. Skull merchant was Nerfed on purpose to prepare for her for a rework that no one wanted in Springtrap got three of his best add-ons Nerfed and got basically nothing in return. And you know it real quick while we’re on the topic of Skull merchant remember how they nerfed her because of how strong the haste and hinder difference was? Yeah, that aged like milk considering what they did to clown. So after literally everything I just said am I still going to even bother with killer? I’m gonna be honest. I have no clue. Ok literally the only occasions I would ever play killer again is if
A. A new killer comes out.
B. The merchant rework comes out and is good.
C. Fog vial gets nerfed
But aside from those few instances I have zero real reason to actually play killer again aside from those few examples. which sucks cause I like Skull Merchant, I like Springtrap, I like Vecna, hell I even like Wesker to an extent but I seriously can’t bring myself to playing killer again after all of this because why bother playing Such a stress inducing role when survivor is so much easier and relaxing? But yeah thats it, see ya.

I'm currently playing an even mixture of both. If the official stats are too trusted, I'm at 45% escape and 67% kill for the last 30 days, so doing okay at both. I think killer is more frustrating and I enjoy it less, yeah, and survivor is more relaxed, but I don't think that makes it easier. I go in expecting death. That's what makes it chiller. As killer, the match revolves around you and I feel like I have to perform. Miss a beat and the game is lost. But as survivor someone can do nothing for a whole minute and it doesn't necessarily destroy the match.
I have a similar experience in killer matches. I don't know how I get into one brief chase and 3 gens are done. In soloq, I work on a gen while watching the HUD and my teammates aren't doing a single thing. Where is all that efficiency I see on the killer side? I have to assume I'm going against parties who actually know how to play, whereas on solo I'm getting lord knows who. And yeah, then there's the opposite, where the match is an immediate disaster for survivors I face and it's boring. The midrange killer matches are getting rarer.

Honestly, they’re like a few possible answers on why three generators are getting done in one Chase like I feel like there are a few possible answers
- since Survivor spawn logic changed people are more inclined to run the perk prove thy self
- Survivors are splitting is just a much more common strategy now
- the power of sheer will
But that’s just what I think

My poor hearing is definitely my fault if that’s what you’re referring to.

yea i don't blame ya
i hid the game from my steam library i legit don't wanna even look at this game lol
it has become a unbalanced unpressurable buggy stressful mess of game for killer unless u tunnel which most killers do these days u aren't winning
literally 2 gens will pop in the first chase instead of the usual one
game is overtuned yet i still have surivors insta rage cuz im playing a certain killer which just kills my mood to play this game even more, e
sound is also beyond buggy tbh, survivors just randomly go quiet i thought i was losing my mind until i realized i also lose bots
even youtubers don't wanna touch this mess right now tbh
just take a break for now and i hope to see your around in the fog again <3

Thx, I honestly appreciate the understanding 👍

The spawn change is pretty inconsistent. If you use lethal Pursuer, youll see that survivors often times DONT spawn togethereven when there's no shrouds.

yeah a bit over the top, it's not that bad even in rough games I often get 2 kills, it's just dbd the lows are low and the highs are high

Why did you even comment? You contributed nothing to to the discussion and just took this as an opportunity to flame a killer player. And in this case someone who said in their post that they already struggle due to a hearing disability. Simply disgusting and low on your part.
I have far more respect for players like OP who struggle but at least attempt to play killer and get better than people like you who don’t play killer at all and just come to this forum with the sole purpose of inflaming the “us vs them” toxicity.Post edited by I_Cant_Loop on4 -
this is honestly extremely kind of you to say, I genuinely can’t think of the words to say how much I appreciate this
