Why would people play survivor in this game ?
When as killer:
You get more fun perks.
You dont have to rely on 3 others.
You have devs attention when it comes to balance.
You get more blood points as killer, so your time spent in this game is more efficient.
You get more good perks.
I see little to no reason to play survivor unless its in a SWF in the state of the game right now.

In before all the down-votes.
Killer is definitely very fun to play now in comparison with DBD's past.
I always preferred Survivor, but I played a lot of Killer too.
I don't really find enjoyment in the game anymore. So I rarely play nowadays.

I play as survivor with my friends because it's easier to chit char and play survivor than to have them in my party talking while I'm trying to kill.
Solo survivor is pretty boring most times.
Killer is not fun to me really either, but those bloodpoints are hard to pass up on. And at least there is variety.

"you have devs attention when it comes to balance"
Are you sure about that?
25 -
While they still aren't listening to a majority of people's feedback you can't deny that we have their attention now MoM was nerfed it needed one. Pallet vacuum was taken away thank god. Exhaustion was nerfed this was the most needed thing of them all. Hatch can now be closed.
There are plenty of reasons to play Survivor one is because the chase can primarily be fun as survivor if you are actually decent at the game. If I have bad teammates that go down in 10 seconds then I will take aggro and run the killer around instead giving them a chance to get gens done. Survivor has a ton of fun perks as well like I run No Mither almost all my games for that added challenge, running No mither builds are a lot of fun. "You get little blood points as survivor compared to killer" Well that is because the killer has to interact with all the survivors plus when a survivor has a bad game they die and can get into another one. The killer has to sit the whole game whether they are having a bad game or not.

Please stop with the bait threads.
If you don't enjoy playing survivor, then just play killer.
No one forces you to play a role you don't like.

[Quote]You get more blood points as killer, so your time spent in this game is more efficient.[/Quote]
That is not true. You probably get more bloodpoints per game but if you take bllodpoints per hour it's roughly the same.

Oof that was a pretty subtle jab at killer queue times

Because it's more relaxing than playing killer and I can do it with my friends. I also get BP more consistently, and even if I have a ######### trial, it's still fun to spectate my friends while chatting with them.

You're the only on here not contributing to the discussion so take your own advice.
I would like to hear what the community thinks about playing survivor and im sure others do too.
0 -
@jeyers you know my opinion. I already explained it on your other threads.
But sure, I'll repeat myself.
Killers and survivors get roughly the same amount of bloodpoints per hour. I even posted screenshots of me as survivor getting more points than the killer. If you have a bad match as survivor and die early, just move on to the next match. Killer has to wait until everyone left or died.
Could you elaborate on those fun killer perks?
Just get some friends and play with them. They'll be more reliable.

Playing as survivor is chill and relaxing while its the killer side constantly under pressure and game is still balanced in favour of survivors (which is not that bad, we need more survivors than killers).
I play killer when i can afford focusing on game.
I play survivor while watching/eating/drinking something. Which is most of the time due to my work schedule and constantly beeing tired kek.

I have a feeling you are going for the record on most downvotes in a set time period or more than anyone has ever managed to achieve as yet with posts like this.
2 -
I like playing survivor, and I am almost a killer main, I like killer for the challenge and survivor because it's much more chill to play
I went from toxic survivor main (Not proud of those times) to killer main and now I play both sides but mostly killers
I played long enough to not care about BP too much and usually I don't care if the other survivors are bad, I get pissed off only when they make mistakes that get me killed
There are still a ton of good and fun perks on the survivor side for any playstyle
"You have devs attention when it comes to balance" About ######### time

Breaking ankles is fun. That's literally it. The chases.
I feel like it takes more skill to get away from a killer as a survivor than it does to play killer and catch a survivor.
As survivor, I'm always thinking "CAN I get away from this killer, or at least stall them long enough for my team to get things done.
As killer, I just think "I'm GOING to catch this person, it's only a matter of time." Things feel more guaranteed and therefore not as fun or thrilling

The only feature which killers have expressly and notably requested, which has made it into the game, is the hatch-closing mechanic.
It was however only implemented alongside the introduction of EGC, which completely defeats the purpose killers wanted hatch-closing for. Brilliant.
But sure, say that killers are listened to by the devs.

Mettle of Man - from a dlc costing money = destroyed perk now.
But from what i read ppl say only play surv if u can SWF wich makes sens ofc.
And i havent seen those pics showing the bp gain is about the same so please contribute and link them.

Sorry, I was just listing some stuff that was nerfed to #########.

Legion and Freddy say, "What's up?"

Survivor is more fun.

if killer was completely devoid of that feeling the game would be in a lot of trouble considering how many times you have to down everybody to win

Solo survivor is the only way I play this game lol

I have fun with survivor because of their perks. Quick and Quiet and Head on are really fun. Sabo builds are fun as well :P

Don't you ever get tired of bait posting?

2 out of 5 are facts, with 1 of them being debatable.

Sadly we become the wrong kind of attention :|.
But with the mom nerf you survivors got finaly a idea what it means to get "attention"^^.
That's at least somehow fair.
But btt. I have play survivor when I needed a chill round after playing killer. But thanks to the attention we killers got with the Legion patch, I have stopped playing since then.
1 -
On one i survived, on the other one i got caught by Myers insta mori.
0 -
Obvious bait is obvious, please stop.
Just looking at patch history proves that you couldn't be more wrong with almost all your points.
2 -
I sort of understand what u trying to say but no.
You made 20k that one game and 2 others made less then 7k combined. Kinda shows how survivor points are not the same rate gained as killers get.
Same as pic nr.2, 3 other survivors got way less then killer for the match they played.
0 -
Well, if people fail to interact with the killer, and do nothing but gens.
You missed the point of the Myers game. He has a addon that lets him mori a survivor. No hook required.
You'll find this in one of 100+ matches
1 -
Not everyone can get time with the killer as there is a limited amount of pallets on each map so at least 2 survivor per game will not gain the points you had there.
1 -
@altruistic Well yeah, this entire forum is just one giant Killer echo chamber.
1 -
We couldn't laugh at survivor-memes if it was an echo-chamber. Killers like to discuss stuff, survivors just demand sweeping changes with barely any discussion or testing.
5 -
Some from both sides demand and others discuss. Don’t act like one side is the only one with people demanding things.
1 -
Statistics are not invalidated by single data points.
2 -
Well that is the mentality in wich we in the dbd community has to do and deal with.
You can look at the killer mains in this thread alone calling me names when i point out the obvious flaws and unbalanced meta that favor 1 side. Ofc that side will "downvote" who talks about brining some balance and fun for everyone to enjoy the meta.
0 -
Yes, I have demanded that once a reason for a change is gone, the change itself should also be gone, because if something is buffed due to a counter being too strong, and then the counter is removed while the thing remains the same, then that thing is too strong now.
Killer demands usually have some reasoning behind them, balance being chief among them. Survivor demands usually just involve whatever the survivor lost to in the last 30 seconds.
2 -
I don’t think either side is heavily favored.
0 -
Then why do killers still have NOED ? hmmmm ;)
Devs can destroy MoM so survivor cant have "easy" escape.
But not NOED so killers can keep easy down. Well that is just one of many reasons for devs to favor one side more.
The longer queue times i think is because ppl dont wana play surv anymore. why is that?
1 -
Break the totems. NOED has a clear and easy counter.
As for the queue times, you know why they're long. It's been explained to you a million times. So I'm left to wonder why you're pretending not to know.
2 -
I play solo survivor almost every time. Yeah, you can get stuck with potatoes and have a bad match but when you get a good crew it can be very fun. I try to play killer too but usually during a 2x BP event, as yes killers do tend to rack up more points than survivors sometimes.
2 -
I criticise other killer-mains. I tell them "don't become like survivor-mains". The two sides are not the same; the Patrician is not like the Pleb just because they're both Romans.
Kilers always request a PTB for any new feature. Survivors know they don't need to; the toys they get never come with a sting-in-the-tail.
As your exchange with Orion shows; killers don't just demand stuff because they want things to go their own way, but because there should be some consistency and underlying principle to how decisions are made. Survivors are repulsed by discussion along those lines though, hence why both here and the Steam forum are 'killer echo-chambers'. Survivors exclude themselves because they can't be reasonable.
1 -
Slugging is a counter. You’ve said before that you’re a survivor main so by your logic your demands have no reasoning.
0 -
Let me make this as simple as I can.
Devs: Decisive Strike's stun was perfect without Enduring, but too short with Enduring, so we've increased it to 5 seconds.
Devs: Enduring no longer affects Decisive Strike.
Devs: Decisive Strike's stun at 5 seconds is perfect.
Me: If it was perfect at 3 seconds, it can't be perfect at 5 seconds. Now that Enduring no longer affects it, it should go back to 3 seconds.
As for what you pretended my logic is, you'll note I used the word "usually". Twice, in fact. And I already told you that statistics are not invalidated by single data points. The fact that someone inevitably wins the lottery doesn't mean it's a sure thing.
1 -
Me and plenty of other survivor mains on this forum are willing to discuss.
0 -
With a vast gulf in what standards are regarded as adequate. Survivor-memes exist for a reason, they are all derived from direct-quotes of things survivors have unironically said and there are no killer-equivalents, though survivors really try with nonsense like 'why do killers just want 4k?'.
1 -
A lot of people say that DS is say is balanced. Just because you think someone is an X main doesn’t make it true, kinda like when people call you a nurse main .
0 -
We don't know for sure. Are u a dev with information on their queue numbers ?
I read suggestions from users here sure, but we dont know the true numbers game.
Later this week if queue are still bad we can say i was right tho as no more double bp.

Why are you always crying in your posts?
