Honest frustrations from a wannabe killer main

Gonna be a rant here, I will put a TL;DR at the end.

Ok so just coming off yet another pig game with no kills against red ranks (despite being rank 11 with like, 1 teachable) has made me realize why people DC. Because why should I, a player with around 40 hours and no real skill at the game, have to deal with players who are leagues above myself, without any means of stopping them. For what, a reward of 10k blood points, which gives me around 1/4 of a killer level in the blood web. Gee in 4 games ill have enough to see if I can finally get one of those meta perks on the next level or if its another base perk that finally gets to be level 3 despite being more useless then sloppy butcher on Plague.

Sure I know I need to "Get good", but its hard to do that when I'm playing with the literal cream of the crop who out pace and mind-game me 47-1. which brings me onto another thing, blood point rewards in general, why the heck are they so low?! BBQ makes them bearable but that's if you even get it on a killer who can even get BP's to begin with, and even then am I just supposed to only play them until I have everything I need? In that case why not just main that killer? Oh right! because its super boring, and as someone who's fave killer is Pig, who by far has so many problems its not even funny, I feel those losses most of all.

Honestly every game I play pushes me closer and closer to just uninstalling and never returning, its just frustration after frustration and if I take a break I wont come back. The only times I have had fun in this game is when the double blood point events were going on, which made me feel like I was progressing at a reasonable rate.

Now I could be mad at the perks I keep going up against, SB, Dead hard, DS, unbreakable, the list goes on and on and on. I dont mind them to be honest, what I hate is the looping, the endless chases around killer shack, the 3 minute loops around jungle gyms, over and over and over and over. So by the time I down 1 survivor, 3 gens have been completed and the last two are across the map being worked on already. Tunneling doesn't work because of counter perks, so I'm just left knowing "Oh whelp that survivor wont be going back on the hook for the rest of the game haha guess I lose!"

Yah I suck at the game, but being called bad, the constant teasing from survivors, and the general toxicity for not being good enough at the ranks the game shoved me into, really kills any desire for me to keep playing. 40 hours in I have 2 good teachable's (BBQ Monitor), yet I have 20 more to get and I earn 1/160 of one each match. so why bother playing at that point.

TL;DR blood point gain lackluster, looped at nausium, crapped on for still learning, whats the point.

    Ifu want, feel free to contact me, i can try to give u some hints for playing killer to improve, but conclusing: the game isnt fun for new killers at all, regarding the matchmaking and other issues with the game in the current state.

    Honestly, I know that feeling and what I recommend is don't use pig right now. Pig is a killer that requires skill, you should begin with killers such as Trapper or Freddy or even Hag, killers that are easy to play with and that can shut down loops with their abilities at least until you learn how to mindgame survivors and outplay them. When I began playing this game the first killer I tried was Billy and I couldn't do sh1t, I was getting owned and teabagged every single game so I switched to Trapper, learnt how to mindgame and moonwalk and all that stuff and now it's been two years and the only killer I can't play is Nurse (because I play on Xbox and we all know how frustrating that is lmfao)

    Don't even bother.. Because the devs doesn't even play their game.. All they want is your money.. I mean only f00ls would buy cosmetics nowadays while the game is so unbalance on survivors favor.. so don't even bother.. Just quit the game like I did since Ruin Nerf..
