My killing days are over
Lately I haven't been able to kill a soul unless I camp them. I keep getting gen rushed while im chasing then i keep going against red ranks and rank ones even though im rank 11. Or i lose if i get a ######### map like cold wind or auto haven cuz they have so many pallets I don't know what to do anymore i can't play killer.

I'm with you mate. I am far less inclined to play as killer these days.
It is a shame, but unfortunately killer games are just not fun anymore.
The atrocious match-matching, the abhorrent behaviour of red rank survivors and complete unbalanced gameplay are turning killer players away.
What a sad state the game is in.

You're not alone in how you feel. There are a lot of players unhappy with the role of killer right now.
You're probably going to get some "git gud" responses to your post, and some people telling you to take a break and play a different game. Those are options. A third option is finding a way to have your own fun with the role.
If you play to screw around or meme, then killer can still be fun. Is that a good solution? No, it's completely asinine that playing the game the way it's supposed to be played is often not fun. But if you want to earn BP and killer is the shorter queue, then putting on Clown with Distressing and just chasing one survivor all match throwing bottles at them is not only a good way to earn Chase and Deviousness, it's also hilarious as they scream over and over again.
There are other ways besides that to have your own fun. Try changing your goals, like just hooking each survivor once or using Franklin's to make sure no one leaves with an item. Try to keep everyone injured all game. See if you can get them to throw down every single pallet on the map. I used to play Totem Protector Bubba where my entire goal was to keep Hex: Ruin up for all five gens (back before they changed Ruin).
If you decide to completely stop playing this game, then I envy you and your ability to quit this addictive ode to masochism.

Don't worry, there are a lot of players who feel like you. Don't force yourself to find fun in playing killer.
Playing killer doesn't make you feel good, so stick to playing survivor or play another game. Playing a video game should bring you enjoyment.

I love when killers come together to agree on the unfairness in this terrible game..it’s quite wholesome.

I'm a survivor main, always have been. I rarely play killer nowadays because it has gotten too stressful.

This remind me of mordikaiser which also makes me want a killer with the thematic of a possessed armor.
That or an oni skin making him look like a possessed armor.
Btw being serious idk what to say the devs really don't seem to care about the fun or the stress of the killer role at all.

The awful matchmaking is really hurting newer killers. I was in an all red rank lobby yesterday and we got paired with a rank 15 killer.
Had to message them after and apologize. Its so unfair.

It's really funny to me because I'm the opposite I started playing killer more since the ruin change and it's been great I've only had 2 survivors escape in my last 10 matches

What rank are you rank 20 killer? and i get matched with red ranks

I'm green but I had 25/40 red rank survivors in those matches also.

I feel like 90% of the community is kinda done with killer it's bad Behavior really Behaviored their game yet again how i will never understand how a company can continue to make the same mistakes and get away with them in all honesty.

what is even more incredible is the silence of the devs regarding this mess.
Game got clearly broken after last patch and,besides some entitled survs and some new players, everyone saw his fun level decrease drastically.
If I was a dev I'd be worried to see players base decrease drastically. But they keep on not addressing the problem and,most of all, no one said they will fix anything regarding this.
Personally I started to play it much less than before, and as soon as a good alternative comes out (RE:resistance,maybe?) I will quit this game.

The playercount isn't dropping, so I assume the devs don't see the need for changes.

because lots of killers just stopped playing killer and switched to survs, that's why queue time differ so much,imo

yeah, there's only one strategy now, injure survivors while keeping track of each one. Oh yeah, and keep track of their decisive strikes, and their dead hard timers. Oh yeah, keep track of each gen that has been recently visited/worked on.
I swear to god, it's like they don't hire mathematicians to do the balancing.

You wasnt around a few years ago when a lot of surv stuff was nerfed and every surv and their grandmother was crying endlessly were you.
I mean when they nerfed flashlights in 2018 the crying was insane and there were group "boycotts" until flashlights were fixed. Happens everyone one side feels hard done by.

Im a red rank survivor, and the fun just isnt there anymore when i play survivor. Its not scary, its not a challenge. Most games now are endless tunneling or camping because 2 gens get done within a minute and i honestly cannot blame the killer anymore. Its frustrating no doubt but playing killer now is non stop stress and annoying. Its just not fun anymore and thats the point of video games.

I started playing almost all Killer, because of the queue times. I'm prestiging a bunch of my Killers though, so the quick matches = more BP. Even when I get rekt, I get a bunch of BP so it's a reasonable situation. Survivor queues aren't too bad at the times I play, but 3-5 seconds for a match playing Killer is too tasty to pass up.
I stopped playing for real though. Most of the time I'll just play chill and let the gens get rushed to oblivion. I get enough points to keep me happy, but if I managed to get things snowballing, I'll go a bit harder to get more kills. If it's one of those 2-3 gens popped as I get my first down, I sometimes just wander into a corner and tab out for a while. Much more relaxing that way.
I wanted to work on the Adept Achievements I am missing, but ffs... the gens get done way too fast for me to gimp myself with trash Perks. Survivor is easy AF since you just need to escape. Trying to get Merciless Killer with Lullaby, Territorial, and Beast of Prey would be a nightmare. Have a few Survivor ones I need though, so I might work on those for a bit when I need a break from Killer matches.

i said it before and I say it again.
The killer role biggest problem has ALWAYS been a sense that the level of skill to match the oposing team also feels greatly asyemmtrical, which is the one thing that needs not to be in a asyemmtrical pvp game otherwise you get this. Gitting gud or talking about stats or kill rates or whatever won't change this. Killers could get 4K most of the time and this issue would still presist as is.
The game is just so empty and needs a massive quality of life update. With thingsl ike new obstacles, loot and a refocuse on survivors interacting with enviromental plan-and hazards- other objectives. Stuff that takes all the weight of the match purely off the killer. Most of the killers even in their debatable states would be effective if it weren't just a loop and m1 fest with aboslutely nothing in it at all.
Hell even some new offerings that actually change the game besides from moris and fog would be a massive improvement.

Been here since release and tbh the flashlight nerf was definitely needed, being blind instantly while in your pickup animation was wayyy easy at the time with how big the beam of the flashlight was. Now it actually requires some big brain thinking and I little bit of aim.
But where you here when there where infinite’s, how survivors could abuse a loop endlessly, like the one on cold wind or suffocation pit? Ntm how every window was open also? Which made those loops even more miserable to follow through..
yep, dbd has come a long way..with two step forward and one steps back.

It wont help. I stopped playing killer when the nurse got nerfed. I deranked back to 18 and Im still facing R1s. The best thing we can do for this game is stop playing. If enough of us do it the survivors wont have a game and they will leave. Once that happens then the devs will be forced into action if they want to keep their cash cow alive. Cause it's clear they dont give a ######### about us killers.
The problem is there hardly is any competition for dbd besides last year and ft13. Last year is okay and friday kinda died with the law suit. Had there been another competitor the devs might actually fear losing their player basis.

The only thing the devs will take away from this is "If the killers aren't having fun, then the survivors are. Keep doing what we're doing."

Yeah I hear you, still play killer but now I enjoy swf more. I do well enough, i cant quite put my finger on it but something is off, I guess the gens pop too quick at the beginning and cause stress, and I dont even really care about doing super great I just want a gg. Gen speeds make it tough to not sweat. It feels pretty ######### to start with a massive handicap

I totallu agree, actually I realized killers started to slug,tunnel and camp because basically keeping at least a surv "hostage" is the only way to slow down a game,especially if you're playing against swf.
On the other end, it's haooening wuite often to complete games as surv without even meeting the killer which is something that didn't happen to me since 2017, and imo this is the worse thing ever.

It's all just BS, ya know? I miss the old doc. I miss being able to play Wraith and have a good time. I miss the struggle, the clashing of skill and prowess, my desire to kill them vs their will to survive. All that is gone now. The game literally just became an abuse simulator.
