Why shouldn't all killers quit tomorrow?
This is a sincere question because I wonder how this game is going to live when killers get miss threated to a point where playing killer makes you more frustrated then happy
To point out some issues
Grab animation hasn't been fixed and it's worse then ever
Totem spawns hasn't been changed on 60% of the maps
Totems can still spawn on line of sight of generators
Swfs are still a thing and there is no real reason any killer would want to go against one
Gens are getting done too quickly, you can have the shortest chase in your life and when you reach the hook you'll sill be able to lose 3 generators
Ds is still a dominating perk, where survivors are imune to do whatever they want for 1 minute
Matchmaking is broken, and now it will be hidden to "solve" this issue
This are issues out of the top of my head, and it shouldn't be this easy to come up with issues in the game. If all of the killer community leaves the game, survivors won't have anyone to play against, meaning the game will die. There clearly is a survivor bias when a killer bug gets untouched for soo long, while a survivor bug gets fixed within 2 weeks.
Hell when the wake up perk bug was happening no one got banned and nothing got done regarding that, but with the legion bug players would actually get banned
I just want to enjoy playing killer and survivor, because at this point I might as well become a survivor main since thats where all the focus is going

I'm new, so I haven't dealt with all of this as long as probably any other killer main here- take my answer with a grain of salt.
SWFs doesn't bother me unless it's clear they're just trying to bully me; obviously that's no fun. There isn't much to be done about that, though, and that's something that just sort of happens in gaming.
I agree that generator speed and DS is annoying as Hell, but moreso generator speed. DS is at least something that can eventually be handled, but something needs to be done about generators.
And finally, I haven't had a problem with grab, matchmaking, or totems, but again, I haven't been playing nearly as long as most others so it's probably just something I haven't noticed.
Anyway, nothing is perfect, and despite popular belief, I think the devs do pay attention, but with a 1-to-4 ratio of killers-to-survivors, yeah, the bigger playerbase is totally gonna have the ball in their patch court much longer. It's just a game, funky mechanics or not, and if enough people truly do get fed up enough to stop playing, things will change, but as it is, it's not that bad.
TL;DR; I have fun even though it's not perfect, but I agree some things need reworking for the long run.

Because the game is not as bad as people say it is, sure there are glitches and bugs and maybe the gen speeds are too fast but its still possible to win. plus i am a really competitive person so i like to be challenged.( i sweat my butt off when i play pretty much and im fine with it.)

Because it's still possible to have some fun in this broken mess of a game.

Because some of us have fun playing killer? Just because we get "gen rushed" and SWF exists it doesn't mean it's a constant problem. If you're good at DbD you can win 95% of your matches as killer with any killer as long as you've practiced them enough.
Watch a good DbD killer player like scott and zubat for one stream and see how many bad games they have. The number will be very low compared to the fast 4ks

Killer is difficult. No doubt about it. But I still find it fun. What makes it fun is the constant need to improve and optimize as a killer. Whenever I get frustrated, I take a deep dive into a new killer or playstyle. Lately, Nurse has been the answer for me. It's different for everyone. I think plently of killers are still viable in the current meta, you just might have to play a super clean game to win. I 3 and 4k with Myers more often than not at red ranks, and he starts off at 105% ms. You have to be efficient as killer in chase and in between chase.

Because some people still enjoy it. These forums love to be negative and complain, me included in most cases, and most of the positive posts (or posts asking people to be positive) are just ignored.
I, personally, enjoy playing killer. Wraith, Doc, and Freddy are the 3 I love the most, and I'm slowly but surely working my way to P3 50 all perks on them (done on my boi freddy).
It isn't half as bad as people say; I don't actually see that many people who love to gen rush, or the swf death squads we love to hypothesis about, or really anything I see complained about en masse here.
So why would I quit, when I find it fun?

Why quit tomorrow when you can quite TODAY
15 -
Sometimes it's possible to have fun BECAUSE it's a broken mess of a game. Every now and again, you get a glitch or big that proves more amusing or entertaining than frustrating.
1 -
cause not all games are as bad as many here love to pretent they were.
yeah some games are really stupid (e.g. with a dedicated genrush group), but most are fine.
1 -
gens get done fast? dude i cant even get a team to touch a damn gen lol, my advice, step back from the game... i have to take breaks quite often from it or id go insane, my teams are trash. not trying to be mean but they dont do anything at all and shouldnt be near red rank and then when playing killer i have to turn messaged off to avoid unneeded messages, SWF are so common not that i blame them but its not well balanced to high level swf. New chapter out on the 3rd so take a few days break and come back with the new chapter feeling fresh

If you aren't having fun, quit playing. For real. This isn't salty. Stop doing something you don't like doing just because you've invested time in it.

Because DBD is a drug and we’re the addicts. We know the game isn’t the best, we know it’s bad, and we know it’s stressful. No matter how hard we try to quit and say “i’m done with this” we keep coming back. Only the lucky few get off DBD. 😔

The problem is the gens fly way too fast, and there's way too many second chance perks for survivors, and there allowed to make MULTIPLE mistakes and still escape. You pretty much make ONE mistake as a killer, and its GG ez unless your facing taters. That's the problem...
0 -
Because you don't speak for all killers? Some killers are still having fun with the game.
3 -
I did quit . Played everynight before I lost faith.
Ques for games got longer on ps4
2 -
I will tell you why killers won't quit at all, because about 80% of my solo surv matches still end in 4Ks. And that's because the majority plays solo and even when it's against SWF there are a lot of bad ones. That are the real facts because that's exactly what I experience in my matches. But people still whine in the forum about non-existing problems which just always SMH.

This. over 23,000 people play the game but apparently he speaks for all of them, when only maybe 3k of those 23k visit the forums. lol

Personally, I quit playing a few weeks ago. I'm keeping an eye out for any patch notes that make me feel like any of the major issues have been resolved before trying again.

Its not like Killers have it that bad as this forum wants to show it...

Omg yes

Straight truth. I played 5 killer games today and double pipped each time.
Ps4. Rank 11 killer. Purple and red survivors all day. Most gens got done was 3.
5 -
Because not everyone shares your opinions. Simple.
1 -
Playing killer isn’t as bad as the loud forum majority here would have everyone believe.
Gens are fast, yes.
Survivors have second chance perks, yes.
Some loops/windows are dumb, yes.
But it’s all manageable if you play correctly.
5 -
Because I still have more than enough fun with the game to want to keep playing.
2 -
just accept the fact, you cant play killer and done. I did accept it as a old "Mainkiller", and actually i do really enjoy the survivor being, i didnt felt any stress or frustration past 2 weeks, as survivor....
As Killer i was almost each Match yelling at my screen because of the Shitshow this game turned into.
0 -
Because I already quit.

theres enough alternatives these days... game comes, games go, thats how it goes nowadays... I do have plenty other games to invest my money and time onto then dbd... I do login each pair of days, play my own game, and when i feel (happens after 2-3 matches) i get stressed, or i want to play other games, i do it and done. BHVR cant feel untouchable because they arent. Yes, they created a milestone, but with the actual strategy theyre following, they wont go far if they dont hire plentys of new players, because veterans are more then frustrated already. Except these "game is sooooo easy cuz im survivor git gud" Survivors, if i was considered a Main Survivor since beginning, i couldnt hav had any reason to complain at all.... but they dont understand how it feels as a killer... and none of them, did show after a "git gud" HOW TO git gud...
then they select the one youtube video of a 0,0001% streamer, which made a very lucky gameplay against potatoes, and show it as "proof" and "legit"...
Ridiculous these peeps with 2 braincells.....

OP , just a suggestion - try playing some survivor and maybe you will see that it's not that easy on the other side.
It's kinda funny how you think "all killer community" is only players who play ONLY killer. Hell , I play killer and survivorI would never want to be in any of those "communities" if it consists of people who think they have to get easy games all the time and are whining the moment they lose. Both survivor and killer "mains" crying about stuff they don't know because they didn't play the other side enough. Why should anyone even care abotu what you think if you only play one side and barely touched the other?
Have you even tried some other competitive games that are "balanced"? I guess you didn't because you would complain about losing a game here and there.
It's just silly how some of the "killer mains" who never touch survivor feel so entitled to win 99.9% of their games because they think they are the best or something.

Just as a direct response to your specific issues you listed.
Grab animation hasn't been fixed and it's worse then ever
Yeah, this sucks pretty bad but is more a server issue and giving survivor movement priority over the killer grab. You can still grab through windows easily but otherwise, yeah it sucks sometimes and I do hope they change something with how it calculates if you got the grab or not.
Totem spawns hasn't been changed on 60% of the maps
Totems can still spawn on line of sight of generators
I personally don't have any issues with totems. Yeah, sometimes you get unlucky and have a really bad spot but even if totems are really well hidden, once you know the spawn locations it doesn't matter anyway. It's a quick check and the entire tile is covered whether good or bad. Against experienced players it doesn't matter where the totems are as they'll be found quick with perks helping as well. I do think messing with totem spawns might help some newer killers though since they'll stay up longer.
Swfs are still a thing and there is no real reason any killer would want to go against one
I honestly don't think SWF groups are as big a deal as people make them out to be. Yes, you may get a death squad every now and then, no your standard SWF is not some unbeatable force of nature. Most of the time they tend to be overly altruistic, just mess around or are just standard level players. I'll take a normal SWF over a group of experienced solo players anyday.
Gens are getting done too quickly, you can have the shortest chase in your life and when you reach the hook you'll sill be able to lose 3 generators
No argument there, gens go quick and there isn't enough time unless you're a high tier killer or a high tier player. 3-gening with POP or slugging does help mitigate it and you can still snowball with a lot of killers no matter how many gens are done. That said, I think maps are the bigger problem with gens getting done quick. Smaller maps give you a lot more room to go on chases and protect gens while big maps just waste your time unless you're a high movement speed killer.
Ds is still a dominating perk, where survivors are immune to do whatever they want for 1 minute
Honestly, DS is at its worst at endgame if everyone else is gone and only the DS remains while they slowly crawl out. Any other time in the game, you shouldn't even be worrying about the person that got unhooked. Slug them, ignore them or eat it if you have time. At end game, you should be going for hook trades and slugging, not directly attacking the person that just got off due to BT/DS. Get some slugs, chase the others out and don't get overly greedy for kills.
I do think they should change it to where if you hook someone else, the DS is no longer active. I've eaten a few DS's and I don't even remember hooking the person in the first place.
Matchmaking is broken, and now it will be hidden to "solve" this issue
Yes, this is a big one and probably my biggest complaint of the game at the moment. I do the think the new system will be better though, it certainly can't get worse then it is.
As for your topic title, why would they? Plenty of people enjoy playing killer for whatever reason. Don't take the game seriously and just mess around and have fun in anyway you can. If the game is actively bothering you to play it then it's probably not for you and you should either move on or find another way to play that would make you happier.

I switched to playing more killer recently for extra BP, for the archives challenges, and for the faster queue times. Because I don't care if I rank up, I find it relaxing rather than stressful. Generally, I get at least 2K, but even if it's 0K, it's still fun and profitable.
0 -
You can't expect the majority of the playerbase to share your opinion just because they don't bother commenting on the forums. Quite a big chunk of players including me think killers are second in priority all the time. Killer bugs never get fixed while Survivor bugs must be fixed as soon as possible.
You labeling someone's opinion as not important because it somehow doesn't speak for any of the playerbase is exactly what is wrong with people's attitude.
3 -
Opinions become unimportant when I and others have seen the same handful of people constantly complain.
Also, I mentioned the playerbase number because some people on here seem to think that the killers on here are the only killers that exist. It's going to be the response when they use words like "ALL". Seems pretty entitled to call out everyone that plays killer simply because they have an opinion and doesn't enjoy the game... doesn't mean the rest aren't.
1 -
There is no argument why killers should stop playing. Lately iam just seeing crybabies all along in the forum, which looks like some people trying to do propaganda with different accounts. Nothing in this game changed that such a mass of complaints would be reasonable. This is just a big shitstorm with fake talk.
2 -
Because people run into nontoxic survivors like me who enjoy playing with nonmeta things. I'll be a head on pro yet! Just you wait. (Sorry Killers IK head-on is kind of toxic but I want have some fun besides being the medic)
1 -
Because you're being dramatic and it's honestly not that serious. I get 3-4 kills in most of my games and rarely ever get hit by DS because I don't tunnel *shrug*
1 -
Because it's honestly nowhere near as bad as the forums and subreddit make it sound.
Just like when I play survivor: you win some and you lose some. It's not the end of the world to get zero or one kill. I play killer because I'm decent at it and my girlfriend loves to watch me play.
Also because Scream is one of my favorite horror movies and it's a dream to play as Ghostface.

Sounds like a killer who got too used to 4k around the brown ranks

I stopped playing months ago, but I still have hope for this game. Not a lot these days, but some.
1 -
Stopped playing like a months go. And now with the new Division 2 expansion dropping this week, guess I'll be staying away for a long time.
1 -
Glad it's not just me. I didn't expect to enjoy Division 2 half as much as I am, but it was hard to justify skipping it for just $3. I'm seriously considering whether to pick up the expansion when it drops. I'm thinking I'll hit level cap and see how I feel then, and grab it if I'm still wanting more.
