Playing killer is meaningless.

Like why even bother, especially when you can only use a handful of killers that’s actually viable in the high ranks to counter gen rushing (like spirit or billy). This entire game has gone stale and even with the new chapter coming out. I doubt that much will change, besides the point of a new weak killer with mediocre perks.

Might as well just play a brain dead survivor at this point or wait until an actual update that fixes this mess that lets you be able to use less viable killers like Clown.

    I don’t have bad games hardly (unless I’m playing a unviable killer just to have a little fun) it’s just boring.. only able to play 3-4 killers just because they have enough gen pressure to all most completely stop g rushing. But playing something like trapper with little to no gen pressure is just considered taboo at this point.

    And the worst part is that Devs didn’t really seem to care until the survivor base was complaining about wait time between matches.

    i felt the same, use your voice and real examples if the game means a lot to you. Not everyone has to agree but it won't be heard unless said

    It is pretty lame, some games go well yeah, but if the survivors have a slight clue of what they are doing its pretty much impossible.

    Yay...they are running to the infinite, so much fun...why are they even playing this game

    Yay...they did a gen in my face, I down them right after oooh, DS, guess I was tunneling, so much fun.


    Its honestly nigh impossible to have an actual good match, either you are stomping babies, which is not fun OR you cant make a dent, which is also not fun, its a world of extremes and both are bad.

    this game is fun until you go up against a hardcore bully squad. With all the second chance parks, infinites and giant maps you will black pip at best.

    I mean, I still find killer the much more enjoyable side to play. I mean I even stopped playing survivor with my Girlfriend to just play killer because killer is a 1000 times less stressful for me.

    I find survivor extremely stressful, because my enjoyment is based completely on how the killer decides to play. I don't run second chance perks (while borrowed time, but that doesn't help me) so if a killer decides to tunnel, camp or slug, I basically have to lay on the ground or hook, which is just about as exciting as pressing M1 for 80 seconds at a time.

    Last night I had a bubba that basically just proxy camped all game and because we just wanted to have fun playing with each other, we tried to go for a save (yes technically the wrong call, but its freaking boring to watching a friend essential unable to play the game). After he got everyone on hook, I managed to 4%... This dude literally slugged me and went AFK for 4 minutes.

    Super fun times...

    Just play who you want and don't worry about the tally screen. Killer can be stressful, and unfun if you let it. I used to worry so much about how I did in a match. Now I just play whatever killer I want and don't worry about the results.

    I’ve been playing Clown and Trapper in Red Ranks. (Restarted DBD on PC.) Guess what? I still win as a Rank One.

    We are not entitled to 4k’s and you still absolutely can get them. It doesn’t take much to snowball a team. It really, really doesn’t.

    It's a video game, dawg. In the grand scheme of things, unless it's providing you income like a top streamer like AngryPug, they're all meaningless. Just an amusing way to kill some time.

    Just play for fun. If you're not having fun, play something else or do something else. Don't overthink it.

    just gonna leave these here.


    most of the killers are viable choises, the only time they actually arent is with coordinated SWF groups.

    its far from impossible to play those killers in high ranks.

    at least i win more than i lose with them.

    How is it pointless? You have variety of 14 or so killers vs 1 survivor, instant queues vs 5-25 minute queues, a bunch more bloodpoints and a game where you get to do something throughout the whole match, rather than spend half of it working on a generator. I'll never get people who complain. If you lose constantly, just practice and eventually you'll start to do better.

    You somehow got more than the blood point cap. What is your secret? : D

    Would like to play tag-team killer with my BF, but BHVR refuses to implement killer swfs.

    Killer can be tough in high ranks, especially if you go with a weaker killer. I usually have a lot of success, but I do play plenty sweaty. I think the hard part is not expecting a 4k.

    I have played for awhile now, and was conditioned that 4k was a win. I think this is the biggest disconnect between the two sides. Survivors of course want to escape, but a lot of killers want 4ks.

    They need to change the emblem system to reflect more hooks and gen protection as a pip for killers and not so much the kills. Then maybe we can see and accept less kills as a win. But this will be hard for those of us that have played killer for a long time.

    You consider yourself to be high rank? If not then why is playing against high rank survivors an issue since it won't happen often?

    Against optimal survivors, you will lose as the killer and have a horrible experience.

    That's just how the game is, if the survivors are competent and know what they are doing then there is absolutely nothing you can do to win.
