I think I'm done playing killer.
Playing killer is nothing more than a frustrating and terrible experience. Ever since the death of ruin, the amount of time actually spent in the game has gravely decreased. Generators get done at blinding speeds and there's nothing you can do about it if you're playing against optimal survivors (I.E they know what they're doing).
An average game in red ranks consists of:
-A generator being done before I can even get to it or apply pressure.
-One chase taking 2-3 minutes because the survivor is running around a broken or OP structure that apparently still has yet to be fixed (wretched shop, god windows, etc). By the time I down them, another 2-3 generators are done.
-With 1-2 generators left, I chase another survivor, go through the same experience and hook them. Now the doors are powered and the game is pretty much over.
-God forbid I decide to tunnel, camp, or slug the survivors because this ''ruins the experience'' for them. And even if I do this, survivors have a handful of perks to give them second chances at every moment of the game.
-Even if I play by the survivor rule book, I get flashlight clicked and tea bagged to high heaven because how dare I even play the game right?
Whatever, think I'll start playing survivor now for the rest of the game's lifespan until killer is fixed, seems like the fun role.

According to the community manager's suggestion, the thing to do it to try and lock down a three gen strat if that starts to happen.

If you're only getting 2 hooks in the time it takes the survivors to do all 5 gens, you probably just aren't good at the game. Or at least not good at the killer you're trying to play.

I don't know,lately i've been playing killer a lot more than the previous 4 months,and despite i have only a lousy 1k~ hours into the game the last days i consintently pip and double pip with nurse in red ranks.I took a break before her rework and starting playing her again in the last week.
Already r2 without breaking too much sweat.If looping and gen speed is the problem then nurse is the solution.Just adapt to her new playstyle,she is still the best killer.

It's been badly broken like that for months and the devs dont care at all, the game WILL die out by Fall

I can sympathize.
Let me know if you want some recommendations for a different game.

Honestly, does it matter, though? Seeing as how green/purple ranks are usually only facing red, can you blame the imbalance? Believe it or not, but a lot of killers aren't red rank material. If they faced a team of equal skill, they'd fair better. But then, that would require matchmaking to be fixed, and we all know how much care the devs have for that atm.

I play Killer and typically float between ranks 7-10 so I'm well aware of the broken crappy matchmaking and facing full red rank teams. My point still stands. If you're only getting 2 hooks in a whole game, you're doing something wrong.

@RakimSockem Most likely, but learning how to correct it against survivors that outclass you in every way is demanding. Especially on low end killers. Not saying it can't be done, but it just adds to the stress of playing killer right now.

Ay, dude, secret down here
Disengage the chase. Only Pride.99 + processing and handling.

It is obvious that they're doing something wrong. That's why they're green rank killers and not red rank, and so should be matched with people who are doing a similar amount of wrong things.

bring in bot killers, itll stop all the b1tch1ng from killers, although i agree when i play killer the new design is sh!t
ALSO theres no reason to be chasing someone for 2-3 minutes straight, by 15-20 seconds if it doesnt look like youre gonna get em go back to gen patrol.

The role is fine, it's the unfair matchmaker/ranking system and the speed gens can be done when 2 people hop on one/the maps that are so huge you can't get to gens in time to do anything about them.
Those are basically the big 3 killer issues atm, 4th one was toolboxes but they actually fixed and matchmaker/ranking is being worked on (If they don't mess it up) so we're getting there slowly lol.

play as freddy with discordance, tinkerer, BBQ and chili, and PGTW. you will 4k without any trouble. Don't worry about tunneling, if you get em twice its their fault.

They either need to make the games longer, dont know how, or gut the meta, put all 2nd chance perks on the same cooldown so you can't stack them without any downsides.
One or another would help.

You should think of how is that so many redranks can play this game without ruin ever used, but you cant?
0 -
playing without it and winning are two different things
and getting 4 kills during EGC is not a win
2 -
"Until killer is fixed"?
That'll never happen -.-

Nah dog, this guy is clearly top tier killer. On a completely unrelated note he is also probably a very good Genji player and an expert Yasuo. DANG TEAMS JUST ALWAYS HOLD HIM BACK.
1 -
Actually it is. In a game that is supposed to be 2 kills, 2 escape, geting a 4k at all is more than a win and should be an anomaly. The issue is that people think they're entitled to 4ks at all

*spams I need healing*

If you dont have every tile memorised as a killer, then you're basically facing the wrong survivors.

LOL
3 gen strat works vs solo players....maybe.
even a crap SWF can handle it. Hint: everyone get on a gen. Maybe 1 gets caught.

Well, you have streamers that display for a good portion of the player base how you’re supposed to play as killer, what’s a legit way to play, and “how to get that 4K.”
Slugging, Camping, Proxy Camping, Tunneling, eliminating a player at any cost if you’re losing gens, etc.
survivors popularize: how to bully loops, how to bully in a swf, sabo squads, old instaheal squads, key squads, etc.
so, a lot of people are influenced by this. What they see must be the way to play. “Gotta escape....gotta get a 4K...otherwise, I suck, I’m no good, I’m not running loops for 5 gens, I’m not 4K’ing with multiple gens left....”. It’s crazy and contributes to the toxicity of the community.
How many people do you know who used to trash dead hard, but now it’s a “second chance perk” because streamers showed “look, you can gain distance on a loop, not just dodge attacks” (so glad Einstein cracked that code for us....like people weren’t doing that already).

Answer this question to the best of your ability...
Why is this not happening to other killers?
Are they just getting lucky? Cuz I can tell you in my games the killer didn’t have this much trouble UNLESS the odds were already against them. (Maps/Tiles,Toolboxes)
I’m not going to sit here and say “you are just bad” with how very little evidence you have provided but I disagree that your individual killer experience is a reflection of everyone’s.
I really don’t understand. I play killer in purple ranks and often get red ranks anyway... I don’t have a problem catching them EVEN if a gen has popped before my first hook. I will sweat if I have to but then again, I play to win because winning is fun... I don’t worry about “I don’t want them to think I am tunneling”... so let’s start with that. You have to stop feeling bad for survivors.

I have friends who uninstall the game after hex ruin gets Nerf.. I understand why they decided to do it... Devs is worry about new players, new players had problems doing great skills checks and all that kind of things... But they are killing the game each time they add new updates or even content... I was a new player too and i had to play dbd constantly to get better in game.. doing great skill checks, loops, etc.. it is easy for me now most of the times when i play survivor i can escape i can even carry a team now.. But to be good he have to pratice first, not crying for nerfs.. anyway i am a little tired of dbd right now..
