Devs please respond

That's... exactly how it goes? If you went up against a survivor that you've played with before, and you know what perks they have that are counter to your perks, you're telling me you wouldn't switch them out to have a better advantage? What about when you see a whole team carrying flashlights, medkits, or toolboxes. You've never adjusted your perks accordingly? What about map offerings? Killers with specific powers? You're telling me you would run infectious fright on say Demo and expect it to work the exact same as it would on say Freddy?

Yes, to have a chance, you must be willing to adapt and strategize. If all you use is the same 4 meta perks EVERY game for EVERY Killer, that would be the most boring match ever. Regardless of who's playing who. And you are guaranteed to eventually lose because Survivors know how to play around you.

Yes. Since DC ban was put into place, killer behavior has been the most disgustingly toxic it has ever been with zero recourse. IMO, this behavior is ruining the game. I am sure you are a magical looping fairy who NEVER has this experience...but most days 90% of the matches are like this for survivors. Especially solo survivors. The difference is that when a killer is triggered by someone he can chase them down and kill them, which at least provides a little retribution. LOL When a survivor is triggered they get to hang there and endure it, because they have no outlet. They can't leave. They can't block someone who is being toxic. They can't see if they've gotten them in the next lobby. Sure, you can suicide on hook to the detriment of your pts while giving pts to the person ruining your game. That's it. It's immensely frustrating and absolutely no fun. It's not fun to experience first hand and it's not fun to watch it happen to someone else. I Stream and interact with A LOT of other streamers who play this particular game, since it's one of my faves. Every one of them has either quit this game, admittedly play it far less than they used to in favor of other games, or will ONLY play a SWF because its at least mildly more effective in these situations.

I think most killers tunnel and camp because they are lazy and don't like to lose, if I am being honest with you. I can somewhat understand that play style if the match is going poorly or its end game and they're defending their hook...but most killers just come out of the gate playing like that, regardless. I think it is skilless, lazy, and rude.

I play killer. I am mid-ranked, so I don't sweat in red rank lobbies as a Killer, but I never camp or tunnel. I always hook a different survivor - even if I come across a fresh off-hook by chance. I don't have much trouble 4king by playing fairly, and I don't have a problem pipping, but I've also felt the sting of defeat from a SWF. I do understand it's frustrating and can make you feel a bit powerless. Especially if the survivors are cocky. I understand that's not much fun for you. But, you should understand, that's how killers who disable players from playing the game make at least some survivors feel almost every match.

Killers also get ramped up when a gen has popped in the start of a match and they havent hooked anyone yet. THAT IS ALWAYS GOING TO HAPPEN. You can't chase everyone and apply pressure at the same time. Matches tend to get more and more difficult as they progress - as you're able to do things that slow down progress, like hook/injure people, get POP off on their gens, etc.

I, personally, never cared about Ruin. IMO, it was an opportunity to get more gen pts and I never even bothered looking for it - but I have too many hours in this game. As killer, I never ran it because I don't care for perks that can be nullified in the first moments of a game for the rest of the match. In newb ranks, I can understand how it was a much bigger road block for new survivors entering the game vs. the obstacles new killers have (depending on the killer). So, I understand the change, but I wasn't one lobbying for it. I have a great time running thana, pop, and overcharge, personally. I disagree that Ruin is the ONLY perk that allows killers breathing room.

I'd love for it to be true that killers only camp/tunnel because they're just SO disadvantaged, but it's simply not true. Killers have a lot more information going into a match than survivors do. They control how they pursue sacrifice in the game and can change that methodology any time. Changes have been routinely made to address MANY of their gripes (loops, windows, palettes, hook placement, survivor perks, survivor offerings, etc.).

I can definitely understand where your frustration stems from. But to say survivor is a breeze and it's unfathomable that the survivor experience is just as unenjoyable, if not worse, is just refusing to acknowledge how toxic this game has gotten for the majority swath of survivors who don't play SWF. Why do you think killer lobbies are long AF and matchmaking can be so skewed.

I'm purple, and the only reason I am not a higher ranked killer is because I don't play killer nearly as often. I'm going to assume that because you ignored everything else I said that you acknowledge it and don't have any opposition. 👍️
