How to have fun in this game?

When playing survivor as solo, i have to wait for 3-5 min for a game where i get tunneled/moried in 5 min. When playing killer i get instant lobbies but against 4 man swf 10-11 rank better than my rank, get bullied "EZ"-ed at the endgame chat.

    Haven't had someone say "ez" in my killer games for weeks now. Most are just ggs. Although,I have noticed alot more killers are tunneling/using moris and so on. As for ur killer problem,nothing you can do except keep playing until you reach their lvl.

    I know its hard but don't take the game that seriously; accept that short games happens where you will die instantly and just move onto the next one. Change your playstyle if you have to, be more stealthy, more selfish so that you avoid the killer if youre constantly dying due to those reasons.

    Just remember its a game, I used to have a toxic mentality with the game too but sometimes you need to sit back and realise that it is just a video game afterall and its not good for your own health to be like that.

    Killers with a mori are probably still hung up on a bad previous game, sfw toxic players who bully you are a yikes, but you might aswell make it into killer practice. Dont try to win the game, try to enjoy the moment and practice using the killer power or something. I know its difficult to keep a positive mindset in such situiations but try your best!

    Good luck in your future games! <3

    Of course killers are, they can hardly take four steps without a gen popping and a lot of maps are just so big a gen can easily get done by the time a killer crosses it.

    Killer hasn't been fun for me in months now, I've mostly quit the role. I'm hoping this patch, whenever it finally goes live, will make it at least tolerable again.

    I play perkless and can win most games. I struggle against decent survivors obviously,but who doesn't. Even when it's impossible,I don't give up just yet. I don't camp(except EGC) don't tunnel(except if I can't find anyone else/unhooker) I will slug tho,i think it's perfectly fine to gain pressure like that. And that's why they changed gen speed efficiency when multiple people are repairing it,to stop that 1 gen from insta popping while the killer wobbles himself to the gen itself. Although,at high levels only certain killers can win while having to play in unfun ways and pretty much sweating their ass off. Some teams are impossible to win tho,those swf that actually play to win and not to have fun like most do.

    Try not to take it to seriously. I usually play perk roulette and see what random build i get and go from there.

    Like most do? Lucky you. I'm consistently matched up with SWF Team 6. I won't lie, it's rather aggravating and one reason why I haven't played much killer for weeks. It just hasn't been fun for me, I'm sad to say.

    are you pc or ps4? PS4 and xbox are full of swfs from my experience. Same with how regions vary,from my experience some are sweatier than others. Although,facing a swf will sharpen ur skills no matter how fast you lose. From each mistake you should learn. No one is perfect,no one is gonna be able to play each game perfectly but we can always strive to improve our skills.

    I have fun with killer when im not getting insulted by tbagging survivors. I dont mind losing, i object to the constant bm

    I completely understand, it sucks and I havent played killer in a while too. Usually those are the people who are trying to get your attention to waste your time so you should tend to ignore them instead of giving them what they want; when those people realise you don't care for them they tend to get butthurt and leave as they're not given the attention. :)

    For survivor solo I'd highly recommend focusing on emblems rather than escape as you can control your emblems better than a full escape.


    For killer meta perks or get wrecked. Matchmaking is aweful so you really need perks or power to slow the game. It's why I started playing Pig so slowdown was baseline. Actually havet time to enjoy the match and practice loops that way.

    Tbh the one of the only ways I have fun in solo queue now is just using meme builds

    Faced a Freddy with ebony mori, was a cool dude lol. I think killers are using it more often in case it gets gutted or reworked.

    If you're taking your DbD matches seriously in 2020 you really need to change the way you think about this game, because you will have matches and scenarios where you're basically gonna lose by default and there's not much you can do about it (For example if you went against a 4-man who brought an Ormond offering and 4 toolboxes against your Wraith). Nobody expects you to win these matches so the best thing to do is not beat yourself up over matches like these, because honestly the game doesn't care if you win or lose, as well as not caring what people say. Just be chill about it and mute the in-game chat, or say gg and leave if you don't wanna see what they have to say.

    lol I've been having fun using rancor + furtive chase(and or nemesis) builds on different killers...matches are pretty interesting. I've been close to getting two rancor moris in a match , but on those times i ended up losing the new obsession.
