Survivors are unstoppable -- Killers are useless
So as you can see in the photo above there, the killer lost 3 survivors and only managed to kill one. Now I have a pretty decent killer here with the right add-ons, a pretty high level killer (just 40) and damn good perks. Yet I still manage to let 3 survivors escape. Bit weird no? This game ended very quickly, in less that 10 mins or so 3 of the survivors had already escaped. I can't help but notice how unfair the game is for killers now.
As for the last few weeks now I've tried to go back to playing killer instead of playing survivor but I always end with the same sad results. Either I equip an ebony mori or they all escape. What kind of a joke is this. I put pressure on the map, I take down survivors, I have NOED for when the last generator is done.
What'S going on with DBD? Aren't players meant to have fun instead of stressing over things like this. Countless matches that I have played are all like this, unless I equip an ebony mori and they all die. Other than that it's almost impossible to get a decent game. What do you want me to do? 😔

How are those Perks good? Those are pretty bad Perks for Spirit IMO. Spirit mainly needs Information Perks and maybe Slowdown Perks. You have somewhat of Information with Thrill and Rancor, but that is nowhere decent. NOED and Haunted dont do anything for Spirit.
And well, you are not even Devotion 1, so you are pretty new to the game. Quite logical that you will have struggles at the beginning, but I dont understand why people complain about balance when they are new to the game. Because you cannot know any better.

So killers should be buffed Becaue your using horrible perks on a killer who's 110% speed and hard to learn?

TLDR;
"I'm bad at killer and despite the numerous buffs killers have received over the years, including the last patch, I still continue to fail. Instead of changing my strategy to get better, I just ask for nerfs"
lol

Mate, despite the fair game lineup you had in regards to ranks. Your first mistake is playing a killer you have barely anything on at this rank. Your second, even with what you have, Oni doesn't work with those perks. NOED, Haunted, Rancor, their not stupid at this rank. They know how to deal with it. If they know you have Thrill. They automatically assume you have NOED.
Your third mistake is your obvious lack of experience with Oni. He is by far the strongest killer in the game the fact he can snowball games. The fact 3 got out means they are either very good as survivors or your really bad as Oni. Keep in mind Gen rush isnt real, it's a term made up by killers to explain why the objective goes too fast. To say you feel you need to use a mori just to get kills is sad. I played as Doc yesterday at rank 15 and I faced two 1s, a 6 and a 10 on Ironworks of Misery. All 4 died. Was hard, got 4 out 5 gens done but I got them without mori.
My recommendation, play a killer you're better at since you are high rank. The time to learn killers is private game or between 20-12. Build up Oni if you're looking to main him. Get M&A, Infectious Fright, BBQ and Pop. Then if you're good, easy 4k so much so it shouldnt be.

Thats a Spirit tho

If this isn't bait then I've lost a lot of faith in this community. There's a lot to dissect here.
1) You killed someone, better than all four escaping. Depending on how many hooks you got that still could be a good result.
2) I'll admit, spirit is good, and those add-ons are too. However, level 40 isn't a high level in this game (when you go past level 50 hundreds of times lol).
3) Depending on your skill, or theirs, then no its pretty normal instead of being weird.
4) The game is the most fair it's ever been for killers. As someone who played back in 2017, killers are pretty damn strong in comparison.
5) Those perks man! They're not exactly the best. Rancor is a trash perk, TOTH only works if you have hex totems you DON'T want broken, Haunted Grounds only works if you have hex perks that you think will be broken instantly. Noed is the only decent perk there (just don't make my mistake and become over-reliant on it).
6) If you need an ebony mori to stop 4 escapes then that's definitely an issue with your skill, not the game.
7) Clearly your pressure and changing chases isn't working well enough if your games are under 10 mins and you're not killing them as spirit.
8) If the game gets easy enough for new killers to 4k with little to no effort, then how stressful do you think survivor will be? It'll be a nightmare for any and all solo players.
9) You're new to the game (I can see that because of your devotion 0)- you get better the more you play. Keep going, keep improving, and you'll see you don't need an ebony mori each game.
Sincerely, a freddy/doc main.

Correction. Spirit, looked alot like oni with the zoom in close xD
3 -
Doc is op now if survivors dont know counter play omg even a rank 20 could kill all red ranks I mean you either got idiots or are surfing or havent played in a while but you don't have much experience of you thinking oni is the best killer nurse billy and huntress are the big 3 and nurse is all by herself up there she is the best killer in the game
0 -
I know, looked like Oni at first. XD I need to go to Specsavers 🤣
1 -
how are any of those perks "damn good" again?
2 -
Oni, Billy, Nurse, Huntress, Spirit and Ghostface are the main red rank killers I have come across. And yes, at any rank, if you are good with Oni, you will always get 3-4k every game because he has free tracking. Easy map control, easy hook control. Yes, he is strong and one of the best. If they can snowball easy and quickly, they are strong. Simple as that. And Doc is strong, no denying. As I said I'm 15 facing two rank 1s, a 6 and a 10 on one of the strongest survivor maps. Doesn't automatically mean I should be able to kill all of them just because you say so. It just makes you sound like a judgemental killer main criticising how others should play, which I dont believe you are.

I dunno what to tell ya, man. I get 4k's regularly with no perks, addons, or offerings.
Killers are fine. I do like to joke that survivors are much tougher than the killers, but that's just a gameplay thing. (Seriously, look how much damage survivors take and keep going! Killers get flashed with some light and they're out for the count. Wimps!)
Also, stop complaining about "genrushing". That's the survivors goal. It's their objective. Of course they do it as fast as you'll allow them to do it. Don't be like those survivors who whine about their opponent just doing their job.

I definitely am not I maines killer when I started as a ghost face who was soooooo good and then rank 14 introduced me to toxicity and swf and so I hit rank 12 prestige and switched to surv that I thought was harder but then I got better amd realized killer is way harder im a surv main but I also play killer at high ranks so im not biased but dude oni is not the best and I have only ever gone against a good oni a couple times he is too easy to counter and no one knows how to use him and even when they do he is easier to counter then billy IMO but yeah he can be like billy but the reason he isn't as good is because his ability is so reliant on hits that survs can deny you of also you lose your tracking in his ability so you cant track except for sound and marks which is the same as other killers so yeah he is not the best and never will be

Couldnt have said it better. Gen rush is a made up phrase made by killers for killers to explain why the objective is done so fast. Like as it is right now, with the hit boxes and everything. Killers are strong. That's fine but it needs a balance both sides.
1 -
True, but the fact whenever you come out of his ability all blood that was there before are back which constantly give him his ability. Sure Billy has more flow but if you are an Oni at red rank, Then it's the same Oni every game. M&A, Pop, BBQ and Infectious. And if it's the same Oni at Red rank getting 4k, it does get ridiculous. Imo, I find him quicker in finding people than Billy. And Oni can still get around loops with his flick so I suppose its agree to disagree.

That's not a great perk combo, if I'm being honest.
NoED doesn't do that much for you. It doesn't activate until the end of the game, at which point survivors just have to get out. And as soon as they see you have it, they're going to skedaddle.
Haunted Grounds just weakens Thrill of the Hunt, which isn't doing that much for you anyway.
Rancor is a decent survivor-finding perk. But requires gens to get done to activate.
Generally speaking you want to run: 1 slowdown perk, 1 perk to help you in chases, 1 perk to help find survivors, and 1 perk to cover your weaknesses. If you don't have any teachables, it's a bit harder to build a build. But I'd say replace Rancor with Whispers if you have it yet. And then maybe replace Haunted Grounds with Sloppy Butcher. Those are general perks you don't have to unlock. But generally you want some teachables. Then replace NoED with something like Pop goes The Weasel. Because as far as slowdown goes, NoED doesn't do much. And in fact, the fear of NoED can slow down the game without you actually using the perk.

Putting aside the fact that your killer level is not high and your perks are not that good, you seem to assume that IF that were the case, then 3 survivors shouldn't have escaped. Sure, there are certainly broken items in this game, you yourself mention ebony moris, for example. However, you seem to expect to get kills just because you have a good build. It doesn't work like that. There's always a player behind the screen who has to do the job.
This game ended very quickly, in less that 10 mins or so
It's not really that fast, let alone very quick. It's about average for me, when it ends in a 3/4k. Sometimes, a couple of min more. If you normally need a 20 min game, then there's something wrong with your gameplay.
As for the last few weeks now I've tried to go back to playing killer instead of playing survivor but I always end with the same sad results.
You're not even devotion 1. You're not experienced enough to be proficient, especially if you have not mained killer so far. You're facing the kind of competition now that has some idea about how to play the game. Forget the survivors in yellow and green ranks. Those were headless chickens. You're only starting to play real killer games at this level.
What'S going on with DBD? Aren't players meant to have fun instead of stressing over things like this.
Again, there's something wrong with this mindset. Is your definition of fun equal to easy games or easy wins? Because this is a PvP game. You get back what you're able to put in. My advice is to focus more on learning and less on changing the game.

You think you are entiteled to get at least 2K every round? Then you are wrong. Very wrong actually.
Now I have a pretty decent killer here with the right add-ons, a pretty high level killer (just 40) and damn good perks.
Okay, you might be a troll or this could be a bait post, but if you are not, hear me out quick.
Spirit is in fact a strong killer, but she needs practice. We can see by the screenshot that you dont have any practice with her at all, especially because you think level 39 is a "high level killer". Level 39 can be achieved in less then a day of play, and with that i mean a session of 7-8 hours. Said that, this is nothing. You are probably a straight noob with this certain killer. Odd that you think level 39 is something. Even i when i was a noob was aware that having a killer not even maxed out is beginner status.
And good perks? You build is a meme build... at best.
Yet I still manage to let 3 survivors escape. Bit weird no? This game ended very quickly, in less that 10 mins or so 3 of the survivors had already escaped. I can't help but notice how unfair the game is for killers now.
The only weird thing is that you think you should get kills when you are totally new to the game. Player level 83, Spirit level not even 50 lol... what are you expecting. I ensure you, this is just the beginning of your DbD journey and you have a LOT to learn. There are people around with devotion 20+ (playerlevel 2000+) and even those guys dont know everything about the game or play godlike.
The only things you should post at the moment are questions on how to get better with the Spirit or any other killer you want to learn. Balance discussions when completly new to the game is pointless.
2 -
Me over here at Devotion 0, player level 40 or something, listening to everyone say that you have to be at least Devotion 1 to not be a newbie.
I dunno, I still beat up red ranks. Level is just time played, not an indication of how much you've learned.

This. Information is everything on spirit. She's pretty strong and easy to master, so you shouldn't complain about imbalance while playing her. Do it while maining the sweet bubs.
EDIT: Just interested, do you play spirit mainly OP?
0 -
ofc player lvl is just playtime,
but if someone doesnt even have devotion 1 (im not telling you dev 1 means anything but it means player is new to the game) and some ppl didnt played in similar games (or watched streams), hes clearly newbie
and now we're getting to the point where someone that is clearly new to the game is demanding to 4k with hard killer (when he is new to the game, not to mention killers power having one of highest skill floor) and with trash build xd
if now he demands 4k when hes newbie, what he will demand from the game when he will have P3 full perks and over 1k hours? 4k on 5 gens every game?
0 -
I get you don't have many perks on her and none of those perks are particularly bad they just don't make much sense ran together. Try levelling some other killers, especially going for anti-gen perks. Even if you're playing spirit, if you aren't experienced with her gens will get done so stuff to stop or delay them is pretty essential. Corrupt intervention, ruin, pop goes the weasel etc. If you get a lot of practice with spirit you probably won't need any perks eventually, let alone a mori.

I summarize it, you don't know how to play.
Your level is 83, let's say 40 are survivors, 40 levels are killers.
You are a spirit, you can already kill people with 2k + without much problem, couldn't you? Look again above.
Take the test, play a trapper and you will see that you do not do even 2 hooks (not in red/purple rank).
With these killers you can't complain about the genrush:
Spirit, Oni, Doctor, Deathslinger, Nurse, Freddy...
They are strong killers and it is already law to rush them.
1 -
By the way, a 10 minute game is very good, you give me a game like that and I will let they escape.
1 -
That's one weird ass perk build. Only one kill with spirit noed though, lol. While I do agree really good survivors have a good chance to escape it is supposed to be possible for survivors to escape. You aren't supposed to just 4k every match.
1 -
What we want you to do is stop complaining and get better. When I play killer, I'm lucky if I get 2 kills. Now I don't play killer often, but I know that if I stay with it and find a good combination of perks and add-ons, I'd be a little better, SWF aside. I'm not going to whine and say x perk should be nerfed and maps should be changed because survivors are doing they're job, I just got to do better at doing mine.

Well #########, either you're blind or you've never played as killer before. I played as spirit?
0 -
I'm just so amazed at your answers, are you trying to downgrade me or something, I'm not exactly new to the game because I have been playing it for years now, I just don't have so many hours on the game. I watch many videos from NOOB3, MONTO, Ayrun, COWSIAM and etc.
I'm not demanding #########, I just would like to be able to have fun in the game. The game wasn't even long. Ok, I probably equipped the wrong perks and #########, The Spirit may be hard to play with. But why the ######### do you have to comment and talk ######### about me as if I'm not going to be looking back to the comment.

I mean that's a meme build; relying on totems is bad.
This screenshot shows nothing other than you playing a strong killer and losing; no context whatsoever.
0 -
Well thank you man
0 -
You stated you used a strong build; you didn't. If anything, it looks like you rely on Noed, which is a habit that should be unlearnt.
You just came to the forums to whine about balance when it was clear you weren't playing optimally if you were protecting totems, which you clearly must have been. Good survivors will take advantage of that and use it as a means to bully you and get in your head.
Yes, really mature. :)

You also got matched against 2 red ranks? How is that fair?
I think some of the comments about perks are a little bit on point, but still..
I play her with stridor, predator, whispers, and BBQ but I'm still going to lose against more than one red rank player in the mix.
