    I P3 50d my Claudette before even touching killer because back then killer had very long queue times.

    I began a Michael Myers main after a year or two, here I am now, nothing changed.

    I played survivor first, because I had a lot of issues with my mouse at the time and felt like playing killer would make it really frustrating. Survivor on controller was the way to go for me.

    I thought the Wraith looked cool.

    He was not, however, cool enough to handle the Red Rank Survivors abusing a SWF glitch that matchmaked their group as if they were Rank 20s back during the abysmal state the game was in during the Howling Grounds Event. So after some games as Meg I kinda quit DBD until I learned the Lullaby for the Dark DLC had to be purchased for 0 dollars and 0 cents on PSN before you could use it.

    Then it was Huntress time.

    And it's never stopped being Huntress time.

    Technically I played Killer first. I first played a few rounds on my sister's account when visiting her, and because she's R1 Survivor and I had never played, she was like "you can go do stuff on my R15 Killer" so that I wouldn't depip her forever aha. I tried out Demo, Ghostface, Nurse, and Billy.

    When I bought the game for myself and started playing, I played as Survivor for most of it and then slowly started playing some Killer again.

    I played as Dwight on my first match. It was an extremely smooth game, we were up against a Nurse who hardly used her blinks. No one died and we all escaped, and I think only one person was hooked. In a sense, I'm glad my first game went that way, cause I was so noob at everything and I was afraid of missing skill checks and screwing up my team, so I focused really hard and did my best. Good times.

    First match I played was Myers, then Wraith, then I switched to Surv and played Nea because I thought Urban looked neat.

    I was that Baby Dwight that got into the struggle phase in their first hook.

    First game was as Huntress. Loved the power that killer had at the time... still like the power when I play well.

    I started with killer and mained killer for awhile, then I took a break, came back and now I almost exclusively play survivor.

    I got Jake to P3 and he's been my main ever since. Now though I try to play both sides evenly. I really love playing Deathslinger

    I played a solid 150 hours (of consistently dying basically) in 2016 before I made a dedicated effort to dip a toe into the waters of killer.

    I wouldn't have an official killer main until 3 years later when my favorite killer Ghostface finally made it into the game in 2019 though.

    Wraith at Macmillan. This was back just after Hag came out so no real functioning matchmaking, I got a bunch of mid rank people who just abused the ever living hell out of me because Wraith was weaker back then and I was little baby killer.

    Now I’m able to do well in red ranks as Wraith, and am a red survivor as well...so it’s been a journey

    Michael was the first one I played. First time I played it was on my friends account back when the Halloween dlc came out. Im a huge slasher and John carpenter fan so when I saw Myers as a playable character I knew the game would be good.

    Uhh apart from the uh *ahem* bugs and such *cough cough*.

    It's still an amazing game tho :)

    I did my first trial as Nancy Wheeler, facing against the Plague at the MacMillan Estate. It was really intense, as it was my first time, despite watching other people play DbD for around a year and a half. Killer scared the hell out of me, but I managed to survive long enough to be third one to die lol. That was the beginning and back then I was more than convinced, that this game IS a horror after all.

    I chose killer because i was watching so many horror movies at the time, and the killers in the movies made me wanna use the killer role. I first used hag cus i knew nothing about the killers and I just chose a random one.

    My first round in the game was playing survivor as Nea. Dont ask me why but I always was scared of playing killer. I guess it was because of the 1vs4 but now I mostly play Killer.

    Trap daddy pulled me in, to the point I mained him before getting Mike Myers.


    then I switched to survivor because it was so much easier

    I remember playing survivor for a match, then queuing for killer, but switched back because it took so long to get in a lobby.

    I played survivor, I was too intimidated to start as killer. I didn't know what to do so I was too scared to go against 4 people (not knowing how inexperienced rank 20s were) on my own.

    I remember it vividly. I played Trapper on Mother’s Dwelling. I killed two survivors. They both were spamming me with messages as I continued to play, as I was chasing someone my app crashed, I was swarmed with messages claiming I rage quit. I haven’t experienced a group like that since then. The worst first impression ever LMAO, idk how I managed to keep playing.

    I think some of the first videos I saw was from Tru3talent or Ochi and that made killer seem really complex and survivors just try to bully even the new killers so I just decided to stick with survivor for long time and rarely played killer. Now after about having 1k hours I can play killer pretty confidently and I don't even mind if my game sucks, flashlights and blendettes and teabagging. That happens sometimes I can only blame matchmaking for putting those people against ######### killers.

    Unless you want to count the tutorials, killer was the side I played first.
