Playing Killer is fun if you dont sweat it!
Lately I've been playing Legion in Frank's Robbie suit. I just chase and stab people. I down them and let them wiggle away. And let them stun me with pallets. I never hook them. I never rise in ranks! So I can chill with the newbies.
Everyone seems to have fun. Nobody has stopped mid-chase feeling helpless. I end up with more BP than I usually do as surviour(lol)
I haven't hit up any toxic level 1's yet. But since Im chill about chases (loop all day, I don't mind) and stuns, I dont feel like I'll get frustrated. Who knows?
Anywho, any survivour mains just want to chill a bit try doing Legion. Especially for all the Legion challenges on the Rift (more BP). Its a fun and stress free time!

Ah, but its all newbies. They get used to chases and things. How timing pallet drops work and such. I wish I had a chill killer in the beginning to help me out. 😊

this is pretty much how i've always played. hook everyone once to get my bbq stacks then just chase, down, let them wiggle, find someone else, maybe mess around and do silly stuff. it is indeed quite fun.

It's their choice and they're having fun, that's how theyre choosing to play I don't see why you take such issue with that? From what they're saying it sounds like everyone is okay with it and having fun so what's the problem you're trying to make out of it?
You can have all the tutorials about looping in the world btw and it still has absolutely no comparison to the experience you gain against real killers in live matches

thats just how things go in a multiplayer game sometime. the other day i ran into two Bills who hung out in the basement lockers, and after i put a trap on their heads and hooked them, they got saved and went right back in the lockers and waited for my traps to kill them. what if i wanted a normal match? what about the other two survivors? its just how things go sometimes.

Right and I understand completely where you're coming from that because I don't enjoy matches like this either. That's why I said from what they have said everyone or mostly everyone has fun, they have absolutely no bad intent from what they are doing so I'm not going to slate them for it and it's not common to come across that kind of match either.
The survivors who don't enjoy it so much at least have the option to just quickly do the gens as the killer is occupied with the teammates who do want to participate and leave the trial quickly enough. If they want to be chased by the killer, mostly the killer will do it they just won't get hooked at the end. I would be against it if it was like a hostage situation but as long as the survivors who don't want to do this still have the option to peacefully just do the objective and leave I don't mind, especially since that kind of game is quite rare and this person is at low ranks where there are more beginners and it's generally less competitive

The only diffence is that I havent hooked anyone. I'm not just standing in a corner. When I play survivour, so many sacrifice themselves on the first hook that I know many people dont enjoy being hook. I cut that out of my games. If people wiggle when I pick them up, they are into what is happening g. If they dont I feel they are feeling hopeless or upset. But theyve all wiggled. 😁
Everyone ends up with over 20,000 BP. From chasing, gens, saves.
Everyone is getting something out of it. Everyone having fun.

I've been casually playing this game on and off for years and only up until weeks ago did I start enjoying being the killer. Honestly it's so chill, the entire pressure to "win" is off.
I never ever camp, always move on on hook to patrol other gens, I never tunnel and specifically ignore survivor X if I have already hooked him/her.
If I see they're struggling with finishing gens I go the long way around or just ignore failed skill check noises and let them get on with it.
I rarely hang all 4, usually let 1 or 2 go. Sometimes I let all 4 go, but I always give everyone a run for their money (or BP's in this case) where I make sure to chase, hit, hook, but always counting who's got how many hooks and avoid a 3rd hook that kills them.
Yesterday there was a rank 3 Bill helping two rank 20 friends of his, unbeknownst to me I hooked and killed one of them, but in the end I let Rank 3 Bill and his other friend to escape. On the match summary chat Bill was like "thanks for being nice to Z, I'm trying to teach them the game" honestly made me feel happy that I gave these guys a nice early experience rather than being tunneled and camped just because I can.
Sure I get some purple tryhards with flashlights (despite me being at rank 20-18 killer) but I pay not much attention to them and play around with the others, once the tryhards realise I'm not tunneling or camping they start to chill. I never got insulted on chat, only compliments and always had fun thus far.
Honestly love playing chill killer, there's no pressure because I'm not fussed about ranking and I get tons of BP's, and so do they because I allow for so many long chases and pallets on my face.

I just play meme builds on some killers. If I lose then I can blame it on the build lol
Clown I deliberately run the worst perks and Legion I just run BBQ, Lightborn and Franklin's.

@Buttercake When I started to play Killer after along time maining Survivor. I never kill a survivor, double hook each of them and let them escape. It was fun.
Until I faced a hardcore SWF with OoO when I was rank 13 Killer. Now I have more fun get rid of survivors.

I don't I think you're wrong to play the game this way, but not caring about how about the game plays out is what I think is wrong with the DBD.
The current matchmaking system can easily match very experienced players against novice players since ranks literally mean nothing. A very experienced red ranked player could stop playing for a number of months and be reset all the way back to 20. It's why you'll sometimes see very low-level players have a lot of maxed out teachables from others survivors or killers.
I'm a level 13 killer, but I'm constantly being matched against purple and red rank survivors. I've only been playing this game a few months, and having to play against far more experienced players than myself has made this game really hard for me, so I too have had to adopt a "carefree attitude", although admittedly I really would prefer not to. I want to be able to hold my own, but until the new MMR that looks at skill and not ranks is implemented, I have no other choice but to set my expectations really low when I play DBD.

Another one escaped earlier. I also let Dwight escape.
A true story of mine, Im sure every killer had something like this too.

It's always the Megs that tea-bag too, must be something to do with the athletic ass.
