Why do people still play killer.

Bloodpoints and you don't have to rely on negative iq players :)

It's an enjoyable experience most of the time. The only problem I've seen is loading into a match against ranks that are way lower than my usual red rank. The game isn't fun at that point just because they are new or do not fully know how to play. When the toxic people come out, I normally just let them do there thing and grind bp out of them.

I play because nurse completely counter acts pallet loops and killer shack, which is the only thing that most survivors know how to do. having map knowledge is also useful, there's some maps that have pallet loops that are really good for killer.

I play killer because I enjoy bully survivors (especially sfw gen rushers) with the hag. She heavily punishes altruistic behavior so as long as you don't tunnel too much it's easy to come out on top in almost every game, yes even sfw games.

That being said, i just enjoy killer mechanics. I use to play this game a ton, especially survivor, but at this point I find survivor to be a chore. Yes they blatantly outmatch killers if you know what you're doing but I as a casual player don't feel like learning all the best loops or infinites. I find it much easier to have fun on killer.

Sure sometimes I have pretty awful games because of the infinite looping sfw gen rushers but it's not actually as bad as you guys make it out to be. Acting like there's no counterplay to sfw parties is just naive. Is someone playing sfw and blatantly using voice chat features? Tunnel someone, hook them, and camp the ######### out of them. That's bound to piss them off. In this situation camping is your best option. Why? Most sfw trash will do absolutely everything they can to save their friend. So firstly it now puts the momentum in your control. Secondly it opens up more opportunities to down survivors. And lastly it pisses some sfw off. Now when I say camp I don't mean "face camp" I mean be in the area but don't go very far. When a team is gen rushing the only thing you can really do as a killer is try to regain the games momentum and brutally punish any altruistic behavior.

I doubt that every match is a swf genrush team. I have been enjoying killer now more than every despite the audio bugs. The game isn't as bad as you make it out to be and you don't need to make a forum post because you lost one game.

killer is ez

I don't like relying on teammates. But it's also just the Nurse.

She's just really fun to me, even after her egregious nerfs.

Honestly? I just don't really find survivor all that fun. Sure, when I'm doing swf with my buds we banter and have a good time, but we could play FATAL and still have a yuk or two. I usually just play a 'heroic' david build for funs and giggles anyway

I like playing killer. I don't have an SWF (sadly, if it was enjoyable I'd prefer playing survivor) and I don't see why I should be playing the least enjoyable role that gets zero attention from the devs (solo survivor). The terrible matchmaking and the changes to ranking and pipping (= terrible teammates pushed into the red ranks, I don't think I belong there myself and others are even worse than me) were too much for me - I maybe enjoy 1 out of 20 matches as solo survivor. I deranked myself back into the purples, and survivors there are much better and actually do useful stuff and it's a thrilling game, but the game still insists to throw me into red rank games with red potato survivors doing nothing but being victims of a slaughter with 4-5 gens left undone.

Plus, I feel like I can really make a positive impact on the game as killer. I often get nice messages after the game, especially recently. Yesterday I played only four games, but after two of them people sent not just a gg but thanked me for playing extremely fair and it was one of the few matches they enjoyed that evening. I'm not a very competitive person, but I am very happy when everybody had fun in the game.

Listen just don't use ruin and killer is fun for me I'm a killer main I actually dislike survivor. And there is plenty of other perks down slow the game down that aren't ruin and ruin it just spawns in bad totem spots on general that's why I don't use it

Why do console players have this happen? I play on PC and feel like we're the exact opposite.

Why do I still play killer? I think it's fun, I use Freddy, Hillbilly, Spirit and Pyramid Head mainly, I still 4k almost every game, most survivors aren't toxic, the ones that are tend to die fast in my experience because most of them are little kids, maybe I use broken killers or I always go against potatoes.

If I get one of these "deathsquads" with OoO, toolboxes, and I get a bad map, I just afk, they wanted to genrush? Well, now they can, They sit in a 15 minute queue again while I will find another game in 2 mins :D

I got the game when it had free days to play on xbox. I bought it because I really enjoyed the time I had on the game.

Now I'm not stupid I knew what I was getting in for with dbd. I watched video's and did my research before committing to buying it. I knew everything about this game and it's community before going in to it. But my god is this game/community toxic.

From the first day of buying the game I was getting anywhere from 5 to 15 messages a day. I've played Call of Duty games, I play Siege, I play Friday the 13th, I play Warzone and honestly I've never had to change my settings in 12 years of playing games but within the span of 5 days of playing this game I had people spamming invites and messages. I had a run in with the same group 5 times over the course of a week and no matter what I did they would spam me messages and invites. After the first week I had to change my settings to private and basically make it so no one could talk to me or invite me to games at all.

I'm a solo player but I can play with a team of randoms so long as they pull their damn weight. I'm so used to people of a level where they just jump in and do what they gotta do and get out. I'm so used to having ramdoms be my teammates and just be good at the game. But holy cow did I not expect that some randoms are like trying to play with a potato, no thats offensive to potatoes because a potato could play better than some of the people I've been with. Like...why are 3 of yall dying already when we have 5 gens to do? Why did it take 2 of you to rescue someone only for you to fail and all get downed? Why are you sitting in a corner watching our teammate die on hook when the killer is chasing the David halfway across the map? Why are you running? Why is no one on gens? Where is my team? Why are you in the basement?! Are you really going to hide in the locker all game? Why did two of you dc when the killer isn't doing anything wrong? Why are you dropping pallets left right and centre? Why are you making so much noise? Why aren't you healing? Why are you clicky clicky flashlights then getting mad when it fails and dcing? Why are you t bagging when bloodwarden is up? Why drop a pallet on killer that's already walked away from the pallet?

But I've had some great team mates as survivor. I had a team that was really good at looping killer and saving each other. I had a team smash the gens and we never even saw the killer once. I had people who just were great teammates in general.

But why do I play killer? Because I want to.

Toxicity shouldn't stop you or anyone from playing the game how you want to. If someone is toxic be toxic back or better yet sit in the basement until the match ends - legit advice I was given for SWF groups, actually worked a few times and got some easy kills for it. I even used a SWF group to practice Nurse, I enjoyed blinking through time and space and getting myself stuck in a wall and even sitting on top of buildings for a while enjoying the view of the map. If you've got killer's you're not good with take the bad games to learn them or practice with them, or just practice with whatever killer you picked.

I would rather them waste their time with me than have them ruin someone else's game honestly.

But I play killer because I want to. Survivors are boring to play as, it's also extremely unfun going against the same killer's over and over again. I've had 5 survivor games with Myers this week alone, 5 Ghostface games and 3 Freddy games. I just want to die to other people, it's not you its me.

Killer is fun. No teams of survivors are the same, it's great. It's great having people who fight till the last drop or those that just accept death. It's great having a team of randoms work together to survive or die by your hands. It's great being able to pick up new tactics or try and figure out new ways of doing things to counter the survivors. It's great testing perks out on them, it's just fun man.

It's ruined a little by toxic teams and toxic people but as a whole I'd still recommend the game to people. I'd let them know what they were getting in for before hand and tell them to private things way before they boot up the game so they don't have the same problems I had but on a whole the game is great. It's super fun. It's a nice game to play.

The cat and mouse is great. The risks vs rewards is great. The killer's are just *chef kiss*. The perks are fun to mess about with.

I think honestly we should have a ranked and unranked system though. I prefer to play casual not have to play like I'm in the Esports tournaments, ya know? I just wanna chill. I don't care about rank. I'm here to have a good time not get stressed but that's another topic entirely.

Tl;Dr

It's fun despite the toxicity I've ran into its still enjoyable. Game is great. Killer's are fun. Perks are good. Enjoying it more than survivor.

becuase I like playing the ONLY part of the game that requires skill. Playing survivor takes no Skill

I play killer because it's more fun than survivor unless you're a God, less stressful unless SWFs which are fun to beat, and there's more blood points. I play a bit of survivor but am a killer main. I honestly am fine with glitches because I don't care about winning and I know that if I lose it was justified. Going against anyone is fine for me because I rarely ever get salty messages. Just done tunnel, camp, or be utterly bad.

I personally don't like playing survivor because I always go up against that one killer who tunnels me or face camps me or my teammates which makes the game not fun. Sure playing against SWFs isn't great but it's cool imo to see how coordinated some of them are. Not to mention there's no diversity in survivors. Killers all have a unique power whereas once you unlock all survivor perks you can play the exact same way with every survivor.

Playing killer is more satisfying for me in many ways and as a survivor I really don't like being jumpscared ever few seconds or going up against that one sweaty stridor spirit. Also playing survivor is really annoying at times when you're sand bagged or your team says gens before friends. Killer cues are often faster than survivor cues and that already makes it a lot more accessible.

Yeahhhhhhh......I think that playing the killer is chill I don't worry about rank or the camptards and when I want bloodhounds without worrying about all that or to just chill I play killer. I am a survivor main but I enjoy killer as well an mostly give people a break from said camptards. As for the constant griping about stuff not being fair and face camping of course we all hate it but what do you want them to do about it? Possibly put an invisible barrier around the survivor so face camping isn't possible? Mostly I see people face camp though after being taunted a lot. No duh someone is gonna try to run from the killer if you can loop why wouldnt you right? Why get so mad and face camp I will never understand. As for the complaints on Morris and the killer. It does suck to be taken out on a first hook practically. But I dont gripe, maybe they should explore the option of making things like ultra rare ebony Morris having to be hooked twice at least because even as not a very experienced killer i find it way too easy to massacre all 4 survivors with the ebony mori an i can imagine even more so when its a toxic killer who gets all crusty on you an face camps you. Either way we can't get mad at the devs an people who work their ass off to bring us this game. I still play it every day an wait new content. I'd like to see more positive posts all I see is people complaining about every little thing from skins to things not being fair its a little funny. As not_queen says for one of her anniversary quotes "WAAHHHH" lmao

Bloodpoints

I’m a huge fan of the GhostFace one. Personal favorite😂

I'm better at killer than I am survivor. Also, I like the challenge of killer, even though I feel that VS swf things aren't really fair. If I can overcome a tough SWF I feel pretty good. It's also interesting to see SWFs rage after I stomp them. They will always have some excuse for why I won... it never has anything to do with what they did or how they played which is pretty indicative of an insecure person, meaning they're not worth taking seriously. They're just being emotional.

I cant play survivor for nuts when I try I find myself going back to killer after 2 games XD. So thats the reason I stick to Killer.

Plus Bloodpoints in Killer are nice + the Queue times are usually fine.

I used to get frustrated when I started off.

You shouldn't really focus too much on winning in this game from my experience.

My personal opinion on what KILLER MINDSET you should play with to enjoy this game is:

Just think about pipping if you care about rank. Personally after just playing all the time at rank 1 . I really dont care if I lose or win. So playing for Rank is fine but I think most people who playing at rank 1 and 1000+ hours in this game dont give a ######### about rank after some point, I could be wrong.

Also Dont stick around too much as Killer in post game chat. Unless you enjoy salty comments - then be my guest.

Try to get all 4 hooks of BBQ. The only thing that kind of puts me off is If I dont get to hook all 4 survivors for my BBQ. I dont even bother going for the 4k now cause of the long time a person can just hide and prolong a game. I only slug if the person hiding is my missing stack.

SWF groups can be annoying with clicky clicky , teabags and post game comments like "baby /boring killer" . I know many people are bothered by this.

Now no one can stop this and sure it can get annoying for many people which makes Killer Unenjoyable. this is one of the reasons I dont sweat while playing this game. Cause there are many games as Killer you just CANT WIN because of x amount of reasons like - how well the survivors you vs are playing , the rng setups on maps or the map itself. Anyone who says "every game is winnable ,you just didnt apply enough pressure xd is quite honestly in my opinion trolling you.Even the best players lose from time to time.

Finally, I have 1300+ hours in this game and I mostly play Killer. In My experience, if you are new sweating to get to rank 1 is fine and frankly it's the only way you will learn and get better at Killer or Survivor but after that it is frankly not worth regarding your ass off every game to win.

PLAY FOR BP , PLAY FOR FUN , IF YOU WIN GREAT.

AND YES PLAY YOUR FAVOURITE KILLER.

Edit: I usually just read forums , but this topic seemed a bit close so this is my first post :)

Because I like proving to my self that all the killer mains that whine about how hard killer is to play on the forums and on reddit are wrong. I play Trapper/Demo/Wraith/Myers and think killer is hilariously easy compared to what it used to be.
