Im a survivor main , i always love playing survivor not because i dont like killer but simply because im just not good at playing killer at all. Killer is not good for me so i stick with survivors.


I play survivor really good and now im almost a rank 5 in the game , you just have to find what your comfortable with and enjoy doing the most , i know alot of people are good at playing both but me personally i prefer survivor over killer just for the fact that im just not a good killer lmaoo

    I'm tryna go for both, but tbh....

    playing killer is like 1000 times harder than survivor and survivors tend to be more mean so I'm now debating just fully going survivor main.

    If youre a r5 survivir you should be able to get to yellows pretty easy. And playing killer will make you a legit better survivor. You should give it a real shot.

    I play both but lean more towards killer, i find it more rewarding and more challanging

    Both, but I like killer more. I only play survivor because dead hard, deliverance, inner strength and fixated are very fun to use. And Steve.

    60/40 killer survivor. Been playing a lot more killer during this event for the bloodpoints, working on unlocking all teachables

  • The_Bootie_Gorgon

    I generate more bloodpoints as a killer, and I need all the blood points.

    I just spent 1mil blood points on billy for his teachables. I probably won't use him after the billy "update", but i want the teachables.

    Both, leaning more towards killer.

    I try to play both, lean more towards Killer because Bloodpoints and queue times are better. Rank 1 as Killer, Rank 6 as survivor.

    If I had a team to play with, I'd stick to survivor though. Less stressful.

    I play both but slightly more survivor.

    I've considered every now and then becoming a survivor main but I've made a lot of progress on killers I feel it would be a waste to just abandon it completely.

    i play plenty of both, though lately been playing a lot more survivor since wait times are much shorter for me

    Killer main, but I have been trying to improve my Survivor game in recent times.

    Used to be 100% Survivor, then went 75% Killer and I am now back to about 75% Survivor.

    Pig main........ and a Feng Min main...

    I play about 55/45 killer/survivor

  • hahadrillgobrrr

    70/30 killer/survivor.

    I'd say survivor main.

    I do play killer (Plague, Legion and Spirit), but I just don't find it that fun tbh. I'm way too merciful to effectively play killer, lol.

    I nearly always let the last survivor live xp

    Also I kept getting matched with players of a much higher rank. I still did well, but I felt like I was at a huge disadvantage considering I barely have any teachables on killers and I don't have a lot of experience on killer.

    So I pretty much only play killer when the tomes release, a few hours for a couple of days and then after the tomes I pretty much don't touch 'em for months. 🤷‍♀️

    I do enjoy watching content creators play killers, but meh, it's not really for me.

    I get more adrenaline from playing survivor.

    Playing both sides gives you a good perspective of the game and what to do in certain situations. Although I kind of hate saying "I think this and I play both sides!". It just feels like a dick measuring competition like "my opinion is more valid than yours :)))".

    I play survivor when the friend I play with is around, killer otherwise. If I had to put numbers on it then I'd say it's like 60/40 survivor/killer.

    So in other words I'm in some awkward superposition where I can be declared a main of either side by someone looking for an excuse to ignore my opinion 🙃

    Both, playing one side more than one side the majority of the time cane get really boring. It's also better as you can understand both sides and use that advantage to get better in the game overall.

    Both, I play mainly killer by myself, and survivor with friends, but that's not to say I don't occasionally solo queue

  • Lx_malice
    Lx_malice Member Posts: 1,417

    I play both but I still consider myself a killer main. Lately I haven't been playing much survivor though because I just can't deal with randoms and I don't really have anyone to play with.

    id like to do both 50/50 but as im rank 1 in both i find it more chill and easy going playing as survivor, like i can still have the odd bad game or ones where i mess up but at least im not having people be toxic towards me while im having an off game. dont get me wrong i love playing killer, ill go through playing them all (got every perk on everyone) but certain killer on certain maps or a meta swf just turns killer into more of a hassle, i play for fun and thats more easily achieved as a survivor so thats why id play more survivor until certain things are changed

    Survivor main but play a decent amount of killer as well (rank 7 killer)

    Both for me, I started out when the game started and have played both sides since then. I go through stages where I'll play more survivor than killer or vice versa - right now playing more survivor because killer lobbies are so slow for me.

  • cluedup_survivor1988

    I play 100% survivor, I used to play killer alot but realised survivors can be super harsh and have all the perks that virtually make it as hard as possible to get a hook.

    I enjoy survivor more as I play the survivor role really well too, I used to main trapper and did it very well but hate the stress that comes with it.

    I flex main Dwight and Claudette and I'm rank 4 ( nearly 3 ) survivor, I just enjoy the chase as a survivor and prefer having physical objectives like the gens to do rather then try stopping someone as I like working with a team 🙂

    50/50 (red rank on both sides since late 2017/early 2018).

  • GoodBoyKaru

    Both for me.

    I've always called myself a survivor main and said I played more but according to some friends I play nothing but killer when I'm not in a SWF (which, I mean, mostly true) so at this point I'm not too sure. Been playing since November 2017, first hit rank 1 as killer January 2018 and rank 1 survivor January 2019- currently pretty consistent with being rank 1.

    I play whichever side has the shorter queues. Solo survivor only, prefer demogorgon and deathslinger rn. I can understand the frustrations both sides go through, and never treat the other players in a toxic manner. Right now I still find maps and matchmaking to be the biggest issues in the game, beyond anything the players themselves do.

  • FogLurker
    FogLurker Member Posts: 337

    Both sides played, prefer killer. Usually do survivor if my friend is on to play with. If I'm solo, then maybe it's something like 80% killer / 20% survivor. If friend is on, then like 90% survivor / 10% killer while streaming it.

    Killer main. Only play Survivor if invited. I am a hilariously bad Survivor.

  • cheetocultleader
    cheetocultleader Member Posts: 1,260

    I want to be both. I've been putting in a lot of time to killer recently, and won't quit 'till I have them all sitting with skills I like at least for when I do feel like playing them. However, I've put in hundreds more hours to survivor, and over all enjoy it a lot more. It's less stressful. I laugh more. Killer gets me tilted once in a while.

    Straight 50/50. Its between mixing the whole session to playing only killer on one day and the other only survivor.

  • NekoGamerX

    Killer main! Play survivor here and there, but survivor gets very boring for me simply because it's the same thing over and over again and gets boring!

  • TheDeprived
    TheDeprived Member Posts: 14

    Both.(R1 on both) While I prefer killer, I tend to play both regularly. Understanding both sides and how each one thinks makes the game overall easier to get the hand of. Generally it also gives you an idea on what is an issue for the game rather it be health or balancing wise.

  • Rex_Honeycut

    Both. Killer, solo queue; it's 1v4 either way.

  • MadArtillery
    MadArtillery Member Posts: 826

    Play it roughly exactly 50:50. May as well play the whole game.
