Question from new Killer.

A lot of toxic survivor players like to keep a low rank, because they are to bad at facing anything above a rank 15 killer.

Generally they are in a group with an unfair disadvantage. Solo queue players could be dropping rank to, but they are less likely.

Just need to practice.

A common scenario when an SWF has three-genned themselves is to send their best looper out to drag you to the other end of the map. In this scenario, try and get a hit or pallet dropped and then head back to where you know they are doing the gens. Ideally you will catch their scratch marks after the looper lets their friends know you are running back. Again, try to get a pallet or a hit out of whoever you find. Hopefully you can eventually make the area a dead zone, getting hits and destroying nearby pallets. All of which is great experience.

If you are clearly outmatched by your opposition, try to use it as a learning experience otherwise you can easily get frustrated with the matchmaking.

Good luck with that friend, playing against 4 swf you are at a massive disadvantage, although those who play only survivor will say no. You have 2 options to accept defeat and go to a corner to make them go faster or try to improve but there is not much you can do.

Aren't you supposed to not be "x side main" as a part of the balance team? How can you make unbiased and fair changes for everyone if you play one side more than the other?

Maybe that's why survivors keep getting bad perks.

It's all very simple, really - their entire decision making and balancing is done around keeping the survivor population happy and playing so they keep buying those extremely overpriced cosmetics. Survivors FAR outweigh killers in terms of numbers so keeping them happy and playing makes sense from a business perspective (the same business perspective that killed so many games before DbD).

They balance the game with the above in mind, first and foremost. Secondly, the balance is done around a game where the survivors are supposedly each playing alone, with no way of communicating with eachother other than in-game mechanics and their game knowledge.

As you can see, these things are heavily impacted by the fact they introduced a new way to play the game, without actually acknowledging the fact that it is a new way of playing the game. I am ofc talking about the SWF or Survive With Friends where you can bring up to 4 friends into your game, be on voice chat and then proceed to abuse all the mechanics the game affords.

Remember the part about the game being balanced around having 4 strangers to eachother surviving against a mad killer? Yeah, that part. It gets extremely overpowered against all but the very best 200iq killers in the game. They make use of complementing builds and play certain roles where they micromanage every action and perk usage to the absolute second. This is easily achieved by even bad SWFs considering all the 2nd chance perks in the game and the fact that the entire shabang caters to survivors making a ton of mistakes and being excused and given escape opportunities from basically any situation.

To conclude, the Devs are outright lying to the killer community and base all their decisions around the monetary aspect of the game aka the survivor bros, who invest tons of $$$ into the game. The killers are kept just barely relevant and happy, enough to make them come back for more (up until the point where every killer main is going to get burned out with this cycle) to keep games going.

Don't listen to what the development team is SAYING, see what they DO and the types of changes they implement. Sound advice for real life as well - be cynical and always assume there is an ulterior motive to things people say and do. Most times, you will be surprised that having this view actually shows you the truth..or just "Live, Love, Laugh" and PMA yourself into oblivion.

NoED is run in quite a few killers lately, and it's GOOD that they're condition. Just like the survivor equivalents. It's just that the survivor ones are generally used to cover mistakes on both sides, or they're all killer action related.

Decisive Strike is probably the single best example of this. It can be used blatantly and cover doing things in the killer's face (that's the both) or it can actually punish legit tunnellers.

I do also distinctly remember the abilities of Myers, GF, Oni, Hillbilly and perks such as Haunted Ground being around for ages and they're all what one might consider a "second chance" with being an instant down.

Lmfao I saw like 3 of your posts in your forum and they all shout “I’m so terribly bad at the game and blame others instead of getting better myself” geez

Unfortunately killers will still tunnel anyway. There is also the issue of DS users going in for risky unhooks, but I also fear that if we start adding conditions, the perk will actually be worthless.

But if anyone also abuses the piwer of DS against me, they WILL die next.

I mean..you can't go on what's arguably the worst killer in the game without (decent) add-ons and no perks (he's at lvl 5 so you should at least have 2 perk slots) and expect not to suffer, considering you were r13 at the time so there was an increased chance of getting red ranks.

I think you did okish, considering you managed to get the rank5 down and they had flashlights + sweaty movement perks (+ the score overall for every player is at around 20k which means stuff happened, it wasn't a one sided fiesta like the end result might seem to indicate).

Generally, the perk unlocking situation is in of itself a problem. I played a lot of games on perkless survivors or with just 1 perk and I managed to come out with the top score/ most unhooks/ most gens done, etc. Granted, that wasn't at a very high rank level but if you look at the killer side, you suffer way more as killer for trying to get away with the same stuff as a survivor might.
