I don't understand how people can enjoy survivor enough to main them

It's a very inconsistent experience. High highs, low lows, sometimes, maybe about 2/10 matches, you'll feel like you actually had a hard fought match that actually felt worth the effort.

I either run into baby killers or killers who have far too much experience. I feel like I almost never run into someone who is at or a little above my skill level, it's usually an extreme on either end.

I laughed so hard. I hear ya loud and clear, lol.

Mainly, I just play with the friends-family team and we do QPC or QP. I stopped doing Comp back in 2018 when it became clear that the only Comp mode Jeff cared about was the OWL. Hell, 2/2/2 went over so well that they just added Open Queue Comp as a permanent option. Yikes.

Tonight I was doing QPC and Mystery Heroes alone . . . ungh. A four-year-old game, teammates all near my account level or even higher (I am 1,009 currently) and they STILL don't know not to stagger in or to get on the objective.

I don't have any friends that will touch this game due to the asinine grind. And I can't blame them. I tried using the Discord for people, but that is a rotating door and not worth it. Never mind that I really don't use Discord to begin with.

Killer matches makes me anxious and i like being part of a team even when i get horrible teammates in solo queue. I'd rather that than dealing with the stress of playing killer.

It's less mentally exhausting

After a few killer matches, I'll switch to survivor and listen to podcasts. You can't multitask as killer and there's a ton of weight put on that role.

I run two builds depending on solo or group play. By myself I run a support build that rewards me for hook saving and healing so I get bloodpoints no matter how poorly we do gens and make my own fun. With my usual group of friends I run a more objective orientated build and distract the killer more. Both are equally fun and rewarding.

While i play both sides, i enjoy survivor far more, especially as solo survivor. I played my share of swf, and while its truly powerful, the flavor of the game gets lost. I like the tention of not knowing if the killer just waits behind the next corner.

To me, looping is the most boring thing in the game, and i dont understand how people can find running in circles fun. I like the stealth game, of not being found, and if i am found, try to lose the killer in a chase by juking, bluffing etc.

But since i dislike looping, and as a killer you have next to no choice if the survivor started to loop, i don´t enjoy it that much. As such, i prefer killer that can´t be looped easy, like spirit and hag.

That's dumb, real dumb... Yeah bad team mates suck and are 90% of the teammates you get but if nobody played survivor there would be no game. Survivor is waaaaaay more fun bcuz it's waaaaaay more challenging I used to play killer a lot but it's just too easy. . And too easy means not much fun. If you like a challenge and having fun survivors are def the way to go. And I ONLY play solo bcuz teaming as a survivor is the weakest thing you can do in life 😂😂 go back to the origins of the game and the devs said part of the game is having to depend on random people. . Idk how many times I die ONLY BECAUSE MY TEAM SUCKS!! but that's the game you either die or you don't so if you don't like dying sometimes then play killer and if you don't like not getting a 4k every time then play survivor and if you don't like either then go play fkn Fortnite!!

I'm a former killer main that now plays mostly solo or duo survivor. Killer is definitely less boring, but it's also far more stressful experience in the long run. Facing t-bagging SWF survivors with OoO will burn you out eventually. I've seen survivor main streamers say to man up and "why are you getting mad of ctrl button" but anytime they happened to play killer daily and got t-bagged, they started camping and tunneling the survivors instantly, basically the biggest hypocrites.

Survivor overall is less stressful but also more boring if your team doesn't want to repair gens and you need to carry their slack. I can also listen music as i don't have to focus as much on surroundings as a killer.

Some prefer one over the other. I prefer survivor over killer. As survivor, I run into less toxic games. Yeah there are toxic killers out there, but it seems that there are far more toxic survivors. I play random public games and it just depends on the game. There are some great team helper randoms out there. I try to help my team constantly. One match on Midwich with Deathslinger as killer, I helped hide a survivor as we were at a dead end on the stairs. I used in game emotes to tell them where killer was. Basically pointing to the corner to stay there and follow me when he left.

I've got at least 100 screenshots of killers that were way lower rank then me in the past 2 weeks.

I play both killer and survivor pretty equally, but when I play survivor it's almost exclusively with a friend or two.

I'm decent at survivor (mid red ranks), but nothing spectacular. I stay busy and I take my turn being chased/hooked. I can loop for a bit but I still lose more chases than I win as survivor.

It's fun because I'm not so good that the game feels too easy and I'm not so bad that it feels too hard. A flashlight save is still an exciting surprise for me.

I like the thrill of it and a killer chasing me killer for me is boring i like everything from surviving a killer then escaping and doing good plays to confused the killer such satisfaction

And I don’t understand how people can enjoy being looped, blinded, and T-Bagged enough to main killer. It’s an equal argument

This, even playing without comms everything is a lot more enjoyable with a friend, not to mention i wouldn't have been bothered with even playing surv if 1.killer times were intolerable at times and 2.Killer didn't occasionly suck the life out of me

Personally I find it pretty much the other way around. Yes playing survivor is frustrating when you get forehead teammates against a kill you know you could beat if they weren't so bad. But not every game is like this, the reason why people come back to solo survivor is because if you get good teammates against a balanced killer on a fairly balanced map the game is actually pretty fun.

Now on the other hand I personally find killer way more stressful to play than survivor. Now I am not an insanely killer and I have never mained killer but I would consider myself average. When I play killer I mainly play casually (e.g- no slugging or camping and giving last guy hatch if their teammates were bad.) but because there is no match making system I constantly end up getting out with people who are way above my skill level, meaning I have to sweat my balls off just to try and get a 4k. I don't think I will play killer that much again because of Billy's nerf seeing he was the only killer I have mained in the past (not maining killer but I played him when I played killer.)

I play both sides even though I do tend to play Killer more I will say this.

Swf is usually the most fun and least stressful way to play you get to have a good time with your friends and overall it's a lot easier because of how effective your communication can be.

Killer is usually the most stressful as you heavily have to manage your time effectively and you really can't afford to make mistakes

Solo survivor honestly is usually a flip of the coin it's so heavily based on your teammates that it can pendulum swing from being stressful to fun. I typically play Lone Wolf when I play solo Survivor but even then I still have to vaguely rely on the other people and surviving with.

I play survivor cause queue times for killer are longer than like 3 matches as survivor, only to get matched against people 10 ranks higher than me :\ killer is more fun, sure, but not worth waiting for unbalanced matches 75% of the time.

Playing last night as killer it was so stressful. It was clearly that that player was speed hacking. That is the issue I encounter very often Playing as killer. They always out run the killer like it is impossible to get closer to them. That is one of the reasons why I enjoy playing survivor more often. Although I can't out run the killer but I can dodge and make them lose me.
