Is there any way to avoid encountering same killer and similar map over and over?
This is one of the reason why I took a break from this game for a week. Is it just me or does anyone else experiencing the same thing? It's quite annoying when the game offers you the same killer over and over. It's cool for 1-2 matches but same killer 3-4 matches in a row? Last time It was Legion day. The other day, it was The Spirit day. It's not about win or lose, fair or unfair, it's not fun. Btw, I've been playing this for almost 2 months now and why have I not encountered Demogorgon yet? I really want to play against him. I have encountered Oni and Plague but it's so rare. Is it because nobody is playing as them?
The map as well. Now I know that there are offerings for choosing map. But still why my 80% of my match without using those offering is in a map that has similar atmosphere like Macmillan Estate, Autohaven Wreckers when there are other interesting maps that have different structures, offers you different vibe and make you change the strategy like Yamaoka Estate or Hawkin's National Laboratory? It's supposed to be random right?
Don't get me wrong, the game is fantastic and majority of the matches are fair. Amazing asymmetrical pvp. I don't hate any killer or survivor. But going in same place, dealing with same killer, nearly having the same experience in every match is not fun. If I offended you, I'm sorry. But do you have the same experience? And is there any way to prevent this especially avoiding same killer?

No, there’s no way to avoid playing against the same killer. Unfortunately there are just some killers that are played much less than others, so you’re unlikely to see them often. Because the killers are played by other people it’s just down to their preference and what they choose to play.

Thank you! Guess I have to play as killer more often.

ya, keep complaining to the devs and force them to make other killers viable.
Although the devs are never going to change maps in a meaningful way. They added a few breakable walls to a couple maps and that was it, never heard about breakable walls again.

Killer is random, its just unfortunate that some killers arent as powerful as others so a lot of players don't use them.
As for maps I swear the chances to get certain maps increases changes daily. For example I got The Game 5 times today as survivor, ######### is that? As killer I've gotten nothing but Corn maps and Asylum.

For the map an offering should do. For the killer some are good some are bad sadly most of the killer are bad so they dont see play

Sorry I thought it was a valid point to argue.

Goddamn. I feel the same about the map, it's getting worse. I'm glad to know other people are feeling the same way.

So cheat to see what killer is in your lobby, got it.

if you're fast enough and on pc you might be able to kill the process if the first tip is the killer hint (like talking about totems as an example) and you are fast enought o avoid the dc strike. probably not wortht he risk though since if you do it too often assuming you were fast enougha nd weren't, enjoy the ban
I like to send survivors to hawkins and then try to make it to the safe gens first as i watch the other survivors get picked off btw sometimes. it's funny. I do that when I get bored, more rarely when I am in a bad mood due to toxic swf blaming me for their butbuddy getting itself tunneled. as survivor, hawkins is my way of blowing off steam or just having alittle bit of close ranged fun and as killer it's a green or pink mori.

its not cheating if it's allowed by the devs,you wont get banned for it

It's the "i need to play viable killers to have a chance" mentality. Those people just don't want to adapt and want an ez mode.
Legion?? He's weak, but people like them for the gameplay and aesthetics. He's popular

It takes 10 seconds to find a YT video showing how to do this with a text editor. I dare you to post a link. Let's see how long you last here.

Considering the log file you're talking about is encrypted now I'd say they weren't exactly thrilled by people doing it.
Luckily they knew that trying to punish people for doing it would be a waste of time (impossible to conclusively prove unless they confess to doing it) and instead they fixed the core of the problem.

I didn't find any video showing that,and trust me,I searched for it for some time until I figured it out by myself.

So you admit that you are using it? Then you really shouldnt complain about anything a killers uses or does. Thats so stupid.

Well both come down to somewhat bad balancing on the devs side of things
A lot of killers are underperforming when it comes to going against similar or higher ranked players even more so if they have a lot of “crutch” perks and are in a group
The map thing honestly is just in need of if I played Red Forest I shouldn’t get that or Temple of Purgation for at least a few matches unless it’s not possible to block it due to other players last played maps
The killer thing and possibly map thing will with the new mmr get a lot worse as at higher mmr it will only be Nurse, Spirit, and Freddy and the survivor side will be the sweat squads usually playing ormond offering every game

Bring some map offering if you are tired of the same map. Sadly killer are random but the best killer are played more often

It's not encrypted, that's why you can literally just do a search in a log file with notepad. They've made this stupid easy to do. If the devs didn't want it used it could simply not write the information to the log file, it serves no purpose anyway, except another way to ######### over killers. It's also widely used. Lobby dodging survivors are very common once someone in the SWF doesn't like the killer.

That used to be the case until the midchapter patch, but not anymore. I went and double checked and here's the two most recent lines from my log file, last updated yesterday when I last played DBD.
And it does serve a purpose, it can help when reporting bugs, errors and other unintentional behavior as it logs everything that happens in the game. But with encryption it's less open for abuse by random players, while BHVR can obviously just decrypt the log file of someone they requested it from and get actually useful information out of it.

For maps I would suggest bringing offerings. For killers don’t be surprised if you’re at high ranks as most people there only use top tier killers or just a killer that id B+ tier

Yep, you're right, I went to check myself. When I first heard about it was like 2 or 3 weeks ago and it was all plaintext. Good. I wonder what method they're using now, cause I definitely still see lobby dodging.

How the the hell an I admiting on using it?If I know how to do it,it doesnt mean im using it or still using it, also dont bother replying I dont wanna hear from people like you.

There are 15 realms, 35 maps.
MacMillan and Autohaven realms have 5 different maps each. If I play DBD for 6 hours I’ll get these two realms loaded out 95% of my matches (especially back to back to back loadouts with these two)
Coldwind has 5 maps, and again, I often get these as the majority; just not as much as Mac or Auto.
Springwood also has 5 maps but I rarely get sent there. Backwater, Red Forest, Crotus, and Yamaoka all have 2 maps each. The rest of the realms only have one map.
Of the 12 realms aside from Mac, Auto & CW (that’s 20 maps!) I’ll only get sent to a few maps of those realms when playing a 6 hour DBD session.
Thanks for the post, btw...
Nice to know I’m not the only one always getting sent to MacMillian & Autohaven :)

For the past week I've gotten macmillian estate 4/5 of every game. Its getting tedious and annoying, the only walls are jungle gyms that are in deadzomes at the far corners of the map with nowhere to run except middle building that has quite literally no way to lose the killer. When I play killer its still the same, except its the map with the big tree in the middle, its pretty annoying playing the same map over and over and over again, especially since I don't like either map.
