Why killer mains think they are underwelming

speaking as a killer main:

It's more that a lot of survivors don't 'let us play' so to speak.

from a certain point on many will run the exact same perks and tactics, rendering a lot of killer abilities obsolete as it calls either for running the exact same perks on every killer AND playing exactly the same, or... well, there's not much of an or aside from purposefully deranking to get better survivors.

i dont know why killer mains get so upset over this as the game is a survival/horror game, so the main objective is to survive. you will never please everyone either side just complains how the other side is so (BOO HOO) unfair

I don't really have an opinion on whether the game favors one side or the other, as I don't think I'm experienced enough with both sides, but Killer is always a thousand times more stressful. You have to be there for the entirety of the game every single match. If you get killed as a survivor halfway through a bad match, you just queue up again, no big deal. You can't die as the Killer. If the match sucks, you have to see it through. Thankfully on either side, bad matches tend to end quickly, but because survivor progress feels inevitable as the killer, the stress of each generator going off is much greater. It's a lot more loosey-goosey as a survivor. Yeah, the killer might've gotten a lot of hooks already, but I'm pretty confident I can loop long enough to buy another gen, maybe 2 if I'm doing really well and my team is actually awake.

And if I die, again, that's it, I'm out, next match. If I don't die, I can look forward to the hatch or the generators being auto-completed when the hatch is closed. Second chances for me as a survivor as built into the game, which is probably the right way to go about it, but you don't feel that same sort of chill "it's alright, I'll just do this" as games near their climaxes as a killer. It just gets more and more stressful.

Unless the survivors are potatoes, in which case you don't want to play too well because you want everyone to get more points and have a better experience than just getting annihilated by the sweatiest man alive. It's really hard to find that same sort of chill satisfaction on killer as you get as a survivor.

Of course, whenever I play survivor half the team is cleansing dull totems and searching for treasure in the basement and crouching directly in front of the killer, hoping he doesn't see them, but again, it's not terribly stressful as much as it gives me something fun to complain to myself about. "Oh there goes Meg again, Megging it up." On a killer, it's 100% on me. I miss a swing and I've got no one to blame but myself. I misjudge the distance to a hook and let someone wiggle free, I feel like a complete idiot. It goes on and on like that. But in the end, I still have a lot of fun as killer despite the added stress and the ironic occasional feeling of helplessness.

In my opinion, on most maps, if you take 4 Survivors and 1 Killer of equal skill, the Survivors will usually come out on top.

You don't have to break all bones, just remember where they are so in case of noed you can cleanse them, this is not an easy thing for a solo player though.

Have you wondered why so many killers use corrupt and pop at the same time? Because in some maps it is needed unless you have high mobility killers so you don't get rushed and no I'm not complaining about gen rushing.

Most killers use almost the same perks because the game ends too fast if it's a good swf team, not all killers have the same skill as great killers not all killers play the same.

It all really depends, just like someone above said as well, imagine having a killer then gets nerfed because of constant complains, 1v4 is harder than a 4v1, killers have to rely just on themselves and survivors don't, a single mistake can mean the end of the game that is for both sides but it feels worse when it's a simple mistake or auto aim that makes you lose it.

Also an instant save with BT is what some killers hate the most since most of the time, the recently unhooked survivor will body block with BT even when you are not going for them, then if the killer downs them after the 15 seconds, the killer will get ######### talked because it is "tunneling" even when the survivor knew it wasn't.

Don't look at the game from one side, see from yourself both sides, I'm a killer main but I play survivor, I understand the killer side and why they have to play the way they do, I play survivor and refuse to use broken perk combos like DS+unbreakable, or OoO with both of those or OoO with off the record, because it is unfair.

At low skill game is killer side. At high skill, no matter u do or perfect u play probably u lose because survivors are very effective and efficiently making objectives, u can do 4/5 hooks but at this time al gen done. U only hope is a survivors mistake or camping and tunnel. Win is some time luck with killers and u think u can control the game and this is frustrating. I play 90% play survivor so dont come to tell me i killer side. SWF only help some survivors to be more effective doing objectives but 4 solo Q high skill can be effective and efficiently like 4 Swf

I tend to play both sides and I understand what killers usually tend to mean when they're making these complaints.

Here's the thing:

They're the killer, they're supposed to be the biggest obstacle for Survivors which when Survivors work together this is an obstacle they can overcome eventually. Hence the main objective of Generators

As a killer you want to feel like the boss, the threat, something that Survivors have to reluctantly deal with, but at the same time determined to beat you to achieve their goal of escaping and living another day. But they just want to be more than a body guard for generators and they want to feel like survivors at times. The sense of, "well that was a decent match time to queue up another." whether they win or lose.

Either way it could be on them for not patrolling gens well or some other reason, but at the same time they want to be that obstacle that will impede Survivors as a whole. You have a blinking nurse, map manipulation Executioner, gunslinger, madness inducing doctor, and a cloaking killer.

The powers help a heck of lot when you know what you're doing, but at the same time you start to chase a Survivor, but you can't go without worrying about a gen getting done during the chase and you want to get the chase over with.

Like you said killers have crutch perks too like NOED, and add-ons like infinite tier 3 Myers, but it all depends on your team and like Survivor crutch perks they have their weakness just... A little more nerve-wracking and stressful.

NOED could be cleansed as soon as it lights up

Stealthy players can hide from Myers and it can take forever to get to tier 3

(We don't talk about Iri Head Huntress because 1: Not much killers use it, because they KNOW it's broken as hell and when they do it's probably a tome challenge or they just feel bored and 2: It's a add-on we have, but we tend to ignore it at times)

So, while you do bring up the subject that yes, it's true killers have crutch perks of their own just like Survivor's crutch perks it's always the sense/mindset of:

"Will I be able to put this to use?"

My problem with 2 kill 2 escapes for killer is that the emblem system doesn't reward 2k at all. If 2 survivors escape it means that at least Gatekeeper and Devout emblems will be silver at best and on higher ranks it's a black pip or even a depip.

I know that ranks don't really matter with the new MMR but considering that it's entirely hidden and doesn't show in any way how well or poorly you did in a match then rank and pips kinda remain the only measure of success. And by this measure 2k is not a very good result.
