Context: I'm from XBOX, I was a rank 1 killer and survivor 4 months ago, came back like 3 day ago de ranked to rank 20, I'm a rank 7 killer and rank 6 surv right now (I haven't grinded that much), so, I can talk about my experience from grey ranks to purple ranks.

As killer: PC players are WAY too easy to kill, console players are as tryhards as always

As Survivor: PC killers are a great challenge when going vs Nurse, Freddy or Spirit, Console killers are the same as always. PC teammates are bots... Console teammates are mostly good players BUT I've played with a lot of Sandbaggers.


How about you guys? How's it going for you?

Edit: I have played on PC too and I think shooters are EASY AH when using mouse and keybord and a controller actually gives me a challenge, other people feel the complete opposite, they say aiming with controller is the easiest way to play. Just wanted to share my experience and perception, I don't intend to trigger someone by it. I just want to know how's it going for you guys, it's nice to read other people's perception to have a wider concept base

    What? This is not bait at all... Just wanted to share MY experience and perception, how's it been for you?

    Your post sounded like you feel like a god in dbd and everybody not playing on Xbox is a noob. This is why I reacted like that.

    As context: i play mainly surv on PC and my alt account is PS4 both r1. (~2k hrs) so I know what I am talking about survivor wise.

    I haven't really noticed any difference. There seems to be good players on all platforms and noobs as well.

    Nah, I'm not a god, I am a good player, but not a godlike Nurse main. I lack that kind of skill, and no, a good PC nurse is better than any console killer. I'm just sharing my experience, it doesn't mean all PC players are bots or noobs, I might just be lucky enough not to have faced a good PC SWF from rank 20 to 7 as killer

    Normal, I don't see much difference with the other platforms. Although sometimes I feel like console killers find it a bit difficult to make hits.

    Honestly, i'm surprised that some people have very different comments about their experience with the other platforms.

    This is exactly why I made this post, some PC players say they obliteerate console survs, some PC players say the exact opposite, just wanted to know the common perception, hope this helps

    I may sounded salty. I am a bit triggered because I play PC and PS4 and obviously there is not difference in my skill when I play.

    I know many people who play dbd on all platforms and I think that if you are a good player it doesn't matter on which platform you are. For example If I play on PS4 I use my capture card and headphones so I don't really feel a difference at all...

    PC here, not much difference. Console Players try to 360 a lot, but I guess this will go down, because it does not really work against PC-players. But other than those free Hits, I did not notice much of a difference.

    Even faced a Console-Nurse two days ago, was fun.

    I believe it's a more complex variable, it depends on your hability with specific gadgets, I have played on PC and I think shooters are EASY AH when using mouse and keybord and a controller actually gives me a challenge, other people feel the complete opposite, they say aiming with controller is the easiest way to play. Just wanted to share my experience and perception, didn't intend to trigger someone by it. It's actually great to know someone like you who feels no difference between console and PC

    Queue times are many orders of magnitude better. No difference in the quality of players/matches/etc. PC NA EST

    I've pretty much had the exact opposite experience.

    I'm on PC. Rank doesn't matter, I have gotten into the Red Ranks before but I haven't played for a very long time and my rank was already back to 20. I actually came back because of the new matchmaking system Behavior added but today I found out that they DISABLED IT!

    One thing I've noticed is that in basically every lobby, I get console survivors. They vastly outnumber PC players it seems.

    As Survivor: Console Survivors seem well..they tend to run over to the Killer as soon as they hook a Survivor, not even waiting until the Killer leaves. More often than not, the Console Survivor's are just a pile of bodies in front of the Killer.

    Against Console Killers, it seems very easy and funny to be honest. An easy way for me to tell if it's a PC or Console Killer is by just sitting in a corner. All of my Survivor's wear dark clothes and since Consoler's don't have a monitor right in their face they totally miss me every time. It's hilarious. Against PC Killer's, there's about a 40% chance that'll work and if it doesn't they stare at me like "This motherf-" and slap my #########.

    As Killer: It's mainly just me stomping Console Survivors because they're the same as described above. I swear, Ghostface must be top tier to you guys. I even had a game where there was two PC SWF Survivors and two Console Survivors. PC SWF's are the cancer of this game by the way, or at least to PC Killers. But anyway, at first I thought every Survivor in that game was competent since they were effectively getting gens done, picking up slugged Survivors, etc. I thought the game was lost. But after all of the gens were finished I had managed to kill off the SWF's and pretty much just killed off the Consolers in what felt like 30 seconds..

    Hey dw. All good. I am playing on PC with controller as well. Now that I think of it, this may be the reason why I don't feel any difference xD

    It's been great personally, can't speak for everyone of course.

    I KNOW! I post it based on my experience in forums, where people were mislead based on your rank, platform, experience, etc. So, I just jump that barrier and post it since the begining
