Red rank killer mentality

Have fun before anything else, someone gets toxic? Well two can play at that game. But as long as you're playing normally it's a normal fun game for me even if it's a 0k.

The game is always unbalanced for me, but I really don't complain to the survivors on the EGC, everytime I want to try dumb stuff like dumb perk combinations I always get ######### on.

Just play for your fun man, this is what this game taught me over the 2 years that I've played, just play for your fun and no one else's

Eh, I personally slug a lot. I don't see it as being sweaty, just a way of keeping decent map pressure, but I get a lot of negative comments when I do it.

What are you considering playing sweaty on the killer side? I literally can't think of a single thing that would give me that impression if I was on survivor.

Why in the world do some people still care about pips? They've never been a good indicator of who won the match. You can have two literally identical matches with the exact same events and scores and time and outcome, etc, and the only difference is the ranks of the players in the match, but if you are high rank you lose a pip or don't gain a pip and if you are mid-rank you gain a pip. But obviously who "won" the matches in that case should be the same! They're an extremely inconsistent way to determine the winner of a match.

So pips are strictly for matchmaking purpose, and not even that once they eventually reintroduce the currently disabled new MMR system. I'll never understand the obsession some players have with pips and rank.

Yeah I doubt it was a fully solo team. I can't even recall the last time I had a full solo game in red rank, let alone any rank.

I'm not saying it was, I just said I doubt it was a full solo game, that is so so so incredibly rare at red ranks. Like so rare I don't think they actually exist.

How so? You dont like being slugged so now its cheap and lazy?

I think the killer has PTSD going against SWF. Too poor that they get a wrong impression of the game just because of how well a SWF can perform.

Slugging is only a waste of time if you have time to hook. If you don’t it’s a waste of a survivor’s time.

You down someone and walk away. That’s a slug.

You down someone, pick them up, walk to a hook, hook them, then walk away.

That’s a lot of time.

Except there are many ways for survivors to stop you from hooking someone. And the better the team is, the less likely you're going to just be able to do clean hooks.

Maybe you were too good and made them work hard for his kills. It feels extremely stressful to handle 4 person alone. The harder the match the more they want a complete wipe, not only a win since it feels the most satisfying for them? I don't know and stopped caring for killer long ago.

I think dbd needs a second objective either for killer or survivor. Another asymmetrical game called evolved had several win conditions for the power role. They could either kill the opposing team or destroy several objectives. I can't remember if the team also had a second objective beside killing the monster.

Right now the survivor have a goal completely beside the killer while the the killer has the survivor themselves as his only objective. (Yeah I know also stopping gens but that is nearly impossible given the killer can't be everywhere at once, the regress speed is not really up to the killer and the regress can be stopped while passing by the gens with a short tap).

because this game is designed in a way to be frustrating, even if you win. If you spend thousands of hours actually getting good at the game, your thousands of hours of painstaking grind mean nothing in the face of one dead hard or bt or ds. I've often gotten 3ks and 4ks and felt like I lost because of this. It may be surprising to you, but most killers don't care about how many kills they get, they care about how much fun they have. The game is specifically designed to be as frustrating as possible, especially for killers. It is not fun to go against higher rank survivors, because the game is so heavily skewed towards survivors at high ranks, as the devs balance the game by stats collected by rank 15-10 survivors.

That freddy you faced is not a real main killer in my opinion.

When you have enough hours playing killer you realize that your aim is to get a ruthless/merciless killer, not a 4k.

You can 4k and have a bad performance, which is a nonsense to me.

Besides, if you don't play for performance and you want a 4k, your toxicity at the game will increase considerably.

The only thing that gets me mad sometimes is getting a brutal killer or entity displeased. That means that my performance wasn't good enough.

Survivors when killers lose: apply more pressure

Survivors when killers slug/other: StAhp rUinIng mY FUN!

I don’t think this is a red rank killer thing really, I’ve had plenty of red rank killers say gg even if all four escape and I usually do the same when I’m killer. But people who want to sweat for 4Ks every single game will usually end up at red rank so you’re more likely to see them there.

its because 0-1 kill is a loss 2 kills is a tie and 3 kills is a close victory and 4 is an absolute win.

still seems dumb if the last got out through the doors though sounds like it was a close victory

The issue there is survivors that feel the need to taunt. As small of a gesture that shouldn't bother anyone, but still. In the end.. sincerely....LEAVE. amirite?

Maybe the game wasn't fun for him. And if the door was opened he most likely didn't pip.

And if you were solo you can't guarantee that all 3 others were solo as well. 4 man solos are very rare on purple and red ranks, even rarer that 4 man SWFs.

Also you have to be sweaty to be a red rank killer. It is pretty much impossible to pip with killing less than 3 people and even if you do you might still get a black pip (or even depip but that's unlikely)

Simple really. If you pip you rank up. If you rank up you will face stronger opponents on average.

It really is the only objective indicator of success in the game. What else is there to care about if you play competitively?

Also killers that don't care about pips and don't sweat usually don't get to red ranks. With the exception of maybe top 5% players who can get there easily.

Why shouldn't the goal of the killer be to get a 4k? If you play into the red ranks why would you not have the mentality of trying your best to get the most positive outcome?
