What is truly a problem playing against a Killer as a Survivor?

Which of these strategies do you find most annoying legitimately, and/or hate so much you'd nerf them?

    I only say none because all of these terms have kind of lost their meaning. Slugging is counterable so I don't see a problem there, I personally never get facecamped, and people who say they do define it as the killer being within your line of sight which is stupid, (although legitimate facecamping exists at lower ranks) and at this point tunneling can be defined as when the killer chases a survivor.

    Facecamping

    Facecamping but only because for some reason my teammates always seem to turn 1 guy getting face camped, into 3 or 4 people all hooked.

    Facecamping

    At least if someones tunneling I can waste time. Theres nothing I can do if they’re face camping.

    You should add an option that says "Moris", it's the only thing that really bothers me.

    Facecamping

    Tunneling is annoying but facecamping completely stops you from playing the game at all so yeah. It also has no counterplay because you can try some stuff when you're being tunneled but facecamped??? You're just there vibing on the hook lol

    It's not as common but not as rare either. Yes, even on red ranks.

    Facecamping

    Facecamping is the most frustrating part of DBD. It must be boring for the killer! Tunneling and slugging I get, but facecamping is plain tiring. It's not like camping where a perimeter is set, and you hook a survivor to attract stronger survivors.

    I say none just because these are all valid strategies to win as the killer. Yes they're frustrating to play against but how else can the killer win if we deem every method annoying or OP ♡♡

    None of these are really issues.

    The only real issue on survivor side is a bad ranking system and a broken rank reset that leads to lots of survivors being boosted to ranks they shouldn't be at. This leads to you getting on average, quite bad/potato teammates that don't know what they're doing.

    I appreciate your input, hence why I put that useful "None" section in there. And I tend to agree with you, except Facecamping which I do feel strongly about, but EVEN then it usually doesn't benefit a KIller and punishes them in the long run with being bored out of their minds and low bloodpoints.

    If facecamping were more common I would consider it an issue. The only reason I don't is because it's insanely rare. I mean I see someone get facecamped literally maybe once every 30 games? If that. I typically think a lot of people consider scenarios facecamping that really aren't.

    Also as you mentioned, when they do facecamp they are basically throwing the entire game and losing just for that 1 kill. So even when it's done it isn't a winning strategy that benefits them, it just lets them get their anger out on that one person.

    As a Killer player having done this early on (as in, SO so early), being a r-word salt-bag I can confirm that it is exactly that. Similar to Killers who run in a straight line at every generator they see, smash it, then get tilted when someone dares repair it because they're on the other side of the map.

    Ah, not paying attention to scratch marks. The literal bane of my existence it was

    Tunneling

    Tunneling as it ruins the fun for me (I'm terrible at chases).

    Facecamping, while really annoying, at least also wastes the killer's time so my teammates (if they're clever) can do other things.

    Slugging is annoying but counterable

    Facecamping

    Facecamping has kind of lost it's meaning but actual face camping, before the end game is a problem when it happens.

    It's rare, it's extremely beatable and not even an effective strategy, but it's just boring.

    The vast majority of the time people are using it, they aren't even trying to win anymore they're just being toxic and trying to ruin the match for whoever they got hooked for one reason or another.
