What's the thing in dbd you do that you know you shouldn't do but do anyways?
Personally whenever I play trapper or hag I get way too into setting up my web. I completely forget to actually try to pressure gens. By the time I'm finished, there's only 1 or 2 gens left and I've already lost.
I too often don´t capitalise on a potential snowball well enough. For example, if I have a guy on the hook, 1 slugged, 1 about to be downed, I usually allow the unhook of surivor 1 to keep the game going instead of ending it right there. Might be a habit taught by the emblem system, but it cost me many games.
As a survivor I can't let anyone die, I take it very personally. Sometimes I'll sacrifice myself to save someone because THEY MUST LIVEEEEEE, RUN FREE MEG. and then obviously they die a foot away from me because they ran into a wall.
As Hillbilly, I have the tendency to pull off brilliant trick shot chainsaw charges, but if someone is literally cornered between a rock and a gen right in front of me, I WILL chainsaw the rock or gen 100% of the time.
I play hero more than I should, if I can switch places with the hooked one at the end game I'll gladly do it, it was gonna be a 3 men escaped with me as one of them, but I had to play hero and swap places...
This is going to sound stupid and a little conceited, but I'm often too merciful. I start to go easy on my opponent/s, and they take that inch and somehow turn it into a mile while I'm not looking. And, this being DBD, that cannot wait to brag about the fact that they won... Even though I clearly, and deliberately, gave them the opportunity to do so.
As killer, I have a bad habit of getting locked into chases and have to remind myself sometimes to stop and go back to pressuring gens.
As survivor, I have a bad habit of running into walls, trees and other obstacles when being chased - it got worse when the changed the FPS rate, but I'm slowing adapting to it.
The way I run loops as both killer and survivor. I don't run them tight enough (because I always run into stuff otherwise) and if I could stop doing that I'd be a 100x better player.
As a killer, I have a habit of farming for bloodpoints or hooks rather than just taking someone out of the game at times to "win the game". Not directly face camping but when you hook 2 people and they didn't rescue the first person yet, the "ideal" play is to stand near the 1st guy to force a phase 2 since it's coming shortly anyway but I usually just let them rescue so I can down them again and get another hook. I might be breeding the greedy gen finishing survivors who don't go for rescue immediately.
As a survivor, I believe my random allies will do anything more than hide in a locker or crouch behind a rock waiting for everyone else to die so they can hatch out and still depip. I've been shown repeatedly that given 0 heartbeat or spine chill on the otherside of the map - a lot of survivors will just creep around rather than do an objective but I still have some mistaken bit of hope. Probably the other reason I never really give up as killer until I see the score screen since pepegas will pepega.
Killer: I get very swing happy. Sometimes I just swing windly and miss 3/4 times in a row. Usually happens when I'm getting too comfortable in a game.
Survivor: Trying to block a killer from hitting a survivor I usually block the survivor by accident. I always misjudge where they want to run and block them.
Too much Spine Chill. It's not really a necessary perk, especially not after the years of DbD I've played, but it's just sooooo pleasant to have that I pretty much run it every match. It may be an addiction...
...Also it is very handy when dealing with Ghost Face's shenanigans. Shenanigans that would otherwise be much more annoying to work around.
Insisting on using my power when I shouldnt.
Chasing one survivor for too long
Not trying new perks and builds (cause when I do... survivors fly through gens and I second guess myself skill wise)
Mindgameing myself a lot
Not playing all killers
Not playing enough survivor
My worst habit is, when I'm playing Infinite Tier-3 Myers, Stalking relentlessly until I get it and then really starting to chase and down seriously. It is a bad habit because I'm missing pressure opportunities and easy downs early. In general, I SHOULD stalk to hit Tier-2 immediately and then chase and down normal taking Stalk as convenient rather than focusing on it exclusively and giving up what would be hits to try and accelerate it.
greeding vaults to hard. Its an unexpected mingame for sure but I am in red ranks and what does every killer like to do in red rank?
double back / moonwalk like Micheal Jackson
playing clown/legion 😂
Sometimes I meet games with acceptable lags but I cannot change my habit of saving pallets in a sudden and thus grant killers free hits.
You took my answer.
Just not paying attention in general, When I know a certain tile has its pallet, I can run a killer on it for about a minute per tile. Do I check everything as I go? Nope.
How many generators have been done on the other side of the map? If I do this gen am I going to 3 gen us? LolIdunno.
What direction did the killer run off to? What direction will he come from? What pallets are up? (60% chance of me knowing where I am on the map. Other times I will make spatial errors and run into a corner just from not paying attention)
The loud sound notification has vanished. Where did I hook that guy again?
The loud sound played. Too far away. Wait what was I doing?
I ran past the hatch earlier. Where was that again?
I can't find a gen. Where were the ones I ran past earlier?
If I just paid attention I'd be a Rank 1 survivor/killer all the time, and probably a nightmare to beat.
Thinking that survivors will actually do something.
Oh they'll do something alright, just not gens,totems,or chases. They're gonna make sure the lockers aren't bugged and urban evasion still works.
exactly what I was going to say.
I always forget to break pallets when they drop them i mind game get a hit or down and hook then forget to break the pallet and they use it again in a later chase
Mindgaming myself. I always assume my opponent(s) will mix it up and do something tricky, and even if they've demonstrated they just hold W and don't look in any other direction than forwards (as both killer and survivor)... surely this time they're gonna fake the fault or something... nope! Surely the huntress won't pull out a hatchet for the 4th time and she'll walk through the pallet for a hit this time... nope! 😄
And I'm not trying to say there's anything wrong about playing like that if it works. I'm just saying it's my kryptonite.
I'll often play nicer than I should as killer.
I'll also forget to use my power; I'll play as just an M1 killer even if I'm playing a 110 speed like Huntress or something.
I'm also very lazy. "The survivors are probably all working on that gen over there... Man, Clown is too outta shape to be walking all that way... it's like, twenty whole feet, his heart can't take that." I ignore any gens that require stairs to reach. Sometimes on Haddonfield (with all those stairs and fences and crap) there are only like two gens I'm willing to patrol and the rest I can't be bothered with. (Don't burn Haddonfield against me if you're trying to get that fall-from-a-height-during-a-chase challenge done; I don't go up stairs, not even for chases. That may include porch stairs depending on how winded I'm feeling.)
I don't know if it counts as a bad habit or not, but I don't look behind me often enough in a chase as survivor. I have a lot of trouble maneuvering the camera for that and it usually ends up with me running into obstacles and consequently getting immediately downed if I try.
As killer, I don't like slugging. I know I HAVE to and I will to avoid a DS but a lot of the time I just pick someone up instead of going for another chase because I find it boring and I'm a bloodpoint #########.
As survivor, I don't drop pallets. I will greed until I die, which usually happens pretty soon. Only exception is if I'm on death hook but even then I won't use Shack pallet until at least 3 gens are done.
Depends, as a survivor I can't let anyone be facecamped, I try my best to save them even though it's the wrong choice.
As a killer, sometimes I commit way too much to the point of having to slug a lot to win.
doing the Tornado too many loops in front of the hook so eventually the surv wiggles out...
I play it too much and burn out fast. Then its a few weeks up to a month or two of breaks.
