Which role do you find more fun? (Survivor or Killer)

I find survivor more enjoyable when playing with friends as I tend to get left on the hook a lot in solo queue, but killer is also quite fun. If I had to choose I’d go with survivor though as the gameplay is much more chilled out and you’re not constantly on the go, killer can be stressful sometimes.

    Depends on my mood. I usually play killer when I'm tired of bad teammates and scummy killers.

    I find both sides equally enjoyable. Both can be a pain at times, but I like both a lot. That's probably why I just match up with whichever wait time is shorter.

    I play both sides and have 1600 hours in the game but am considered a killer main. I play survivor when I just wanna chill, run around do gens, get chased etc,... but killer is more of the challenging side. I consider survivor almost like PVE and killer is more PVP for me.

    I find killer more fun, but survivor far less stressful. So I wind up playing roughly equal amounts of both.

    Survivor even though I play on both sides.

    Killer. Survivor is boring as #########. I detest holding interact on generators, and when I am being chased, it is so uninteractive and I strongly dislike running in circles. The only time I play survivor is when I am doing challenges. Killer is very fun and I love playing almost all of them besides Billy, spirit, and nurse.

    Survivor, because I prefer being chased than the one who's chasing.

    I do play killer occasionally, mostly for the tomes and I often have fun, but I'd still prefer survivor.

    At the moment, survivor. Usually, I play both sides equally and have way more fun as killer, but ye, I can't play killer with all the bugs lol. I wanted to go back to Billy for a while to get some sexy curves, only to find out that he's bugged af and completely unplayable. Spirit is boring for me now, I'm saving up for Plague so I can completely my Oni build, and I'm not feeling Hag. So ye, I'm taking the month off of killer.

    I play both sides and find myself playing survivor more. It's just nice to only be 25% responsible as opposed to 100%. But I also played nothing but killer for the first year, so I'm enjoying the change of pace.

    killer is more stressful. Survivor is more chill. I prefere killer because is challenging and i have no friends

    Honestly I enjoyed playing survivor when I first started and never touched killed because I thought I wouldn’t like it or it would be to hard, but one day I decided I was going to give killer a shot and try not to rage at the fact I might get “out played” a lot, I considered the fact I was only rank 20 at the time so I wasn’t expecting that many troubled games, I started by looking for some suggestions on the internet of good starting killers and the one that pricked my eyes was wraith as I haven’t bought all the killers and don’t plan to, so I loaded into my first game and had the MOST FUN I’ve ever had in any game, the chases were decent and I was able to locate the survivors quickly, I ended up killing all but one survivor, I decided I wasn’t going to be “toxic or sweaty” and gave him the hatch, but after that first game I couldn’t stop playing and I was hooked so in my opinion I choose killer as my favourite out of the two

    I play killer 95% of the time now but every now and then I play some survivor. Obviously I enjoy killer way more but on survivor it's always fun to cower in a corner praying they didn't hear the locker door or didn't see you crouch behind a rock or Z wall

    I play 50/50, and that's the same way in which I enjoy playing whichever role:

    As Survivor, I play solo, so when you get those moments where everybody works exquisitly as a team with comms, or saves a Survivor during endgame it's brilliant! Likewise, I enjoy the tension of escaping or evading Killers.

    With the Killer role it's that feeling of chasing and overwhelming Survivors, especially if I can create a panic or avalanche of attacks. I also enjoy the individual abilities.

    Ultimately, I just like randomizing builds and perks, and seeing where they take me.

    If I feel like investing brain cells, I'll play killer. If I feel like just chilling, I'll play survivor.

    I like survivor best, because i like the game not as a running-in-circles-simulatior, but as a hide-and-seek game. And how that plays is in the hand of a survivor, the killer can only react to that.

    However, there are some killers i enjoy as well.
