Just Not Very Fun

Quite honestly out of all my experiences playing both sides the survivor side has to be the least fun to play. Some of the killers you go against are tolerable when it comes to running from them, but some just down you way too quickly.

Huntress is still insane I don’t know how the devs allow a killer to be packed with one hit down hatchets, ebony Mori’s with the ability to recover from throws and hits as fast as killers do just to knock you down shortly after.

killers find survivors way too easily in this game and there’s not enough hiding on some of these maps for them. Gens are also squeezed together too close particularly Azarovs Resting place.

I cannot express how frustrating that map is when I saw 4 gens lined up on my screen when standing atop one of the hills. It’s just not worth playing at that point. Like why try when the killer doesn’t have to go far to keep you from doing your objective? Might as well back out because you’re simply wasting your time unless you want to die. So for all of those people that complain about survivors who “hold the game hostage” or cry about keys it’s probably because they can’t do their objective.

Yeah yeah “shouldnt have 3 genned yourself” right? Lol... look at the map sizes in relation to the killers speed/ability to maneuver through the map. Coupled with lack of hiding 😂 whenever I play killer I have almost no problem getting 3-4K every single game. Such entitled killers.

    It’s almost ridiculous how often I go into matches as a solo survivor and find that we almost never escape. How come Bubba doesn’t hit his chainsaw on the wall when I’m hugging it as he’s using his chainsaw attack? I can clearly see his chainsaw hitting the wall. He shouldn’t be able to do that. It literally doesn’t make sense. Just too many frustrations with survivors being too weak imo

    Please be respectful to each other. There is no need to be rude and aggressive about something. If this continues, the thread has to be closed.

    I have actually split the post to make it easier to read.

    Okay let me go through it.

    1-hit Hatches? Yeah unfun. Moris? Too.

    Killers can find survivors to easily? Ever seen a blendette who knows what she is doing?

    Azarovs Resting Place? Split up. Doing all gens on one side is the survivors fault.

    Keys? Having a free "get out of jail"-card if you 3-genned yourself isn't balanced.

    "I can easily 3k/4k!" - Yeah, most survivors aren't that good. Your point?

    Well then I might as well make this into a full paper because I have enough reasons For why I believe it’s not fun to have an intro, body and conclusion. However, that would require me to elaborate otherwise each paragraph would be too skinny. Meh, I don’t know how much I care.

    OK well i actually took the time to read this blob. Here are my takes

    • Huntress is pretty easy to counter because she is so loopable , here is a tip. Bait her at pallets for her to pull up her hatchet, she will then move way slower and you can run another 1-2 times on that loop, and keep doing this until she goes for an m1 then throw the pallet, windows are also very dangerous so you have to be careful
    • Iri hatchets are op and so are moris, but iri hatchets and moris are on the dev's list to be nerfed so stop complaining.
    • That's the thing, you say they down them too quickly and that just means your team isn't good, plenty of survivors out there can run a normal m1 killer for at least 2 gens if the killer doesn't break off, with the stronger ones like freddy or spirit and maybe even pp head you have to be way more cautious during chases. Requiring you to use your brain instead of me loop me stun killer me run to loop and repeat. Adapt to the high level playstyles
    • Azarovs is hella killer balanced so no comment besides they should definitely nerf that
    • Hiding all game is so boring just like 3 gens are, just one can be countered by every survivor while immersion can only be countered by one killer and that's the doctor
    • Yeah 3 gens are on your team, your team should have gone to the other side of the map rather than doing all the gens on one side
    • Map sizes, really, is that where you wanna go? When we have maps like ormond, haddonfield, disturbed war, midwich, mother's dwelling do i need to go on?
    • What rank are you at for both sides and what killer do you use to consistently get 4ks?

    A blendette can’t do anything to counter screaming though 😂 infectious fright or dragons grip and you found her 😂

    Okay clearly you have no idea what I’m talking about when I say 4 gens literally lined up on one side of the map. I don’t think you realize how game breaking that is even if you do the other 3 gens on the other side of the map. The killer doesn’t have to worry about going to the other side of the map. That last gen becomes almost impossible on a small map like that 😂 it’s even worse when you factor in how many survivors have already died by the time you get to that point.

    CALM SPIRIT WANTS TO

    • Know your location

    On a real note, it's called move to the other side of the map, do the middle gen on both sides, so the killer has to cover more distance, then split up on gens. It's that easy it's just way harder in solo q than in SWF

  • Xzan

    Yeah and every killers uses IF or DG. And of course everyone plays Doctor.

    You clearly don't have good teammates if they die so fast. And if 1 keeps the killer busy, you have enough time to do at least 1 gen on the 4-gen-side. Again, survivors fault.

    you seem to forget That it is a strategy to force 3 gens. But imagine being able to force a 4 gen. 😂 4 gens lined up in a row on a small map like Azarovs. That’s a problem. That middle gens spawn location should never drift off into either side of that map. A lot of the Killers have good enough speed + pop goes the weasel to keep the gens under control when they are THAT close together. survivors can’t do them.

    its not hard to down even the best survivors in this game -.-. I think when I tend to fail as killer is when they are too good at hiding lol windows are broken to me because you clear it with a fast vault and the killer swings at it and still gets the hit. Even though you clearly made it. The killers reach on the lunge attack is already ridiculous. To be honest I don’t think the walls are long enough because killers can lunge around the wall and land a hit through the window even after the survivor has cleared it. That’s What I’m talking about when I say it’s easy to down survivors in this game. There are too many dead zones where survivors are simply not allowed to waste the killers time. 😂

    I had no idea someone could do that. I want to say Thank you 😂 but I also feel like that kind of access seems kind of intrusive? 😂 oh well

    For one i asked for you rank, second if you think 3 gens work against the best of survivors you must be mistaken, usually the best option is to tunnel one out the game, to make it a war of attrition. Its not hard to down the best of survivors? I'd like to see you face noob3, ayrun,the jrm, or any other big survivor streamer, face 4 of them, and get a 4k. That would be some real entertainment. Because realistically, that isn't possible, Unless you are self proclaiming yourself as the best of the best it's not easy to down good players, Hell give a decent team ormond and they will easily win due to map size and abundance of pallets.

    Survivor was and still is the easier role of the 2. Just because people play bad, doesn't mean it is difficult. Play with 3 friends on a regular basis and you will see how hilarious easy the game is most of the time, boosted potatoes are everywhere on each side since the ranking system is pointless. When survivors are unable to stay in a chase for a minute, they are bad.
