Does Any Else Hate Playing Survivor
"Yay we didn't die." isn't exactly the feeling I want to feel. "I killed everyone!" Is a much better feeling.
To be honest you just more BP from being a killer unless you get destroyed you'll get more BP. as well as for me it takes it takes a little less skill... not saying it don't take any. I mean I just sit back and relax while I play killer. When I play survivor I have to focus on 10 things at once where's he coming from, the skill checks, my surroundings is there a TR, Make sure I throw down pallets at the right time. Whoa man I just want chill. I want to relax. Sure I'm probably low rank because I don't take the game to seriously.
Though am I the only killer main here who only Tolerates SWF

It doesn’t seem like it is SWF you don’t like...but playing survivor in general. You like playing killer, stick to that. If you don’t wanna play survivor then don’t. Some people like playing with friends and evading and escaping the killer. People like different things. There isn’t really anymore to say about it.
You are one of the first people I’ve heard say being a survivor is harder than killer. Most people would disagree with that.

@MegMain98 I'm new to the game with under 30 hours played so far, and I agree with him. I'm much more relaxed as Killer. Patrol gens, seek the hiders, chase but don't fall for a long loop, whack people.
As a Survivor, I experience same as he said. I walk out of a Survivor game tense and with a minor headache.
Then again, coming from Overwatch and Paladins, I absolutely loathe the Killer movement controls, even with my mouse sensitively changed both in-game and through Razer (I spent several hours messing around with them to get them as right as I could). There is just something about it that feels off, and turning to hit someone is a pain in the ass to get right. Same for strafe movement. And I loathe that my four opponents have both smaller hitboxes for tighter turns around objects, as well as a third-person camera spin option to see around walls and crap.
To be honest, I'm not entirely sure I'm sticking with the game.

Try an objective/stealth play style.
Playing against an SWF as a killer blows chunks. More than 2, especially. It's simply not rewarding enough

I use to care. The better I get as killer the less I care about what most other killers complain about. SWFs are definitely more coordinated but just because they are a SWF doesn't mean they are good players. They can still get mindgamed just like everyone else. Plus SWFs tend to do weird stuff like try and group up to body block or be overly-altruistic. This usually results in extra hits, downs or generators not being completed and I'm okay with that.
The only time I'll dodge a lobby now is if the lobby is full of tool boxes and I don't feel like running Franklin's. If it's 3+ tool boxes, I'm out. Gens get done at a ridiculous rate already, multiple tool boxes just suck what little fun there is in playing killers out of the trial.

Yes I know but I never turn down a match. Be 2-4 SWF I except the challange. I still kick back and relax most of the time. I don't stress it out.Rebel_Raven said:@SteveyHooves said:

I had my first experience being part of a SWF, and it didn't feel very special. No outside communication, so really it was just like any other match, except I felt a bit more obligated to save the person I was with (I met them the match before when they were playing killer and I was the obsession facing Rancor and NOED; I was so close to escaping).

I don’t know my amount of hours since I play on PS4 but I’ve been playing DBD since the end of March. Just got the platinum on the game a week ago. I honestly didn’t think I’d get addicted to it because I was firmly on the Friday the 13th bandwagon. However due to AWFUL devs for that game and lawsuits it has turned into a train wreck.
The killer controls, camera angles, and movements are different to balance the game to some degree. Can you imagine what the game would be like of the killer was in third person? It would be easy mode for killers, especially killers like Nurse and Billy. It is asymmetrical PVP, one side will be stronger but you can’t have the side be incredibly OP or the survivors would stand no chance at all. Unless you want 4 wall licking Claudettes, the killer should always be in first person.
I still don’t understand why people complain about survivors having smaller hitboxes than the killer. They are SMALLER than the killer. Why would little Feng have the same hitbox as Leatherface’s lumbering self? Doesn’t make sense.
By the way I thought I was the only one to walk out of a survivor game tense and with headaches. Must be why I’m so bitter toward certain killers. Playing survivor can be mind numbing and headache inducing.

Playing killer is like being a masochist.

@MegMain98 In my opinion, it's because like the OP said: We have a hell of a lot more to keep track of as a Survivor. I mean, I come from Overwatch and a little Paladins. I've also played Heroes of the Storm a bit. And playing Survivor is just a lot of mental gymnastics. More so than when I play those games and have to coordinate with four or five other players against five or six other players, watch map routes, calculate Ult charge (OW), et cetera.
Off topic a little: Last night I'm playing Bubba. Now, keep in mind, I am Rank 20 with like 24 hours in the game. But, as I did for Overwatch, I have watched a ton of guides, info-videos, and Streamers to learn DBD. So, A Laurie wants to Flashlight me every chance she gets. She runs to the combine (this was the cornfield map), and stays on top that hay-bail where they obviously knew I could not swipe or lunge them. Apparently, she didn't know I could chainsaw her there (I did, I saw the Billy guide that showed it, and figured Bubba could too). So, I down her.
Before I can leave, my chase music plays. I spin and there is a Jake. He's also got a Twitch name (I looked him up after the match and he is ultra-small). So, now he's on the hay-bail. He points at me, tbags at me, then tries to heal her. I down him, too.
I can't pick them up from the bail, so I climb the combine to see if I can step onto the bail to do so. As I'm doing that, they crawl down the combine. I hook them both. At this stage, between the constant flashlighting and his tbagging, they've pissed ol' Bubba off. So, I patrol the two hooks with the reving chainsaw until they are dead.
They DC just as the Entity is in the final Sacrifice animation. I laughed so hard.
The other two have three gens left to do. I find one, slug them, find the other, hook him, go back and hook the first.
The salt was real in after match chat. I laughed.
Another match, I couldn't do crap. The gens got done and the doors open with no hooks. I downed two at the open exit gates with the chainsaw, and the other two escaped. I picked them up and carried them to the barrier. What the hell, they outplayed me all Trial, they can live.
But even being a new player, I can see the severe lack of map-pressure Leatherface has. I might just give Billy a shot, instead. If Leatherface didn't slow down when charging the chainsaw, it would make a huge difference for him.

I don't know if it's SWF or just people and their game knowledge from playing a long amount of time... But it seems like the game just isn't balanced anymore. Maybe all the new perks and such. Swear to god it was easier to kill people with infinite's in the game then it is now. SWF is really busted though. I've been playing with my friends as of late. They all have like 20 hours total into DBD and it was all when the game was first released. They know nothing about the new perks in the game, the new maps, the new killers. But it doesn't seem to matter.
Every game we survive. Barely ever lose 1 player. And three of us have no idea how to play the game. I think that for sure the ranking system is #########. I'm rank 1 survivor right now. My friend are like rank 10, 13, and 16... We get rank 15-20 killers every game who have 1 perks. No idea why we can't get a higher killer. It just shows how bad SWF can abuse the game by playing with new players.
Then you get to the point that I'm a killer main... Well always have been until right now. I just feel absolutely terrible for them right now. I know they're low ranked killers and probably don't have a ton of time in the game. But I pretty much finish 1 gen and then take the killer on a chase for the last 4-5 minutes while my buddies do gens or whatever. So hard to actually get caught in this game. I don't own perks like D/S and I never use add-ons items cause I feel like it makes the game too easy. But if I did... Killers have no chance
This is a team of 3 people have no idea how to play the game and a killer main who sucks at survivor. How can it be so unbalanced around SWF? Not hat I feel like that's really the big picture. I feel like killer is at its weakest state ever right now. I just wish the game was competitive again. Miss when you could find a killer that could get a 4k game.

We can lobby dodge swfs, and still not like swfs.
And we can also realize swf is not going anywhere.
The problem isn't inherently swfs, it's people taking advantage of things the game wasn't balanced for.
There's plenty of survivors that solo.
If every killer that didn't like swfs left, there might be a bigger impact than you think.0 -
@GrannyonAcid The entire system is screwed over in a bad way. I'm new to DBD, but not new to gaming. I've been doing it since I was a kid, and online gaming since the 1990s (I'm almost 46). I also know how to study a game via YouTube and Twitch nowadays.
Let's give an example. I am a Rank 20 killer with 24 hours in the game. A few nights ago, I face a team of Survivors. Two of them, yes, half the team, had bloody clothing. After the match, I asked them about it. They have been in the game for well over a year, and mained Killer. They just now flipped to Survivor after building them up to 50 via the bloodweb, and Prestiging at least one of them. So, although they were a Rank 19 and 18 Survivor as far as the system was concerned, they were actually Red Rank players with that amount of game knowledge and experience.
Needless to say, it was a zero-kill match and gen-rushing.
The entire system needs a rework. Either remove the separate Ranks and just make it a single Rank, or make it so that a KIller can only spend bloodpoints into the Killer characters, and Survivors into the Survivor characters. You can place them into any character you wish, but only for the side you played while earning them. Track bloodpoints separately just like Rank.
Because having a highly experienced Red Rank killer player, flipping to Survivor and being grey rank, is completely asinine. Never mind an experienced player flipping sides to the grey ranks and having the bloodwebs opened to the point that they are doing mid to high Rank loadouts at Rank 19.
In a bad way, the system has inherent smurfing. Good gods, I left Overwatch because I got sick and tired of all the goddamned smurfs. So what did I do? I picked a game that has the ######### baked into it. Sigh.
This system is so frustrating, that I am actually considering shelving the game, despite absolutely loving the concept. It's a serious mental debate right now. I'm all for learning a game and getting good. Been there, done that. But this is some early 2000s design crap, and that era is gone for a reason.
Then again, I can't think of a PvP game that doesn't have a smurfing issue at this point.

i would go back to overwatch if they didnt nerf mercy so much i mean i put 100 hours into her with her resurrect ult and then they nerfed her like 5 times in a row to the point where its not fun to play her any more

Surprised this post wasn't raided with the "KiLLeR mAiN BtW" image yet, especially with the "less skill" and "more relaxing" comments. But yeah, just sounds like you enjoy killer more. I enjoy survivor more because I like being chased. People enjoy playing their preferred roles for their own reasons. Nothing wrong with that.

You seem to be extremely knowledgeable of the game for somebody who doesn’t have many hours. It is a learning curve especially if you’re used to different controls. I came from F13 where you could actually fight the killer and you run faster than the killer. DBD is a whole different playstyle, I had to adjust.
I had very little hours as killer as well before the beginning of August when I started playing killer more frequently. I was Rank 20 and I’ve worked my way up to Rank 8. Although I watched many videos such as Monto and Hybrid Panda’s video so I knew exactly what I was doing even though I rarely played killer. I don’t like being a higher ranked killer, I like being within Ranks 8-15.
Leatherface isn’t a very great killer to start off with, he is one of the weaker killers with VERY little map pressure. I’d suggest trying out Billy or Huntress (if you are good at range attacks) starting out. Nurse is a huge learning curve. Any other killer is decent to try out, Leatherface is just so weak compared to other killers. Freddy depends all on if the survivors are potatoes or not. At my rank I can get a 4K with Freddy easily despite him being dubbed the weaker killer.
Despite what killer you play you’ll have rounds where you get gen-rushed and there isn’t a way around that unless you have Hex: Ruin which depending on the map will probably get broken in the first minute. I don’t have Hag leveled up so a bunch of my games are gen rushed, but I also run end game perks so it balances out.

I like being chased as survivor rather than doing the chasing because surviving is my strong suit not killing. I loooove going against a Myers though, gotta love that chase music.
Some killers just give me a headache and I despise going again them. I got so sick of screaming from Doctor that I put Calm Spirit as one of my perks. Doctor, Spirit, and Bing Bong are my top three most annoying killers to go against. Doctor for obvious reasons, Spirit because of that irritating “HEEEE” she makes every time she swings her weapon, and Bing Bing just because I’ve got the worst luck against him especially if he has the bell clapper add-on. I swear I don’t think I’ve run into a Bing Bong at Rank 1 that DIDN’T have NOED.
The Pig is also up there too.

@MegMain98 Yeah, Leatherface needs a little work. Like I said, removing the slowdown while charging the chainsaw would be a good first step. Then see from there.
Obviously, I don't have a lot of Perks yet. So, when I go up against more experienced and bloodweb opened Survivors in the grey ranks, due to them having time in as Killer and having the Perks and knowledge, it's a bit asinine. It's like the system has smurfing baked into it (see my post-reply a little above to GrannyOnAcid for an example of what I've faced).
As Freddy, I absolutely have to get as many into the Dream World as possible and slug the living hell out of them before going for hooks. It's just way too damned easy to wake-up, otherwise. I can see why he's rarely viable at higher ranks.
Nurse. Screw nurse. I absolutely hate teleport-blinking characters. I could never master Tracer in Overwatch or Evie in Paladins for the same reason. That movement ability and me do not mix, and never will. I've learned that.
As far as game knowledge, yeah, I've spent time studying the game from YouTube videos, watching Streamers, and networking with them for tips and whatnot before ever getting into playing it steadily. I understand the game and its ins-and-outs. I won't fall for a loop, and know when to break away from it. I've already nailed Survivors by mind gaming them so they pallet vault right into my lunge. I know about the vault-feints to bait my lunge. And so forth. It's just a matter of taking that knowledge and applying it mechanically, which should come over time. The game is a lot less twitch-reflex based than Overwatch, and I got good at that game over time. So, hopefully the same happens here.
But for some reason, maybe my eyes, I have a very hard time seeing and following the scratch marks.
@TheLegendDyl4n1 , my adult daughter left Overwatch over Mercy. She was a Mercy main for our team, and very good with her. And never did the hide-and-rez crap. When they screwed Mercy over, she left and has never looked back. All they needed to do was make Rez LoS limited and remove invulnerability. This happened because pro-teams hated her with a passion, and the OWL was launching. So, she got gutted. And even that hasn't worked out well. Last time I saw, her pick and winrates were still high.
I logged into Overwatch last night. Faced a couple of smurfs that got me at first because I underestimated their level 32 and level 50 skill level (I am in the 640s). I could have easily beaten them once I figured it out, but barely tried. I realized I'm just burned out after being there since launch, and took the loss and BS tactics with a shrug. It was Quick Play, anyway. Whether or not DBD keeps me, I still need a bit of a break from OW.

You have yet to encounter a good SWF group with coms, once you encounter 1 of those, as a killer you feel powerless, unless you play nurse and you're good at it.

I hate swf but if they are working on modes. I doubt they wouldn't add a perkless mode. So when that is added i can't ######### no more. Cause then swf in this mode got to learn like in the beginning that its okay to lose one teamate. I really don't want to resort to camping swf. If i see them all pop up in lobby at same time just avoid them over and over.

The problem with survivor is that it gets boring... you only have fun by getting chased and when you're not getting chased you do gen sim... this is something the devs are working on... their going to be implementing new objectives for survivors

The only thing that bothers me about survivor is none of the horror aspects really come through, I feel way to comfortable.0

I like it in theory but I'm fed up of having ######### game after ######### game. It's either someone disconnects in the first 30 seconds leaving a 3 vs 1 game, or the killer just facecamps all game.

I'm the opposite. I get bored with killer fast, none if it feels satisfying unless the survivors are #########. I might enjoy this particular format more if the team I was against could actually fight back. But this isn't that kind of game.
I kinda wish I would have given evolved a chance instead of ignoring it.
As for survivor I enjoy it. Getting chased has its fun moments hiding I like, (I actually despise stealth games) juking etc. I enjoy helping/saving people in sacrificial moments. There's something satisfying to me if I can save someone and make sure they get away, even if I die for it.
My favorite thing in this game by far is my interaction with killers. I've made a bunch of killer friends because I message them after a match, simply to laugh and talk about things that happened in that particular game.

I enjoy it when I get to face Killers I don't see often. Playing on PS4, feels like I only ever see Hags and Doctors, and if it's not those two it's a Shape or a Trapper. Every two dozen games or so I get to go against a different kind of killer, but more often than not it goes like this.
Enter game, go to gen. Skill check red cause of Ruin? 75% chance it's a Hag, so begin crouch walking everywhere til I find the Hex totem. Is it not a Hag but a Doctor? Hope I can stay out of his terror radius, except my fellow Survivors have the uncanny talent for leading the Doctor to me. Neither Hag or Doctor but a Shape? Stealth around. Trapper? Pay attention to where I'm walking and check pallet and vault spaces.
Also recently I've had Killers tunneling me like I'm the lady of the night of the film. Chasing an injured Survivor but see me out of the corner of their eye? Chase me. Survivors scatter and fellow Survivors run in a closer direction than I do? Ignore them and chase me. Everyone got hooked twice but me, everyone is injured but me, and by chasing me they lose the opportunity to get a single sacrifice because the gates are open? Get. Tatsu.
Of course, Killer side isn't to much better since I get the tocis SWF groups who send me angry messages when I kill them threatening to report me because I must have hacked since there's no POSSIBLE way I could have gotten a 4K against their SUPERIOR skillz!
Love DBD, hate members of this community.
Thanks OP for a chance for a mini rant. Makes me feel better.

Been playing a lot of SFW but I still prefer and love to play killer. I do relax as well. Oh and playing solo survivor is a total nightmare and I expect the worst.
Chilling as killer team!1 -
I have a hate/love relationship with surviving. It can really bring my mood down if I get tunneled off the hook or if I get camped and just have to wait to die or get farmed.

I love being in control of my ability to succeed. For one, I don't want to rely on 3 random people, and I just find every survivor game the same. I can never achieve the rush of a chase as a survivor that me playing killer can. Also, I adore the nurse because of her skill cap. I know that I lost because I sucked, I know that the killer that was chosen wasn't the problem. (Can't say: I was playing wraith or leatherface or trapper, and I didn't have the tools to succeed) I am the NURSE. I have be provided with the tools of success, And as long as I use them correctly, I will win.
Wow I just wrote a decent paragraph, Why the heck can't I do that in English class.0 -
If I die as a survivor, I want to feel as if I had a good, horror experience. I never have except on two occasions. Ever. And it's "Yay, I lived" not "Yay, we lived".

It gets very boring having several rounds in a row facing killers that can one hit down (Michael, Hillbilly, Leatherface, or a few others with perks that allows for one hit down).

As someone who sticks to killer and hates I play survivor to appease my friends. If I die I get 2k or 4k BP... and I think "this why I play killer." I'm still grinding for BP to level up killers so I can unlock 5 more killers perks after that I need to grind to get my wraith all of them. After that Amanda needs to get to P3 and all the perks. then the same to Freddy and Myers don't know which order.Kind_Lemon said:If I die as a survivor, I want to feel as if I had a good, horror experience.

I feel similar to a point during double point weekend. I tried to play with my friends but after 2 games I had to quit due to the lack of BP. I love getting those huge amounts BP in one game.chococri said:Been playing a lot of SFW but I still prefer and love to play killer. I do relax as well.

Sole survirvor is so trash.
Everybody run on the map and nobody do the gens. (every match i always do 3 gens) even in the 4 ranks.
Surv prefer to play rescue surv than make those gens. (because is so boring make gens, i understand)
when the gates are open, everybody refuse to escape, make the killer catch one surv and this start a infinite and dumb free hooks and everybody deads...
if you leave soon (everybody isnt in the hook or a chase), the other surv complais why you leave?. etc...0 -
I do the opposite survivor is more chill and calming but killer is were the game is at.

People have thier tastes. Just like I have mine. People find somethings easier than others I've playing a lot OW as well as other shooters. So I need to find people in a flash. So I go just got use to scanning the area. For survivors not use to following Scratch marks. So I'm not great at following trails. I'll get better.Global said:I do the opposite survivor is more chill and calming but killer is were the game is at.

Same. I was in Overwatch since launch and just left it around three weeks ago. Decided to join DBD. In Overwatch, everything was down to mental and physical reflexes. I could jump from Soldier 76 to Junkrat to Pharah in a match and not have an issue. I knew all the maps and their routes, all the hero kits and cooldowns and could anticipate enemy Ult charges, and so forth.
Come over here, and I miss swipes and lunges, don't know the maps, and have a ton of trouble following scratch marks.
I got frustrated and almost put the game down. Until I reminded myself that I am starting over in a new game. I need time to learn it all and develop DBD muscle memory. The fact that I have less video game time nowadays than I did two years ago when I first started Overwatch (and I was limited then, just a lot more so now), means it'll take me longer to get used to DBD. Just something I am going to have to accept.

Rein then Hanzo... Rein must have got my game sense up Hanzo must have helped tracking people from a distance. Because everytime I see the slightest thing move from a distance I see it. At first I thought things moved when I moved. Lol I can tell the difference now.Kilmeran said:@SteveyHooves said:

I used to do a lot of Rein. Then I got sick to death of his bugs never being fixed, and then the introduction of CC ability after CC ability, with no Diminishing Returns mechanic (which boggles the mind since these Devs all came from WoW in the first place), and I didn't retire him, I buried him six-feet under to rot away.
I swear to god, Geoff Goodman was absolute ######### back when he worked on class balance in WoW years ago, and he has gotten even worse on Overwatch.
People here complain about Behavior quite a bit. But Blizzard is a multi-billion dollar company, and is even worse nowadays than Behavior could ever be.
As Darth Vader might have observed: The Activision is strong in that one.

I hate playing survivor, too. I really just don't... 'play well with others.' not because I don't like people, but because I like to try a new plan every time I play. A lot of people are ok with doing the same strategy over and over so long as they win, but I can't, I get bored.
Also, I used to think that playing as a survivor was harder than playing as the killer, but once I learned how to juke I sorta felt bad for killers. That first person camera stuff is just so much harder to play with.
As a surv I sorta felt like a badass when I would juke a killer and he would lose me, but sometimes I would lose a killer without trying, and I realized that the killer was losing me because of his perspective, not really due to anything I had done. A little off topic, but I always think of that whenever I get a Jake taunting the hell out of me as the killer. It's always a Jake that wants to play cat and mouse, and then brag when he drops a pallet on my face... repeatedly.

For me I play both but I'm a better survivor than a killer but that also gives me an advantage as a killer I think. Just because I've been in their position.
I'm currently rank 8 survivor and rank 10 killer. I enjoy playing survivor more , cause its more intense than killer but nothing beats killing those tea bagging survivors tho lol.
My main killer is the Pig.0
