Does killer just...feel off after patch?
Like i can't explain it.. before i was doing great. 3-4k every other game with occasional super sweat squad or gen pounders where i cant keep up. After patch i feel like i cant keep up at all. I can barely catch survivors. And what should be hits are missing (not talking dead hard i mean just in general) anyone else having such issues?

I feel the same. I'm a Plague main and after a 3 match 1k streak I chose to play Spirit just for a fast win and guess who didn't even got a kill as her.

The game is so janky atm on PS4, who can even be sure the survivor you are swinging at is actually in front of you or not. Or on survivor if the killer that you see several meters behind you is actually right on your @$$.
The game is in such a bad state

A lot of killer's powers are bugged this patch.
Watching game play of the Wraith this patch is painful how often the Wraith has to finish the reappearing cast then be forced to do it again and again until it decided to let him uncloak.

Is it just me, or does it feel like you sometimes run slower for a few meters for no reason?

For me, It feels like more players are going immersion. I can clearly see the gen has been worked on, but no matter how many rocks and corners I check I cant find them.

I've noticed it. My biggest issue now is I'll have a survivor point blank and swing at them, they 360 or just turn, I miss, then suddenly they're nowhere in sight. It's a total mindf*ck and I don't know what happened. Doesn't happen EVERY time, but still a very noticeable amount and it never seemed to be an issue in my matches before

This. I'm on ps4 so everything feels off.

I feel no difference (XB1).

That's kinda weird, before the update I wasn't able to atleast 2K as a Killer, but now I easily get 4 Kills if I want to.
BUT I'm having more and more difficulties to catch survivors doing 360's
1 -
That happened a few times to me as well.. its weird.

Killer is unplayable on Xbox currently. The game is so screwed up it's impossible to be consistent. Everything causes a frame drop. Notifications. Perk activations. Effect activations. Opening chests. Using your power. Bloodlust. It's awful right now. I feel like I'm playing a stop motion game sometimes.

I'm still trying to burn off 4th anni cakes on spirit so i play her here and there....she loads into the matches posing weird. maybe it's me or maybe she needs a doctor...

It’s every killer and some of them are especially funny. I played a Demo game the other day and he looks really silly with his arms reaching out like an old school horror movie zombie.

Other than frame rate issues everything seems fine, survior on the other hand not so much. Being hit through fast vaults when you've taken at least one step away from the window at the other side needs to stop. Being hit through pallets that were clearly thrown down before the swing needs to stop. It was never this bad on P2P servers. Also i really dont appreciate Angelina Jolie training huntress to bend her hatchets around walls and obstacles

If you mean laggy as fvck and cannot connect hit for sh*t then yeah.

I'm on PS4 and killer is a lag fest. Survivor is not so bad. But I can't touch killer till the patch comes.

Playing Legion and Blight and i don't notice anything.
Have been playing more survivor though

This is about Killers. Stop trying to make this about survivors when it affects killers even worse.

Lol the point is killers are benefiting more than ever from broken hitboxes and server latency. Hit validation is off. If you missed its because you missed. The current system benefits killers. There is no upside to being hit from 10 feet away from a survior perspective but there is from a killer perspective, ie free hit
0 -
Meanwhile when I play killers I get screwed by hitboxes so much. Aim dressing robbing me off hits, survivors sometimes not having any hitboxes at all (expecially during certain action like unhooking), sometimes hitting injured survivors but then they Dead Hard half a second AFTERWARDS.
I highly disagree with the statement "The system benefits killers". And anyone who plays killers on a slightly competitive level can agree on that.

Had this happen. Survivor side stepped and disappeared. There was no grass or obstacles at the location just vanished. Happened 3 times.
1 -
I don't notice any difference. There can be lag but with the vault build being so prominent you should kind of expect survivors to be lobbing through windows at light-speed and recognize the need to pre-swing at them.

"Killers are benefiting from broken servers" you are the most delusional survivor main I've found on here.
4 -
I do play killer on a slightly competitive level lol
Yeah the aim dressing can screw you over from time to time especially when it makes you smack an object when you are clearly looking at a survior, thats annoying. If it happens in a dead zone and you just whiff in a circle, this is called a 360.
If you miss a swing on an unhooker. That is a miss, their hitbox doesn't dissapear or anything, you are lunging from too far away. Move closer and grab them.
Dead harding after being hit into dying state? Or did you miss and then they used DH?
It feels bad sometimes playing killer I know , but the game is not screwing you over im sorry to say
Nah im just not biased towards one side, but keep whiffing good sir
0 -
I honestly doubt you play killer at all.
Skip to 3:28
Did he "lunge from too far away"?
No, he didnt. The unhookers hitbox just disappears during the unhook. Thats a fact. And everyone that plays killer knows it.
And telling people to go for grabs at the current state of dedicated servers is just beyond ridiculous.

I feel the opposite. I picked up clown, who I never play, and wiped the floor twice in a row.

Seriously, how screwed is the game when it even does the successful hit animation and still doesn't injure the survivor?

A lot more full meta squads are popping up since the tome's release. I've been seeing a lot of keys lately as well, I've had to tryhard a lot more on my mains.

Pay attention to how many times you're using Pop now with the 40s duration... I've been paying attention to my gameplay and i'm using it way less than before.. We've got no gen defense now besides the Ruin Undying garbage meta... They want us to use this boring build.
I mean... If you go to the gen to use Pop now without caring about survivors that appear on the way.. You get 25% regression but lose sight of the survivor meaning you will lose the gen no matter what.
If you chase the survivor, you lose the gen also...
It is way harder to defend now without high mobility... I would say it is even impossible.

Your points are valid here but there is a substantial amount of frame drop and stuttering that affects both killers and survivors.
I find these stutters happen typically when an event takes place, like a gen pops or I achieve bloodlust. I get them from time to time just wandering around the map but they are most impactful during chases. They make jukes rather powerful, as you stutter to the point that even if you track the survivor well and time your hit you've stuttered into an overturn and when the framerate catches up you are facing the wrong way, swing and a miss.
A lot of potential hits are going by as misses as a result. (I'm not saying I never get outplayed but the stuttering and frame drop has some substantial effects, all of which lengthen chases a key component of the game). This has only become problematic for me since the last couple of patches and I got a substantial improvement after switching off crossplay.
I definitely have a "better" (as in less laggy) game with a lobby full of other PC players when compared to a lobby of crossplay icons.
Yes 90% of losses are likely to be human error over machine error, however this new level of frame drop and stutter has exacerbated any error I make meaning that recovery is that much more difficult and as such overall gameplay experience is diminished.
I think that's an issue worth pointing out.

Ok he clearly hit Quentin there, you do realize that right?
I have no issue going for grabs, the unhook animation takes a few seconds, you have time
0 -
Oh, why didnt you mentioned earlier that you are just trolling? Got you.
0 -
How am I trolling? Lol why wasnt True complaining about it?He said nothing, because he hit Quentin.(why else did Quentin scream like he got hit).
0 -
Yeah I totally agree the performance can make your games a bit painful, freezing when tier up as Myers or when bloodlust kicks in can buy the survivors some time get to safety.This can make the game unplayable.It wasnt an issue 4.2.0 my killer games were perfect, hope it gets fixed soon
1 -
Yeah, it feel slower than before
