Game Knows the Challenge I'm Working on, and Messes with Me

After selecting a challenge to drop 2 pallets on the killer in a single match as Yui, I kept getting match after match against ranged killers or killers who ignore pallets (Huntress, Deathslinger, Nurse, Executioner, Plague).

I gave up and switched to an old challenge to fall from a great height during chase 3x with Balanced Landing equipped. Now, I've gotten Shelter Woods (a map known for its lack of verticality; especially after its makeover) SIX times today! Haven't been to the Assylum or Clown maps AT ALL since they've been fixed.

Anyone else get the feeling the game knows things and messes with you on purpose?

    I just blinded Bubba with flashlight. And then blinded again while he was recovering from first time.

    I'm not good with flashlights. I saw them as cheese and put off learning to use them for a while. Just as I was getting the hang of them they went and changed how flashlights work, so I stopped using them once again.

    I can stun Bubba. The problem was the killers I kept getting matched up against.

    I know this phenomonen well. It's like you are getting stream sniped by the game - when you aren't even a streamer.

    Killers often respect pallets that potentially could stun them without hitting survivor. So for me flashlight was better option. Even if it's huntress, you may drop pallet early, and when she break it, you can put her in a blind streak.

    That trick won't work on spirit as far as I remember. Not sure if they fixed her camera while breaking pallet.

    That's nice and all, but I wouldn't put it beyond the game to then just match me against a killer with Franklin's Demise who rids me of said flashlight before I get the blind.

    When I was completing the current tome the other day, I did have a harder time than usual with a few.

    The most notable for me was my attempt at the Outta Sight challenge. I should have completed it on my first attempt, possibly second if I was unlucky. Instead it took me four games, possibly five since I can't quite remember. Those first three or four games were all curb stomps, all lasted for a shorter time than the time I waited in the lobby for them. I think the most BP any survivor walked away with in those games was 7k.

    The stun the killer twice in one game challenge, took me three tries I believe. Got a Nurse on first attempt, and the second one my game crashed.

    Not necessarily sabotaged, but there were two more challenges that I was agonizingly close to completing on my first attempt. One was the 50,000 BP challenge, in which I earned something like 49,952 BP. The other was to get chased for 60 seconds which I walked away with 58 seconds.

    Game is ######### #########, that's true but it certainly doesn't check for your challenges and make them more difficult lol

    I thought it was only me that stuff like that happened to! Pretty much the same thing with Shelter Woods & BL too!

    I had to fix four gens for a challenge, no problem, right? It took me four games to complete. As soon as the challenge was over I fixed three in game.

    I thought it was just me choking on easy challenges. Nice to see it’s happening to other people too.
