Am I the only one who has more fun with Killer than Survivor?

I just don't understand when people over exaggerate and say that Killer is an extremely stressful and unfun role. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I have 1,483 hours in the game put into both survivor and killer, but I've always found killer to be the more fun role as opposed to survivor.

With Survivor a lot of the time I will feel frustrated/powerless due to many reasons, like if my teammates are bad at the game, the killer I'm facing is using really powerful addons or a killer I really don't like to go up against, or just bugs in general like getting hit when I shouldn't be getting hit. With Killer I feel much more in control and even in matches where I mess up multiple times and give the survivors advantages I will always end up getting at least a 2k unless I'm throwing the game or doing something else dumb.

That's not to say that I don't ever have fun with survivor and I always have fun with killer, but I just feel like that Killer for me is the less stressful and more fun role than Survivor. Also forgot to mention, I'm a blight main but I play every single killer except for Pig and Freddy.

    I prefer playing killer over solo que survivor.

    I just can't stand having team mates who are immersing the entire damn game literally doing nothing. Or team mates who farm off hook with no BT. Or who think it's fun to click click and t bag the killer so they get tunneled out of the game within the first 5 minutes. Honestly the list goes on.

    Also the ques are a lot shorter for killer.

    Swf is an entirely different experience though but I don't have any friends who still play this game.

    Depends on your location (survivor pool) and rank.

    Where i live the survivors are mostly 4 man sweat squads and it is like night and day when i go from swf to solo players.

    It also depends on the killer you play. I want to play trapper but every game i get a survivor who follows me around and disarms my traps. No i am not putting them under pallets in the open, but there are only so many useful places you can place them and survivors know them all.

    Nah, there are too many positives with playing killer. Shorter queue times, more unique abilities/characters to choose from, chances of winning/losing are mostly on your shoulders alone rather than on a group of people

    Plus it's easier to vent playing the side that can attack rather than run and hide and m1 on a gen

    I have way more fun with killer. Survivor is fun if you get chased but it’s too much gen time for me to do it a lot.

    It’s nice to relax with some survivor but killer is definitely the more interesting role IMO.

    No you're not the only one.

    I quit playing Survivor altogether not too long ago, the gameplay got too boring to me.

    When I play killer it’s very relaxing I don’t take the game serious and since I don’t play killer as often as I should my rank is around 16 when I could be much higher. So I drink have fun hook everyone once and then let them finish gens so they can have atleast one killer who is nice and not a dick. When I get ppl who can actually loop I try to give them a fun game but still try to let ppl live. It is a game after all and I’ve had way to many serious killers even with two dc’s at that start of a game. So I try to be nice to new survivors.
