The sweaty survivors are back
Instant Killer queue times again.
First game, coldwind offering, fractured cowshed.
1 hook and 2 gens gone. About to hook a 2nd and get a 2 man hook bodyblock, and there's only 1 gen left. Flash light clicks. I just left.
"gg ez" in chat
DBD is back to normal, yay!

I have 2 words for you : insidious bubba. There's no miserable games with it

Well no misery for the Killer at least...
I was thinking of mixing it up with a MYC Basement Demo. Need the pig though.

Why am I always paired with new players against red ranks killers then? Every game I played after update my team was inexperienced.
1 -
Because you're not SWF.
3 -
I take it you are a solo queue player? Same here.
As a solo queue player who also plays Killer, you get the worst of both sides. You have to play against SWFs when Killer (not always, but you will face them at all ranks), and as a Survivor you get the worst survivor experience, which is not being in a SWF, and sometimes you'll get paired with bad players.

*HAPPY BUBBA NOISES*
I'm not sure if they were a SWF, but the first person died on their first hook, and I could still see their ping over 10 minutes later when the game ended, and two of them had flashlights, so I only feel a little bit bad.

Take note. When survivors are unhappy they stop playing and the developers get things done pretty damn fast.
When killers are unhappy they sit there and take it and the developers put all their problems on the back burner for years.
Those two things are not a coincidence.

I don't know about you, but that's been like that ever since the new patch. People just gen rushing like maniacs.

the only reliable counter to certain killers and playstyles.

I go for 12 hooks games as clown, but I have been having to be less nice about going for those 12 hook games which sucks, because I want to get as much bp as possible.

I don't have a big problem with "gen-rushers". At the end of the day, survivors have to do gens, and getting gens done quickly is important as they don't know they are facing a good Killer until it is too late, so popping 2 gens straight away is basically a requirement to pressure a decent Killer. Whilst annoying, gen-rushing is necessary, and a key Killer skill is to learn how to prevent this, through pressure, perks, or both.
What I DO have a problem with is teams who burn a map offering for the most survivor sided map in the game, and then play in ways that seem to just deny the Killer fun. It was literally my 2nd hook of the game and there was 1 gen left, I was absolutely getting demolished. They had no need to deny me of that hook, and a double body block is just excessive (1 would have done!). They would even get more points if they allow me to make the hook, as they then get points to unhook. It's just clear they were playing to troll Killers.

There is quite a difference between the game broken for one side (Emblems and Desync) and the other side claiming that it is sooo hard to play.
Let alone that Stuff on the Killer SIde got fixed faster (broken Autohaven-Bus was first removed from rotation and then fixed a week earlier... But hey, keep that narrative going)
0 -
I don't really want to fault the devs for fixing the de-sync issues quickly. It would have been unacceptable for them to not.
0 -
every kind of grab not working has a bigger effect on the game than the minor desync. I played survivor last week and it wasn't that bad. 2 week fix vs....ongoing for years and years now?
Half of the killers still have bugs which eat into their gameplay too but hey lets remember the 1 or 2 times something got done for killer and forget the 100 or 200 times survivor got preferential treatment
3 -
Yeah I also found the de-sync to not be THAT bad, I was still escaping games at a normal rate (about 50% or so? I'm not too great a survivor), with the desync issues
1 -
If things get fixed easier (Desync) they should fix it. Grabs are Dedicated Servers, it will take them a long time to fix that, if they ever manage that.
But like I said - keep the narrative, the Devs are totally survivor-sided for fixing bugs!!11

I had that the other day being double body blocked from hooking someone the trick is to hit the survivor then u can hook. Happened to me playing wraith or was it hag? Regardless just hit them and then you'll be able to hook.
0 -
Feels good to be back.
1 -
Good. Most killers I went against before the desync issue got fixed acted like jerks. I don't feel sorry for any killer anymore.
0 -
Yes but the cooldown from a successful hit takes about 2 seconds, you have to hit them twice I think to down them. When you hit a survivor they do not collide with you anymore (they can walk through you), but I think they still block the hook, so I think you need to down them.
Regardless, there was 2 of them crouching at the hook, so even if it was only 1 hit to both of them, that's 4 seconds of cooldown I have (plus the time taken to actually attack), I'd already walked for about 7 seconds to the hook, so it was easily enough time for the person to escape.
I'm sorry for any bad Killers you met, genuinely. However when you use a phrase like "most Killers" I just can't help but not believe you. I also play survivor and I don't encounter toxic Killers that often.
In my post I'm just recounting one scenario from one match (which happened to be the first Killer match I played since the patch, which stung a bit). I'm not saying ALL survivors are problematic, just the ones in this game. Whereas you are saying "most Killers", which is just false.
But again, sorry for any games where you came across bad Killers. Most of us just want to play the game normally.

"play survivor or play a different game"
0 -
I'm not even exaggerating. Most killers I went against before the desync issue got fixed, camped, tunneled, repeatedly slapped me on the hook, etc. I wasn't being toxic either. I would even let some killers kill me if they were doing bad (before the desync issue). Not anymore.
2 -
Gotta pressure gens more! Remember the first couple of gens normally go fairly quick but then it is common for the killer to make a comeback.

Oh honey, we never left.

Here I am baby I’m backkkk!!!!!!

I've always struggled with fractured cowshed, and allowed myself to be baited into a shack case right off the bat. Still learning Blight too (maybe 20 hours in him), so against good survivors I still struggle a bit on many loops.
0 -
I expected that, although it feels like they never left to me.
At least I got a couple of Killer Adepts out of the way.
0 -
Well what do you expect? They finally fixed dsync so good survs can actually start playing the game properly again.
2 -
Then you'll just end up getting a 1K. And maybe a 2K if you're lucky.
0 -
Actually, I played 5 matches, four 4Ks and a 2K
1 -
I have no problem with good survivors smashing gens out quickly, it's more the SWFs with favourable map offerings, flashlight clicking, meta-perks, and co-ordinated body blocking I'd rather not deal with
0 -
2k almost guaranteed if you have NOED as well, and if survivors are altruistic you can get even more
1 -
Both of my survivors were ducking too. I smacked the first one once and moved in them forcing them to move so I could hook. Dont just stand there during the cooldown.

My day going fine when suddenly I hear it in the distance...
"Come Cowshed 1v1"

And Killer never sweat huh? When I press rdy with a rank 20 immersed claudette and 2 other default skinned survivors they usually die all three within a minute with 5 Gens left. While the killer with ruin undying tries to 4man slug as fast and as brutal as possible.
What do I wanna say with that? I know it's hard to believe bc you probably only play survivor when there is a challenge or a daily, but that is not a survivor sided thing it's actually a mentality that appears in any game. So yea actually there are many r1 killer sweating their balls off against r20s.

Don't worry, the DS NERF is coming.

I didn't say Killers do not sweat. But yeah slugging to that extent is often necessary when a team can do 3 gens in a minute or 2.
But yeah please show me my messages in this thread where I said Killers do not sweat.
Also you are wrong, I play survivor quite often, not as much as Killer, but it's not just for dailies like you are assuming.
And finally, I even said multiple times I have no problem with gen-rushing, it is necessary, my problems were with the unnecessary BM'ing combined with meta perks + swf + map offering
You know, it's funny as someone actually asked me to 1v1 them and said they'd pay pal me £100 if I got a hit.
This was after I beat them in a 4v1 (I didn't even basement camp this game, I had a more normal build on, but that was a hook bombing, teabagging SWF too)

Survivors: "Gawd, I was so worried I was going to have to spend all my time playing balanced video games." /sarcasm (kind of lol)
