What Frustrates You

So I see a hex totem in a corner. And I see a trap right in front of it. I try to disarm trap... gets sucked to cleanse totem. Trapper gets me, game over.

I see a trap in the middle of a doirway that injures you. But it's in a way I'm able to walk past it, because of lag spike. It sucks me back into the trap.

In another game without lag, apparently I stepped into the trap when my feet weren't even touching its sides. By this time I'm considering quitting the game again as the main issue that always seems to screw with you: Its not getting a bad game where you played bad, they played good. It's not that you played well but they just won. It's how ######### up the devs ######### this game with its problems. Not catering to the issues that get thinking "How the feck did you muck this up". And saying that they're on it but takes weeks to sort their fuckn shite out.

How the feck am I able to play your dogshit game if every time I play, I'm wondering how the game will fuckme over today.

The thing that frustrates everyone the most, is the game itself. The attitude the devs have implemented, concerning themselves with other things rather than fixing the problems that cause us to lose our shite. And now discount Suicide Squad Joker oh s a thing. He'll be a living meme to where this game ended up. Honestly doesnt make want to keep playing this.

What frustrates you players?

    What frustrates me is either making obvious mistakes myself, slamming my hatchets into trees off in the distance or crashing into a hedge with my chainsaw, and watching a survivor just run off giggling at my mistake.

    Then theres the odd bug here and there, most are kinda eh, but the big triggering ones are missing a legion frenzy hit due to aim dressing, or getting hit by a killer with Stretch Armstrong arms.

    But i can get over them. Bugs have been in my favour too. Ive dodged hits due to aim dressing, and probably been thay rubber armed killer. The games getting better, slowly but surely

    Survivor: Bad teammates, DCs/hook suicides, farming killers.

    Killer: OoO SWFs with Plunderers and Shiny Coin offering.

    Survivor: PGTW, Deathslinger, boosted or selfish teammates, getting hit miles through windows

    Killers: Adrenaline, DS (pre-4.6.0), Dead Hard for distance, starting the grab animation without getting it and missing your chance to M1, the lag when Bloodlust procs

    1# decide to remove DS from my build for ONE GAME, and get facecamped and tunneled. ds is just a must in solo queue

    2# doing so much for the team and then dying to noed and being left to die on my first hook

    Losing the match when you never got outplayed simply through an imbalance in objective times.

    Killers that are chasing an injured survivor near me who then immediately get ADHD and start focusing more on chasing me even though I'm healthy and further away.


    And then they tunnel and/or camp me for some reason.

    I generally don't get that upset but I get very frustrated getting repeatedly denied as killer back to back

    When my teammates unhook me in front of the Killer without BT. But even with BT.

    I guess it's still better than being sacrifized on my first hook because everyone was self-caring in a corner.

    And my own mistakes frustrate me too, but I learn from them at least, even if sometimes it takes time.

    As Survivor: waiting so long to get into a game only to be tunneled out in the less then 5 mins and then be called trash. any killer that runs NOED when they clearly don't need it.


    As Killer: playing against a team that doesn't realize you're just playing for fun and has the must win at all costs attitude. I'm not tunneling or camping you're just played fool if you don't. and if you do you get the same result. playing killer feels like a chore. You do bad in a match you get made fun of you do good in a match, you get insulted. I'm glad I mostly play on console so I don't have to see that.

    oh and when a whole team DC's on you so one person can get the hatch.

    for both sides:


    Anyone who has TTV in their name. I'm not playing the game to entertain their stream and the fact that they play toxic and annoying as hell just for that I don't like.

    Being slugged as survivor. It's very boring to not be able to play the game.


    As killer? Not a whole lot. People that just sit at the exit gates, I guess. Ushering a set of survivors out of one gate just to have to trudge to the other to get the other set out is fairly tedious.

  • Ryan489x
    Ryan489x Member Posts: 1,503

    that's why I don't do that, I know they're at the other gate I don't care, I'll wait them out, they'll either leave or die

    As Killer: selfish playstyles, tbagging, getting stuck on nothing and bodyblocking if the survivor wasn't even hooked.

    As survivor: selfish playstyles, tunneling, hitboxes, getting stuck on nothing and being exhausted on the ground.

    When a squad of survivors stomp you all over the place, teabagging endlessly, and then take the time to insult you in chat after the game. I get it: you won. Great job. Move along to your next game, no need for name calling to rub it in.

    survivor q times.

    We need to bring the animation update back so the salty 360 survivors quit again. was so good getting into games instantly.

    As survivor when I’m on the hatch and getting slugged and mostly pc survivors not wanting to die on hook and I get hooked too because they want their struggle points. Happens all the time, very frustrating.

    Playing on PS4 and basically losing the match because there was more than 2 effects going on at any given time. Or maybe bloodlust kicked in and the game freezes for 1.5 seconds which means another 30 seconds of looping for them.


    Seriously the devs have forgotten about console, it's ridiculously dark and un-optimized.


    It frustrates me that I lose because of the game screwing me over rather than me making mistakes

    Spirits who have no counterplay except to get wacked once then shortly afterwards, get either lucky or downed due to Stridor.

    Survivor: the one time you run deliverance and the killer finds you first and hooks you, or even decides to ignore another player WHILE IN CHASE for no reason and tunnel you until your hooked first. Or when your sure no one's going for the save so you go up and a random survey saves them. And when you don't run it no one wants to save or there the easiest unhooks ever.

    Killer: I hate the swing cancel on nurse. The amount of times I've perfectly predicted a survivor just for them to be delayed and and miss by a cm is frustrating.

    But overall would be when I load into a match, do a rotation of the gens. Found no one. Do another rotation. Gen nearly done. tf?

    Edit: autocorrect is more of a hindrance than freddy's pools.

    For me there isn't a whole lot that frustrates me but there are a few things.

    Overall I agree with what was said about the devs seemingly prioritising minor/unimportant things over fixing the games issues.

    As a survivor:

    1. Leatherface, I hate this guy so much.
    2. Bad team mates, like the sort who will happily stay on a gen 15 feet from you when it is clear to come and get you off the hook.
    3. Being tunneled from the start of the match and then face camped, especially when it's leatherface.

    As a killer:

    1. Swf, specifically the toxic, sweaty kind. You the know the ones I'm talking about.
    2. Running into the same survivor builds almost every game.

    Long overdue optimization. Not being to use anywhere to their potential 4-5 killers, including the best one, because console.

    Not only is it the easy camping. The fact his Chainsaw sprint outlast a Sprint Burst kinda says it all. 🤣 I wouldnt mind but he wasnt even as bad as people made him out to be before.
