Killers arent the only ones, who can play ,,unfair"

I keep seeing people complain that some killers play ,,unfair" (camping and slugging mostly) but i never see someone complaining about survivors playing unfair.


No matter which side you are obsessed to, please TRY to understand the other side too.

While killers can do stuff like camping and tunneling, which can seem pretty unfair sometimes, survivors can do pretty nasty things too.


Examples : You get instantly rescued 2 seconds after you got hooked. You see the killer is going for the UNHOOKER but you got borrowed time. Most of the survivors then proceed to bodyblock the killer (and then complain that they get tunneled btw).

Do you think thats fair? The killer tried to play fair, you didnt.


Another example : DS abuse. No explaination needed. (Fixed soon, thankfully)


Another example : Survivors who bring keys + maps + map offerings + hatch offerings.

Thats not fair either, just like old moris werent fair.


There are way more examples.

This isnt a bashing about these items or perks, i just want everyone to understand BOTH sides and not just blindly complain about others, while youself do many things that arent that great. You should understand the frustration that can come with certein things and should learn to threaten others like you want to be threated. Stop this hate.

Both sides got good and bad stuff they have to go though, not just killers and not just survivors. This them vs us has to stop, for the entitys sake!

    I worded it ,,a bit" wrong i guess. Point still stands.

    Yes, but my point is that BOTH sides have things that are viewed unfair by the others sides and that both sides should stop with complaining about things like this. You can use whatever you want and play however you want but dont complain about the other sides if you arent better.

    I am not that good in wording things correctly, so i guess i just said it a bit wrong.

    I wouldn't say "unfair" as much as "unfun". On both sides. All is fair in love and war, and I love you <3

    As I play both sides, I can see either side playing how they do, they just play to have fun. I think though, we should let people play however they want, as they paid for the game too. If you don't like how someone played one game, just move on to the next game. That's the best thing about this game imo is that you never know what will happen in the next match

    Being really honest

    The comunitty NEEDS to complain about things like tunneling camping ds abuse or gens going to fast and body blocking, is annoying and remove the fun of the game


    what really needs to happen is to make the devs fuckying stop saying that this toxic things are strategys and fix that things that absolutely NO ONE likes

    the game should be supposed to be fun, and to do that survival and killers need to stop aiming the knife to each other


    The big problem with dbd is this, killers aprove scummy tatics that killer uses and survivals aprove scummy tatics that survivals

    In the end we just create an big imaginary enemy where survs hate killers and killers hate survs because the other side keep ruinning their match with that( accordelly with the devs words ) tatics


    At least it is this what i think

    The fact that its 4 on one is pretty unfair in and of itself. Both sides can exploit the rough diamond this game could be to make it completely un-fun for the other side (and even the same side in some cases). Just take it one match at a time, and don't ever go in expecting to 4k.

    Well not really. The killer should dominate the survivors in a 1v1 situation, or even 1v3, but when it comes to the 1v4, survivors have equal or even greater power depending on the situation.

    It's balanced around the 1v4 fairly well, people just forget that it is and only look at the 1v1 and then since the killer has the advantage which makes the interaction sometimes one-sided, start complaining about it being ''un-fun''.

    I think this is pretty spot on, but the greater evils like camping, tunnelling, slugging, keys or any other monstrosity that the community hates fun will always be present. BHVR are very unlikely to ever change the game to fundamentally delete these styles of gameplay.

    Which is the sad part.

    Killers have to play "unfair" in 2021 to win, unless they have very strong powers.

    In this community. There is a gross misunderstanding of the word "unfair". Often it is a word tossed out when someone loses a match and wants something nerfed. The only thing I consider to be unfair is something that goes against the rules set by the devs.

    I don't really think any of the things you listed are unfair. They're sometimes boring and unexciting ways to play, but when done in the right moment it gives heat to the match.

    For me what is unfair is the use of bugs, like the ones that when a survivor gets downed at a gate, you can't pick them up: that's unfair. When killers abused the DS bug or whatever other kind, like the hill one.

    In my opinion the problem with hard camping, slugging or tunneling from the start, is that it makes matches dull. What's the point? Do I wanna keep playing if that's the way the game goes? No. I will play something else.

    And if I feel like that's what I should do from the start as killer, then why even bother playing? But that's me.

    Define fair?

    without it being subjective.

    Fair doesn’t exist.

    This. Play fair and you'll get 4-5 hooks before all the generators are done, with no kills.

    Even the goal in this game, everyone has their own definition. A survivor can see him escape is a win, some sees he bought enough time for other 3 escape is a win, some see he has highest score is a win.

    Same with Fun, some has a good chase and die is fun, some sees winning is fun, some bullies other is fun.
