Do you prefer watching killer or survivor gameplay?

When watching dbd content on YouTube or Twitch do you generally like to watch killers or survivors more?

Even thought I play survivor 90% of the time I find survivor content to be really boring and only watch killer stuff.

    I like watching both.

    I usually enjoy killer more, but it depends. Good survivors always teach me things here and there about good positioning, loops and stuff. But I usually watch killer more often than survivor, as I can learn more about powers and techniques of killers I don't play.

    I like both pretty equally.

    Dowsey's Hardcore Survivor series is really entertaining. And I like watching killer mains like Otz try out survivor. As long as the creators are engaging (and most of the top content creators for DBD are) then it's pretty exciting.

    Killer games usually have more action, and require a little less engagement, but most of the content creators are very engaging.

    Couldn't watch either, on the other hand, without any commentary.

    I enjoy both but I tend to lean towards killer because there is variety with the various killers' powers.

    Survivor when they are bad, killer when they are good. It’s funny to watch bad survivors and entertaining watching good killers.

    I prefer watching killer gameplay. Less downtime.

    most of the killer gameplay are dull to watch because people only upload gameplay where they have survivors literally throwing themselves at the killer or falling for super basic mind game or the team is super inefficient at gens when the killer is occupied, its frustrating to watch how badly everyone plays. like i wish my survivors were that potato. but i guess it makes the poster feel good wrecking survivors. lol.

    Both but usually killer. It depends on the killer though. I find killers like Legion and Huntress (because most of the content creators I watch main Huntress) INSANELY boring to watch. While killers like Oni and Plague I find super enjoyable.

    I don't watch survivos stream. I only watch edited survivor play on YouTube, more drama. I might go watch some killer play on twitch.

    Yeah I seldom see people upload how did he got destroyed by sweaty SWFs or God level survivors.

    Killer if it's high quality killer gameplay. Killer who play absolutely flawlessly against really good SWF groups, because that is the thing I most struggle with.

    Survivor gameplay is meh. Most of the time they just bully baby killers to look good but would still lose hard against slightly competent players. When someone gets 360'ed 2-3 times in a row that just shows that these players aren't really good.

    So yeah I rather see quality killer content. There is better killer content on YouTube/Twitch than survivor content IMO.

    Survivor for education

    Killer for entertainment

    I like both. I watch Longlivmac and he starts with hours of killer then does some survivor games.

    Killer. But only if they are not throwing a tantrum everytime they lose.

    The streamers I follow regularly play both. And I like to watch both.

    Killer as most of the time there is something to watch.

    Survivor has a lot of down time which is okay for the player, not so much for watching.

    You should try watching Yerv if you haven't already. Him and Zubat are my favorite.

    Survivor. Mostly bc are more prone to slacking and self-amusement.
