Isn't it boring for you to use the same build?

In every game killers and survivors use the same "Meta" perks.

I used to have favorite loadout and got really bored of the game. now I'm using random perks wheel to challenge myself, i also find it fun regardless of whether the perk is "bad". surprisingly i manage to win with them as well.

Then why you use Meta perks all the time?

    I have fun with the same perks. I sometimes use different perks and its fun, too. But i dont want to change my perks every round. It takes too long.

    Yeah I had to take a break from running the "Meta" perks every game. It made the game dull. Switching up my perks opened up a new gameplay style and kinda made me play better too, but most of all it made the game a lot more fun.😀

    I don't

    There are perks I always use no matter what (BBQ & Chill for Points and Kindred cause you basically have to have it to be a decent Solo Player) and I will usually have an exhaustion perk of some kind (usually Lithe but I'll play around with it).

    I find a lot of the Meta perks just kind of boring so I like to mess around with different combos and things just to see what might be fun.

    I try different builds all the time. I'm trying to figure out a build with nearly every perk.

    I'd use other perks, but they're too hard to get any value from. Why bother using perks you can't get value out of?

    With survivors, yes. With killers no. If I want variety playing survivor I will try different builds like cleansing, healing, Head On, chasing etc. If I want variety as killer I will just play a different killer.

    Because there's a ton of sweaty tryhards at Rank 1 who will destroy you ingame then roast you in chat afterwards for not being 100% optimized. Its annoying, but I like to run some different builds from time to time if they work.

    If i ran the meta sheep build i'd get bored, but i'm not a sheep, so i don't get bored that quickly

    Yes for survivor but that's the problem with insurance perks existing rather than the devs directly fixing problems. Playing without DS/BT is basically a gamble saying "whelp, I hope the killer doesn't tunnel or they just get to kill me incredibly quickly." I'd like to run something else but I also like not just immediately dying.

    And Kindred feels necessary if you're not in a SWF for obvious reasons.

    Nah I almost never switch out my build. I grinded through hundreds of bloodwebs for the best perks so I don't see why I wouldn't use them.

    Occasionally I'll go for meme builds like basement Bubba, Mad Grit + Agitation + Iron Grasp, or endgame shenanigans but I'll never think to myself, "Hey what if I switched out Nurse's for Surge this one game."

    I get all the variety I need by playing different killers.
