I May Have to Take a Break

I'm going to be honest i might have to uninstall this game as for the last 2 days i can't even have any sort of fun playing killer anymore.

Survivors in my opinion are just way too strong with the "Meta Builds" they run such as Self Care, We'll Make it (which completely negates the healing nerfs), Decisive Strike, Adrenaline and just lately i am coming across commonly SWF groups running Object of Obsession. These kind of perks are really hurting killers in this game even with their best perks like Enduring, Spirit Fury and Brutal Strength as i have noticed pallets are all within a 10m range of each other. pallets should be used as a way of losing LoS with killer but instead they are just used as massive time wasters.

Then we have have Gen Rushing, i have had so many games where i knock someone down in less than a minute in and 2 gens instantly pop, seriously how? Generators from my knowledge are meant to take 80 seconds with 1 person with all the great skill checks landed. Then you get survivors say "just use ruin" why? just so you can tell i have it then just destroy it in less than a minute in the game because you know totem placements or just happen to spawn on it leaving me with 3 perks.

Then we have the toxicity of the survivor player base, all what these people do is complain every single game they get beat because they are so used to bullying killers that they cannot handle getting outplayed, they say "X" killer is OP or "X" perk is OP despite them using all the perks i mentioned above.

Which then brings us to SWF groups. These without a doubt are just straight up unfun and unfair to play against. SWF groups basically have 5 perks instead of 4, built in perk being Bond. That is because at all times they will know exactly where each other are simply through voice communication. So when you get into a chase with one of them the rest can freely do gens no worries and before you know it the exit gates are lit with the guy you injured while chasing with DS and a instaheal pops Adrenaline.

Killers are already honestly weak enough as it is especially after the Bloodlust nerf and there is no denying that. Only 3 are actually viable in basically all maps and that is Nurse, Spirit and Billy and even then survivors can bully them. But i'm not saying the rest are not capable of getting 4k as all of them have.

Then we have the map design. Undeniably these are well in favor of Survivor than it is Killer. My reasoning for this is things like Jungle Gyms, Cow Loops, Killers Shack, Pallets being extremely close to each other, safe pallets (which should not be in the game period survivors are never meant to feel safe) and Loops. in general. All these are is time wasters. Survivors have 0 intention of losing line of sight of you otherwise they wouldn't be tea bagging you and encouraging you to follow them every pallet. Killers are mean't to be feared but instead because they are weak they just get treated like old grandpa's trying to get bratty kids of his lawn.

But yeah i think until Killers get some attention and have all of them viable in someway like they are supposed to be i may just have to take a long break from this game, This is a 4v1 Game the 1 solo person is supposed to be stronger not weaker. They are also not supposed to be stressful and play.

    If you need to take a break, take one. You’ve dealt with the issues, but just remember, if you need something to play- DBD is always there. Even if the cues are a bit long.

    Listen, you can't play DbD all the time. It got so bad all of early 2018 I took a 5 month break. Sometimes you need that break. You're all good! :)

    Like others have been saying, it has never been easier to play killer than it is right now. If you want to take a break, then by all means take a break. But that is a pretty sad excuse to take one.

    the problem of self-care is 90% of survs use it, so stupid

    Dude that is ridiculous. I play both sides and no way its 90%. Its definitely above the old 20%, but not that high.  And even if that's the case, run nurses or sloppy? Cancel their perk or make it extra work. 

    Wanna talk about the % use of Ruin or Noed? Lol

    I don't even get the issue with Selfcare, 90% of killers use BBQ, does that mean I should come onto the forums and moan about it too? No, because it really isn't an issue, and neither is SC.

    If you're constantly losing injured survivors enough for SC to be the "issue" then you're bad imo.

    If you need a break definitely take it!!! I think killer has gotten a bit easier and more relaxing to play and I think that the only thing that needs to be looked at is objectives because matches can go pretty fast right now. The only way to slow the game down is with some perks such as sloppy butcher or ruin but those can be easily countered by other survivor perks and just finding the totem. Thanataphobia should also be looked at because the numbers seem pretty low right now. Anyways have a good break and come back when you feel like playing again!!!

    Let's not forget bbq/chili the single perk responsible for most of my deaths. If you don't use a gen for cover it is pretty easy for experienced killers to find you, even with that misdirection trick.

    I don't see whole lot of survivors run self care, not 90% for sure - it's a nice to have, especially when you are solo and not running bond. I also like it because it has a 20% efficiency with medkits.

    Can't speak for everyone, but i don't usually run self care, especially since the heal nerf.
