Playing killer is way more frustrating. As a solo survivor its completely out of my hands so it's just the most chill and relaxing thing ever. I'd probably be a survivor main if the ques didn't take upwards of ten minutes, sometimes even half an hour.

Both but it depends honestly

Certainly killer. There is a lot of bs that happens as killer honestly and the game is often not fun as killer. Survivor has a few things that are frustrating but overall its not that bad

Getting an object survivor as a trapper is a ######### terrible feeling.

It has to be killer, but that's only because If I get coldwind or red forest as Trickster I just want to put myself on the hook instead of putting the survivors on the hook, because I just want out of the game, because I know I'm going to have to sweat instead of trying to play casually. The map designs in this game for the most part are absolutely awful, and that's where my frustration comes from.

Survivor for sure, atleast as killer i have the power to influence the game but as survivor it mostly depends on your teammates which means if they're bad, no matter how good you are you will lose most of the time, and there's nothing I despise more than feeling like there was nothing I could do to change the outcome of the match.
Combine that with the fact that some killers will camp, tunnel, and do other really frustrating tactics or you'll go up against killers like deathslinger and Phead then you've got a recipe for a incredibly frustrating and boring experience. That's not to say that survivor is always unfun and killer is always fun but I've personally had more frustrations with survivor than killer.

Solo Survivor, teammates are just infuriating.
Then Killer, the game conspires against you sometimes and every mistake is liable to cost you the game or to get you ridiculed post-game.
Then SWF, where you have people backing you up.

Especially if you get purgatory forest, which I think is a worse for the trickster compared to red forest. Or any huge map with spread out gens. I just played a game were all the survivors were all rank 1 and they were very efficient in doing gens. I got destroyed with 3 hooks lol.

Solo Survivor is horrible (Usually due to terrible teammates), But killer is way worse.

I have over 3k hours so I don't take this game as seriously as I used to.

I don't get angry for any game. But I think solo survivor is a bit more frustrating, since it's shocking how some people play, even in red rank. sometimes it makes you think how are these people in red ranks. Since more often than not you have to depend on how the team plays, so a bad team=Loss.

I honestly don't see how killer would be that hard. I have played it a few times and have absolutely no idea what I was doing as a rank 20 killer however, managed to kill most of the survivors. I understand as you progress the matches getter harder but you have one ONE objective and no one else's actions to worry about. I play solo survivor and that is where the frustration begins! When you get a crew who DC's for no good reason as I have trekked across the map to save you only to find you suicide on the hook just because you got downed first. Then you end up losing badly, de-pipping, and possibly going down one rank for someone else's actions. Had a match the other night and two solo survivors did this one after the other.

If we are talking from a purely technical perspective then its Killer.
The reason being is nearly every bug in the game minus a select few negatively impacts the killer's gameplay:
Nearly any sound bug makes the killer have a harder time tracking the survivors.
Any visual bug can make the killer lose a survivor mid chase due to needing to constantly look for an ever moving target they may try to hide at any moment.
Any interaction bug like the hook ones that still persist to this very day can mean the difference between winning and looking as a survivor who barely gets hooked and a survivor who gets to break out because of the interaction with the hooked being bugged makes the world of a difference.
Finally killers have more moving parts and more exclusive parts to them meaning they are more likely to become bugged compared to survivors...I mean just look at nurse who still has bugs from her nerfing from last year.

Considering I don't run meta perks either side nor camp tunnel or tbag, both sides fill me with disappointment

Playing killer is relaxing compared to solo survivor. I hate being solo survivor because teammates sometimes make for killer more than he does himself. I don't play survivor anymore because of selfish bitches that can't handle being hooked once.

Eh, they're both equally frustrating. Especially solo Survivor vs killer.
Personally tho, I'm going to say poor matchmaking is my biggest frustration.
Between the two, I'd say I get frustrated more often as Killer, but I get more frustrated by the game as Survivor. (What I mean by this is most of my frustration from Killer don't come from the game itself- it's just me genuinely not enjoying the role or playing it, so I just tend to get frustrated and make dumb mistakes more often. As Survivor, I won't get frustrated as often, but when I do, it's usually because of things that are out of your control- like a full Basement Hag, or spawning next to a Bubba and getting facecamprd because you were both in a Dead Zone.)

Killer for sure. If you're playing a weak killer, running weak perks, or using weak add-ons, which is the majority btw, you're not having fun. Why? Because you're getting squashed by the survivors when you, the 1 in the 4v1, should be the power role and aren't. All there is against the top % survivors and SWF is Nurse and Spirit. I got lucky tonight and had some fun killer games, probably because I only played 3 and played them really well if I do say so myself. If I had kept playing though, I guarantee you it would have been another rage night for me, as most are. There's compounding things that make you angry. Bad maps, op perks, killer weaknesses, SWF, second chances, having a bad round, tbagging, flashlight clicking, god loops, gen rush, aim dressing, lag, framerate drops, The list goes on.
Survivor is easy street compared to killer. The killer can't be on you all the time, unless he decides to tunnel you out of the game immediately for some reason. But as killer, you have to be on someone all the time. And even if you're on a survivor all the time, you still don't have enough pressure to play catch-up on the flying gens. You need to juggle gen speed and create pallet dead zones as well. Commit to chase too much or commit to defending gens too much, and it's all over. As much gen rush as there is, losing as killer is still slow and painful because there's always a slight chance you could win, but a lot of times there isn't.
As survivor you can tell if you're gonna win or lose. "If we keep this gen speed up, we win." "The killer has hooked too few people at this point to beat us." Yadda yadda. But as killer you never know when you're winning or losing, unless it's really obvious that you're against potatoes who can't do gens. "I have a split-map 3 gen. Hope they aren't on that far one because I can't afford to go defend it. Oh they were on it? It's over." "The gens aren't going too fast. Let's quickly down this guy. He's too good at looping, so let's leave him. Oh, 2 gens popped anyway, so it didn't matter what I did. Suddenly I'm losing."
Killer is way more stressful. Trust me.

I probably get more frustrated when I'm playing killer. Survivors are just so disgusting, they're Toxic and c**ky as f**k. Of course not all of them, but too many of them are. I seriously don't understand what's going through their heads that makes them think it okay to be so disrespectful.

Killer definitely
As survivor at leas the game is designed in my favored, as killer not only am I fighting the other side, I'm fighting the game design as well.
Constant uphill battle as killer from the beginning.
As survivor if we lose its probably my teammates fault, or its one of the members of the unholy killer square of Nurse, Spirit, Freddy, Hag.
Also in a similar vein, if you're interested this recent poll is along the same lines if you want to get more of a feel on the general outlook: https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/244733/do-you-think-killers-or-survivors-are-more-overpowered

Survivor. The amount of bullshit you have to endure as a solo is incredible. Nowadays I play survivor mostly for archive challenges.

Killer is the only side that can have his opponent leave through a magic door in the ground after a 40 minutes match only so you get a big YOU LOST and they, despite doing nothing but hiding, a big WIN. Let alone how killers are the ones who can stand teabagging, flashlight ticking, pointing, etc. Killer is also the only side that has to deal with SWF.

Easily Killer. I play soloq with bad teammates when I want to relax from killer.

Survivor, especially soloqueue but even in swf i get pretty heated

Killer. If a killer is toxic, you have three people backing you up and making the killer sweat for being toxic. If a 4 man SWF on comms is toxic. Then you’re just sweating and losing.

Depends on who I'm up against. Generally speaking I find that playing a killer effectively is more hit and miss and thus more frustrating. That said, killers don't have to worry about useless teammates who hide or literally just AFK all match, being hooked within the first 30 seconds and then tunneled and / or face-camped for the rest of the match once you get free, there are no survivors who are individually as OP as Nurse, Spirit and Hag, etc.
Playing as killer is more frustrating but playing as survivor provides way more opportunities to be frustrated, if that makes any sense.

All I know is after years of playing this game I can have repeated frustrating matches as survivor and ready straight back up again after. One match like that as killer and I move back over to survivor or play something else.

I wonder how much of it is psychological, like from all the horror movies and just the common sense of looking at a bunch of regular people whose opponents are all vicious beasts I wonder if we don't expect that the killer should always have an easy time slaughtering everybody and feel demoralized when we fail.

Killer.
The survivor meta is filled with free everything for nothing. Sprint Burst? Free chase extender for nothing. Lithe? Balanced? Free chase extender for NEXT TO nothing. Dead Hard? Reward for being hit. I could go on.
There's not a lot of perks on the killer side that don't require earning the value from them, and I play survivor with only WGLF for the most part. For BP.

Probably killer, because the current bugs have literally rendered half of my builds unplayable due to the pallet bug and Blight's collision is so astoundingly broken that I don't ever wanna play him again. On top of that, the FOV gives me a headache after playing for a while, Billy's animations aren't fixed yet and over half of the maps in this game are not fun to play on for anyone.
So glad I'm taking a break until the pallet bug is fixed.

Potato teammates in solos are kind of a seperate issue imo. Pretty much all team based multiplayer games have this and it's, unfortunately, always going to happen.
