Why do killer only user hate stealthy playstyles.

Lack of adrenaline in the chase for me I suppose. There's nothing wrong when someone wants to play stealthy. I don't hate it but I do live for the chases and the rewarding feeling of ending the chase and making a good play which resulted in a down. It gets boring for me when only 2 survivors are left, it turns into a game of hide and go seek and basically whoever I catch first as they simultaneously look for hatch and essentially sell the other out for hatch escape. But in game if I come back to a gen I just kicked and there's even a tiny bit more progress, I know someone's stealthily lurking around and usually with a quick and thorough inspection of the area, there is one and the chase begins. ^.^

Tldr; I like the action and thrill of the chase and hunt rather than hide and go seek.

I hate looping survivors, its so boring. - Killer replying to different thread

I hate stealthy survivors, its so boring. - Same killer replying to this thread

i don't mind it at the beginning of the match because there are 4 survivors and I'm going to bump into one eventually but when there are just two survivors left waiting for the other to be killed to get the hatch then i have issues.

That's what it sounded like to me, yes. People who complain about stealth players (not talking about the ones who sit in a corner and never do anything, I mean real stealth players who help with the objectives without being spotted by the killer) usually have trouble finding survivors in the first place, which is why they prefer the ones who run out into the open.

Your comments support my hypothesis.

Disregard the made-up points, note the "escape" part. They wouldn't escape if you'd found them, since you supposedly camp them.

And the killer offers very poor gameplay against the survivor. Survivors and killers are opponents, we're not supposed to play in ways that the other side finds advantageous.

There's a pandemic going on, didn't you hear? And local laws prohibit people from putting each other on meat hooks to sacrifice them to an evil entity.

So one survivor wins (escapes) and the others die, but you think the ones who died had the better playstyle. Is it me, or is that a little backwards?

Nobody* uses Distortion. I'd have believed you if you'd swapped that out with Iron Will.

*Hyperbole.

Only issue I have with it is that I play on Xbox X so most maps are near pitch black even with brightness turned all the way up.

I play both sides

So as a survivor:

If I wanted to play something like Assassins creed or Splintercell where I'm sneaky the entire time I'd play those games, not this.

Playing stealthy isn't that useful besides waiting out for hatch or waiting for your team to carry you by doing gens/keeping killer preoccupied.

You also don't score that much simply surviving.

As killer:

The stealth gameplay is the least fun part of the game honestly. You just feel like you are wandering around wasting time. A killer isn't obligated to find and kill everyone right away but it sucks having the first 5 minutes of a game be nothing accomplished (such as gens not being worked on).

It also sucks as a killer to have a survivor to scared to do anything get the hatch when the survivor didn't do anything to help their team and this penalizes the killers for a do nothing escaping

Either side:

It's just not really a fun way to play since it takes minimal effort and your survivor teammates also don't want you to be dead weight. Having a super stealthy teammate is honestly more of a hindrance than a dead survivor because a dead survivor at least makes hatch spawn faster

To summarize, it's not fair if survivors play stealthily because:

• They escape
• It's boring for the killer

And therefore survivors should play in a way that gets them killed.

But it is fair for the killer to play for kills even though:

• They win more easily
• It's boring for the survivors

And therefore killers should continue playing for kills.

There's a very clear double standard here that I've been trying to point out for several comments now. If you still don't get it, you'll have to wait for someone else to explain it, because I've no idea how else to do it.

This is kinda funny. I hear killer's all the time saying "SuRvIvOrS sHoUlD bE aFrAiD oF KiLLeR!". This may be the only time I've heard a killer say "Survivors shouldn't be afraid of the killer."

I feel like this is a bad stereotype.

I play killer, but prefer the stealthy survivors to those who optimally run circles around pallets.

As killer I hate “immersed” survivors because they take forever to find and the survivor generally has a huge advantage over the killer in terms of hiding because of the third person view. And killers don’t really have time to search around the edges of the map just for someone to be urbaning around the z wall or whatever. It’s just not very interactive, the game isn’t really designed around the “hide and seek” strategy as much as the looping side of things.

as a survivor I would much rather take the aggro for my team especially if I’m solo because I’m decent at looping. I feel like a decent mix of stealth and looping can work for most survivors, you don’t have to wear the pink Claudette jacket or purple nea wig and click your flashlight, but typically stealthy survivors can’t hold their own in chase cuz they rank up by hiding and getting their escape points that way. IMO if you’re a red rank survivor, you need to take your turn with the killer regardless of if you’re good at looping or not. If you see everyone else dead on hook and you haven’t been hooked yet, it’s your turn. That’s if you’re playing it as a team game, which most solo survivors don’t. Overall it’s just irritating on both sides because in reality you’re not actually doing anything by hiding. Like in terms of gameplay you’re just hiding, Idk how that’s fun for people unless they’re brand new. At higher ranks I expect more of my teammates and if they play immersed I basically just assume they’re doing nothing the whole time
