What is the most fun way to depip

The body block clown at dead dawg saloon in that one room and the secret bodyblock room at midwich is the most fun way to depip.

A lot of them were swf the solo's would usually just leave the match after they finished all the gens, and wouldn't bother looking for me. I've done it like 15-20 times.

You'll get reds at any rank, but no hooks is a good way to go and you still get to kill Survivors

I like to either meme if the map is good for it (if it's Gas Heaven, I'll go and man the shop counter, if it's Dead Dawg, I'll be a bartender, if it's Campbell's Chapel, I'll play carnival games), or do something stupid like aggressively guard a totem or chest if it's not.

Sometimes I just chase and down survivors like normal but refuse to hook them. Between Devout and Malicious, you'll depip, and still play the game (and not rob survivors of the opportunity to play the game either, because sometimes you get players that don't want to meme.)

Another thing I like to do is set stupid challenges for myself that guarantee I play badly. Like speed limiter Billy and you can only M2, or Scarred Hand Hag, or Burger King Myers.

Can't teleport to traps anymore, traps have collision. It's a really terrible addon, but it has some funny applications where you can bodyblock survivors with your traps by placing them in doorways/corridors. Otz has a video where he locked down the entire Badham main building plus basement, and survivors just couldn't get through the building in time. Can't say I've ever used that addon to any effect, though. :P

Oh, that's another meme game you can play - Hag, the useless addon that makes her traps deafen, and then go find an enclosed space like the killer shack/main building/a choke point and place all of your traps there, then laugh when a survivor inevitably runs through.

When I want to depip I practice Nurse or play Smolface which is when as Ghostface you crouch only, the only time you can stand is when carrying a survivor, and no stalking.

The fact that people are asking "Hey how can I depip and lower my rank in a fun way bothers me because you did all the work to get to where you are and didn't seem to have a problem then, now that you're ranked higher the game isn't fun anymore?

Why is that exactly?

Hide and seek with stealth killer. You find a hiding spot, when survivor finds you hit them so they don't follow you, find new spot to hide, repeat. Also if they're running spine chill and you keep setting it off while hiding they tend to miss skill checks if they're nervous about a stealth killer. 😂

As stealth killer choose a gen to guard. Anytime survivors go near it hit them. This is good on Haddonfield in Myers house, can guard gen and basement chest from being searched.

As Ghostface find a hiding spot and spend match just marking survivors that come into your view - works best on maps with 2nd floor vantage point. Fun to watch them scatter when marked.

As Nurse, put on Insidious and NOED, at start of match blink behind exit gate, wait for survivors to finish gens and open gate, surprise them with instadown. You can either watch them crawl out or hook them.

As Trapper spend match trapping up killer shack (if possible play offering for basement to be in shack), don't bother pressuring survivors, they'll come to you for boldness points. Some survivors will just do gens and leave BUT most really want that basement chest or to undo traps after that last gen is done for extra points. Once last gen is finished go open closest exit, you'll probably hear a trap disarm because a survivor really wants that basement chest before they leave. Make sure you double trap the window because many survivors will think they're out smarting you by disarming outside window trap and climb through window only to be caught in second trap inside. Hook survivor in basement, reset traps, enjoy snowball.

The earlier ranks are very casual. Win or lose, you don't have to think very hard and everyone's either confused or vibing.

The higher ranks are saturated with players that take the game more competitively - sometimes in a constructive way, sometimes not. You're more likely to encounter players that get angry at you for playing the game (both your foes and your teammates) and lash out at you afterwards, you're more likely to encounter players that gloat and treat you like crap, and you're much more likely to meet players that BM you throughout the match. As a solo survivor, your ability to escape is going to go down the toilet, and as a killer, you're going to start running into bully squads on the regular. And matchmaking loves to pair you with opponents a tier or two above your rank, especially when the other side's queue is overloaded. So the red rank sweat squads are a problem even for green rank killers, who are woefully unequipped to handle them - but it's more of a warning of things to come than a constant issue.

People who play to unwind don't want every game to be against people who've worked the game down to a 400-level science, or people whose goal in the game is to make the other side ragequit. Matchmaking will move you upwards as long as you understand what your objectives are, and at purple/reds, every game is going to be a sweatfest, so they derank to move back into the zone where the games were on average chill and enjoyable rather than frustrating and humiliating.

Like, I'm stuck at rank 4 as a survivor, I'm horrible at looping, and I escape maybe one out of ten matches. The only reason I don't derank is because I can't do that as a survivor without punishing my teammates. The matchmaking will push you above where you belong if you play too many games in a short period of time. But it means I have way less fun playing survivor than I used to - and much less fun than when I play killer, because for killer I can control my rank and stay in an area with a comfortable challenge level (when it's not pairing me with full red SWFs, anyway, but I can take those every once in a while. Every other game and I'd quit DBD immediately.) I'm here to play for fun, not train for a tournament, and running ten rounds around a set of walls before giving up and walking away five times in one game isn't my idea of a good time.

Tl;dr, people are nastier at high ranks, high ranks are filled with experienced SWFs on comms, and getting completely outplayed is demoralizing. High ranks are less fun than middle/low ranks unless you play for the challenge.

When I don't care about ranks, bloodpoints, or such and just want to mess around, I'll choose Myers and try to race the survivors. Basically, you put both ultra rare add-ons on Myers. So it will take a long time to get to tier 3 but when you do you can kill anyone at any point. The main rule here though....you are not allowed to make any offensive actions against the survivors until you are in tier 3. Perks are your call. The goal is to get tier 3 and kill them before the survivors can finish the gens and leave.

That's a fair argument, but there are also a lot of people the de rank just so they can slaughter lower rank players. I've watched people stream who flat out say the want to smurf so they can get easier games. I understand the more competitive the higher you get that makes sense. However lowing your rank so that you get easier opponents is kind of dirty.

I like running a meme build idea and do a completely different objective.

EX: Play Plague with Discordance, Oppression, Surge and Surveillance. Use Black Incense and Severed Toe, vomit on Survivors if they're close together or are already sick. Vomit on objects randomly, punish them for not cleansing. I call it COVID Plague.

There's also Crack Wraith, with Purple and Green Shadow Dance addons w/Iron Maiden, Brutal Strength, Fire Up and Bamboozle. Basically do everything lightning fast.

It's not hard work to get into red ranks and red ranks are no fun to play on. I have more fun at purple ranks.

I enjoy just following people with doctor and constantly shocking them LOL. Some survivors will just stop and stare at you when they’ve had enough, it’s so funny
