    First off, @The_Crusader is probably the most biased survivor main on the forums.

    Second: CLEANSE TOTEMS TO REMOVE NOED

    Third; You would hate my endgame Wraith ;)
    Lol here we go with the survivor main garbage again.

    Say anything negative about killers = survivor mains.

    This forum is so warped and hostile to anyone who dares to suggest maybe not everything is peachy for survivors. If you don't follow the dogma that killers have it soooo hard and they need 1000 buffs and survivors have everything easy and hassle free then you get verbally abused and ganged up on. It's an extremely toxic forum. Notnsurprised thoigh when influences like tydetyme etc have been pushing this for so long.
    So, just screw point 2 then

    Yeah whatever. You have such double standards it's ridiculous and think the entire game should be about the killer and what they want from a game.

    you have never really played killer, have you?

    cuz right now, you seem exactly like a little 12 year old OchiDO fanboy who gives a ######### about balance and just wants to bully killers until they DC.

    honestly, people like you are a shame for the whole community.

    Petty much? I see I triggered you in the other thread and now you come here to call names.

    I exclusively play killer at this point. I play killer a lot. I'm aware that not everything is perfect and survivors can be toxic little sods at times but that doesn't excuse the extremely toxic killer sided attitude this forum has.

    Daring to stand up for survivors here gets you so much abuse it's ridiculous. 

    I never "bully" killers. I only annoy those who camp. You seem like one of those killers who wants to bully survivors. Put them on the hook and then stand there whacking them for 2 mins - I bet you think thats a "lEgIt StRaTeGy"

    You mean like you lot do?

    This forum is just salty killer mains asking for buff after buff after buff to killer and ganging up on anyone who dares to suggest maybe things aren't perfect for survivors.

    Not to mention most of the buffs asked for are incredibly stupid but who cares about balance so long as survivors are exposed for most of the game and you can get easy 4ks eh?

    You create a really hostile atmosphere for survivor players, it's no wonder not as many get involved in these discussions.

    I am a survivor main, a very casual player. At 1st I was really confused about ur op and had to read it multiple times.
    I think I got what u a re saying and Im sorry honey u are wrong.
    Now I actually want to help u but 1st let me answer this to thing I quote.

    As a survivor main since last new years when I gifted this game to myself, killers were at one point laughably easy to avoid and outsmart. Killers really needed a buff. I as a casual managed to climb to rank 15 in no time doing 1 simple strategy with my friend. In the end when I was even solo I managed to remain in 10-15 relatively easy. Again I am not a hc player I am a casual horror fan, and those ranks should be the ranks for my scared self, who still fails against Myers horribly!

    Now to go back to ur op:
    What part of killer wants u dead do u not understand?! ( rupaul reference dont kill me xD )
    This is a vs co op game, killer needs to have an ability and strategy to kill us, and no one in their right set of mind will not keep tabs on the hooked survivor. If the situation is that ur fellow mate is hooked and killer is not too far but not too close, and persists to be in that area this is what u can do to potentially save them:
    Besides the obvious of running borrowed time u can approach the hook from the side that ur back is turned TO THE KILLER. So that even if the killer manages to close the distance u will be hit and not ur mate. If ur not hit but the killer is approaching BE THEIR SHIELD. Stay behind them until killer is angry at u and then split up to make him choose ( this usually results in both survivors escaping, emphasis on USUALLY ). Be extra careful if its leatherface as he can down u both, or against Myers.
    Another thing that u can do ( requires at least 1 friend ), is to taunt the killer. Whoever is better u or ur swf taunts the killer by approaching the hook and pretending to rescue while the other one is hidden close by. When the killer is distracted or in an animation ( missed hit, stun etc ) UNHOOK.
    This can also work with flashlight one blinds the other one unhooks, me and my friend saved many many ppl doing this.

    If ur hooked, and solo plan ur escape routes. Survivors do dumb things sometimes and thats ok plan ahead the direction u will to in order to be safe, if someone rescues u and killer is coming. Abuse maps and killers 1st person view as much as u can. U wont belive how many times I have managed to hide in plain sight with certain character on certain maps ( few examples claudette in hadosnfield, hiding in the bush mid chase. Laurie in hospital hiding literally next to the wall etc )

    God what is it with you? Killers are ALWAYS perfect in your eyes, they can do no wrong!

    The survivors are stupid to run for the unhook yes but its the killers fault for not leaving the hook in the first place.

    But god forbid these people want to unhook someone and help them enjoy the game. I can see why you play killer now, you clearly lack any kind of empathy for other people.

    Lets not forget that because lf how the stupid system works survivors actually LOSE points when another survivor is hooked. The only way they can earn this back is by unhooking.

    So no pal, it's the killers who are toxic. Theu sit there refusing to put any effort into the game and even if survivors rush gens they can't pip due to losing benevolence points and getting no evader points.

    Keep defending it though. Really showing your true colours.

    You do not know jack about me, so stop judging me.
    You could not be further from the truth, but I refuse to go that route and defend myself here against your personal attacks.

    You just use an ad hominem to attack me, to cover up your weak arguments.
    The killer can play how he wants. There is no right to unhook or get unhooked. Your enjoyment is something the killer is obliged to take care of.

    And talking about your precious empathy: are you aware that the killer PLAYER are also human beings?
    They are not just there to take care about YOUR "fun", but they themself are actually playing a videogame for THEIR enjoyment.
    so stop asking for more punishments for legal gameplays.

    While I’m not agreeing nor disagreeing with either side of the argument because I can relate to both sides to some degree. You do know that we are ALL human beings playing right? If the killer has the right to play how he wants (toxic or not) the survivor does as well whether that be flashlighting or just doing gens. It’s not JUST the killer that has the right to play how they want. The survivors are not entitled to make YOUR game fun as the same goes for the killer side. That’s why both sides get butthurt over certain things happening in their rounds. I don’t condone toxic players but any player can play how they want to as long as the aren’t breaking any rules.

    Ok so I gave survivor one more try today to see if it was just a bad weekend. Tried to do your strat...

    • Start on autohaven, gas heaven.

    • Start near gen in shop so I work on it.

    • Kate runs in shortly after with Myers following her, he hears gen so comes after me

    • I decide to take one for the team and give the killer a tour of pallet town as you suggested

    • Do that for a little while successfully - 1 gen pops

    • Accidentally come across 2 Dwights on a gen

    • Myers pops tier 3 and somehow downs them both because even though one of them could have easily made it to killer shack in time it seems he didn't bother to run very far at all.

    • Kate disconnects

    • Unhook both Dwights but Myers is barely giving them a chance to get away before downing them again

    • Next few minutes is me cycling between trying to get another gen done to spawn the hatch and rescuing both Dwights

    • One Dwight dies. A second gen pops. Myers finds the other Dwight and slugs him.

    • That's right despite absolutely dominating the game, despite the fact that these Dwights are obviously novices, despite the fact that someone disconnected with only 1 gen done this sweaty piece of garbage decides he wants the 4k.

    • Hide from him while he lurks about. He eventually goes around a stack of cars so I go to pick Dwight up but myers sees me and chases me off. Dwight is in the middle of the map so Myers is trying to look around but also keep an eye on Dwight at the same time.

    • So I have to hide for 2 mins or however long it is until Dwight bleeds out and the hatch spawns. It takes all the willpower I have to not just disconnect and go play something more fun than the videogame equivalent of watching paint dry.

    • Dwight bleeds out. Myers stands around camping the hatch but eventually I manage to sneak to it and escape.

    The state of solo survivor in 2018.

    I hope the devs are reading this because that right there is a typical game for me. Not exagerrating that is genuinely how most games go. Survivors who go down two at once, survivors who disconnect, killers who get an easy game with disconnects yet slug to drag the game on longer anyway, sneaking around for the hatch while the killer camps it.

    Yeah I'm done it's not for me. If anyone here enjoys this then more power to them I'm not trying to take away from that but it's really not for me anymore. I find no fun in it. I'm just going to stick to killer from now on unless things radically change or maybe I'll do survivor if friends are playing.

    You just described 90% of my solo games. I have permanent residentsleeper face whenever i play survivor these days.

    And talking about facts vs emotions…
    The difference is that all the stuff I am "complaining" are not about "survivor just play the way they want", I "complain" about BALANCE.
    Of course survivor will use the best and most efficient tactics and perks, but those are just plain out of balance, since the whole gamebalance is tilted towards survivor (at least if they don't play like complete brainless noobs).
    Survivor here in the forum on the other hand want balanced stuff nerfed, because they "feel" it is "unfair" or they are "annoyed" by those tactics. In most cases there is already possible countertactics available, but they do not want to use those. They just want the killer to get FORCED to play in a certain way, they prefer.
    That's what I constantly call the survivorlogic or doublestandards.
    Those complains are only similar on the surface, but if you take a look at them without the biased survivor googles on, they are not.
    Killer here mostly ask for BALANCE and survivor ask for more crutches, safety nets, training wheels and punishments to killer for legal gameplays.
    Of course some survivor will pop up now and call the complete opposite, what I call "balance" is just the demand for "ez 4k every game", but I think anybody actually playing the game on both sides should be able to see the true missbalance of the game. At least if they ever play past the mid ranks. And IF they play killer and actually try to get kills and not just entertain their fellow survivor (aka killvivor).
    Also their will come some "killer mains" claiming that killer is easy and they get 4k constantly vs full SWF at rank 1... yea.. sure… IF they are that good, enjoy. Do I believe all these people…? Not so much.

    Weird.

    When I play Survivor I go Solo and things have been going pretty well for me.

    Hell I was only sacrificed twice in my last ten games.

    I'm a Rank 8 survivor and I only started playing like 2 months ago yet I can get through most of my games. And I spend my time splitting my games between Killer and Survivor so I don't really "main" either.

    Sure some games you get really good Killers or you get really bad teammates but I haven't found it to be oppressive, at all, in anyway like you make it out to be. In all seriousness I find it WAY more stressful to be a Killer, especially if I go against a SWF team which is... often.

    And the stats dont say how much of those 60 which arent escapes are actually earned kills or disconnects, with survivor suiciding on hooks further muddying the stats.

    With the current general survivor behaviour any stats concerning kills and escapes aren't as helpful as they could be.

    And to The_Crusaders example solo round: 
    Just because multiple sandbags,  DC'ing and allegedly bad teammates, its somehow not the sirvivors fault?

    Don't forget the snowball kills.
    One guy hears the Nurse blink (static field scream, nursery ryhme, whatever he dislikes) and straight up DCs.
    Leaving his 3 mates with 5 gens to do.
    (Same for "I did not like the map")
    Not only will he count as a "kill", but his mates are put at a disadvantage and most likely will get killed also.

    Same is true for all those Dcs (or suicides on the hook) for each "crap I was found first", "crap I was downed", "crap I was hooked".

    And to many games turn from 1k into 3k just by the overconfidence of survivor and their "no one left behind" attitude.

    Those stats would be much better if survivor would actually need to escape.

    But if the escape rate is below 50% then what would more killer buffs do? Drive it down even further.

    Also this game yeah it was the survivors fault for disconnecting. Still not sure why that guy had to drag the game out though by slugging and then hatch camping after we were put at a disadvantage by having someone quit. Some killers just suck and will take any 4k they can get.

    But again this was an example of the survviors being at fault - but every game at the weekend it was the killers at fault.

    I love how people bring up those raw stats and take it as proof

    So let's say we are playing a moba and the worse league/rank lose more than they win, it means they should help them buffing the most used heroes in that bracket? I guess so

    For DbD the player base growing so it means more new players who spend 15+minutes in one game because they are nwebie and eventually die. Most of the player as won't take the game in a competitive mindset as others and be more casual. Pou in that stats they didn't specifically few things put on context:
    - derank is endorsed by BHVR
    - didn't specify if DC count as death or escape for both prospectives or taken into account
    - its raw stats before the rank reset, 7 days before and point one still stand
    - some people stay at lower rank by purpose AFking 
    - some people just giggle around and get killed

    Basing opinion on what's strong and what's not by looking the whole community death/kill ratio its a stupid way of balance. In that way you are actually saying to balance it towards bottom to top instead of the other way around like any pvp game in existence. You wanna make it fair for the most skilled players so the newbies have a goal to reach, handing helps to the most means hurt the higher level players that can abuse these things to their advantage having a better understanding of the game

    Someone could say its fair because its not competitive but even there it would be wrong. Since its a PvP game with 2 sides fighting each other asymmetrical or not, that's competitive. I can play cards with friends, its competitive even if we are playing friendly and this concept exist in every game. A plus is the introduction of the rank system, flawed in many way but would take age to explain what but shows even more than is competitive by nature and the ridiculous tournaments they have

    So based on that they should stop trying to help newbies and starting to balance toward high level players instead of throwing that sand in the eye that they call "stats" an "facts" as excuse. I can have the same stats™ about any PvP game and have the same results since the lower ranks/ bad players/ casual / callthemhowyouwant would always be wider

    This is like saying "rock, paper, scissors" is a "competitive" game. Moreover, you just told all people having issues here the answer...stop taking this game so seriously, just like you and your friends would if you played cards.

    Rank means nothing except to those who keep bringing it up, like yourself, to support that it's "competitive" when it's not.

    DbD - Competitive game. Pick one.

    unplayable? dunno i play both sides and some maps are still insta escape for me. as for the rest it depends on teammates. if killers tunnel we just genrush the ######### out of him and he gets only -1 at least. well sometimes tunnel works against brainless survivors and saying it's garbage is the same as saying looping or genrush, stealth, slugging are garbage.

    There's no code of ethics people need to follow in game. As a survivor, you can loop, teabag, flashlight spam, bodyblock and so forth as much as you like. As a killer you may camp, tunnel, bodyblock (basement stairs) and whatever else upsets people. What you choose to do is up to you, you're not there for the pleasure of your competitor.

    Being bitter and making snide comments about the "survivor mains" or "killer mains" just makes you look biased and clueless, particularly when people state they play both sides but obviously have a clear leaning towards one and ignore the other's advantages.

    How do you "shake the killer" when the moment you're unhooked they're already on their way back to the hook

    I agree with you about coldwind btw. Having a claudette burn that every few games isn't fun. Theres 4 of those maps anyway so they're commoj enough akready without survivors burning them.

    And yes I think the devs could adjust the maps a bit.

    Just a few things I've noticed and no i'm not taking sides here this is just some observations.

    Yes it's true that some people on here both sides will defend something just because it's their side they're backing up.

    The escape stats aren't the end all because we don't have a complete data breakdown by any of the following metrics.

    By rank (Both killer and survivor rank as well as average for survivors)
    By time of day
    By region (if this is still meaningful)
    By groups solo, 1 duo, 2 duo's, 3 or 4 man swf etc.
    Was this an exit gate escape or hatch escape.
    For the above if it was hatch how many gens were left.
    Did someone dc/crash on either side?
    Did the killer let 1 or more escape either via gate or hatch?
    Did people just suicide either on hook or to the killer (example the Halloween event is a perfect one)

    You'd really need those and the breakdown in each of those within the other categories as well.

    There is no killer main or survivor main, just preferences for what you enjoy more unless you're a Freddy or Bubba main then you're just a masochist.

    Map offerings always being the same is rare otherwise the devs would've already adjusted that with the weighting system. If you're having issues throw your own map offering in. That's what those that play killer more suggest to survivors that complain about it.

    Also for the lol's don't let it bother you if you're taking it negatively, take it as a badge of honor or perhaps someone thought you said something they found amusing.
