Killer is unplayable now

Seriously, it’s just a loop fest.

Survivors loop. And, if they’re good enough, you can’t mindgame w/o spirit. If you try to chase and hook one, boom! 3 gens, right there. And with DS we have to catch them twice to actually get them. And most loop, causing those last 2 gens to pop. Then there are flashlights. Loop, slam. Blind. This toxic behavior is unacceptable.

    If you're playing one of the base M1 killers you're in for a bad time and have no control over the game.

    I play Wraith, Spirit, and soon, legion.

    I had a spirit chase me for 4 gens until they finally gave up last night, and this was at Rank 1. So to be honest it’s really just your skill as a killer.

    Well, I dont think killer is unplayable. I have some fun playing killer and I'm still at rank 1. Been playing Freddy for the longest time now and even though he's weaker than others I can still do well. I play other killers such as Clown, Spirit, Doctor, Myers and many others too! Try to find your mistakes when you play, are you chasing someone for too long? Are you not putting enough pressure on gens? Are you leaving pallets down and not breaking them for the next chase? Is your perk build not very effective? All of these things can contribute to a defeat. Killer is not unplayable, compared to the start of this year, Killer is in a good spot, only a few more buffs and the killer side should be perfect. Survivor also needs a few buffs such as reworking underused perks (same with killers) Toning down nurse a bit once every killer is viable, give them more stealth options ect.

    I really hate being the dick to say this stupidly overused sentence but, git gud man. The game is the easiest its ever been for killer.

    And the way its been going lately i would think it would get even easier still.

    Sooo. you don't like killers being under powered but you are also going to pay money for any play legion?????

    Im sure legion will get the same treatment the spirit had after release swinging legion from:
    Fun to verse and aids to play
    to
    Aids to verse and fun to play.

    Yikes.  New player spotted.  You’re more than welcome to join me in 1.2.1 on Wretched Shop.  I can show you a time Killer was borderline unplayable.  

    Yeah I am a noobie :( I believe my best Survivor rank so far is 11 and Killer is 14. I know my experience at these ranks don't compare to those at rank 1, but at my current place solo Survivor seems way easier.

    I know I shouldn't have made that Fixed comment, I guess I comment before I think xD

    This game is easy on both sides now. LF os trash, aside from that, you can easily win most games now a days as killer, and as survivor, if you learn the maps and how to manage time, and also have a smart team, it's easy for all to escape.

    Since when do you play the game exactly?
    The game isn't perfect but it is far from unplayable.
    It use to be unplayable it isn't anymore.

    She's definitely upper tier.

    You can tell the difference between killers easily. You use a low tier one and either a few survivors make it out or you're fighting sweaty and manage to 4k at the last minute.

    Then you switch to a string killer and game after game the exit gates never get powered, or yoi get those lucky matches where they can't even spawn the hatch.

    I'm definitely finding Spirit to be in that latter group.

    Oof those videos.  

    Infinite fast vaults.  No Bamboozle.  No entity blocker.  No Bloodlust.  Actually broken maps.

    Playing Killer is so hard in 2018 😪.

    I'm honestly surprised the game ever took off watching those. Shout out to the killers who stuck with the game and helped the community grow during those dark times.

    I've been watching some videos from late last year too. While the game wasn't as bad as 2016 there was still some insanely strong areas.

    I mean just since summer alone we've had pallet spawn changes so Badham preschol is no longer unbearable anymore, cowtree shrunk, healing nerf.

    The game is definitely getting better for killers than before.

    Shh you’re on the forums.  You’re supposed to say Killer is unplayable, Survivors are favored and Killers are always being nerfed.

    Yeah I can see from those videos how many nerfs killers have had.

    Its funny some of them claim to be old school players yet they're always ranting about how hard killers have it. You think after 2 years they would have "got gud".
