This Game is beginning to give me a Headache (sort of rant, not intentional)
So all in one night I have experienced what I like to call ice land Blight, which everything you try to bump into is seemingly made of ice, and you just slide along it while you watch the Nea who has tea bagged you rob you of your 4k, by getting lucky and finding the hatch right in front of us.
Not sure how this community feels about the hatch but it doesn't really bother me just annoyed I get robbed of 4ks due to the fact that the game seemingly is hindering my capability to over perform, it's kind of irritating, and when this doesn't happen, I'm facing a sweaty 4 man SWF, who are way higher rank than me, and sending me to Haddonfield.
The whole reason I'm trying to learn Blight, is the killers I already know how to play, I can't really seem to do well with at higher ranks, Ghostface, Trapper, Myers, etc, and I know with time I'll get better at them, and be able to do well at high ranks, but it's a long process, and a lot of losses have to be made in order to get some victories, the question is just like, do I even really wanna bother lmao, it's to the point where killers powers don't even work properly, at least for me, and playing Blight, I just slide all around the map with seemingly no hitbox on rushes, not to mention the funny crotch POV he has.
Playing survivor, at least on my end, isn't very fun either, which again, I need to get better, if you tell me to do so don't worry, I'm fully aware, I'm just stating that getting good at this game at the moment seems incresingly difficult, may I say, for all the of the wrong reasons. Hitboxes don't seem to match up with the killer, which, granted, could be their ping, my ping, etc, and these issues are not new to the community, I'm sure of it. I can't play SWF, since I don't have anyone to queue with usually, and if I do play SWF, I do feel extremely hypocritical. I don't rage at this game, I just simply get very disappointed at times when my power seems to not work, or if I get robbed of a four kill game due to hatch RNG. I do not mean to come off as whiny, just stating my mind on the best place, hopefully seeing some others who have the same issues I do.
I do wish other killers had more going for them, while I understand they do not for a reason, most of my favorite killers to play simply just aren't good enough against good survivors, or, are in short, pretty terrible to play as, especially in a game with communications involving a SWF (Trapper, Ghostface, Myers, etc). As stated previously, I do not think the game is killer sided. I do not think the game is survivor sided. Both sides have resources available to help reach their goal via escape, or via kills, so do not think I'm pointing a finger at one side, I am not attempting to start an argument, again, just speaking my mind.
I also am sad that characters like Freddy Krueger have such a... boring kit, the dream snares and pallets are just so... boring. I've had a friend of my tell me to pick up Nurse, or another S tier killer, but I feel as if learning these killers at a higher rank is very difficult and just flat out brutal at times. Blight is fun, and, while I am not the best with him, I usually manage to secure at least one kill. It will take time. I am aware. But, again, when the game begins to have bugs, and I lose the game because of this, it's frustrating. I'm sure we can all agree on that, all I can do is hope for these bugs and issues to be resolved, but it doesn't seem as if this will be fixed any time soon. I also wish some killers would receive reworks, such as Freddy, or even change up Myers to make him a bit more viable.
Running meta perks seems so boring, but if I do not, I lose the game for a plethora of reasons, those reasons being, my perks can't compare to the survivors, I'm not good enough to simply throw a perk up and perform well, and gen regression is such an important factor of this games meta now, which is also something I find irritating.
Am I being whiny? Or, are these things we can agree on?

If you are learning blight you don’t really have to run meta since you’re just practising his power. Keep at it though blight is insanely strong once you get the hang of him

Working on it, just hard to enough the game when every game trying to learn is a curbstomp, I'm doing the best I can though, wish I picked him up a bit earlier.

We all need to rant every now and then its okay.
And for the record, you bring up plenty of valid points.
Maybe take a break from the game for a while, come back during the double BP event?

Lately I have been playing survivor, hoping to see the POV of the game through a survivor perspective in order to help with my killer performance. I started doing this to take a break from killer, try to relax a bit. I don't rage like I used to when I was a bit younger, but sometimes i do get aggravated like we all do, but playing survivor has been... modestly okay, aside from the many face camping Bubbas that I do come across, and for some reason the other day a basement nurse who would keep blinking in and out making sure no one got there, but I have been doing a bit better with it, I just wanted to post this in order to see if anyone else thought the same as I do.

You are not being whiney because you admit that you need to work on your skill. Sure you complain a bit but that is fine as you put blame where it is in due. Blight has issues with buttered walls and he needs skill. You empathise both of those aspects so it is not whiney. Ranting is fine this is why forums like this exist.
I used to get headachs too when I was acting more tryhard. However I since found peace by playing to different objectives with each Killer, getting a bit more of the immersion by choosing fitting perks and taking a few more losses because of suboptimal perks choices.
As an example I run Myers with Monitor, Infectious, Safe the Best and Bamboozle/Lightborn. I discard all regression perks as I can not see Myers using a Hex:Ruin without ruining his image. Sure I loose matches with this setup but it is worth it for cheap jumpscares with your 8m terror radius in T2.
I run BBQ quiet often and play the minigame to first fully stack my BBQ befor the first survivor dies. And in general I set the goals of the game for myself. A 4k has no meaning for me if I archive it with tunneling or camping (not counting survivor induced version of those).
However I do not know if this mindset can help you. However if you try to learn and perfect Blight maybe you could set a similar goal: One very sick hit around a corner per match maybe? When I play Bubba as an example my goal is to get one sick chainsaw done where I mindgame the survivor to think I come from one side but sprint to the other side of the loop and down them.

That's something I also need to do, have a learn not win mindset, which is what I'm currently trying to do (watching Otz helps a lot). Thank you for the kind words and advice.
