Most Frustrating Match You've Ever Played?
For whatever reason.
Mine has to be a game from about a year ago, that prompted me taking a lengthy break from the game. I have a feeling that it was before the 'afk crows' were added.
Was playing Bubba, enemy team was a full SWF.
They switched to 4x Blendettes at the last second. Map was Haddonfield.
I'm usually a 'good guy' killer - I won't usually tunnel or camp, unless you either start teabagging/flashing me or I haven't gotten a kill and there is 1-0 gens left.
Naturally, they start off cocky, flicking and taunting me. So I nabbed one, and downed another when they came to unhook.
After I killed 1, the others decided to sulk - and spent the next almost hour playing hide and seek in the bushes. Not doing gens or anything, just stalling the game out forever. Took me ages. Finally killed them, and they raged in endgame chat. Apparently it's fine to switch to an annoying comp last second and act the fool in game, but camping is just too far.
A close second would be back when there were certain parts of the 'farm' map, where a downed survivor could crawl between doodads and you'd be unable to pick them up...
How about you?

A bit back me and a meg were about to do the last gen it was like 95% or something and I'm injured right
Well she decides to run away I try to commit but I go down at 99% of the gen and she doesn't return to try and finish the gen

I've seen something odd recently - a lot of survivors either completely AFK, or deliberately letting people die on hook. I wonder if they are trying to manipulate their MMR.

Nah most survivors are dumb right now and I'm guessing relatively new players that came from the Resident evil announcement.
People with self care is really abundant with randoms right now, It's basically their base kit. I mean I see self care here and there before but the frequency wasn't this bad before I quit the game like back when just before pyramid head got released.
Also I'm aware that this is on my killer side but I can play a random game of survivor right now with my teammates guaranteed to having self care lol.

Oh and topic. Frustrating match is the killer didn't getting any hooks because you got chased the entire game. Finally got downed but your teammates threw the entire game by getting Snow ball'd and didn't do any saves they should have done since they were too busy self caring so they missed the timing.
Imagine the killer being so bad that his only hook was when all the generators was done but your teammates were even more awful he got a 4K miraculously.

A few could be newbies, sure - but I'm seeing even higher 'grade' survivors deliberately sandbagging games, going AFK in a corner, running directly to me (and then dying on a hook) or standing in front of a hooked ally and teabagging or something.

Hahaha! I've been there before, as a killer.
😁Sometimes you just get totally outclassed, or insanely unlucky and barely even see a survivor before 4 gens are done (especially back in the days of prenerf OoO, where a premade could see you coming and move long before you saw them), only for you to get one hook that snowballs into a full set of basement ornaments.
It can feel good, especially with how toxic/cocky some of these SWF groups would get.

You can remember just 1? Literally most of us has to dig through a haystack of frustrating matches just to get one decent one.

Honestly my more frustrating games have been recent. I have run into five or six games in the last week or so ,where PC players have been deliberately trying to get me killed. Blocking doorways, repeatedly finding me on gens and either blowing them and running, fast vaulting, dropping pallets, very obvious sandbagging or deliberately helping the killer.
I'm going to say I have just had a rush of bad luck being put into teams of players who are obviously bored with the normal game, since I haven't heard of anyone else experiencing this, but it doesn't make it any less frustrating.

I just had a pretty frustrating match, which is abnormal for me--I generally don't get annoyed at the game. Maybe not my MOST frustrating match, but they escape me... probably because they were frustrating! But this time, it was a Doctor (whom I love to play against! That's why this was so much more souring for me), and I got tunnelled while the three-man I was matched with were goofing off with him and clicking their beamers... not doing generators. For some reason, even though they were being pesky and up in his face, he decides to leave them and try to find me while I'm just being a gen-bot and trying to progress the game. I admittedly didn't do super well with my looping (it's been ages since I've faced Doctor, sadly) and ended up on the hook, then proceeded to get camped and then tunnelled off hook once more. I guess he got his Killer Power Fantasy because he tried to farm with the last two Survivors but they refused so he killed the one while the other left through the hatch. Pretty annoying when the Killer just gives a big middle finger to two out of four Survivors and then plays nice guy with the last two.
This is coming off of two games against Nurses, one where I got left on the ground all four minutes of my bleedout timer and then the Nurse kept teleporting on top of the last Survivor's body for three minutes and then hooked them... not a great night for DbD!

Playing against Wraith because I don't know who decided this character needed to be the way he is right now. It's way easier to buff up a character who is weak than dial back one that is too strong... newbie killer or not he does not need to be that strong. Either remove his movement speed in cloak or remove the speed boost after uncloaking. No add-ons should change or re-add these features.

Interesting. Every tier list I've seen has him squarely in the center.
I'll admit that I'm seeing this quite a lot as killer right now. Maybe 1/3 of the games has one survivor teabagging in front of a hooked person, AFK in a corner or running directly to me and then dying on hook.
0 -
Tier lists are always personal opinion and in comparison to another killer like Nurse or Huntress who outclass Wraith in precision. That doesn't mean Wraith wasn't tweaked a little too much.

Yesterday, I was playing Nurse and there was this Claire in my game who was obviously hacking. I couldn't even hit her and she would blind me out of the blue whenever I'd carry a survivor. She would also just go through window vaults without even vaulting and also open exit gates without even touching the switch?

Most frustrating was a recent game where there was 2 diff swf and I played nurse, I saw them switch to toolboxes and one key last second so I knew something was up. Key user used all stealth perks and rarely showed herself or did any objectives unless her friend was being chased on comms, the rest of the survs had FULL genrush kits and bnp each. ALL prove thyselves etc, I still played very well and got 6 hooks with 1 kill but then what happened? they got 3gened and held the game hostage for 7 minutes not doing gens and hiding until all 3 escaped through hatch, doing the typical tbagging etc before they did. Then proceeded to tell me how bad I am at killer in end game chat, how I have 0 game sense, "get good" etc.

When everyone is telling you something, perhaps they aren't wrong?
A cursory look, and I can't find a single big name killer player who ranks Wraith as anything less than 'mediocre'.
Are you certain that this isn't just a personal dislike?
Oh yeah, I run into this groups sometimes. It's astounding how BM survivors can be if you don't just let all 4 get away.

I have never seen so many swf players tbag and click at exit gates like they HAVENT just gotten by off of 3 body blocks and DH when they are ALL deathhook "ggez!" dude you got off by the skin of your teeth with 3 copout perks

I think if they ever nerf Spirit to the level of Wraith then more people would play Wraith because there's no benefit...again as I mentioned earlier, when you compare Wraith to another killer who is better or does a much better job-- then Wraith can look like total garbage. He is not garbage at all, just not being played as a 'meta killer' right now.

All games where the others are farming. I hate it and I do report all of them for refusing to participate in normal gameplay or whatever it says. I want to see more bans for this type of behavior.

It's hard to say what my most frustrating match was since I play killer. So it's changing every night, you see?

That is an appeal to majority fallacy. I now main Wraith instead of Spirit because although he may not be the strongest he is still very strong and he is the easiest killer in the game.
0 -
Wraith and Spirit are entirely different animals though, aside from their basic 'spoopy' theme.
It's always endearing when people quote fallacies without actually knowing what they mean.
An AFA fallacy only works if the authority being referred to has no commonly agreed upon expertise, or as a red herring. Of course, 'x expert sources say different' is a cogent response to a claim.
Otherwise, any linking or reference to any source would be 'an argument from authority'.
'I believe that elephants only live 20 years'.
'Well, here are several sources stating that the median age of an elephant is much longer'
'ARGUMENT FROM AUTHORITY'
Here, the appeal to a fallacy is, itself, fallacious. Because if we follow that line of logic, there is no such thing as an expert opinion on anything.
There's actually a name for this specific fallacy, but it escapes me now.

Every game on legion at high MMR becomes my most frustrating. That Killer is a chore to play now a days

Just had a match were then gen got on almost instantly and people were getting up in 2 seconds only got 1 hook was constantly being flashlights as if they guy had infinite charges

Those matches were i loop shack as good as it gets and suddenly out of nowhere a random meg runs to the shackpallet and drops it instantly to "help out".

The game I played where I did absolutely everything without getting detected once. I unhooked people, I healed people, I somehow found the time to do three gens as well and we eventually made it to one gen remaining with only one other person still alive.
The killer slugged them, hoping I would come out of hiding. I did and I got the slug back on their feet right as the killer came back, which was the first time he had seen me all game. He downed me, hooked me, facecamped me and made it very clear to the other survivor that I was not to be unhooked. They tried to unhook me anyway and he grabbed them. I died and he gave the other survivor hatch.
In the chat he called me out for being a trash stealth gamer. I was so angry, because that made it seem as though all I had done that game was pretend to be a bush. In reality, I had played so well, constantly scrambling to keep the team from falling apart while also doing some gens, all the while remaining hidden, and I got punished for it. I didn't play anymore that evening.

There does seem to be a new hacking suite/some new hacks in the wild.
By far the most bizarre one was a survivor doing gens while walking around on top of the map somehow, tonight. Only spotted him thanks to BBQ.

My origin story as a child of light. Basically, someone was following me as I downed someone near a wall. I hit them to chase them off, and faced the wall to pick up suspecting they just left, and in case they didn't, I wanted to rush so they couldn't get in position. But it was fine, because I was facing a FREAKING wall. I see the light coming at me from 90 degrees, a little behind, even. I rotate my camera the exact opposite direction and hold it waiting to dodge the light once my fov lock ended.
Nope. Still got flashed. I just went into a corner and let them have fun doing gens. Opened the gates myself first possible second and returned to my phone. We all probably deranked from that one as it was my first chase of the match and I only interacted with those two. It was the only time I ever rage quit this game. And basically one of the only times I have ever rage quit a game. There was like one other time in 5 years of Overwatch.
After that, I leveled Hillbilly and put the perk on every killer I play if they bring one flashlight.
If they find one in a box and blind me, I will tunnel, camp, slug, whatever, to end them. I do not mind throwing the entire game to do it.
1 -
Yeah and I am tired of constantly getting flashlighted when trophy hunting and it doesn't help that turning off crossplay for ps5 doesn't get me any matches because I think they fked up and made it to where I can't play with PS4 players with it turned off so all I get are the sweaty PC players and rarely any console players

I understand the strategy, but it's insanely frustrating for a killer to play against someone like this. I know I absolutely hate it.
It's zero fun, especially if they are playing Claudette/another 'camo' character and means that both of us get less BP. On certain killers, there is no real way to respond to it and 'hide and seek' becomes very tedious.
I probably wouldn't have raged at you, but I'd certainly be tunneling you to death if I ever saw you again.

I get where you are coming from, but allow me to clarify a few things.
I was playing as Felix with the bright orange ski outfit, so it's not like I went out of my way to be super stealthy in that regard. I was using Fixated and Spine Chill, it's one of my favorite perk combinations. Being able to quickly walk away from a gen you're working on, and doing so with a head start because of Spine Chill, is very powerful. It's how I managed to do gens without being detected.
It's a strategy I like to use sometimes because I'm not always confident in my looping game. I can hold my own in chase about half the times but if I'd rather avoid the killer, if possible. Now, I'm also not the kind of stealth player that simply lets their team die, if I see I'm the only one that hasn't been hooked yet, I'm aware I need to take pressure off my team so I will try to get caught on purpose. That particular game, however, my team was dying so fast at the start I didn't even have time to get myself caught between unhooking.
I understand it can be frustrating for the killer, to know for a fact someone's there but you can't find them and you can't afford to spend time looking for them. We've all been there before. And I would have been completely fine with being tunnelled out of the game, because I've also been there before. When you finally find that pesky stealthy survivor, you don't want to let them out of your sights again.
But being forced out of hiding by slugging the other survivor, not being allowed to be unhooked, the nodding the killer did while I was on hook and seeing the other survivor, whom I knew had done significantly less than I had that game, get hatch... I remember feeling annoyed for a solid thirty minutes after that game.

Probably the ones when I was attempting the "Where Did They Go?" achievement...which has now been replaced by the titanic mountain that is "escape through the hatch with a key". Absolute joke. Anyway, I got it in the end, for my sins, along with all the other trashy trophies. No idea why I put myself through that nonsense.
But in regards to frustrating...this morning the matches were just that. No joy. Just frustration. Survivors with their SWF crap and Killers going full try-hard with Franklins etc despite early match DCs. Just a huge shower of shattery.
I'm having more fun on the One Punch Man game and watching old horror films.
DBD just gets worse. It's a shame, as it's by far got the best character roster in video game history. Oh well. Us hypocritical fools will continue to play despite our gripes.

I didn't get to play it. Spawned in an undercroft in the swamp, moved towards an exit, killer showed up. Complete dead zone, so I got Bubba'd and put on hook for a facecamp, about twenty seconds in. Team genrushes, NOED pops, he slugs for the 4K.
It was an exhibition of the game's biggest flaws.

Great, that doesn't mean they are right. I still stand by my point. I love that your opinion is less valid unless you are a streamer. Oh sorry, a killer streamer. Survivor streamers don't get to have opinions.

My very first match with Freddy's new power was easily the worst DBD match I've ever played, so much so that I don't even like to think it.
The match was on Old Léry's, which always will be my favorite map, but that did little to comfort me. I had just witnessed my absolute favorite killer, the one that really got me into DBD in the first replace, be replaced by the boring mess that new Freddy is.
I was disheartened and everything felt wrong. Seeing your favorite killer disappear right before your eyes is something that Old Freddy mains and Old Billy mains know all too well, and it is one of the worst things you can possibly experience in DBD.
That match was technically a victory... it never felt like one.
1 -
That poor strawman never stood a chance...
Woof. Must confess, haven't tried new Freddy yet (I mostly play Doctor, Hag and Spirit). Trying to enjoy Spirit while I can, as she seems to be on the chopping block now.
Yeah, I mostly play killer and I hate it when a survivor DCs or AFKs. It puts me in an awkward position, as I feel genuinely bad for the remaining survivors and usually try to give them a break - which tends to get me raged at post-game. Of course, I get raged at even harder if I wipe them.
Depending on who I'm playing, what map and which addons I've brought, I'm not above just AFKing against stompcomps. If you want your win so bad - take it. I'll do something else for 20 minutes.

Most frustrating? Of the top of my head, my last match today. Suffocation pit as Ghostface with Forced Penance, Tinkere, No way Out and STBFL. Got 9 hooks and didn't get a 10th cause DH for Distance exists BUT GUESS WHAT BRonze Devout Emblem cause this game is PERFECT!

I've had a few games where the survivors took the match hostage, refusing to touch gens. Those were frustrating.
Recently, I had a match as survivor where there were three of us left and only one gen to do. My friend and I were trying to pressure two different gens, and the third survivor (a Leon) kept making noise and then creeping away, not helping, bringing the killer over and trying to get us killed, because the hatch was nearby. Me and my friend died, and the killer downed Leon, then picked him up and dropped him on the hatch, giving him the free escape he'd tanked the match to get. That was frustrating.

Wraith and Spirit are both M1 killers without their powers. Their powers cloak them from survivor sight until they go on the offensive. Spirit is only stronger than Wraith right now because she can attack out of her ethereal form quickly and nearly immediately. Wraith is worse than Spirit because he can still be seen when moving within 20m of a survivor.
If Spirit gets her cloak nerf then she will be pretty close to Wraith in terms of strength. So Spirit will be more predictable in cloak and also not be able to see survivors, where Wraith is also predictable but can clearly see everyone -- making the fight more fair for Wraith.
Also just want to point out that argument from authority is not the same as the majority argument. Either way, a player is not coming from a place of authority.

I can imagine. Thing is - it's really tricky as a killer to tell the difference between someone who is subtly trolling or just making mistakes. Unless you BM me, I'll usually give the last survivor hatch, especially if it's a shutout.
Eh. Technically, it's complicated. An AFP and an ATA are both very dependent on exactly what is being debated and what conditions have been laid out before. In this case, I don't think it's fallacious to say that when the 'experts' - people who play the game for a living, at a level most of us can only dream about - all share an opinion about something in the game, that it's probably true.
To me, comparing Wraith and Spirit is like comparing Trapper and Hag. Both are thematically similar - traps. But that's where the similarity ends.
0 -
Yeah, it's difficult as killer to tell what's going on, but personally I try to pay attention to who's actually working on gens and who seems to be a non-participant. I look forward to the hatch change. It won't completely fix the problem, but the fewer immersed Claudettes and non-participants I see get the hatch, the better playing survivor will feel. Maybe the Leon would have been useful and worked on gens if he hadn't seen the hatch.
I had a match with an AFKer where the killer took out the rest of us, then the AFKer came back just in time to run away and get the hatch. She ended the match with the most points just for that.
A lot of my frustration when playing survivor comes from the hatch and from survivors farming someone off the hook without BT, especially since my friend and I both run BT and take aggro. When someone else rushes in to make the save, even in the killer's face... Bad teammates are the real killers. Sometimes I wish survivors had weapons and could murder each other, at least that'd be a fun way of killing teammates.
