Killer is so boring to play now
I only started playing the game at the start of the Resident Evil chapter and it used to be so much fun playing killer, the hit and run play style, hooking each survivor one by one and overall playing a “fair match”
that’s now almost impossible with Boon totems, survivors can now reset so fast with COH and lose you so often in chase with Shadow Step (even more so if paired with Iron Will and on an indoor map) that almost no time is lost for them and they can get back to repairing gens so quickly, there’s hardly any pressure from the killer anymore.
the only way around this is to just relentlessly tunnel one survivor out of the match every single game so you’ve some chance of winning, and it’s just so boring to do
my killer games every day now go like this
- I try and “play nice” and have a fair match
- 4 man escape with teabagging at gate
- I try again with a different build
- 4 man escape with teabagging at gate
- I resort to tunnelling and proxy camping
- 2, 3 or even 4 kills
do the devs really think this is healthy for the game, playing killer is getting less and less fun and more frustrating with each update
hopefully once VHS comes out DBD will have some competition and the devs will address killer balancing or risk losing all their killer mains to it

Coming from someone who has been playing for years, the totems havent changed much. You just got better mmr and are now playing against people who are slightly more capable of playing the game.

Wouldn't it be nice if killers got a little speed boost after hooking a survivor, to encourage them to go after somebody else instead of sitting on the hook? Or survivors who haven't been hooked yet getting a speed debuff, to encourage the killer to go after fresh targets instead of pursing the faster, more vulnerable survivor?
Survivors get camped and tunneled less, killers don't get looped by the best person on the other team for the whole game. Little changes to make the game more fun for both sides.

Sorry to say, but this means it's time to adapt.
Whatever you're doing is clearly not working. Simply changing perks will not cut anymore. Practice loops, chases with a friend and learn to not walk in a straight line (to prevent Spine Chill) as a start. I had my share of slumps as killer, but after practicing more and more, I was able to be better and win more, ultimately.
This applies to survivors too.
P.S. Boons are not as bad as people think.

I hope that VHS could move Behaviour desks and schemes a little too. They really need a solid competition and a tone down of their massive ego because they just ignore balance and optimizations issues within the game.

Yes they are, before survivors had to bring medkits to heal themselves and they only had limited use, after the charges were gone you had to rely on a teammate to heal you and time spent healing is time not on generators, or you could bring Self Care and heal at 50% speed
now with Boons you can heal yourself an unlimited number of times at 100% speed, meaning teammates can now stay on gens, the hit and run play style is dead, slugging is now infinity harder due to the ridiculously fast heals, survivors can just fully reset so fast now that the best way to counter this is to make the game a 1v3 as soon as possible

You're playing a game where murderers and psychopaths run around trying to slaughter people and you're talking about a "fair game". Did you make up the rules to a fair game in your mind?

Yes, if you truly "play nice" but you don't know what to use with each killer you will constantly lose every match, the game is not that easy and the MMR is ok for new killers and survivors, I got better at looping with survivor.
only three months to learn all the content the game has is impossible without videos.
And I don't know why but a lot of new people have been complaining and they proposed changes.

I agree. Boons have broken the game for killers. 2 year killer main here.

Boons are honestly old MoM levels of annoying for me.
Why can you reuse them multiple times?
Why are they 24m and let everyone use them?
Why is CoH 100% lmao?
Right now boons are so strong and braindead. Just hold w across the map to a boon and heal up.

This is why I play No Way Out and NOED.
If I am stomping, I'll ease up and let the survivors farm. I dont just want a 4k, I want all of us to get BP and at least do something that match.
But if you tell me you're only interested in 1250 x 5 BP, then I'll activate my fail safes

Look the reason why you get 2,3, even 4 kills while tunneling/camping is because the survivors let you. You keep doing the same strat again and again and it wont take long for the survs to use that method against you. And then you may get a max of 2 kills only if not less.
If you are up against 4 solo survs who know what you are doing, they will simply gen rush while the guy on the hook can use his kindred perk to let others know of the great camper you are.
In short, survs are like cockroaches. They will always figure out a way to survive. :)

That's how i've been playing since sbmm, back then i would just use meme builds and get decent results, now i have to use max tryharding builds and playstyle to get a chance. Would be fine if at least there was public mmr...
