How To Play Average Killer Games And Not A lot Of Sweaty Games As killer (IMO)

Yeah, I recorded 200 games and analyzed the data, more than 90% of the time the killer is the high scorer. The killer has all the power in a game and determines what the scores will be. In Sweaty games usually the killer gets 10k-20k more than the highest scoring survivor. I like your play style idea because it creates the opportunity for fun instead of sweat. Also it is good time management, doing gens and going for saves, playing the game like the developers say it is supposed to be played, guarantees a lower score for survivors. If you just concentrate on unhooking and looping the killer you will get more points in a shorter period of time. There are major flaws with the game balance, but the developers don't bother with that stuff, they will do the bandaid approach and release a perk or a buff, but never fix the basic balance of the game mechanics.

Many games I do this now then lose some. I call it playing with my food.

I have started playing Wraith more, hooking my first survivor and then leaving and going over the other side of the map and letting them unhook. If they seem lie they are not great then the game plays like this and I get high BP. If they look better then I play different or just do the same and let them escape. My MMR goes up and down, but I enjoy the game better and don't get teams with 4 flashlights that, as somebody else said, are like a seal team.

The Peter Principle is the fact people will rise to one level above their level of competence. That is you will be promoted until you reach a position where you can not satisfactorily perform the task. I can bench 200 pounds so I add 10 pounds of weight. I can't bench 210 pounds, my competency was 200 pounds. MMR promotes you until you can't perform well enough to advance and leaves you there, you have surpassed your ability to perform. That means every game is past your level of competency, but you will still be asked to perform which means you will be exerting maximum effort every time you play because you are past your ability to play competently.

With DBD this has as much to do with skill as with the limits of the internet, lag is still the number one dbd killer. Sweaty games are no fun because you are always exerting maximum effort with minimum rewards. Occasionally matchmaking will just throw you in game to fill a spot, ignoring MMR. I played against 3 red rank 1 killers in a row, next game I had three players including killer who had just started that day.

I think most players play to have fun, but there is a breed of killers who love OP builds, camping, slugging, and tunneling, they don't want everyone to have fun, they just want a 4k and do not care about other players' experiences. These folks create sweaty games.

To your point of "not trying," It isn't we aren't trying, but we are trying to have fun. We are trying to manage our play time for the most points while still being mindful there are other real people you are playing with. In chats the most common remark of sweaty killers is "I don't care," that is they play selfishly and do not care if anyone else has fun, they only care about the 4k. Winning for them is not about playing fair or how others feel. DBD amplifies toxicity in players.

I agree to an extent. I don't get not trying to win but I also keep in mind that learning and having fun is also important. Oh, and I don't give a damn if the survivors hate how I play or not.
