I used to like playing killer but now I play survivor almost exclusively outside of rituals

When I first got the game in August for ps4, I really enjoyed playing killer. I liked the mind games and the power I had, it was also so relaxing because I felt like I had the control. 

Suffice it to say, none of that is true anymore and killer is a grind and it’s stressful...maybe I’m just bad but I’m pretty sure being the killer shouldn’t be stressful and the survivors shouldn’t blatantly toy with you so flagrantly. 

Anyways my REAL beef with going killer is the fact that I always seem to catch the sweat with friends group who deliberately want to screw with you (one time it was too late before I saw one group had that pedo streamer) and drag out the game even when it’s over and the guy won’t just leave. 

It feels rare that I get groups of solos or just plain regular swf who aren’t sweaty try hard dipsticks. And the kicker is when I play survivor, yeah I’ll get grouped with selfish or sabotaging swf but most of the time it’s just regular people like me. And at least with survivor, you’re down and out and you can go to a new game. 

I just wish killer was more enjoyable and less of a stress mess.

    I still play both sides fairly evenly, but I know what you mean.

    SWFs are becoming more common, and less and less fun to vs. 
    They often don't want to play, they just want to win, and they're usually smurfing one way or another.

    I like both sides the same.

    I play both, kind of evenly, though I have also been playing Survivor more than Killer recently.

    Mainly because I have anxiety/personal issues when it comes to playing alone against 4 other players and getting a little stressed because I over think things and get down on myself easily in this situation.

    But when I go in just for fun I really enjoy it, and I'm starting to get more comfortable with screwing up and accepting that so long as I have fun it doesn't matter what the 4 survivors think.

    I generally only play killer during events and bloodpoint week(ends) but otherwise its primarily survivor for me.
    It's just too stressful for me to play "for fun".

    Can kinda relate except I would have more anxiety playing survivor than I would killer but my last few games I lost which I just had to swallow as survivors teabagged, lead me to being teabagged as I attempted to afk in the basement as there was no way I was going to win this one coulda swore one survivor was there my last two games who let me down him for a few extra points which props to that is all I can say

    I play both, but i used to prefer killer over survivor. Now that I'm high rank in both, killer is way more stressful than it is playing survivor. I'm not complaining but being pallet looped by good survivors can be so tiring.

    I find killer fun to play... when you dont run into the SWF bullying groups. That drives me effing insane. I've had an entire day of groups like that today, and just really turned me off. I think I'll stick to survivor for awhile.

    I'm very much like you. I always have to be in the right mood to play killer. Facing good organized survivors is sometimes still difficult for me, but I will get there.
