i am starting to lose my ######### sanity

The topics you make contradict themselves an hour before this one you said ruin and scourge hook is the only slowdown you need now you're begging for nerfs. Stop posting crap.

Well, this game is not for you.

Level up some survivors from lvl 1 and try to have fun there with friends because solo survivors is worse than killer.

Yeah, I stopped playing over a month ago and have honestly been doing better, mentally speaking. Playing killer just got so boring and predictable because survivors just pick one playstyle and that's it, that is nearly every single game.

Switching to survivor just got awful real fast with all of the constant camping. Camping close to end game is understandable, but killers just camping every hook that they can get is just terrible. With the recent boon totems and survivors all realizing how broken med-kits and fast healing is it really has pushed them towards this angle.

Take my advice and just stop playing for a while. I know this game is fun and I like it, but with how static the gameplay is and over competitive it makes everyone it just isn't worth it.

The extreme toxicity and steady increase in hackers I have encountered just made me realize enough was enough.

The bullying continues in this thread :D

Best thing I've found to do with this game is to just skip to the last stage of grief and accept that the game is unbalanced and dogshit, I sparingly run gen regression on most killers nowadays in favour of more fun perks, it's alot easier to deal with a loss when you've got basically no gen regression perks.

If the gens are slow enough to handle, then you can have some fun and win. If they're going too fast to manage, then damn, start playing for points and maybe try to get some cool plays. At the end of the day, you either played well and won, or it was out of your hands and there was nothing you could possibly do, such is the way of the killer main.

Honestly, if you like the look of it, sign up for VHS beta. It’s different from DBD but it’s a vastly superior asymmetrical pvp game from a design and balance standpoint. The devs genuinely seem to care and have really thought everything through from the ground up. It’s also free to play and barely even has a grind, unlike DBD. The skins are cool too plus you have fun emotes like the thriller dance for werewolf.

BHVR does not care about killers, point in case the only time flashlights got nerfed is when Matt got publicly humiliated by them. survivors bring money as long as said money continues killers can suck it.

Well, each to their own. I’d say though, it’s difficult to be bullied in VHS because of how the game is designed. From the ground up, the devs have designed and balanced it to prevent bullying.

For example as a killer, if you hit one survivor, everyone nearby has their weapons locked for a few seconds, forcing them to run away and providing you with great pressure. I think this also resets any damage you’ve taken in the last x seconds.

You also have tools to avoid damage altogether, like Wart’s shield which absorbs weapon damage, or the werewolves howl which disables all weapons in an AoE.

There’s more to it than that but generally speaking, if you lose in VHS it’s not to some bully squad or unfair mechanic, but because of a mistake you made, that you can easily identify and say to yourself, ahhhhh that’s why I lost, ok I’ll do it differently this time.

The game really is extremely fair and balanced with much competitive potential.

EDIT: As to the devs, it’s early days but they seem to listen to the community and have already made changes based on feedback. I think the above shows they actually care about core issues with their game and dedicate resources to addressing said issues.

They also play obsessively and are some of the best players with thousands of hours, so they understand the ins and outs better than most, unlike the devs in DBD for example who play casually at a low level, making them rely on misleading data instead of objective reality.

Don't bother defending gens anymore. Just delay, delay, delay. The meta right now is Corrupt/Deadlock/No Way Out. On my Demogorgon I have that plus Remember Me, and those games have been just as stressful, but I get better results on average, because the survivors' second chance perks can only save them so many times. And then they've got to go through the gates as 1 or 2 of them are dead (hopefully) and you might get 1 or 2 more kills.

Whilst I wouldn't say I'm personally "losing my sanity" over DBD, I agree playing it as killer is (and has been for a good while) a rather stressful experience.

Yesterday I popped on to do 3 daily challenges, all killer.

My word...every match...trolls, loopers, clickers, blockers...all with full knowledge of all the annoying tricks and the usual perks (Dead Hard, Adrenaline, Borrowed Time, Circle Of Healing etc).

It was just horrible. Made me want to just turn off.

Then I played as survivor with a couple of people I know...and it was great fun. And I say that as someone who didn't and who's team didn't torment the killer. We just played and didn't antagonize.

The main issue is that these days the killer role does not feel powerful or threatening. The survivors can band together and bully the killer with an organised battle plan. It's just toxic. It's a high percentage of the players that are absolutely ruining this game.

This needs to change.

Yep.

Don't get me wrong, I used to play mostly Killer.

I've been playing mostly Solo and Duo Q Survivor the last few months.
