Any Other Killers Player Tempted To Throw In The Towel Right Now?

No I'm having fun unless it's on Coldwind, then no I'm not. Mostly because EU has decided Boil Over strats aren't worth their time when they could stick to the cold consistent meta.

Nah I'm still having as much fun as usual, and clearly it's more than enough fun because otherwise I'd just do something else.

To answer your question, I think the old saying is “those who dish it out can’t take it”. People who taunt and t-bag and use annoying rapid fire flashlight macros and do tactics like doing the locker flashlight blinds over and over and swarming killers they think are weaker than themselves are also the ones who dc when downed early and call killers trash if they use a perk like NOED or down someone two or three times in a row. Bullies are almost always also sore losers.

I stopped playing killer completely at this point, though don't think that survivor is necessarily a bed of roses if you play solo either. Killers are sweaty as hell and I don't think I have been hard camped and tunnelled out of matches more than I ever have recently.

I get why killers are doing it but it does make the game very unfun on the survivor side plus killers spending most of their match standing in front of hooks is not really a fun game either.

I sometimes wish I could communicate to killers that ultimately I don't care if I don't survive, I want chases until there are no pallets left on the map and then I could care less if they kill me. Not to be camped on first hook and tunnelled out of the game after that...

There has to be a bug with matchmaking that they still haven't identified. I keep getting absolute babies at night and I have 3500 hrs. Those nasty 3k hr SWFs are usually something I handle really well. Those are what I should be getting and I don't understand why it won't match me with them.

If I throw in the towel, it won't be because I'm having a hard time. It'll be because I'm bored out of my mind.

i threw the towel half a year ago and havent regretted that decision ever since.

if a game is not fun for you, you shouldnt be playing it.

there is no point in forcing yourself into it, all that achieves is frustration and annoyance - and at a certain degree it can even be unhealthy for your mental health.

i have had a lot more fun playing online games in the last 6 months than ive had for a very long time with DbD.

but besides all that, you achieve another thing:

direct feedback to the Devs.

there is no clearer way of telling them something sucks than when no one is playing it anymore.

Because if you keep forcing yourself into playing it, the Devs wont really act. We can scream into the void that is this forum for as much as we want, as long as we come back to play the statistics are gonna say "no problem here, we got plenty of players playing", so they wont be very keen on changing things.

so if everyone that doesnt enjoy this game anymore (for whatever reason) drops out and no longer plays it (and provides constructive feedback and critisism (you achieve nothing by being insulting or disrespectful) here on why they quit), the Devs are going to notice a decrease in playernumbers and will start wondering why people are leaving - which is the point time where they will be going on the forum (and other social media ofc) to check for the reasons why their numbers keep going down (and most importantly - act accordingly).

luckily my killer queues are instant all day. Guess it’s different for everyone.

I keep going normally it’s my fault for a loss. A survivor gets boring a lot more quicker

Over 50 games my luck should have evened out... I can admit maybe I can get lucky for 5 games or 10 games even... but if the community is as bad as people say, then then chances of over 50 in a row is EXTREMELY low.

Many people say its more than half... but lets pretend its exactly half. Exactly half of matches people will send toxic insults in the EGC.

Well if that were the case, if it were exactly half, then the odds of 53 games in a row where I did not receive any would be less than 1 in 1 quadrillion. in number form that looks like this 1/1,000,000,000,000,000 again thats the odds if exactly half of matches have at least 1 person being toxic. Yet people claim its higher than half.

Now you are with in your right to say 1% is the limit or 2.5% is the maximum toxicity or maybe you want less than .1% of a community to be toxic... but over 50 matches in a row demonstrably proves it cannot be close to 50% and I can tell you from knowing human nature no community will be 0%

Different region maybe. Because i'm of the camp that MMR has no effect what so ever on match making unless its extremely high or low.

Exactly I've had games where I got no hooks because of the sabo bodyblock right away. Plus your taking my bbq stack away and that's what really makes me mad.

No surrender, no retreat but you don't have to stress yourself out, are still doing the challenge you instated?

I'm not going to throw in the towel per say but I do try to avoid playing at night if I can. even during the day I can see how tough it is on killers.

The amount dead hard I see used in builds is pretty sad. Even if it's not intended to be used this way dead is used as a middle finger to killers. I'm glad they say they're working on it. I don't mind baiting out a dead hard but when is multiple times a match because the consequences for misusing it are nothing. it can get annoying.

and yeah survivor teams play like if they lose then they're really going to die. I feel bad when I play killer sometimes because some of the challenges in the tomes can force you to play like a total ass to get them done. I had to do it to finish the first page today and I gave the last person the hatch because I knew I was playing like a jerk.

I don't care if I lose a game as a killer but I do care when they games aren't even close to fun on either side. If you're sabotaging a hook and you're right in front of me. the weapon shouldn't miss, but it does.

I don't like survivors D/C if they screw up. example I was playing a game where someone was going in for the insta grab not realizing the person I was putting on the hook was dead. they went in. I downed them and they D/C I hope enjoyed the penalty on that one.

To end on a positive note, playing as killers has taught me killer tactics and how to counter them when I play against them as survivor because I know what I would do playing as that killer and I can predict it a little better. Playing both sides is worth it and I understand the frustration of both. No killer likes to be treated like a joke and now survivor likes being tunneled out of a game in 5 minutes or camped to death.

Being honest given that they can't read their own stats to save their lives...

They'd probably just twist low killers numbers into an excuse to nerf kills even more.

I mean just look at the Twins' nerf for a prime example of this:

Where the Twins are played so little that only mains play them and have a good KR with them.

So they are nerfing the Twins constantly as a whole because of the 2 twins mains left in the world are good players not because the Twins themselves are good.

just to play devils advocate here:

the pick rate of a character has very little to do with the actual player numbers.

in theory, the Devs couldnt care less if one specific character is picked a lot or not, as the overall amount of players would remain the same, just distributed differently to the other available characters.

but if people quit the game entirely, that is a very different story - because now they are actively losing players and therefore losing revenue, so they will want to do something to avoid that.

Same here, at day time or at night, the queue times are completely instant, at least here in NA.
