4 Decisive Strikes, 3 Dead Hards, and 3 Borrowed Times

That's killer for ya shrug

(and honestly, that's survivor for ya too)

Sometimes you just get sweat squads who will do anything they can to win and sometimes you get chill people who are just looking to have fun and play a fun round of DBD

I wouldn't blame the players for running those perks. They're good perks, why wouldn't they run them?

Don't ask for sympathy here. You know what they will tell ya: "you earned that by the way you play. Your MMR wouldn't be that high if you weren't a bloodthirsty sweatlord".

But here is the thing: this door doesn't swing both ways! High MMR games like this as survivors can be helluva fun: you bring your a-game and get some spectacular loops, daring escapes, pull off some amazing stunts and get enough safety nets to let you take some great risks. And if you need a breather you can always hit a gen.

As the killer though, nearly non of this games are fun or exciting and even if you pull of the occasional 4k, the experience probably was a miserable one. You are constantly fighting an uphill battle, have very little opportunity to actually seize the controll of the flow of the game and are always trying to keep a bucket of water from running dry, that was countless holes in it and unless you absolutely sweat it and pull off each and every trick that you know, you will end up broken and humiliated "gg ez", "lol worst killer evar, plz uninstoal" and while their laughter still rings in your ears, the next sweat squad knocks on your door, because thats your reward for playing consistantly good.

But complaints like this will only get you a "so you admit that you only have fun when stomping noobs and baby survivors? tsk." which isn't the case for most killer players that I know. But is there no middle ground with miserable sweat and stomping noobs? Games where you can try to play "by the book" and allow everyone a fun experience without any tunneling or camping or ending the game in 5min?

I don't think its even about swf's. Its just the usual perks you get from the high level survivors. This is from one of my killer matches earlier and its the typical types of builds I always get;

Dead hard, DS, boons, unbreakable, borrowed time, iron will etc. Its standard level stuff in the higher MMR side. You just have to expect it. Its the meta.

They kinda don't know what you will bring before the match.

So they must asume you will bring your "worst" and they will bring theirs.

There is no fun games anymore. Only sweat and tears. 😂

This game was never designed for SWFs in the first place. Because they are on voichat, they don't need any information perks. They basically get information for free, for which Soloqs need perk slots

I can't blame them, for the last few months it's been nothing but campers and tunnelers! So yes, it makes sense that people are going to respond to this behavior with perks that provide some degree of relief. The last two weeks have been especially weird, with killers frequently camping the first hook before anything is done.

It doesn't look that bad actually. Without CoH spreading pressure to the unhooker rather than tunneling the unhooked is a viable strategy with Fredd. 3 guys with BT is kinda wasteful too.

2k 2E isn't a bad number, specially considering that you killed their MVP, which means that you actually won the exchange. I would consider this a win

The number of gens by the end of the match doesn't matter, as long as you get people killed and Devour Hope does that. Lethal Pursuer secures a fast chase start and BBQ keeps the streak going. The intent of that build is to generate stacks fast and end the match before the survivors have time to locate the totems. It's high-risk/amazing rewards and does what's intended to do well.

A build doesn't need to be Ruin/Undying/Tinkerer to be strong, just needs to have undeniable synergy.

I don't know why survivors use Decisive Strike however from what I have seen it is not meta. Most of the time when I see a another survivor have they either never have a chance to use it, fail the skill check or the killer gets them anyways. Their are more effective perks to use to get away from the killer.

The the same can be said for Dead Hard to a lesser extent. You can use it more often that Decisive Strike however it frequently results in being caught anyways.

I either don't see Borrowed Time used that much or just don't notice it so not sure on that one however the other two are a waste of a perk choice.

You got a 2k? I don’t see an issue

If you're close enough that BT is preventing you from getting downs, you're close enough to go for the person who unhooked. Even if they had DS they can't anymore. IF you go for whoever unhooks, you're making 7 perks they brought entirely useless, and your decision to tunnel and your punishment for doing so is 100% on you.

That's a decent build, not a strong one. Yeah, there's some synergy, but it's still super reliant on getting early hooks and snowballing, with DH's almost obligatory requirement to play nice for a while stuck on top. Plus Undying when boons are in play.

You got two kills. Devs say thats balanced.

Unless you play scummy BT and DS make no difference. As for DH, yeah fair enough to be annoyed with that.

They still waste time.
