Your DbD Confessions:

I hate DH as a killer but keep using it as a survivor because its just too good not to.

I never used purple or iridescent add ons on killers even though I have them plenty. Only time I use them was getting Evil incarnate

I dont use any add ons on Blight in hopes I master him before I start using them. Several months later I still play Blight add on less even though I should finally try them out

I buy and level up many characters I never play just to collect all perks in the game

• I started putting points in Legion and getting prestige on them despite only having 1 or 2 games with them and playing mainly survivor. I just loved their aesthetic.
• There is no map I hate more then the Swamp
• I have a kind of strange quirk as a killer. When chasing someone who tries to spin around or juke me, I swiftly move my camera from right to left and back multiple times everytime Im in a hitting range. Its so I can confuse the hell out of them and make my hits unpredictable. It actually works pretty well.
• When I play against a streamer I actually try to kill them last in hopes they are streaming right now and I get to watch my match afterwards.

I love the Swamp on both sides. Even when it was the large size prior to the rework(s), it has always been my favorite Realm.

Love the new wiggle mechanic. Feels more interactive and achieveable even though it's the same timer.

I like playing against Nurses. I get a real feelsgoodman vibe when I can juke them, and I feel good for the players who master the Nurse and utterly wipe me across the map. Win/win.

I miss Billy. He was the only Killer that could give me the chills when I heard that chainsaw revving at the start of a match. Now, he's a pale shadow of his former self, and no one ever runs him.

My few confessions:

• I really enjoy playing RPD. I prefer the more complex and larger layout which allows different types of survival/chase techniques. Both as killer and survivor, I like the challenge of a map that's way more than space > jungle gym > space > jungle gym. That design bores me after a while.

• I've always liked Midwich, and feel it's a far deeper map to negotiate. Again, a decent change over the usual fare a lot of maps have. Also, the attention to detail is great.

• For me, the meta is not so meta. It's more that those perks give more instant feedback. Some of the perks that have a more passive effect are great, but never really noticed.

• Meta =/= best build for me. It's how you use perks, skillful play, intelligent decisions and experience which matters.

• I play each character as I would imagibe they would be in game. Makes the experience far more fun.

• I cannot 360 for #########. Thank God I can negotiate obstacles, but when there's nothing the only thing that will save me is a mistake by the killer - and a real bad one.

• When I play with a male character I feel judged more decisively.

• I really hate the sound effect of the blood splash. It's like nails on chalkboard in my ears.

• Playing Killer and not catching anyone in chase makes me feel self-pity.

• I never use a flashlight and probably never going to.

• My favorite spot in the game is the little circus at Crotus Prenn Asylum. I always go there when I'm the last survivor alive; the horse and the music pretty much comfort me.

• I have an unexplained crush to the fictional character, Leon. I always dodge a lobby if I play Killer and He is there.

• I'm never going for risky saves or a body block because I'm scared of the Killer.

• The reason I play Survivor a lot is because of my over-empathy and because I want friends...

1. Gearhead was my main tracking perk before the nerf
2. Autodidact is my go to healing perk (######### COH)
3. I have not played half the killers I have bought. Not even 1 match (PH, Artist, Legion etc)

1. I use Autodidact sometimes. Even though I know it sucks and it has on occasion gotten my team killed due to a loss of healing progress.
2. I still have 41 anniversary cakes on Wraith.
3. I have 1300 hours and haven't learned how to flashlight save. I also can't 360 hardly at all and I still get spun sometimes (although I've gotten better at this lately).
4. Over those 1300 hours I have never prestiged any character since I feel like it's not really worth it.
5. I almost never use purple or iri addons on killers with very limited exceptions.
6. I almost never use dead hard as survivor. I know it's good but I hate it so much that I'd be a hypocrite for using it in more than 2% of my matches. It's probably even less than that.
7. Bubba is one of my favorite killers when they don't facecamp. I play him a lot too.

-I'll tunnel the weakest looper/survivor if I'm playing a regular M1 killer like Trapper, Wraith, etc.

-I always 4k when possible until I hit Iridescent 1, then one survivor is allowed the hatch every so often

-My steam profile has 4 pages of "-rep" comments since I started playing this game as mostly Killer two months ago, I take pride in those comments

-As a Killer main, playing survivor is a lot of fun, but only when friends, I have never solo Q'd survivor and will never solo Q a team-based role

-I face camped a lot when starting this game (especially with Trickster) as teams were too altruistic, leading to easy 3k or 4ks, I do this less now that I've gotten better and use other mobile killers like Nurse, Blight, etc.

-Bubba is the only Licensed Killer I've bought, the rest have been bought with Iridescent shards, still need Deathslinger, Hag, Spirit and others

• I’m a terrible shot, Huntress and Deathslinger are easily my worst characters aside from Nurse who I actively don’t play. (Trickster is a little more forgiving.)
• I still get juked all the time. I’ve gotten a bit better more recently at knowing when to not just hold forward as someone is about to juke so I can track them but good dodgers still give me trouble.
• I can’t be bothered trying to memorize optimal pathing on tiles so I’m sure I run a bunch of them incorrectly. If I’m running the shack in the wrong direction it’s pretty bad against a survivor who knows how to run it correctly
• I’m positive I have a blind spot for people in bushes. I literally can be actively staring at them and not see them. Sometimes I’ll swing into a bush on pure instinct and get a hit and be like “oh, ok, so they were there, still don’t see them though.”
• I don’t have the patience to play enough games to get to Iri grades. I do a mission a night, maybe an extra game or two, that’s about it. I’m sure if I played a lot more games I’d do it but once you get into the high silver and gold ranks it starts taking longer since it needs a couple more pips and you tend to only get 1 pip on a 3 kill. (And I don’t care enough about pips to slug the third person all night just to increase my chances of getting a 4 kill. I just hook the third and if the last person beats me to hatch good for them.)

At 7k hours I had to hide my playtime on Steam because teammates would expect me to give the killer vertigo with my looping skills but really I'm just too lazy chill to try hard.

If somebody brings a coin offering, I 99% every chest I find for them.

I like to play Ghostface as stalki as it can be and never really participate in a chase if the surv isn't marked. If you see me and run I just look for another target

Unless I'm running aura reading perks I'd rather go to Haddonfield then the Swamp

If a survivor asks for mercy I always give it

When I get tbagged at a pallet, I like camping and tunneling that person out. After tunneling them out, I let the remaining three survivors farm BP off of me and hope the tbagger is spectating

As solo survivor, if I want to pip up in red grades I use map offerings a lot

Also, if I care about pipping up in red grades as solo survivor I 99 gens. It makes pipping up easier

I'd escape a lot more though if I didn't try to save everyone as much as I do

-- I started playing this game when COVID-19 shut my workplace down. I had NEVER played an online video game before, so DBD was my first. I had watched other people play it on YT, but that was the extent.

-- I am definitely one of the oldest people who plays the game. Without revealing my actual age, let's just say that the huge majority of people I play against, I'm old enough to be their parent (or in some case, grandparent)

-- I had no concept of why anyone who purchase cosmetics for a character when I started playing. I convinced a friend to play with me initially, and my exact words to him at the time was, "Why would anyone waste money to look different? It's not changing how the game plays!". This was coming from someone who now has bought cosmetics on pretty much every survivor and killer in the game, and multiples on almost all of those. So much for what I thought then, lol. I also have never used Shards for outfits.

-- I have the least experience, and I'm the least capable, playing the "S-tier" killers. I'm still a baby Nurse (I play on console, FWIW), I almost never play Blight, and I rarely play Spirit. That said, I never had any incentive for the achievements, until the friend mentioned above gave me good-natured grief over not having any Adepts. Now, I proudly have all of the Killer Adepts (and nearly all of the trophies).

-- I can be ultra-competitive, but when I play killer, I give a LOT of hatches or doors, and I'm always willing to farm as Pig when someone Boops the Snoot. I can alternate from ruthless to embracing a meme literally in the same match at times.

-- I have no idea if I'm actually good at the game or not, half the time. My survivor skill has definitely improved, but I'm capable of really bad plays at times. As killer, I get spun far too often, and I mix in really great plays with completely potato ones literally in the span of seconds of the same match. I have really good game sense, but my eyesight and hearing aren't always the best. My results as killer and survivor are normally really good, but what does any of that mean? I'm somewhere in that great expanse of "total noob" and "Otz-level" player that the vast majority of people are in, I guess.

-- I refuse to bring in flashlights as survivor, simply because I can't use them to save my (or anyone else's) life. I rarely bring items at all into a match (unless it's part of a daily or Rift challenge), and I'm a hoarder/collector -- I've made sure that every survivor has at least one of a item/offering that's part of an event.

• 1) I have DC'd 1 time
• 2) I had this game gifted to me by a friend... that I no longer play with
• 3) I play a lot more Killer then Survivor... but started out playing a SWF Duo
• 4) I haven't been able to play for about a month... and I miss it already

- I hate going against Dead Hard, but I still use it on survivor.

- I don't play half of the survivors I own (Ash, Ace, Felix, etc.)

- I sometimes still kill survivors that have booped the snoot.

- I'm decent as Huntress, but I suck at every other ranged killer (Excluding Plague and Artist if you want to count them)
