I'm just curious tbh, I will go first.

3 of my last 6 lobbies tonight have been confirmed by the Survivors and me as the Killer, as being hacked.

Killers in my experience tend to hack less but this is purely personal experience, it may be the other way round for some of you.

So now I am playing Survivor because I want to play a normal game of DBD.

How about you?

    I'm not even playing the game. I might come back during the sadako chapter if they do more changes in it but otherwise nah.

    To avoid burn-out/frustration I only play a few killer games at a time or play a bunch of games purely to do archive challenges

    cause the game is uninstalled, other then that though I just got bored and frustrated with killer and I never enjoyed survivor much to begin with and only played it if friends wanted to play with me. Most of my friends stopped playing the game a long time ago though because of how stupid the grind is.

    Played a little bit of Billy yesterday, but I've been on other games cause my favorite killer is disabled.

    Because I literally ran out of killer challenges and to prefarm p3 Sadako, I literally HAVE to play survivor and I am not going to lie. It is killing my vibes, bro. I miss playing killer and still do it for the daily. But I cannot bring myself to do it more when I am getting zero bloodpoints.

    When I first started playing I was encountering way more hacking killers than survivors. Bubbas teleporting all 4 of us in front of him and chainsawing us all.

    Now I do find a lot more hacking survivors. And they are mostly subtle about it until they are going to be downed and then start meme hacking.

    I still prefer to play killer these days. Mostly more chill and dont get tilted when my teammates are hiding in corners/basement while I've been running the killer for 6 mins and no gens get done.

    To avoid frustration and/or burnout, I only play a little bit of DBD every day. I play killer during the day because survivor teams are more bearable then.

    Because I'm a survivor main...

    I have yet to play killer for maybe more than a couple hours across all my time of playing DBD.

    Just don't like it.

    I'm still playing killer. I play when I get a new daily mission each night to do that, maybe another game or two if that only took a game. That's how I've played since I started.

    I can play for a lil bit but I find killer and survivor to be generally boring and tedious a good chunk of the time.

    I don't have much time to play right now. But when I do, I either face those unbeatable teams or I think I'm facing one from the beginning of the match, and I sweat and get stressed out, only to find that it was a beatable team. You have to assume you're going against the best, because randomly you could actually go against them and not stand a chance, and that feels horrible. Why, as the killer, am I the one on edge?

    Bored mainly. Years of the same old thing with 0 real changes. It gets boring

    I've been retired from Killer and Solo Q since I made that post.


    I played a few customs cuz my friends wanted to practice against Nemesis, but I don't think that counts right?

    I played killer about 50/50 with survivor till about a year ago. I don't play it anywhere near as much now.

    I like to talk while playing multiplayer games, otherwise I'd rather just play a single player game. It's why I don't play a lot of solo q either.

    Killer isnt as fun to play as survivor imo plus survivor builds offer a lot more variety

    Playing killer is stressful and unfun during peak times when you’re going to get matched against SWF on comms in most matches. It’s not a level playing field.

    Playing in SWF is far more relaxing and enjoyable because it’s easy mode against killers unless they’re really good.

    I keep getting booted from the game when I'm in PC with a friend and now my penalty is now at 25 minutes I have to wait till it resets or something before I can play.

    By resetting I mean still my timer goes back to 2 or 3 minutes

    Because when the gates open it bores me walking around. I refuse to go near the exit gates to give survivors pleasure of just teabagging and then leave when Im about to hit them. That's literally 4 minutes waste of my life just standing in the middle of the map.

    Burnout from grinding bloodpoints.

    I got new games to play so I'm definitely taking a break.
