Feel like I'm on a completely different test to others... any killers struggling?

Everyone keeps saying how well balanced it is for both sides while I'm not getting that experience at all.

When I'm playing killer, doesnt matter who (weak or strong) I'm versing stacked survivors, multiple items with good addons everyone with meta perks (DH,UB,DS,COH) being the most common with arguably survivor sided maps.

Most of these games have just been so stressful and unfun it makes me want to avoid killer even more then before.

Are any of killers out there getting this? Especially the vet players who have everything down? Never had such depressing games in years, certainly not a way to get me to play killer.

Whenever I play survivor we're stomping on the killer too, I'm a solo and most killers get barely any hooks unless it's a nurse/blight and even then they struggle to secure a single kill unless they hard tunnel 1 person...

These games just haven't been fun either side, especially killer but I dont see many having these issues?

    Even the last test, I'm versing stacked survivors as my weakest killer while when playing survivor my team have 0 meta perks and we're against good nurses with meta builds.

    I dont get why a good nurse (she was on point with her blinks) gets so many casual players not running meta but me playing weaker killers verse the top level players...

    PLEASE tell me I'm not the only one having the worst time on killer? I'm not even exaggerating here this experience is awful...

    I'd say I'd just stick to survivor but that's either a nurse/blight trying their best (which is fine) but gets boring versing the same killers or it's another killer and the games over before I know it and they get so few hooks...

    Theses tests have just been antifun tests to me, as either role.

    I seem to be getting nothing but bully squads or baby squads. But the bully squads must be new because they haven't been very good at bullying (hope you four who switched to flashlights at the last second and just looped killer shack so I couldn't pick anyone up enjoyed "lie on the floor simulator" last night).

    New MMR must think I suck cause my opponents seem to have no idea what they're doing.

    The games have been very easy on killer outside of day 3. Day 3 were the hardest games I've had in recent memory.

    Day 1 and 5 of the MMR test were absolutely terrible. I got nothing but sweat squads or sabo squads. It was insane. I'm not even a good killer why tf am I getting paired with them lol

    Day 3 and 4 I wish they'd bring back. They were the most balanced days imo on killer side.

    Outside of the test MMR is just ... pain. One game I'll get a coordinated swf that kicks my ass and the next game I get baby survivors whom I feel too bad to kill at 5 gens.

    I have no idea why you guys are getting easy games while I'm getting the hardest games iv ever had since release.

    I'm use to pretty sweaty games but this is something else and I have no idea why I seem to be the outcast in this matter, but it's weird because survivor is also super easy for me.

    Maybe it's my server or time but there has to be a reason why no matter the role I play the survivors are destroying killers

    Today was one of my worst days in DbD since playing, and I am a day 1 player from June 2016.


    I played killer nonstop for 3 hours now and EVERY SINGLE ONE of my matches was 5 gens done in 5 to 6 minutes even with genstopper builds and pushing survivors away regularly with Tinkerer + Ruin. Survivors always nearby for flashlight or pallet stun whenever I pick someone up. Body block conga line etc etc

    Could definitely be a region/time of day thing. FWIW, I typically play peak evening hours on NA East. I definitely want to know what was changed on which day. I feel like that will answer a lot of questions

    Ah see I'm EU off peak, I do miss times where EU & NA could match. Tbh that would probably help mmr and queue time as well.

    Every other game let's me match with others so it's odd DBD limits us

    Day 2 and 3 was terrible for me, i hated. Day 1 was easy, day 4 not bad. I loved Day 5, games felt fair.


    I was playing with my mains btw.

    Ping and net code. DbD gameplay really falls apart above 70 ping, especially when you factor in crossplay. It can be a difference of 4 or 5 meters in game when you get above 150ms. NA West to EU is hilarious to watch. Extremely spicy hits.

    NA gets decently tough off-peak on the weekends. But there's basically no matchmaking during the week from what I can tell. 50% chance the killer I go against even has a full load out, and I don't remember that last time the gens got done against my Nurse during the week outside of the day 3 test.

    The only people who say it is well balanced for both sides are survivor mains and killer mains who would lose all credibility if they dared upload one of their matches... It is HEAVILY survivor sided at the top, fam. Completely normal.

    My games are simply very swingy. If I have the temerity to 4k a couple of times then I'm vs. full TTV seal team lobbies. If I just go for hooks and no kills then I play vs. Claudes and Dwights trying to meld into trees. A happy medium simply does not happen without careful manipulation on my part which is extremely tedious.

    No, same here.

    Very ranged games. Played with new teammates against god killers. Then with good teammates against new killers.

    When i play killer i get some bully squads and god loopers or some clearly below my level players.

    The balanced matches only happen rarely in between.

    Oh cant say iv had a bad experience like that, being the times I play alot of my friends arent actually in my country so when iv done a duo before my ping was 100odd but wasnt too bad, just had to do things a little earlier but wasnt too hectic

    Guessing servers and time has a massive impact on games and mmr
