This game is horrible for new killers
If you trying to learn killer, this game will be a horrible experience, the matchmaking system keeps facing you against experienced servivors who just love to bully new players. As survivor you at least get to play with other survivors with experience, see what they do, learn and they can help you. But as killer, you are on your own and is just a horrible experience, the game in impossible to enjoy, and it just makes you not wanna play at all.

The same can be said for survivors. The new player experience is just awful in general.

Killer much more so.

You're not alone

Speaking of that, kinda upset that bhvr gave them demogorgon, new people can't get demo/steve/nancy but since they are well known streamers they got them for free according to the streamers from bhvr.

Game is horrible in general, because matchmaking is trash. Just had 9 solo q matches and not a single escape. I guess I'll come back in another 3 months. Maybe they can eventually manage to hire competent dev able to create working SBMM.

The difference is that this game matchmaking system is suppose to match you against people with a similar level skill, that is not happening

Not as bad as being new killer

I bought my brother DBD and his very first match as survivor got him facing a completely CRACKED Huntress. Like Umbra/Coconut lvl. I just sat there and watched him being completely obliterated.
First killer match ended before he even figured out movement and got to the 1st gen. Ofc he got completely BMed at the gate, cuz that's what full swf red ranks do. (it was all quite a long time ago, during old ranks, but it still matters imo)
Like how new players are supposed to learn.
Idk, just add gamemodes vs bots that's not only a tutorial (which is a garbage). And DON'T introduce Trapper as a tutorial killer? Don't mark him as easy, when he's clearly not.
I get that he's the face of DBD, but he's not a noob-friendly killer.

Just don't play killer in the evening.

And in the morning, evening, dawn, dusk, etc...

Agree totally

Why not on evening? Also your evening might not be my evening, we might be in different countries

The game is arguably even worse for new Survivors.
Just a rather poor new player experience

well yes, but actually no. in the beginning you don't know what looping is, and the newcomers will treat dbd like a true horror game (hiding almost all the time, especially when they hear the terror radius and actually have a genuine fear for the killer), they won't care in the slightiest to being camped/tunneled for that reason, they'll just move on to the next match... while as killer if you are going aganist other newcomers you'll feel like a true killer in a horror game, but once survivor will start to learn the mechanics of the game your matches as killer will be MISERABLE (a friend of mine who started to play dbd experienced this on his skin)

The new player experience is terrible for both sides. Honestly not sure which side it’s worse for but it really doesn’t matter, it sucks for everyone either way.
The tutorials are okay for barely getting started, but nothing more than that.
When I was new, I slowly learned the more basic mechanics of the game, but I couldn’t learn chases at all on my own. I remember when I thought a TL was an infinite because I didn’t know how to run it correctly as killer and I got so frustrated. I couldn’t figure out looping or how to run tiles as either side properly and had to watch a ton of videos to even get started.

Yeah, even an average Huntress is way too much for a beginner. (Usually the first hit from the other side of the map saps their will to play)
Get this : as a relatively experienced Nurse main (~2.5k hours), I've been matched against single-hour digit survivors. Try to wrap your mind around that.

Here's a screencap from 2018, I assume this was my first match as Trapper after waiting close to half an hour to get into a lobby back then.
Definitely not a fun experience. Queue times at least have gotten better since then.

You're forgetting queue times. If I'm a new survivor how fun is it to wait 10+ min for a game just to be tunneled and camped by a much more experienced killer. Would you play a game where you only had 1 minute of play time every 15 minutes?

these guys never played fighting game

With a game this old it is hard to avoid experienced players. I would make getting BBQ on all the killers you play the first priority and only use killers who have the perk. Killer is not worth the work without it. I focus on blood points and do not care so much about match results. I spread the pain and try to give everyone a good game.
If they can get out before I sacrifice them all I do not take it personally because I know each match is a unique set of perks, items, add-ons, player skill levels, and map iterations. Hide your red light, do not take their bait, and walk fearlessly through pallets. Try to have fun!
