Killers tell me whats wrong with the game from your perspective?

"Is it possible a killer can gain too much of an advantage due to a map"

The only killer thats ever gotten a buff from a map, as in straight up linear buff, has been Nemesis. And even thats a stretch considering its pretty much random as to if a zombie will cover a hallway. As for the rest of the roster, high mobility killers ignore maps, doesn't matter to them, they can get from point A to point B with the quickness. But say I'm clown or trapper or Doc, I gotta do all the same things I did before, and the only times a map has an effect on my performance is when its in the negative, because the map is huge, or has some ungodly path for stairs, etc. These maps are not designed with killers in mind or else characters like Huntress wouldn't scream under their breath at the sight of an indoor map with tons of walls and LOS blockers. They don't even make modifications to killer powers to accommodate for those scenarios, the only killer with a bouncing projectile to even make situations like that bearable is the Kpop guy, and that costs and add on slot.

The constant battle of me not wanting to lose or get bullied and running meta perks but then making the game unfun for survivors when I run what I do. I can't feel good about winning when it's stomp after stomp, yet if I try running what I want that's fun, I cant keep with 16 meta perks. It's just poor game balance, something I hope is a little better after this update.

1 Killer vs 4 Survivors and 5 Gens.

You chase and hook 1 Survivor, 3 are on 3 different Gens and get popped after getting your first hook, leaving only 2 Gens and still there are 4 Survivors left in a 2 Gen map...

Do you see the problem? The ratio of Survivors and Gens combined with the ratio needed to hook a survivor for a sacrifice?

Rank 👏 means 👏 nothing

Full time killer main here for 3.5k hours on xbox, changed to pc to play another 2.2k hours in about 40/60 ratio. So here are my thoughts:

Matchmaking doesn't exist, we all know that. Especially the "separate mmr on different killers". If MMR exists, why I'm getting lobbies full of people under 100h that don't know how to hit a skill check. And my absolute newbie of a brother faces 14+k hour sweatiest swf? Do you use games like that to "balance" the ratio of kills and escapes? Jokes on you, I'll never take advantage of the weaker survivors. Easy 4k isn't a win. I'd rather end the game on no kills than get them handed to me.

Lack of balance between killers and their powers. Ofc there's always gonna be a killer more viable than another, but absolutely ignoring weaker killer's viability, makes attracting new players kinda hard. There's absolutely NO reward for mastering the killer you actually enjoy. Good example is probably Myers, the one killer that interested MANY people into joining the game. But after few games as him, you'll be absolutely stomped every game. Don't get me wrong, all killers can be played at high levels of play, but even those people who main trash tier killers know, that it shouldn't be like that. Every killer should be able to progress at similar pace. And because a lot of people care more about being competitive than having fun, it's the reason why we rarely see anything besides Nurses and Blights. Don't take it as insult, if you main them, I'm fully aware of the absolute learning hell they are, but would you really still play them if they were in the trash tier?

Maps are the bane of many games, there's always maps that some people like and some people dislike, depending on how annoying it is to play on them. I don't like to hate on any of the dbd maps, some of them are super nice to play on, some are an absolute hell. But for me it's just a matter of learning how to play on each. Loops on some maps tho, are a different topic. Every loop tiles should be thoroughly tested before seeing the light of the day, to see if they can be abused into infinity.

Survivor toxicity isn't as big of a problem as people make it to be, like i don't care, you waste your own time. It's the tools that give them enough safety to act this way. the "you can't do anything to me, so I'll use this time to absolutely bm the hell out of you". It got widely accepted that survivor is the power role in this game, there's more people playing survivor, because it requires barely any effort compared to killer. And survivors know that, that's why they won't touch the killer role. It's easier to bully someone with no punishment than fight bullies. I play survivor too, and i find it really sad that this game started as deadly hide and seek funtime, and ended up as "which side will dc first" competition. Take away survivor's safety tools (especially with the incoming endurance 5-6 hit meta) and you'll see that toxicity was caused by the absolute safety they feel. Killers should be feared.

Kills/Escapes as the indicator of skill is a hell of a mistake to do. I think we all hate either hiding survivors waiting for everyone else to die, or super tryharding killers, that speedrun their kills. What if we reworked that into an actual check of skill. Ranks don't matter now, so what if you made like a new, and actual ranking system based on points (like in many competetive games). Game is already aware of any of the player's actions counting towards certain emblems, but what if we removed the emblem cap, and we would get a more accurate showdown of what we did throughout the game. Like good job at doing X, but you did it in not optimal way, so you'll get points deducted. And in the end we could build like stats that people would be able to check in lobbies to see like "this person is very altruistic, but doesn't care about objective", "this person does avg 3 gens per match, but dies quickly", etc etc. Also being able to check killer's profile in lobby should be possible too. It can be made without telling survivors what killer it is. Ranking seasons could last longer than a month, and rank would actually matter, cuz of the points system. And Kills/Escapes wouldn't need to be the main indicators of skill.

OK, so after the edit you can say, Basicly other players are the problem, am I right?

Survivors run away from me when i try to hit them....

Killer perspective;

* You can't play casually, you are under pressure from the get go and are forced to use gen regression perks to give you buy you some time. Usually a gen or 2 are done as you get a hook against decent players. I've played brilliantly with Oni in my last few games, yet survivors still managed to get to 1 gen left or even the exits powered.

* Survivors out perk you 16-4, you cannot counter them all plus they get a 5th perk in the form of an item

* Survivors get items which you can only counter via perks such as lightborn or franklins which waste perk slots.

Survivor perspective;

Don't have too many issues when playing as a solo survivor. I like the challenge. Lack of maps is a downer and tomes are pretty boring now.

Well, you name all the problems of playing killer generally speaking... I personally DESPISE toxicity and swf above anything else, followed by map layouts. Certain maps are TOO MUCH SAFE, no matter what killer you are using (except nurse obviously)...
