I just want to have fun

I know if you don't take the game too seriously it can be quite fun but as killer it's not fun rn. I'm new compared to alot of people my age and am facing people that have thousands more hours than me. I'm not really having fun (for me personally) mostly because I don't know who I'm going against, which map, or how the gens will be spread out . Mix that with the "aim assist", rubber banding, sometimes ridiculously close pallets next to god windows really annoys me . If bots actually are implemented soon I'll buy killers, skins, etc . But until things change this is how I feel , and yes I suppose I could just leave and find another game that suits me better but I really enjoy the idea of this game .

    If you have no patience to wait, because radical changes will take ages, just leave and find something else to do. This game in many aspects is a totally waste of time.

    Killer can definitely be frustrating early on. My best advice is to try every killer you have and pick one you enjoy playing. This way even if you lose you’ll probably still have fun

    Also try not to get bogged down by flashlight clicking, teabagging or general toxic behaviour. You’ll probably never see those players again anyway so no point thinking about it after the match ends

    Upload video of your gameplay and I'm sure a bunch of people will give you advice how to improve.

    Play surv and you’ll see how fun is being camped and tunneled

    best Tipp i can give is: Play for your BBQ Stacks, and leave it at that. (as long as we still have BBQ Bonus BP)


    get 4 Hooks and then just stopp going for Survivors. Take a Killer you can do fun stuff with. Huntress for example, you try to aim a bit and maybe do some long shots... Hillbilly, Blight, Spirit, Demo you can do some pretty fun stuff with them aswell.


    Don't care about what the Survivors are doing and just have some fun trying things out.



    Eventually your MMR will drop and it gets easier and easier to get those 4 Stacks. And at One point you can even start playing for real again after you had your fun and Practice. :D

    Don't let the hours of play intimidate you. I know players with thousands of hours of play who are still trash. Also, you only get better by playing against experienced opponents. But you're right, RNG and map design can be really terrible.

    if your looking for fun in DBD like someone said get your bbq stacks then just have fun after i do it all the time, i'll play the pig and my build is done to sneak up on people and to try and get as many boop on the snoot in that match, ghost face find a window and see if you can get a survivor to go up and down with you, there is a lot of ways to have fun in this game it just comes down to if you just want to try and get the 4k or your happy to hook them at least once then have fun and not care if they get out.

    Sadly this secondary objective, which is way more fun and visually rewarding than basic kills and the 4k, is going to get removed with the coming perk update 😭

    That was often my goal as killer - get my BBQ stacks and have fun after that. BHVR have taken that away now - thanks guys! 🙄

    VHS is the worst bully simulator I've ever played. It's the wettest dream of any entitled survivor main looking to kill the killer in a 1v1. So no.

    This, so much this. Stop trying just maximize every game. Find some goofy thing on a killer that you can do for a laugh. Mess with the survivors without making them utterly miserable. Get your four hooks. Move on to the next game. Eventually as your MMR drops, go for eight hooks then a kill. You'll find a balance point eventually.

    Can confirm. I have an unhealthy amount of bourse sunk into this game and am still trash.

    I'd like to think that would generate some positive things for OP to use, but after seeing someone post a wraith match showing people body blocking and such, all he got was criticism with no feedback. So hopefully if OP does post it, he gets some constructive criticism and not just negativity.

    Dead by Daylight is not the kind of game that caters well to new players. The fact that it took over 6 years just to get a practice/bot mode is kind of nuts. Personally I'm waiting until the mid chapter update goes live before I hop back into the game. Playing killer is a sweatfest no matter what your MMR rating may be, and the changes being implemented will definitely help. Even BHVR themselves admitted that Killers aren't being anywhere near effective as they should be, so I would suggest wait another week or two and try it again once the changes are live.

    i was trying huntress for a hatchet challenge, much respect to the killers who main her, i don't know how people do it, my aim is absolute trash, managed to get my hits to complete it though so i was dancing ha.

    I like playing Legion and running around in Frenzy in my bunny cosmetic, my break from survivor solo where i've been getting stomped more than usual recently 😂

    It would be nice if they came up with a way to practice Killer with bots. I only play two Killers because if I ever tried a new one, like Hag, I know I'd be slapped against an SWF my first match based on my hours as a survivor. I'd like a no pressure way to try Killers.
