I continue playing killers just bc I don't want to admit I got beaten, but now...

This time, it just cost me 3 nights of the game to recognize this. It reminds me why I give up this game once. This game is totally a surv single side game, while killers are just clowns or objects of amusement. I continue playing killers bc I don' want to admit I got beaten. I want to write about why playing killers is annoying.

ALL the strategy is based on information, and SWF can save all the AURA perks for other perks, while killers are forced to take BBQ, regardless of whether it's useful or not. They also have so many build styles, firstly, they can gen rush, or they can speed up heal extremity to heal up in 3s. They can take 4 flashlights to bully... Just the fact that they can save AURA perks is completely unfair.

This game always requests killers do better:

1.You can't get treated in a chase even once.

2.You can't focus on one.

3.You have to go to another side of the map after hooking, no matter how fast you are, can you teleport or not.

4.You have to spend hundreds of hours to learn new killer bc they nurf the old one to trash. After you master an op killer, they will nurf the addon to trash to make your efforts nothing. I can't endure this, bc more and more killers are hard, and they need a large amount of time to master.

But turn to surv side, damn they get many graces.

1. You have two extra chances for making mistake.

2. You have free BT for their reckless rescue operation.

3. The powerful perks. You have potential perks that threaten killers. Like BT, DH, and DS(I mean, as long as those perks are in surv perk options, they can change killers' play style). Killer players always that: 8 hooks but 0 kills. Besides, survs have simple but powerful perks to speed up run, fix and heal, which killers' perks are all with preconditions.

4. You have killers‘ carrying part to take advantage unilaterally, no matter use perks, flashlight or just block hook position(I always believe killers have to stand on a certain point to hook is a stupid thing).

5. Killers spend seconds to destroy gens, but surv can fix it only by a touch.

6.Killers spend hundreds of hours learning new power, while surv never have to change their strategy: fix the gen, run around a plate, drop plates and jump through windows, no matter who's killer. This makes the fact that, 90% of the killers are totally garbage, and the only option is playing nurse. I don't think running around a plate is the original design of the game...

7. All the killers have a fixed add-on combo. When we talk about killers' strength, we are talking about their strength with the addon. While survs are already strong with perks combo, they still can take items to gain an extra edge.

I won't play killer again until they:

1. delete all the blind and stun perks and items,

2. limit SWF's total perks to 4 from 16, can't take the same items.

    More like "I won't play survivor until they remove bloodlust", because it actually doesn't matter that much in majority of scenario.

    While most of this is just stupid, I can agree with the fact that 1 survivor standing under a hokey completely negates the killers ability to hook until they attack, which has a hefty cooldown, yet I, the one against 4, can't forcefully deny an unhooking because "lol Spinney hook" and am forced to play whackamole on hardcore mode trying to grab the survivor, which 50% of the time means they just get off Scot free. Let killers use any angle to hook just like survivors can use any angle to unhook.

    Play survivor if you want to play survivor. Everyone knows about how survivor sided the game is outside of the survivor one tricks, but their opinion does not matter, really. Just play to enjoy yourself. It is a party game, fam. Have fun. If killer is not it, you do not need to play it.

    I use to have the movie mindset of ‘I’m the Killer, I’m the power role, I should be feared’ to the ‘Oh yeah, this is a 4v1 game, I’m at a huge disadvantage, I’m honestly lucky if I can kill anybody.’

    nu-uh, you're supposed to sweat and take everything personally. If you're not salty, you're not playing the game right.

    It just sounds like you aren't the best killer. Killers who don't have as much experience get bullied a lot by more experienced survivors. It's the exact opposite for survivors who aren't as experienced complaining about the game being killer sided.

    For some reason, I had a bunch of games yesterday with trolly survivors who brought map offerings to compliment their perks/items. I had a game on saloon where the whole team had flashlights and were able to use them for locker saves and were competent. Did I get mad and let them keep flashlight saving? No. Did I adjust my strategy because I knew they would throw to try and get saves and everyone out? Yes.

    They easily could have gotten a 4 man out if they wanted to, I literally was only playing for bbq stacks and points. They threw because they were swarming the slugs and I couldn't pick anyone up. So I ended up with a 3k by bleeding them out long enough.

    Some would say that they were a bully squad, but if you don't fall for the same trick, then they can't really bully you. Survivors that are just doing their objective and leaving are not bullying you, they're just trying to play the game for their side.

    If you don't want to play, take a break or don't play this game. If the game isn't bringing you fun and only making you stressed, then it isn't healthy to continue. Don't feel like this game has anything related to your ego/pride/self-worth. Whether you do well or not doesn't mean anything.

    This guy is the literal cover killer in this game though. This is what most people who are killer sided lurking around the forums are like. They basically want to watch a cutscene, not compete against other living breathing players in a video game.

    Thats completely unrealistic. Survivors can't fight so the only option is perk/ stuns etc so if you remove them it's gonna just be no chance that's like saying remove all killer perks. Plus why does everyone announce its Survivor sided like its some conspiracy? Its a 4v1 asymmetrical it's not SUPPOSED to be equal it's literally in the game description. If you find nurse the only viable option then either your an OG nurse main (in which case I salute you as that ######### is hard) OR you think the only way to win is to teleport which isn't the case I've seen tons of killers slap Survivors! Also there are other aura killer perks so I'm not sure why you say killers only have like 1. There's quite a few plus the scratches, birds locker noises gen noises etc.


    Plus with the meta change half if the genuine issues like the harsh killer misshit CD time and stuff is being reduced qnd perks being changed. But if you don't like killer don't play it like why waste YOUR life playing something you don't like because "I won't be beaten" life is too short for that
