and before you tell me, well killers are op atm, they are not, sure blight and nurse are broken, i think everyone knows that

but tbh survivors aren't EVEN TRYING, i get dc against a nurse but pig, ghosty, sadako, HELL EVEN TRAPPER, not only are u ruining the game for the other survivors you are ruining it for the killer as well, because most of the time i tend to go friendly because my heart is too squishy and i generally feel bad, unless it was a bully squad then DEATH TO ALL

and everyone is expecting the devs to do something, how the hell do u expect anyone to do anything when they can't even get information because survivors keep dc every game or just going afk, despite the killing playing nicely

and then sometimes, playing nicely as a killer just doesn't work when survivors keep spamming ez, like couldn't have just tunneled you all game and gave you an actual reason to get salty

and its the same for survivors, you play nicely, u get tunneled ,u play hardcore u get a nice killer, its weird

the problem is with this game is, people will try to play nicely but others won't allow them

and MMR is playing a HUGE role in this mess not sure why it hasn't been fixed yet

    its a bit annoying tbh, i barely get competent survivors, most of them are new or just afk, the queue might be short but what's the point

    The Killer is the power role, if somebody spent 3k hours mastering literally every facet of a specific Killer they quite frankly deserve to be unbeatable

    true, but think what players want is have a tiny chance

    The best part is ive seen them admit on here and on reddit that they are intentionally dying to reverse the patch. Do they think the devs are stupid? they can see what number of people die first hook, what number self unhook to die, and what number dc. sure the tantrum might bring some small changes but the devs are literally computer programmers and game designers. they are NOT stupid, and they KNOW what is happening. The subtly passive aggressiveness in that last dev announcement made me chuckle.


    great job everyone who keeps quitting for not only ruining the game with your asinine plan, but soooooo intelligent to keep announcing it and making it obvious.

    I have at this point had a teammate or survivor i was playing against dc against- and i am not exggerating i dont CARE if anyone believes me- EVERY single killer in the game.

    Ive seen dcs or quitters/throwers against trapper, nurse, blight, artist, nemesis, you name it ive seen it happen. so idc what anyone says about nurse or blight. The people who are dcing are doing it no matter what. point blank. match is winnable? quit. match is hard? quit. match is a loss? forget about hatch existing because its time to- you guessed it- quit.

    that subreddit is 99% survivor mains bullying killers outside of games and moderators banning any killer who remotely criticizes a survivor player.


    meanwhile over on the killer subreddit half the people are memeing and the killers talk about both their killer AND survivor games.

    I would argue good SWF team with equal experience can still beat that nurse.

    I try against killers that aren't broken. It's not about sending a message to devs, it's about how I've come to prioritize my own fun. That's all I can say here.

    Sometimes, I wish those who dc could see the end game results. It would be funny to dc because they had a hissy fit, only to see the other 3 escaped. Especially if they predicted a certain build and dc'd because of that.

    A trial recently I had as The Onryo had 2 dc's early on. I only wish that they could see my build (because I randomise it) ... Hex:Thrill of the Hunt and Unnerving Presence! Absolutely terrible perk randomiser!

    Yesterday I played two games as a nurse. In the first match I was against a team of survivors that knew what they were doing and easily countered me, while in the second one I destroyed the survivors and got a 4k. In both matches I was running the purple addon that increases her blink distance and the one that makes her undetectable when hitting a survivor after blinking. Nobody DCd, but in the match I got the 4k I ended up harvesting some salt.

    Now, in the match all survs escaped I faced four people who were constantly breaking my line of sight and relied on stealth. They also figured out I had nurse's calling and adapted to it. Against them I could not do anything. They were also repairing strategically so the last three gens were as far as possible. Then, in the match I got 4k, they were always pressing w out in the open, they never figured nurse's calling out and they ended up in a three close gen situation with a nurse. The thing this showed me is that nurse can be countered, she depends on her línea of sight and in places with two floors she can be a mess. But some think that complaining and giving up is the way to get things changed.


    About Blight all I can say is that, as a person who is not quite good with him, he requires some degree of skill and knowing the collision in the game too well, but he is also a killer that relies on his line of sight and out in the open he is quite useless.

    I don't understand people dcing against blight or nurse.

    Unless it's a nurse with range slugging everyone at 5gens with knockout. DC away.

    Today might have been the worst run of teammates DCing or killing themselves on hook I've personally experienced. Funny thing is, most of those games stayed competitive until late despite a teammate bailing early, and in three games where one of the team DC'd/suicided on the first hook of the game (two vs. slowdown Plague and one vs. slowdown Legion (ffs)), the remaining three of us completed the gens and escaped.

    So yeah, many people aren't even trying in games that are very winnable, and it's a bummer. After enough of them I just started switching to autopilot when it happened. Feels bad, man.

    Yeah, I ran into one of those very nurses the other night and nearly DC'd, and I am always up on my soapbox screaming about how no one should ever DC (which is probably the only reason I didn't, tbh).

    What a lame, miserable experience that was.

    I disagree as a solo survivor. Some of my most feel good wins were against these killers.

    i play about 60/40 maybe 70/30. If we are on the same platform survivors send me toxic salt EVERY match. period. no matter what happens SOMEONE sends salt. Even if the rest of the team says gg or thought I was impressive, i have never in YEARS of this game not had salt after a match if atleast 3-4 were on the same platform. Back when I played with crossplay off it was literally every single game.

    I have NEVER had a killer say anything but GG, or compliment a friend of mine that quit for breaking their ankles.

    The killers 100% are more chill.

    Survivors that DC should be flagged as DCers, and the game should purposely match them with other survivors that DC, so they can ruin each other's games. That is the most fair solution.

    Hackers are definitely the worst. It says something that hackers are so terrible they make ragequitters look good.

    This isn't a single player game.

    In mp, everyone should have a chance of winning. So Nurse does need a nerf because mastering her and using the best Perks and Add-ons make her indeed unbeatable.

    Survivors DC/stop trying the moment they think they won't win.

    Thats the cold reality you need to understand.

    No, it's not because its a Nurse or a Blight. Its the pettiness of this current generation of players who will quit if things don't go their way.

    Lol...what? DC'ing has literally always been a thing. It isn't any more prevalent in this "current generation of players."

    Also, killers DC just as often as survivors.

    I don't DC myself, but I can tell you that yes, people have been DC'ing directly because of nurse for years, Blight not so much.

    Yeah unfortunately even for me (I main Hag) I've had countless DCs since the patch . Sometimes literally the first 30 seconds cause a surv will slow vault a window and I take them to basement, or they DC once they realize the snowball is forming

  • Mr_K
    Mr_K Member Posts: 10,466

    DCing isn't anything new, yes. DCing as a form of protest is.

    And no, its not only against Nurse and Blight. I've experienced more DCs from other killer as a killer and survivor.

    Killers literally should be unbeatable. DbD is NOT a 1v1 against the Killer, it is a 4v1 where every Survivor can be downed three times. You should literally never be able to escape from a killer, only delay them as much as possible and count on your team to make the most of the time you buy them.

    Delaying the killer so your team can finish gens is what i mean by "beating them"
