I can't play this game anymore and this is making me sad
DbD is my favorite game nowadays, besides all the problems and toxic players (on both sides) I am always trying to have fun and look the good side of it. But, I don't know if it's me, but it looks like that after the big update (that changed the meta) the game got worse.
I am a surv almost 90% of my plays and I am getting the feeling that I am being tunelled and campered a lot more since the update. And this is not the only problem, when a surv is being camped I try to exchange hooks to give the other player another chance, but with Save The Best For Last being used as a meta, I can't even exchange hooks, I don't have the time to get the hit and save, I am always getting the second hit or being "catched" when trying to unhook. Sometimes I feel that I can't even pass from the other side of a pallet after a hit with STBFL.
Don't get me wrong, playing as a killer is hard, I suffer a lot as a killer (and a lot more before this update), but playing as a surv is getting worse and worse. I can't play this game without getting ansious and angry about how things are turning.
Besides all that problems there are always "ridiculous" hits - even after jumping a windows and starting walking I get a hit, or the pallet not being dropped for some reason when I reach them and pressed the button (I really don't know what is happening with this). And when I can survive until almost the EGC and there's only two survivors, almost all killer leave me on the floor or keeps dropping me to rat out the other surv (I made another topic about that on this forum).
Well I just want to know if it's only me that have this feelings, but for now, I will keep away from this game for some weeks to keep my mental health intact.

Same experience, friend, so you're not alone. I keep trying to play once a week or so just to see if it's gotten any better but it really hasn't. Too much changed at once for me to really say one way or another what made the game worse, but something really did just break with this update and ruined the balance of the experience for me.

The hit box issue through windows comes down to "lag' remember the servers favour the killers ping and there is also the silly hit validation problem that has always existed lol....
Yes tunneling and camping has increased it is not against the rules and no i am not saying it is a good play to do at 5 gens unless its a bully squad that is just being dicks. So please do not think or assume as a killer i think it is a fun thing to do at the start i personally rather not be staring at a survivor on a hook the entire match.
This is new to survivors not being the "power role" for a change and the role has now gone to favor the killer side more now but i can garantee that won't last long it's a game and will evolve and change over time and to honesty expect balance in a 4 v 1 style game is not that easy you will always favour one side over the other.
I have noticed a lot more survivors Disconecting on their first hook or just simply giving up on first hook so killers are not completely to blame here why would you give up on the very first hook of the game it just shows how selfish some are.
Anyhow if your getting that anxious and angry might be time to take a break from the game lets hope things get better with the new chapter.

I've been playing DBD since it first came out. Like you, it has been my "Go To" game for most of that time. It has had issues all along. But since the update/overhaul it is completely broken, heavily in favour of the Killer. I don't care what anyone says, if you are having ANY trouble playing killer then the problem is you. To top it off the Toxic camping and tunneling by Killers seems to have gotten worse. I am 100% positive that part of the problem is that Survivor mains are quitting the game in droves and Killer mains, that play with skill, are leaving due to a lack of challenge, I am sad to say I will no longer be playing the game and I will NOT ever be back
No it is not just you. I mained as Killer for a long time when the game first started. I switched to about 50/50 for the last couple of years. Yes, there has always been a problem with Toxic play on BOTH sides, up till now.
The big new update/overhaul has made the game completely unplayable as a Survivor anymore. Since the update, as killer, I have only had 1 match where 1 survivor escaped and 1 match where 3 escaped. The other 98% has been easy 4k's. Half of those had either only 1 gen completed or none at all. Playing survivor on the other hand, I have only had a handful of games where anyone escapes at all.
If the game was in this state at original release it never would have gained ANY fanbase at all. Good Luck to those that stick it out longer. It is going to be either a painful or pathetic ride.
