Why do I keep spawning right next to the killer at the beginning of a match?
How's that fair? When I'm the killer, the survivors are usually very far away from me at the start of a match, so it doesn't make any sense when I spawn into a game and the killer is literally right next tome, not 5 seconds away and is able to just start chasing me immediately.
Is there a perk for this or is this factored into ######### skill based matchmaking? I do not try in any match where the killer immediately finds me within 10 seconds of the match start, I just let them kill me so I can get out of that horse ######### match. It's having a negative impact on other players unfortunately but this ######### ain't fair to me.

It's been happening MULTIPLE games in a row by the way, and ever other game at the least, I'm not enjoying this game anymore, when I first started playing this game a few weeks back I was NOT spawning right next to the killer in the first 10 seconds of the game. It just makes no sense whatsoever.

Very likely these people are using Lethal Pursuer.

If your connection or computer is slow the game started 10 seconds or so before you get control so any Lethal Pursuer Killer will be on you.

I just quit out of the last game and exited the game, not playing this until they fix this problem. My connection and internet are fine, I am just consistently first target and spawning right next to killer every single match.
My GUESS is skill based matchmaking, that is part of it, they put better players in more vulnerable positions to "even the game out," not supporting that god awful fuckery.

Yeah, thats probably Lethal Pursuer. Of course, with you suiciding on hook you will never know, as you won't be seeing the killers loadout.
But for real: I got more games then I can count were this happened to me, and you know what? In 90% of the time the killer didn't camp, because they obviously wanted a fun match and I just played a bit more carefully. Sometimes I later died, sometimes I escaped, but besides giving the killer a leg up in the early game, the games played pretty much the same.
So next time, why don't you try to swallow your pride and just continue the game? You could be missing out on the most fun game in ages, just give it a chance.

Spawns have felt a bit off recently I thought. Like I'm spawning a lot as killer in the centre of the map, which makes it actually very difficult to know where to go first. If you're a killer running Lethal and this happens you will be on someone within 10 seconds easily. I mean even without that perk you can easily be on someone if you get lucky on your first gen checked. On the flip side I've had 1 gen pop because I've failed to find anyone when the spawn location is the middle of map.

Nah they need to fix that, it's not a perk or anything, they're just RIGHT NEXT to me as the initial post mentioned. that's the issue, they aren't on the opposite side of the map like when I play killer. We are around the same gen.
Glad you're having fun though, I'm not supporting that nonsense though.

Yes you're right, it seems like the kilers are spawning middle more often which is insane.

I've lost count of the number of times I've heard the killers terror radius when my camera is still spinning loading into the match or when I can see the killer facing my character during the camera spin. It's been happening for awhile to the point I just expect it at this point.

Ive noticed that a lot as well as both Killer and Survivor. Sometimes as killer i take 3 steps and see a survivor, others they are on the opposite side of the map.
Likewise 3 seconds after spawn ill be in terror radius, or wont see a killer for like a minute.
I also notice often that survivors are spawning right on hex totems nearly everygame. Its nice when i spawn next to one as a survivor, but infuriating when survivors do it and im a killer lol.

Killer Terror Radius can cover like 1/3 of a map before you run into weird stuff like Wesker running Distressing. Remember, 100m a side is pretty big for DbD, if the Killer spawns like 20m from one of the other edges (pretty common, there's usually at least one generator behind them), then their terror radius is already reaching over the halfway mark.
(also, 5s away from the Killer = 23m, so even if they don't have a mobility power, with lethal pursuer that's not an unsurprising distance at all)
