This game makes me sad

If playing killer is so miserable for you or the people that agree with you—switch to solo queue! That’ll solve your worries. Like Hugthehag said, you can focus on yourself and still escape. Have at it. :)

And you completely missed the point, it's not about harder to win but more STRESSFUL to play with micromanaging, keeping attention on half a dozen things simultaneously and non stop action , not the good kind but the "zero time to breath kind".

Step of the gas as killer and the match is over before you know it.

It is as if you play lol non stop Teamfights. No Backport, no shopping, no back to lane.

Given you don't know the difference between Eruption and Pain Res you clearly don't play Survivor at all, so you must run into the occasional toxic SWF squad.

Exactly as Killer it's a very stressful experience. I'm not a top tier player as Killer but I know my way around as them and get the job done....but dam it's stressful to do it.

If I want to be silly and have fun with the Survivors as Demopuppy looking for head pats they rush hard and go EZ GAME JUST QUIT or TRASH KILLER JUST UNINSTALL. And when I go to win mode still called trash killer.....

Also Killer being in first person makes everything feel more personal, frustrating, and generally annoying IMO. It's easier to separate yourself from the frustration and not care as survivor since it's third person so there's more psychological distance and more visual awareness of the game environment as a whole. The extremely low killer FOV without shadowborn makes the game extra claustrophobic and disorienting which I presume is unfortunately how most people play killer and also adds to the stress. The low in game brightness and intense flashing animations for blinds and light flickering in maps probably give people headaches/physical discomfort more in first person view as well. I know it does for me.

The curtsy (look it up, it may help to see it that way) survivors are doing is absolutely meaningless.

If you know you can't get them at the door, I suggest you don't go there and let them languish while they act like monkeys.

Playing killer is almost always arguably more difficult and more tense than playing survivor. You are pressed by time and you can never stop. Survivor, win or lose, has more down-time. I'm not talking about winning or losing, only about resources spent to play. This will never change without making the game too easy for killer and/or unbearable for survivors.

In my opinion, killers are in a generally good position at the moment. It may depend on the player's expectations though.

Whatever killer I play (I play almost all of them, with Nurse and Huntress being the usual go-to) I usually only care about having fun and good chases. If I go against a team that rushes the gens faster that I can handle, I don't really care. I'll tunnel one to avoid a depip, and I'll move to the next game. (And sometimes, survivors try to defend the one and get exterminated for it)

As for the end chat, most players are nice or polite. The ones that aren't and act silly, I'll laugh at and move on : they don't matter.(Sometimes they get reported too, when they cross the line)

If you want to experience a truly exhausting killer play, check VHS, before they vanish from the face of the Earth.

I only have a few suggestions (some easier said than done, I agree)

• stop caring so much about stranger's opinion,
• learn to out-troll the trolls,
• play both roles (more?),
• focus at one task, or self-determined challenge and ignore anything else in the game, be happy when you succeed.

Example: Nurse, grand-master-style (no perk, no add-on), or just one perk (e.g. Franklin, until 6.5)

Example: Huntress, cross-map hits.

Example: Trapper, only trap downs.

Example: Survivor, take the time of the killer for as much as you can. Ignore gens. (Great way to improve, in the long run)

Let's be real. PTSD is a very serious thing. The kind of event that trigger a PTSD are way to dark to even being to describe.

Someone getting PTSD from something as innocuous as a game is absolute nonsense.

Like i said, dont take it so personally. Its only stressful if you let it be.

You're right but killer just is so upsetting if you lose it does not matter even if you won 10 games a row when swf just humilates and destroys you. Maybe it can give some comfort but it's still horrible experience. As survivor you have team at least you didn't were alone. Killer needs team too 2 killers vs 6 survivors would be more fair. It should be added as another game mode. So then killers could just relax and have fun.

As annoying versing some survivors can be, it's almost always worth it.

This was one of the sweatiest match I've played today. I was quietly doing my dailies with my least used killers when I found myself going against a very annoying team.

They were exploiting loops to their fullest and "tagging" whenever a window would get blocked for one survivor to prevent a down and continue looping. (This was one of these cases were committing to a down is the only good option.)

They were dropping flash-bangs, readying a flashlight save and doing sabos.

The were very coordinated.

Although I downed them several times, I didn't manage to get a hook before three gens were done. I didn't answer to their provocations and kept trying to be unpredictable. And then they finally made a mistake that I took fully advantage of. Soon after one dead, then another, then the last one. No hatch for them.

As tense as it was, it felt very good to made them eat their flashlights.

Their silence after the "gg" was the sherry on top. (They were all still connected.)

My point is, aggressive teams can be beaten by using their peculiar style against them, as long as the killer can keep his cool.

Don't open post game chat if you're not in the mood for getting trash talked. If you're playing for fun, set yourself other win conditions than "kill X survivors". For me, it's to have some good chases where I get to utilize my build and power, and to make some BP.

who cares, go ahead and tunnel, go ahead and camp and slug, who cares what the survs think, you paid for this game play how u wanna play

I get more a more chill game experience from Rainbow Six Siege....and that's after I have some rando try to insult me on my style of game playing or who I picked to play a round....
