My experience with DBD lately.

I had a killer game today with Nemesis on disturbed ward. Took me 30 or 40 seconds to find my first survivor. Then I got in a chase with a David who held W well and looped a couple pallets and by the time I downed him 4 gens were done. 2 minutes and 54 seconds. 4 gens.

At the very least, the killers shroud offering could group survs, and the survs split maybe one per offering from the group. Please BHVR 🤞

you see, i think that genspeed overall is fine par se, the problems are lack of other objectives to do for the survivors (for example they should add a mechanic that after reaching a certain percentage the gen won't regress completely if being kicked/regressed by perks but you have to found a special item that will casually spawn on the map in order to continue the reparations, in that way you'll also keep the survivor's gameplay more dinamic and interactive), all the 2nd chances that survivors have (this is problematic only in high mmr imo where people actually know how to loop well and will last MUCH longer in chases: for example doesn't matter if a survivor will use instaheals, ds, otr, dead hard, etc etc, if the survivor will be an average looper/isn't tryharding by chaining safe loops/will avoid to ABUSE certain loops like the house in the garden of joy map, he/she will be downed in a reasonable time) and the rng/size of the maps that most of the times will screw badly the killer (again garden of joy and the HUGE amount of pallets near each other in every loop, not to mention again the central building of that map; or the houses in haddonfield that are extremely safe and unless you take bamboozle those are literal infinites with certain killers just to made a couple of examples... i could name other maps but i'll stop here because i'll probably wrote an essay). Essencially people will keep blaming killers that tunnel WITHOUT questioning WHY they play in that way (actual mechanics of the game INCENTIVE killers to dispose of a survivor ASAP intead of going for mixed hooks)

Firstly, people on forums always say the game is getting worse. Most people don't cry out about how much of a good time in dbd they're having, because they're playing dbd instead and enjoying themselves. Most people on forums are here because they like forum interactions, are looking for help or want a place to give their anger and the last group defiantly has the most they want to say.

To avoid sounding like a dickhead there is one constant here. What I'm saying applies to most multiplayer games which blaming the other players is a mindset that you can bait your self with. Someone else mentioned cognitive biases which is a key factor but there are two things to consider.

1. Regardless of hours or intent it's ok to not do well. People get lilted, unfocused, unlucky, make mistakes and hell I can get rusty after not playing for less than a week. Doing bad is ok, you're not supposed to win all the time on either side and the most important part of any game is trying to win while setting goals that aren't contingent on it. Trying to get better isn't always winning, using a new build and experimenting isn't always winning, going for those sick montage clips isn't always winning. I'm not saying to not try or expect to lose but if you are someone who needs to always win, which doesn't necessarily sound like you, multiplayer games probably aren't for you. Ultimately it's a game and yes someone may bm in the post chat but beyond that no one else will significantly care about the results of the match afterwards. I'm saying this because important for the next part.
2. You are the constant. Record it down to avoid any sort of negative biases and check, are people really bringing absurd amount of gen speed bonuses each match or are my team mates actually throwing. Chances are they're not and there's one factor constant, you. Chances are you're not even losing too often but just have this negative bias which picks out what you don't like over what you do. If you win less than your average survivor however, you are the constant in all of your teams. If you are seeing these problems and what your doing isn't working change. Stop throwing yourself at the killer because of this defeatist mindset that your teammates are bad, make sure that on these 2 minute chases your aren't bringing the killer to your teammates and stopping them from doing gens, maybe try to focus on objectives and see if that helps. As for killer bring some early game help, play more aggressively, gen speed bonuses usually come at the detriment of not having as strong medkits or other late game options so focus on exploiting that, the survivors can't have everything. It's easy to blame the factors out of your control but if the constant in the matches you lose is you, you need to change. Try anything different and see if it helps rather than doing the same thing over and over.

I understand what I said may sounds condescending as you do have a lot of hours but I've seen people with even more and less hours fall into this negative pitfall of thinking they've learnt the game or it's always factors out their control and let themselves get infuriated by it, notably it's just as easy for smart or experienced people to rationalise bad ideas or thought patterns as those who could be consider less smart or experienced. None of this just applies to dbd and I'm not saying the game is perfect, but if the frustration is from losing adapt. Most killers can win and most survivors can win, regardless of hours the game will change in a way that hurts your playstyle every so often and you'll have to look at yourself and think, what should I do to overcome this.

A final thing is you do have a lot of time, maybe you've gotten bored. Sometimes it isn't about losing or change but over exposure. 1k is a lot in any game and maybe your bored, the small matches where things go wrong irk you more and more and the nice ones are a drop in a puddle now. If you genuinely feel like you've had enough regardless of any changes you could make it take a break, the game has given you a good bang for your buck and it will always be there to come back to later for all it matters. BHVR will notice if everyone gets bored and dislikes the game from play rates or reviews, so don't worry yourself about whether or not this is a personal issue or some grand problem BHVR has the tools to figure that out themselves it's their job.

I had a match today where the gens were done in less than 5 minutes. I got 1 hook in it. They had 2 windows players which sadly i was chasing both and they just ran from pallet to pallet. Map was pale rose...grah..

Lately ive seen survivors just do gens as fast as possible, had many games as survivor as well where the gens were done so fast the killer got 0-2 hooks in the whole game. I don't find this fun as a survivor when i play one and i find it even less funny when i play killer.

Game has issues on both sides right now. I'm agreeining eruption is little overtuned, but so are gen speedup perks like prove thyself. Its very common to see multiple prove thyselfs in one game. Survivors spawning in different places + huge maps are also a big problem for many killers. Lately..the new maps..do i even have to say anything?

I play more survivor nowdays since im burned out from killer, and after today..i dont miss being a killer.
