Seriously killer is just not fun

Survivor prestige level is irrelevant. It's simply the amount of bloodpoints they've invested into that particular survivor. They don't suddenly become worse at the game because they've decided to play their Prestige 6 Nea instead of their P100 Meg.

Play chill. Don't count on winning most of the time. I'm doing the anniversary with trickster which makes it difficult but fun. Almost as much fun as lightborn making the flashlight bully squads annoyed.

Don't read "Farm BP" as "Oh, I feel like doing my killer dailies today" but rather "My last 5 matches as survivor ended with a Terrormisu combo getting wasted by a face camping or tunneling killer and I left the match with 3k BP, time to switch sides."

I'd have understood people doubting me because I play very few killer matches back in 6.1 when I truly started playing killer, but you don't understand how much more I'm playing killer the more patches get released.

I'm having very little patience for survivor matches anymore. I can't put 5 times the effort I put into my Killer matches just to leave with 3 times fewer amount of points. My survivor matches are streaks of 3 days without a single escape, without progress in my tomes nor the ability to do my dailies, so lately I've been so fed up I'm giving survivor matches a few tries and if things don't go well I spend the rest of the day playing killer. And I'm not exactly someone who plays videogames an hour or two per week.

Playing Killer non-competitively is far, far easier and more forgiving than playing Survivor non-competitively.

It'll get worse because I think a lot of Killer mains are going to stop playing through this event. Some nights I am running the map, others I can't do anything right. But rarely is it a mix. A few bad nights in a row and I kinda don't want to play anymore. I could see the Killer numbers drop as we go. I don't think many Killers would argue if you want to play competitively it's very hard to do it right now.

I feel the opposite but I think I'm starting to feel like both sides are unfun. I can play killer for a while and never get bothered really. Three matches in as survivor though and the urge to let go on hook or dc every match sets in, until I just quit playing. What's bad is as much as I want to keep blaming teammates or camping killers, the truth is, they probably don't like the way I'm playing either.

The options for survivor just aren't what they once were, in my eyes anyway. It's turned into either play to win, or play to have fun knowing you'll probably lose. I don't mind either but the issue is you may get matched up with 2 trying to win and 2 goofing off. I will say that the few times my brother and I play together it feels like a completely different game. Because at least I know one person will be doing something.

I can enjoy killer for a while but I've gotten to where I find it more dull than anything.

Game may throw you bunch of potatoes that you can go against perkless if you want but don't let that confuse you. When it's a match with decent survivors, you will quickly notice how much effort you need to put in order to stay in the game. Survivor experience compared to this is walk in the park, regardless of the outcome.

Lol people still quoting 60% from almost a year ago.

At this point that number is just a meme number.

To OP

I suggest not playing Killer if you aren’t having a fun time. You decide what your definition of fun is, be it using meme builds and getting 0-1 kills or meta strats and sweating for 3-4 kills. Don’t let others gaslight you into deciding what’s fun. Some people may have a different Killer experience from you, but region/time that you play/Killers that you like will influence the experience that you have.

If you don’t like Killer already, don’t play the role for your mental health. This game isn’t worth it. You deserve better.

idk mmr feels like it is doing its thing to me; if i'm on my main and am constantly winning, matches turn competitive real quick and when i'm playing other killers lobbies i get are quite weak. but for the current "high mmr" state of the game, it's not all that fun and memey that's for sure. there have been a fair amount of matches where i loosen up just to prolong it for points and lost because of it. it feels like there is no room to play relaxed and for fun sometimes.

Potato or chill streamers, people who suicide on hook for whatever reason, trolls, people who refuse to do totems and die to noed, people who are left to die by griefers and so on.

You still do wonder how the kill rate is 60% on average?

If I'm running perkless I expect to have a hard game that's why I do it.

So you're saying playing survivor is now easier than playing killer? No offense but if you consider playing solo queue survivor easier than killer then it might be skill issue. You can literally watch multiple people streaming killer that run random fun builds and non meta killers that barely ever lose.

I'm "dropping" the number 60% because it is the latest and most reasonable number that we have, once BHVR gives us a new numbers I'll say the new one. Personally I don't believe this number makes any sort of sense, there is MMR in this game so the killrate should be 50% - the fact it's not is already an absurdity by itself. It's possible that the game has become so easy that MMR can't even achieve 50% anymore, or it's possible that BHVR data is completely nonsensical and cannot be trusted at all (wouldn't surprise me given that Nightlight killrates have almost always been at ~50% regardless of patch, which makes much more sense).

But the point is, this number was recently at the highest it's ever been, and we're in the middle of an event, so killer gameplay is likely the easiest it's ever been. If OP finds the game hard now, they might as well stop playing already because it's going to be much, much worse in 2 months when the playerbase will drop by 50%.

I don't know what kind of survivors you get when you play, but the ones I do when I play as a killer don't mess around doing random stuff and do play efficiently most of the time, leaving me little room for a mistake. Meanwhile when I play as survivor if killer doesn't try to tunnel someone one out asap or camp I escape matches without too much trouble.

What streamers do don't concern or interest me because the players they get are closer to their physical location and the ones I get are closer to mine. This means my experience can be absolutely different compared to theirs. What I can say for certain is I clearly have much more relaxed and enjoyable experience as survivor than as killer now when in past it was completely opposite.

How many hours on killer do you have? Anyone with thousands of hours has been obliterated by dozens of survivor groups over the span of their dbd career. If you say otherwise you are either a total liar or you play at potato MMR. Learning a new killer alone when they first come can leave you prone to getting destroyed. I don't believe you can count on 2 hand how many times you've been stomped if you have a good amount of hours. Sounds like survivor sided propaganda to me.

If you're not enjoying killer you might want to play survivor or play another game. DBD is finally reaching the closest we've been to balanced especially for the average killer a lot of pain points have been addressed for both sides that make the game frustrating at times.

How weird though when these same streamers play survivor suddenly they barely even escape 50% of the time. By your logic since the game is so skill-based then we should see plenty of survivors with a consistent ~80% winrate too, right? The survivor playerbase is 4x larger than killer, so statistically, you should have no trouble finding several of them, can you even name one? Momo is at 1000-winstreak right now, SupaAlf at 100+, but how weird, nobody is even attempting a streak as survivor?

And the neat part, you don't need to have 5k hours to achieve these results. You just need to play killer and tunnel the f*ck out of every game. I have ~200 hours at killer and my killrate is above 80%. The first time I picked Nurse I won 30+ games in a row.

Oh I'm not even arguing about getting wins or not. I don't care about that. I do get bothered about having a miserable experience whether i win or lose

The 60% number also contains hatch which has 1/2 chance of giving an escape to the last survivor for free. You could have your whole team die at 5 gens and get slugged then have the hatch spawn below you still resulting in an escape. So the killrates are artificially lower due to hatch, approximately by 25% / 2 = 12.5%. In reality the adjusted killrate would be 72.5%. See I can do the same.

The kill rate at high MMR was not 40% or 45%, no. It was 61%, shared by the devs themselves.
