Complaints by survivors and killers

Ok guys. I have played about 600 hours of dead by daylight. I want to discuss a common problem in this game...and ik before i even start i might receive some salt for this one. I absolutely love this game through its ups and downs. Ive been here through the rpd updates, through knight and skull merchant. Ive played a lot of survivor and killer alike and want it known i have no bias towards either side.

Everyone needs to stop complaining about the other side. Everyone just play the game to win and have fun while doing it. And dont get me wrong, i understand the skull merchant 3 gen and getting plowed by a blight or nurse...and at the same time i understand facing bully squads and gen rushing teams. What im trying to say is that there is a counter to everything. This game is about a power struggle between killers and survivors.

If u are playing survivor then its requires a lot of practice. Its hard because everyone feels like they are facing nothing but sweaty killers with bad solo qeueu teammates. However we must push on, be the one to save ur team or just keep trying. After u do this enough u will learn how to counter evil killers. Then be the bigger person and show ur teammates what they should be doing. Stop yelling at everyone for everything that happens wrong in ur match. Instead of complaining find a solution and be the change. Be the one to lead ur fellow survivors out of the fog.

Ok...killers....no u shouldnt have to follow specific rules and u should just play to win. However do remember to attempt to let the survivors have some fun too. Personally i love a tight chase 10x more then downing all 4 survivors in the matter of minutes. Yes...survivors will use flashlights and will juke u but u cannot allow it to get under ur skin. Allow the matches to be competitive and fun.

Please everyone...this games biggest problem is the community. We need to remember that it is a game with real people playing that have real feeling and emotions. Respect ur fellow gamers. And while speaking of it...i thought we were gamers.... I thought that meant we like a challenge. So if that killer tunnels u...make em fight for it. If the survivors bully u...dont let them live for it. But most important is to never give up and never give in. I know how it feels to either die instantly or watch all 4 survivors escape. Let it go, correct your strategy, learn some tricks, and when u enter your next trial give it your all. Show them who you are...whether ur a killer or survivor. Take my words into mind and make this community a nicer place to be.

    This absolutely has my backing! Great points, well made.

    However, please may you use some paragraphs to help break the wall of text? My small noggin' struggles to keep track. :D

    Seriously though, the tribalism is a thing but it gets ridiculous after a while. It is just a game and after surviving, dying, slaughtering or whatnot, when the game ends everyone does their own thing and the trials become just some time spent on a game. We're definitely more than just some pixels and winning or losing does not reflect at all on anything in that person's life.

    Yep, paragraphs would be nice.

    But you are right.

    People complain about everything nowadays instead of showing some sportsmanship. In every sport you lose as well.

    Seems reasonable.

    I need to point out one's fun is someone else's torture.

    I tend to play nice with survivors. Especially when I consider them weak.

    Among other things, it means I may start to slug instead of hooking a third time. While doing that I let ample time to heal the slugs. I'll also waste time on risky and pointless moves (e.g. attempt across-map hits with Huntress, blink-less chases with Nurse, ...)

    A lot of survivors seem to positively love that. A few despise it, consider it torture, and rather die ASAP instead.

    One cannot please everybody.

    Ty...and i agree. I would just like people to be more positive and friendly instead of hating each other. Like u said it is a competitive game so people likes vary...but also like u, if one can try to make the matches more fun then the effort is what counts. We cant control the other players but we can control how we respond to undesirable situations. Ty for your feedback and opinion.

    I like how you split your messages to each side, survivors be patient and killers give survivors some fun. As if that doesn't apply to both sides.
