Insufferable killer after insufferable killer
Tonight I got three nurses, two spirits, two skull merchants, two dredges and a wraith. When does the sweat end? I just want one fun game against an actually fun killer who has some legitimate back and forth with survivors instead of “press ability to win”
like can I get a clown, bubba, Myers, oni, alien, Chucky, trapper, blight, ghostface, etc?

Shortly after writing this I just got my 4th nurse game of the night! Me and the random Dwight I was playing with just gave up immediately.
I assume the Dwight also just had a long night of infinite nurses as well…

wraith???????? bro is an m1 killer hes legit free in chase
32 -
Mentioning wraith and dredge when talking about sweat is an insane take
33 -
If you hate so many of the killers why are you even playing DBD? You're very likely gonna end up against someone you don't like.
And calling Dredge and Wraith sweat? What?
31 -
I personally think Nurse, Dredge, and Skull Merchant are fun to face. Wraith and SM are killers people sweat with. Nurse you don’t need to sweat with, she’s gamebreaking and can pretty easily 4K even played casually. Dredge you can’t really sweat with, Spirit you can sweat with.

Wraith is unironically a good Killer.
Dredge is ass. I just sit AFK for Nightfall, it gives me such an awful headache.
7 -
Wraith?
Wraiths are usually pretty chill.
4 -
Not mine, bro. They are brutal and so fast that I dread going against them.
9 -
Wraith is one of my favorites to go against, I think they are usually fun.
3 -
What?? Most Wraith tunnel as hard as Blight. Wraith is one of my most hated killer, Wraith has build-in Noed like Wesker with UW
8 -
Funnily enough, Blight and Wesker that you've mentioned are among my least favorite killers.
But I'm usually okay with Wraiths.
2 -
I wish I saw more singularities :(
0 -
I’m neutral 🫥 with wraith but he doesn’t bother me :)
0 -
I wish I knew how to counter him better. I suck at going against him. Lol
0 -
Literally only one single killer in that list is insufferable, and it's not nurse
If you dislike these many killers then why are you even playing
6 -
wait when did Spirit become a sweaty?
Last time i checked addon and power nerf...
1 -
sounds rough. luckily nurses are rare for me, surprised you didn't get a blight or wesker, too. idk if you included dredge and wraith in the sweat rotation but i wouldn't agree with that.
0 -
With the exception of Ghostface, I really like killers who are more silent on their approach. I think they help a lot with the horror atmosphere the game should have.
2 -
So what Killers do you find fun???
If you don't mind asking
3 -
understandable if it’s hit and run wraith
Most boring playstyle in the game
1 -
You guys really need to tone down the "gotcha", Op mentioned like 5 killers out of 34. This isn't even hot take territory.
2 -
Yeh the three killers I hate are Nurse, Blight and Skull Merchant. The rest I don't mind unless their back to back :[
0 -
Why are you suprised at all? I just played a game with a c-tier-killer and got a sweaty swf. (yes, you cant tell they are an swf, even if they all took a hook offering, and run saboteuer, and 2 had a flashlight. They could still have been solos)
After that, i dont play at all for now, but next match that i play i wont take a c-killer again.
4 -
you can sweat with dredge but its hard to figure out
0 -
Calm down before pressing that start button
Games are supposed to be fun ✨🐽✨
1 -
While I haven’t played in a long while (just after skull merchant dropped) it’s been my experience that Wraiths are probably the tunneliest, sweatiest killers around. The second they hear the unhook notification, they just drop chase and rush back to the hook.
1 -
I been playing this game a long time. I mostly play killer, but I do dabble in survivor. I don't really feel any killer is that bad honestly. That of course Is my opinion. I respect OP's opinion as well as everyone else's.
Killer or survivor I go into the match and do what I can. If I die, get tunneled, camped etc.. I just don't care. As killer if I get swf death squads or just crazy good survivors I just accept it.
This game is too random to think you can win every time. Just do what you can. Just always win and lose with dignity.
0 -
Interesting. I'll say my first ever face-camp was done by a Wraith on Old Ormond, but after years on this game I'd say he was an exception to the rule.
Blights are the sweatiest around, at least in my experience.
1 -
Ever think about why they call the match a "trial?"
0 -
With any luck they'll buff some killers (e.g. Hag) and that's that many more you'll see in the pool.
1 -
You had 10 games against 5 different killers and still didn't have fun. Maybe the problem isn't the killers you faced?
Why didn't you stop playing once you were already upset rather than ruin the experience for 3 other players by quitting?
Again none of this strikes me as a game problem.
10 -
Why would you even play this game if you dislike half if the roster
0 -
Disagree. Dredge doesn’t have the kit for sweating and is too slow.

try aura reading with malthinkers skull but dont hit and run

As long as most M1 killers and other tier 1s continue to be underpowered, Nurse and Bright will continue to be tier 1.

Devs help, I want ez escapes as survivor
Wraith, LOL

“And a wraith”

Survivors are getting stronger and stronger, so playing the weaker killers can be problematic. This is pushing a lot of killers into picking the stronger killers such as nurse and blight.
2 -
It really depends on if you have a coordinated SWF or soloQ that you are facing as killer. I will say that once your mmr hits a certain point, it feels like you see more SWFs, at least in my experience. Then again, mmr can also be janky. I have about 1.7k hours in the game and for some reason I got a 9k hour Dwight in my lobby....I have no idea why. That extreme of a case rarely happens to me, but it still made me scratch my head.
I will say that it can be very hard to enjoy weaker killers once you start to get better survivors. I was once a Trickster main (pre-rework), but switched to Wesker because of survivor haste meta. I didn't even move away from Trickster because of his rework. I just wanted someone with better map traversal while feeling rewarding to play. A killer that had good pressure and wasn't a joke for SWFs. A killer that could be considered more of a threat.
A trapper who faces a full SWF is more likely to struggle the entire match compared to a Nurse/Blight that faces a SWF. This does depend on numerous factors (skill level, perks, the map, etc) but overall Trapper is more likely to struggle. I think people forget why there is such a high pick rate for the stronger killers: Because weaker killers can feel miserable to play with the current state of the game.
1 -
Exactly. If you decide to pass on the meta and still pick weaker m1 killers, heavy regression or tunneling is almost a must. It sucks, but that's the reality of it. Would be interesting if weaker killers inherently had minor objective control buffs built into their kit (such as adjusted repair speeds). S tier killers would naturally have weaker gen control but lower tier killers would naturally have stronger gen control.
0 -
Adjusted gen repair speed is an interesting idea for sure. However, I can still see issues occurring with it. For one, each killer would unequally be affected by things like gen repair speed perks or toolboxes with Brand New Parts. I'm not sure that is such a good idea. Plus, it would be a lot of work for the devs to adjust gen speed per killer if a killer gets an update and is then considered more viable. They'd constantly be adjusting it with each killer update.
I think the solution more so relies on actually making each low tier killer more viable AND balancing maps. I for one am tired of some killers being extremely map dependent. For example, Myers or Ghostface on Midwich will do so much better than if they get Borgo. Borgo is so open you can see the killer from pretty far away. I'm not saying every map should make every killer god tier, I just want more balance. If I lose, I want it to be due to actual player skill, not map RNG or a map offering.
I know the devs are in the process of reworking maps, which I appreciate. However, I really hope they look into The Game soon. That map is god pallet city. I'd also like Badham to be looked into. I'm not even sure why there are so many variations of that map and if basement isn't in the main building good luck getting a survivor to a hook.

Current map design for the devs is more Los blockers. Nerfing those killers and buffing chucky
0 -
Most of the underpowered killers lack the capacity to be buffed to A tier. Their kit simply doesn't allow for it.
0 -
Yes, they are limited with their kits. However, some improvements can help (like when they gave Trapper haste after setting a trap). I suppose it depends on how creative the devs can get with adjusting the existing kits. Otherwise, we would be talking full kit changes.

I just want ghostie to be able to enter lockers. Useless? Yes. Would be hilariously ridiculous for the meme plays? Absolutely.
2 -
I find it funny how the community has still yet to notice
Survivors cry for nerfs>> Said killer gets nerfed>> Community stops playing said killer>> Survivors start complaining about lack of killer variety

Never in a million years would I have thought a killer would eclipse Hag as my least favorite to go against, let alone Wraith..
