I quit

I've played dbd for 5 years now (which of course doesn't makes me the most experienced player) and I finally reached my personal breaking point.

This game is barely fun anymore as a lot of players take it way to personal and serious with toxicity in the game and community being at it's peak.

I played both sides pretty equally (maybe a bit more killer though) and for survivors I can just say: I am tired. It is not fun to be tunneled every game or watch a fellow survivors getting tunneled. Matches are so boring and stale. Every killer feels the same because they get played the same way. Tunneling and trying to hold a 3 gen. The resentment I've build up for these "strategies" is massive. I understand though that it's due to balancing and people playing for different reasons like comp killer vs soloq or comp swf vs average non tunnel killer.

As killer it is just as sweaty. Survivors will do everything they can to annoy you. From flash light clicking and tbagging to vaulting windows far away from the killer for literally minutes to trigger the notifaction. Let's not forget about the exit gate tbagging or ftp + buckle up in your face. The amounts of matches I can ignore that is limited as like every human my patience has limits.

I can 4k survivors even in high mmr without tunneling but it depends on luck and survivors making mistakes as much as my ability to control my killer. I don't feel like it should be that way anymore.

Basically what I'm saying is that dbd became super fast and super competitive. There is zero room for mistakes on both sides and the balancing + toxic survivors lead to killers being more frustrated and starting to tunnel with meta builds. As I said 4k without tunneling is possible but it's dependancy is survivor making mistakes. If they do zero mistakes or you as a killer misread the game once you loose if you don't tunnel. You cannot bring a weak build anymore to try something new because (at least from my experience) people tend to make fun of the killer then.

I do not know what my mmr is and I am not a god on both sides but I think it is pretty high and that's why I am stuck in these situations.

I am the last one of my dbd friend group of 12 people who kept playing. They all quitted months ago. Today I follow them. I took breaks from the game, even for months, but when I came back it was just the same miserable experience. Maybe in a distant future when the game changed I will come back but I don't expect it to.

I leave the fog for good, I joined the Helldivers.

See you around and I hope you still have fun playing the game.
