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.

    Would you come back if they made a gamemode including 2v8 or FNAF chapter that you guys wanted?

    I think new game modes would be fun to try but the experience would be also pretty bad as people would look for the easy way around the challenge by running around the map together with killers like bubba or nurse like in the 2v8 video supaAlf did a while ago. In the 'Lights Out' game mode we saw exactly this. Instead of embracing the challenge a lot of killers just picked legion to bypass the challenge or camped around the corner of the hooked survivor. The game mode wasn't the problem. It was way more fun then normal dbd but people made it horrible sometimes.

    Also new chapters are not really interesting to me as the new killer wil get played the same way as the old killers if his power is not fundamentally different. So no, unless they change the balancing and add mechanisms against tunneling I don't feel like playing this game anymore. It would be sufficient if they introduce it as a new permanent game mode so people who prefer the old way of playing can keep doing so but those who are tired of this stale gameplay can move on.

    Easy to say, but this is kinda complicated issue. I think it is BHVR at fault for most parts by basically limiting options, but players on both side are not innocent either.

    You have this annoying cycle, where one side get stomped, get annoyed and bring it for next game. Then the other side get stomped and repeat.

    How can you see your MMR?

    You can only guess based on playtime of players against you.

    How many cheaters you play against is a good guess too.

    Sadly there's much truth in that second part. The super sweaty area of DBD seems to attract most of the hacking and cheating.

    We wish you well and we hope you find the game that will bring the joy back to your gaming experience!

    But if you ever come back, the Fog will be here.

    Have fun defending Super Earth!
