For me it is survivor, I love the chases I love trying to avoid LOS(even though I’m not good at that) I love going against different killers who I have to learn how to mind-game, I actually like doing gens, I love playing around with the perks. I like pretty much everything about survivor.

    I like both roles. It depends on whether I want to stealth around or hunt.

    I like to bury toxic SWF teams as Billy with my insta saw, Ebony Mori, BBQ, Ruin, Enduring and Spiritual Fury build.

    The salt is strong when you play like that :)

    I came into this game planning on becoming a killer main, but I have a lot of fun as a survivor. And when I play killer I'm such a softie. Whenever I get impressed by a survivor barely escaping a hit or gettng out of a trap or duping me with the lockers I'm just like *Spam nod of approval while watching them run off into the fog*. If a survivor drops their item in front of me as an offering I'm just like *Walks around item and watches then spam nods of approval as they run into the fog*. If a survivor flashlight clicks and teabags at me when they know they're going to get floored, I'll just run against them without hitting them while *Spam nod of approval*. Lmao I think I need to be a survivor until I am ready to be a sadistic killer. Because I understand that some survivors prefer to have killers who actually take the game seriously and I don't take the game seriously enough to not be a goofball. If I seriously attempt to murder a team, it's only because I'm bored by them being way too cautious and serious.

    basically 10:40 in this video describes me as a killer.

    SWF > Killer > solo survivor

    Solo survivor is more fun.

    As the killer it depends on what killer I’m playing. Some killers could be stressful to play as.

    Currently killer, playing survivor is kinda burned out for me. It's nearly the same thing since release. Last event was a reason to play more survivor, I enjoyed the to interact with lanterns.

    I find survivor more fun, i originally played this game for stealth. After gaining skill, outwitting the killer is the most fun aspect of the game...with a little butt dancing. Killer's ok, but rather stressful for my liking

    For me, its an even split- though it depends on my mood.

    I like both but prefer Killer because there's far more variance in playing one Killer over another, more customization potential with Perks and add-ons.


    Though playing Survivor to mis things up and not give a ######### and play with friends has it's benefits over Killer which can be a lil stressful depending on what type of player you play against and what map,you're on.

    @Boss Ohhhh Devour Hope is sooo good. I had my Hex Roulette Spirit Build and got it to 5 stacks amd 2 delicious Mori Kills back to back...the last Survivor got to witness their teammate die amd then see me come towards em. Props for em,not DCing, I was fully expecting them to both DC once the Mori started xD

    I like both. It just depends on my mood, honestly.

    Killer, but I'm starting to enjoy survivor a little more now. Not as much fun as destroying SWF as Spirit.

    funnier, survivor, funner, killer

    Survivor is hilarious when you see the hillbilly crash into a wall

    Killer seemingly has the same objective, but its funner to do that repetitive generators

    @Kurisataru 2:40 is how I feel when I play legion with only crutch add-ons and perks

    You can fck around as a survivor.

    As a killer, for the most part, you don't even have time to have fun. You need to keep up with the survivors and apply pressure.

    Also, sometimes as a survivor, you get into real trouble. Getting out of that trouble feels extremely rewarding and satisfy me a lot.

    Survivor, especially solo survivor is the most fun. No insane time pressure (like when you play killer), no worries that you let your SWF friends down... just fun and fun and more fun all the way up to the hook. Sure, I die a lot but that doesn't break my spirit. (That's the part the saltier half of the community don't seem to get.)

    I tend to find killer more enjoyable to play. When you play killer, you get more points than survivors and you also sort-of get to be a scientist.

    Most folks like to stick to a select handful of perks on both sides of the game. The great thing about killer is that it is easier to research and test perk effects than it is with survivor.

    Besides, killer just has more variety in the gameplay style. All of the different patterns provide a real unique way of playing. Meanwhile, the survivor's differences are purely cosmetic (though maybe Jane will have a larger hitbox, who knows?).

    You can easily meme with killer and usually folks are cool with it or you can just test out crazy builds like the "No Fs given Frank (Enduring, Brutal Strength, Lightborn, Bamboozle.)

    Overall I just like killers for the variety and the points.

    I find being chased to be more fun than doing the chasing. I can enjoy playing both roles, but Survivor is where it's at for me.
