Killer sadneess

I just want to say.. right now

KILLERS ARE UNFUN TO PLAY

Why?

Well lets say almost all the maps are HEAVILY surivovr sided? every 2meters there is pallet and and often a vault and untill u destroy all pallets on the map there is another.. also untill u destroy a pallet that guy already teabaging at another pallet.. and +10 seconds to EACH HOOK STAGE is just crazy.. i dont know who thought this is good idea when survivors literally repairing even more and gen rushing even more.. survivors are letting that guy on hook going to second stage to repair 1-2 more generators like BHVR ######### is that balance? how can u say this is good? literally generators are flying and the repair time is crazy.. that hook timer just helped gen rush and i still see u doing nothing about it.. i see u ignoring this thing and u letting people playing killer.. its definition of hell

SURVIVOR MAINS

Dont tell me U can get 4 kill as killer.. when u are not playing killers then dont say this.. go with one killer 5-10 games and u will see how unfun the game is.. its heavily survivor sided and its not even healthy… like i thought this game is that u are being killer by killers but all i see killer is being bullied by survivors how is this even a horror game after this? i played few matches and killer

And i dont want to go any further matches after that ones i played.. like that fun is it playing killer.. if u dont want to do anything about it.. then play the killer..

its crazy how long this game is survivor sided.. maps are HEAVILY survivor sided and BHVR just quietly watching and doing nothing.. :)

    You don't need to break every pallet. Learn which ones are "god pallets" and which you can play around - with bloodlust or juking survivors you can still get hits around most of the pallets on the map.

    There are certainly quite a few maps that are survivor sided, but there are also some that give survivors basically no chance. Haddonfield, Borgo, Unknown's map, Rotten Fields... All of these barely have any pallets (very few of which are actually useful) or decent loops in them. In general I agree that map balance leaves a lot to be desired, though.

    But also, don't get too into the mindset that the only way to win as killer is a 4k - and that you need to win every match. Two kills is basically a tie. Three is still a win. :)

    @Valimure was kind and constructive with his feedback to you. I'd take it.

    I, however, am more of a blunt type person.

    its definition of hell

    Take a break. This game does wonders when you take breaks.

    SURVIVOR MAINS

    1: Dont tell me U can get 4 kill as killer … 2: when u are not playing killers then dont say this.. 3: go with one killer 5-10 games and u will see how unfun the game is.

    1: I can, do and will continue to do so.

    2: Im 70/30 survivor. I play killer when Solo'Q is dull or there's a BP bonus.

    3: I ONLY play one killer: Trapper. I play to enjoy the game, not 4k every single time like its the only thing that matters. That would be the way too serious killer mains.

    all i see killer is being bullied by survivors how is this even a horror game after this?

    Well, tbh… you sound pretty horrified at the state of the game for you. Anyway, if you're getting bullied a lot, take a break or plummet your MMR that totally exists. Or get advise from any of your 6,454,541,443 players on the forums who are definitely 100% in top 0.025% MMR.

    GL OP.

    Yes, game is survivor sided as hell.

    Sadly it makes sense from a business standpoint. By being an asymetric game if you favour one side it will probably be worse for the other side. Like, if you buff one side, ofc the other side will be negatively affected.

    Now having said that, which side do you prefer to favour? The one who plays one player alone, or the one that has 4 people (more people to make happy) AND they can also bring friends to play together and increasing the number of players?

    Sadly it has sense that the game heavily favours survivors. The worst part is when people believe the "60% kill rate" myth.

    Imagine thinking DBD is survivor sided in 2024. You're just bad as killer and rather to blame the game but yourself.

    Killer is probably the most fun and easy it's ever been right now, if people are unhooking your players faster it means they are progressing their hook state faster, let people save… the hook timers are to incentivise this, plus its easy pressure.

    Focus less on hook defending, and if you have to pressure the hook do it after a save, you'll get faster deaths that way.

    People have become very efficient on gens past year or so. Even some of my team mates who run into walls can usually at least get us to 1 gen left these days

    Not every pallet is a god pallet, i run dissolution for 9/10 mindgames on every pallet and i dont even chase if their bringing me into a deadzone.

    Learn how to multitask. I chase near gens, i put pressure in specific areas that will benefit me
