let me see if i understand. after having a event where i could finaly win sometimes because i didn't have to do 5 gens vs sweaty TOXIC killers. now i need to go back to normal dbd and lose 11-15 games before i can win 1 or 2?… man im not sure i can do it.

I would still lose 6-7 matches of blood moon with survivor before i won one, but at least it was fast and easier.

At least i earned some bp man. why bp so low when there's so many characters and killers in this game? i don't get it. Am i supposed to play without good addons has survivor so i lose even more? Wont even touch shards because those are more rare than my wins.

After 1000 hours i'm not sure i can keep going on. i havent noticed any pogress in my player skill since 100 hrs.

Meanwhile killers keep getting buffed. Now i never see a win vs myers or ghostface, yet ppl still want them more buffed so screw me i guess. And legion bro… the killers weak yet he always wins in my solo q's. Good stuff.

the maps i try to learn are eventually removed, There's also way too many map variation and i can't even have fun with perks because i need lithe, windows and dejavu every game.

And god forbid the game tells me how to play vs a killer, i am forced to watch otzdarva to learn anything. Not that it matters when it's one shot perks like devour hope,starstruck, stealth perks everygame to give killers easy kills vs survivors that aren't pro at the game. Idk why these perks are even a thing.

So idk man… It's just feeling bad right now not having blood moon anymore.

And i'm not excited at all for chaos shuffle. I'll still lose almost every game but now i don't have windows or a exhaustion perk.

than add in that all my ingame friends dislike the game now and left. so i'm alone.

how are you survivor mains managing atm? not the ones with swfs that are pro loopers. like the average survivors? You excited to have to deal with ghoul every game on normal matches? I'm honestly tired of this killer already, but ill take him anyday to huntress.

    100h.. maybe a bit more? mostly with legion. I also watch my boyfriend play killer

    If i play killer i'm way too nice tho, i suffer so much on solo q, so i hate giving other survivors a bad game. I do like when i find survivors that know how to play, especially ones that teabag >:3.

    I usually did a normal gen first to avoid 3 gens, ignoring that yes, finding the zones to put the cans was annoying true, still better than 5 slow gens tho :)

    Okay. The killers you hate, because they're "sweating," want to win, not play nice. You can't use your playstyle as a basis for how killers should play, because you're going out of your way to not play your best. Trust me, if the game was balanced around killers doing that and still winning, we wouldn't have a game, because all the survivors would quit. It's better for it to be balanced around killers sweating, survivors sweating, and having an even match, which will trickle down to lower levels of play to where it's even but neither side is really sweating.

    And 100 hours is not enough to understand the role, no offense, especially on Legion who gets the first hit easy. Killers like Freddy, Pig, Clown, etc who can basically just M1 people, they become useless at high level, as in not getting like 4 hooks max before the 5th Gen is done. Other stronger killers suffer that to a lesser extent, but it's still there, because there's physically nothing you can do vs a survivor team who does 5 gens in 4 minutes. Learning survivor is about trying to achieve that gen/time efficiency. Learning killer is about trying to slow that down enough to get kills, or end chases fast enough to get kills.

    I can only assume that your boyfriend is more passionate about the killer role, and wants to become one of the sweaty killers. You could learn a lot from him. It's the thrill of the challenge, the experience of learning. The game is just too challenging on killer sometimes, imo.

    I'm happy for you, not having an adverse reaction to the tbaggers. To me, it's unsportsmanlike and belittling. They're just being jerks for no reason. And many times they do it because they know you can't possibly get them, even though you're the killer and they're just 1 survivor. That's the frustration of the role right there. It's part of why killers go through such grueling training to become those sweaty killers you see now, because they don't want to be the butt of some joke every time they queue up. We'd say the same about killers BM'ing, too. No need for it. The danger is when people confuse gameplay with intention. All toxic killers tunnel, but not all tunnelers are doing it to be toxic.

    I'm surprised to hear you say you enjoyed the blood moon event. Most survivors' first impressions were, "The blood gens take way too long, and loses too much progress from being kicked!" They're easy as pie. It's why I'm so annoyed that my teammates only got some of us out in like 1 out of every 12 matches. How does one even do that? But yes, going back to regular old DBD with its horrid MMR isn't exactly something to look forward to. The key is in fixing the matchmaking, so that your teammates and your killer are of the same level, the same experience, instead of a really sweaty killer and teammates who don't do anything. A fix to that will bring enjoyment back to the game.

    Dbd isn't a casual game, be it a killer or survivor, all you can do here is one of: simply getting good, take a friend or two, stop caring about wins, or outright stop playing

    I'm a Killer main. I can honestly say you guys need a chat feature in solo queue and just get rid of SWFs.

    I play solo queue survivor and it’s been fine as long as I find the right lobbies that don’t have brand new survivors. I don’t keep track of my escapes, but it feels about the 40% average for solo queue players.

    If you’re continuing to struggle, try watching some YouTube videos. That’s how I learned to play survivor better. Also, try playing killer because you’ll see what good survivors do to loop, juke, etc.

    seems pointless. I have seen streamers play, watched videos and know what most killers do anyways. I dont see any point playing killer.

    What so i can get destroyed by pro loopers and learn from them? already see pro loopers play on twitch. it doesnt do anything for me.

    awfull idea.

    but there's lots of things that can help solo Q like screen brightness settings.

    Showing everyones perks on the loading screen.

    Giving survivors with perks like dramaturkey or Deliverance icons.

    nerfed basekit bond, kindred,

    Showing survivors at least 1 gen on the map in case they have no idea where to go,

    Showing survivors the gate… i have no idea why it's turned off.

    Basekit windows of opportunity or a nerfed version of windows as basekit.

    better MMR… i queue for matches in 5-15 secs with survivor. NO. i don't want that . let me wait 1min but give me a decent match.

    Removing the give up on hook. Rework the 4% system.

    Already did all that. I watched around 20hours loop guides. I dont remember much of them. It's too many maps, variations and too much to learn.

    Idk where the 40% came from. because my games alone should had dropped that 40% to a 20%

    i mean you seen videos of killers and pro loopers but they don't do anything for you, yet you haven't tried putting the time in to playing the killers you struggle playing against. Watching people play is very different to playing the game yourself. I don't think I have ever heard of anyone mastering a game by watching others play it. But there are many that master all sorts of games by playing them. By playing survivor 90% of the time your essentially only playing half the game.

    true you might lose a lot as killer at first like I did but after a while I learnt and adapted. 🤷‍♂️ Worked for me, I do fine as survivor and killer. don't knock it until you tried it 😊

    Years ago I was against giving up but now it's different. Play this game however you see fit and don't let others shame you. If you feel it's not worth putting an effort in a match, don't. I say that as someone who sometimes tries his best in a losing game, but also as someone who doesn't if I don't feel like it.

    Good plays are not rewarded when you play solo q often so who cares. At the end, only your fun matters. This is why after a series of bad games I start memeing regardless if others hate me for it. I make killers open empty lockers and yeet myself of basement hooks with wicked.

    I don't owe this community anything and neither do you.

    you seemed to have ignored the part where i said, i don't like killing survivors due to empathy.

    but even if we ignore that, id kill my wallet if i had to buy all killers i struggle against (cuz it would be all of them lol!) but yeah some are worse than others. Huntress is a free win vs me. so i usually dc vs her if she isn't a noob.

  • Prometheus1092

    fair enough with playing all killers but killers like huntress isn't licensed, can unlock her with shards so concentrating on the killers you struggle most with that can be unlocked via shards might be a good start. But if you don't like killing survivors then your putting up your own obstacles and blocks from getting better and it's on you. The tools are available to you to increase skill if you choose to use them, your choice of you don't make use of them. Kinda like refusing to use pallets as survivor then complaining killers are op... 🤷‍♂️ Use what's available to you
