Ash update: survivors are more obnoxious than ever.
I’ve been doing challenges and I have had several games where the swf just swarm, sabo, gen rush, block, the works.
I really hope dbd has something in store for killers (that’s not a butt whooping) because with FF and MoM, I honestly really don’t blame killers for hanging up their killing boots because it’s just TOO MUCH MAN (quote, Sarah Lynn from Bojack.)
If in the future survivors start to complain about wait times maybe consider the problem begins and pretty much ends with them having too much power while the killer has too little and killers might not want to deal with it anymore.

Sure killers just got plague =)

Oh the same Plague who got unnecessarily nerfed from the ptb and whose design literally screams “hey survivors! Sorry about Legion! Here’s free instant heals!”
You cannot tell me Plague is even as remotely threatening for survivors as literally pretty much any other killer (except Nurse on console.)

I stopped playing killer lmao I played 80% killer and like 20% survivor bfore now im 100% going to play survivor its no fun for killers anymore

Idk we've gotten some pretty solid killer perks in the last year.

That's why I've stopped playing killer, every game since this update has been nothing but hardcore swf gen rushers. I can't even play effectively anymore because of how stressful this game has become so from now on I will be a survivor main until this wave of swf has ended.

And it really don’t mean squat when you consider survivors have:
1 goal easily met by locker hopping
16 perks collective. There’s always more than 4 altogether.
And killers have:
Multiple goals with a lot of caveats, ifs, and buts
Only 4 perks max to cover the multitude of things they have to defend and help themselves with
You’re always sacrificing something with killer load outs - and it’s not survivors because whoops you chose Franklin’s to stop the 4 item group but you’re still being gen rushed even with Ruin (which probably got found or destroyed before you even got to check on it.)

And survivors endure killers who camp, stream themselves camping but this is allowable. Hex:Ruin, Corrupt intervention, Overcharge. And a stand off with the last gen or two where the Plague vomits on them can cause a turtle.
When on my killer, if SWF comes into the lobby, I just leave the lobby. I play both fairly equally and can see both sides.

I agree survivors aren't the most balanced thing but the biggest issue with them now is the SWF aspect. Sure survivors as a whole get 16 perks among them but not every survivor is benefitting from every perk. On top of that, killer perks are often more versatile and have greater impact on the whole of a match. You're right to be frustrated at certain imbalances but this specific aspect really isn't the hill to die on dude.

Survivors are also faster than Killers. Killer = usually 115% Movement Speed. Survivors = 400% Movement Speed.

Survivors who are camped to death have the SMALL mercy of getting into another game. Killers don’t have that luxury against nasty survivors. They’re forced to stay until survivors choose to leave or listen to your idle threat of dcing if they don’t gtfo.
I try not to dodge unless I have had a bad day and don’t want to go against nasty try hards hellbent on causing misery. I too play fair and square on both sides, and therefore because I play both I know that there is a big power imbalance in favor of survivors, and killers need to be buffed. Survivor should not be the easy peasy walk in the park while killers are the ones scared to go past lockers. Playing survivor anytime should feel like how most survivors feel against mirror Myers with an Ebony Mori. Scared and at least feel like they survived by the skin of their teeth.

As killer you have the power to force them to leave. If they aren't visibly in the exit Gate they're nearby. If you're having trouble still, run NOED and/or Remember Me. Stop blaming your own shortcomings on others.

My best survivor game was with me, 2 friends in an swf, and a random. No voice comms. We got all gens done and broke all totems to stop his NOED in less than 6 minutes.
The game hasn't gotten any better in terms of balance.
If the survivors are COMPETENT, the killer loses. Period.

Once again SWF is what causes the problems. When will devs finally see the pattern?

I have no trouble playing killer. If I'm ever bested by a survivor team, that's that. Does it feel good to lose? Of course not. No one enjoys losing. But I don't let that define my overall experiences of this game. A majority of the matches I play, I either 3k or 4k; however, it seems that every killer main I see on this forum decides that a single bad game represents all of the matches they play. It's just not logical. Do certain things still need fixing? Yes, there's never not something that needs fixing in a game like this. Regardless, players on both sides always feel the need to play the blame game whenever something goes wrong, and that's really disappointing. You'd think people would be more above that kind of thing.

I can only speak for myself, but I run into some pretty toxic killers. I would name them on here but I'm not giving them the grace of more traffic to their twitch streams.
1 -
I'm just now loading it up and I see lots of password protected challenges and the DBD one but not what the specific challenge is.
From watching some streams it seems some killers are being just as sweaty so it's not just a 1 side trying to screw the other type of thing.

Yikes.

Your ONE single example speaks for everyone i'm sure. *rolls eyes* This game will never be balanced because nurse is allowed to exist.
2 -
That was after I unhooked myself, dropped a pallet, and made it out the hatch which popped open in front of me while I was wearing a face trap.
Wasn't any great game, no mind tricks. But the killer is salty AF, and bitter I made it out on sheer luck. This is the norm. Hatch blocking then whinging in the lobby, camping and telling survivors to watch youtube and get good.
Killers are every bit as obnoxious.

I wouldn't be to happy about playing derankers if I was new too.
0 -
I don't know about deranking.
I hit my skill checks just fine with the occasional miss. I can't juke to save my life.
For the most part, killers get their blood points worth out of me without threatening to slug camp.

Just stop playing killer. Or stop playing the game all together.
2 -
survivor are mostly just a reskin tho, nothing really special except for the perks which you can unlock for others or just get it form the shrine
0 -
Because killers are saints that are never obnoxious? Right, sure.
1 -
Never said that. I know there are mean and nasty killers out there. However, they are literally outnumbered by survivors who are as well.
You get a nasty killer, you move on to the next game after you die. You get nasty survivors, yeah you can just move on to the next game but vsing them is draining as all heck and you run the risk of getting other nasty survivors - which is more likely than the reverse since survivors are 4 and killer is just some person who you can tell what kind of player they are after a bit in the match with them and get out as soon as you please.

I’m considered a survivor main but yeah it’s a lot more smoother and less stressful.
Matches are made easier if you play with friends or a good swf squad I guess.
Solo is a honestly random as hell either you utterly lose because of bad teammates or win because they were playing decently as solos should regularly play.
Expect lots of hatch escapes if you play solo tbh!!
Replying to those who say swapped from killer to survivor mains.

Honestly I don't see the big deal with this update. Yeah, survivors got a few buffs but these buffs won't make killer unplayable either, actually far from it. I play a lot of killer and it's not that bad, I manage 2ks and 3ks most of the times and that's without me using Nurse. Is it more difficult? If survivors use MoM but when they don't, it's like the patch never happened and the same applies to DS buff if you don't tunnel. Seriously, it's crazy how y'all are saying the game is literally unplayable because of a single perk.
1 -
@Nickenzie The problem is the unbalanced state of the game. If the survivors play well, you can only win with Nurse (or maybe Billy). If I get a 3k or a 4k, it's simply because the survivors made big mistakes.
And now, instead of buffing killers, perks like MoM get released. I totally understand the frustration of killer mains.

@Tzeentchling9 my Claudette has all perks in tier 3 minus Ashley’s perks and I’m stuck at rank twelve because of the new pip system. Does that make me a de ranker?
1 -
MoM has so many counters that you can’t even call it OP. Flip flop will be abused by SWF but THAT group will abuse anything.
0 -
@TreemanXD There are real counters? Chainsaws, hatchets, moris, not hitting the surv so the perk doesn't activate? 😶
0 -
For those saying MoM isn't that good or that this update isn't that good for survivors, here you go: https://youtu.be/2fTOxMBhFWg
Yes, survivors play like this. Yes, they will abuse MoM like this. Yes, the balance is this bad. I'm not that good of a survivor and this is what's possible with even slight coordination.

A question to you.
How many hooks do you need to kill a survivor team? 3 or 12?
1 -
4-12. When playing Legion, most likely 2, because the other two DC. (Thats only assuming all 4 load in...Which is a rarity these days)
0 -
Not sure what the whining is about. Played killer all night last night, even had a full group of Ash. Saw little difference from the norm. 7 matches, 25 kills. One match where 2 got away, one where 1 got away. Flip Flop never came into play. MoM was like having BT active. I just anticipate it. Don't over chase, and keep pressure on my side of the field. Ran Trapper for 5 matches, Pig for 2.
Still playing killer today. Do I get a T-shirt for keeping my will to play?

Oki dokie.
So you need 4-12 hooks to kill a survivor team, because each hook is an individual event the killer works through one at a time.
So. Say four survivors on an opposing team all have dead hard. Assuming they all successfully dead hard a swing, how many deadhards did the killer have to eat to down the survivor team?
