What's The Point Of Playing Survivor?

It's only subjective to those who are disingenuous in wanting a "fair game" like people claim, because if you want an actual fair game, there is zero chance you looked at those changes and claimed them to be fair for both sides. It was entirely inarguable that the changes were simply entirely lobsided. When a set of changes intended for one purpose, extends far beyond that one purpose, yes… they are in fact horrid changes that shouldn't have gone through.

That doesn't mean anti-tunnel or anti-slug mechanics in general are a bad thing, it means the ones they did and tried to implement were horrid.

Hell nor does it mean BHVR isn't incompetent for nerfing things that were nerfed due to the anti-whatever mechanics that didn't get pushed through. But… that's BHVR. I doubt it's "we don't want survivor players" it's "we're dumb". They've showcased that clearly, this is like what… the 10th massively controversial decision they've made in the past 2-3 months with their game?

Ok fine let me rephrase:

It's not objective, and it is subjective. If you liked the changes, you do not believe in wanting a "fair game" because the changes objectively (and yes this part actually is objective) they were affecting things that they were not intended to affect and were never the problem.

Why arent you picking that slug up?

Yeah. I like darks and mids. I'm hopng to do the whole house like that eventaully. Maroon, navy, mustard, plum, etc. Unfortunately everything but the library is still the default gray because paint is expensive and I'm also lazy.

My next smaller project is actually to make a DbD totem mood lamp now that the plastic skulls are back out for Halloween. I haven't found any good bones for the base yet though.

RN? There really isn't one. New broken killer aside, who's only goal is to get people buying cells to purchase her or to grind away for shards to inflate player numbers, the game is pretty awful for Survs rn. Nerfing Surv perks while scrapping the anti-tunneling/slugging system they were going to implement, ontop of buffing some killer perks, the game is digustingly awful to play.

I truly would love to see the Devs livestream their 4man SWF matches against pub Killers, would truly love to see it. I bet they don't even have the stomach to sit through 5 matches doing that, and even less so if they were to play SoloQ.

I hear you there. It's a nightmare. A greige nightmare. 😭

Amazon is constantly having sales on tools. Add them to your cart and save for later and you'll get periodic updates on price fluctuations. Always Harbor Freight too, if there's one near you. The sticks you have to find yourself most likely. If you're around any nature at all, a good hike should yield some. Then you just have to sanitize them to make sure there's no bugs to sabotage it down the line. And hopefully avoid any Karens that wanna yell at you for taking the sticks out of nature. 😵

First sentence "I have no problem".

Second "actually I Do"

I really wish theyd bridge the gap between soloq and swf. They need to add base kit kindred, a call out wheel, self pick up after 90 seconds slugged, survivor perks in pregame lobby, and a ping system. Im just confused how DEAD BY DAYLIGHT MOBILE had almost all these features. Dbd mobile had survivor perks show in the loading screen all the way back in 2020. We’re nearing 2026 and we still dont have important QOL features in the base game.

i have 2k in DBD, 1.5k on killers and 500 on survivors and i almost stop playing cause killers are boring, 8 of 10 games are very easy and survivors are unplayable and frustrating in Soloq, 1-2 of 20 games are ok when you can get a little fun and others are complete wasting time..

Sorry but the game was everything but balanced back then (2019-2020). I've started playing around this time and both sides had so many stupid stuff that was incredible to consider this game had a playerbase.

I remember doing gens in killers face because i had Decisive Strike and even if i got down, i could put the killer into a lose-lose situation with DS + Unbrekable; Medkits could heal you 3 times in 8 seconds each heal with the right addons; BNPs were stronger;

Spirit was at her prime with Mother-Daughter Ring + Amulet; Nurse had range addons; Freddy was weak but could play "Forever Freddy" which killed people with boredom; 3 Hatchets Instadown Huntress was a thing; Ruin and Pop was a common combo; Mori's didn't need a second hook; there was no basekit BT.

People really like to hate the 6.1.0 patch but was one of the healthiest change this game ever received. Many killers were nerfed/rework after this, but people seem to forget.

The only thing i would say is that the game is more and more focused on experienced player than casuals/newer players. But that is something that happens when you have a game with people for 10k hours of gameplay.

The game is in a much healthier state now than it was ever before.

I don’t think people are downvoting you for saying you enjoy survivor, liking the game you’re playing is a good thing. I believe the issue is more where and how you said it.

The OP clearly titled their post about struggling with survivor and questioning if there’s even a point to playing. Dropping in with “I’m having fun” reads as dismissive, because it directly opposes their point without actually engaging with it. Its kind of like if someone vented about being frustrated with a dairy allergy, and the reply was “well I love dairy.” It doesn’t add anything constructive, it just comes across like writing off their frustration. ( I am allergic to dairy and I can't tell you how many times I say that i can't have something because of it and i'm bummed and the person follows up with: OMG i would kill myself if i couldnt eat cheese!! And I.. well what am I supposed to say to that lol it just makes me feel worse. )

Enjoying survivor isn’t the problem. I think it's that your comment didn’t contribute beyond a declaration that you don’t share their struggles. If instead you’d framed it as “here are some of the things that make survivor fun for me, maybe they could help”  that would have been constructive and I doubt it would receive as much negative reactions.

In your follow-up, you leaned into a personal generalization, saying a lot of survivors only think the game is fun if they win. In the context of a post about survivor fatigue, it’s like dismissing others frustrations (including OP) as invalid because they don’t think the way you do, and assuming that the only reason they are unhappy is because they only find joy in winning, which again, is a generalization.

I’m not accusing you of intentionally invalidating like this, I know how text can be really difficult to pull tone out of, so I’m just trying to explain the way it might have come across and why it may have got the reactions it did.

It's cool you’re enjoying the role, GLIYN :)

People have seem to been unreasonably mad after the PTB anti-tunnel and anti-slug changes did not went live.

I'm playing survivor a lot recently it was being fun with the exception of some situations where randoms just throw the match or i get a comp player with a strong killer.
