I'm back to high ranks for the first time in months and deeply regret it
The amount of bullshit one has to deal with from Survivors and unbalanced game mechanics is unbelievable. If it weren't for the Blood Hunt, I wouldn't play at all.
I'm sorry, but the idiots on the dev team who thought that the game is balanced up there have either never been on high ranks or are proper lunatics, otherwise it's neither explainable nor understandable.
Pretty much everything is stacked against you, map layout, pallet amount, pallet distance, game mechanics, overpowered Survivor Perks and Add-ons.
If there was a button to lower my rank 5-10 ranks, I'd press it this instant. Even if you play 100% optimally, you can't win in most cases unless the Survivors make a big mistake and you can capitalise on it, as much has the no pip squad shown.
And for everyone claiming "but no one ever plays like the no pip squad", I've had 5 such games in the past 15. That's 1 out of every 3 games with a pseudo-no pip squad.

My god, you moan a LOT

Most of your threads are like this. You just posted a thread about you not participating in the blood hunt because you're so fed up with toxic players, and then you post this. What exactly is your goal here, what do you want to discuss? Because I know the minute people start giving you suggestions about things or try to make you look at the situation in a different way, you get angry with them. So I'm not sure what you want to get from posting this.
You don't seem to enjoy this game at all. And you're not making suggestions here, you're just complaining and venting, making the forum a more "toxic" place to be. I don't see why you even play this game to be honest.

Yeah that's the reason I usually take the time and drank, during BP event I only played normal and already climbed jnto purple ranks....DocOctober said:xThe amount of bullshit one has to deal with from Survivors and unbalanced game mechanics is unbelievable.

I think I will have to drank even during the event in order to keep my sanity and farm some more BP^^1 -

I think I will have to drank even during the event in order to keep my sanity and farm some more BP^^I was about to ask if you mean drinking alcohol and was wondering if that would help bearing the burden that is high ranks, then I read it as de-rank.
I'm thinking of going back to slug games, just chainsawing across the map, downing people and then leaving them, not caring if they get up or not.
But then again, that would mean no BBQ stacks.

Yeah high ranks are so ######### I can consistently do well as Freddy without Ruin.

Same here. I've been playing on low rank for fun, now, when Bloodhunt started, I (sadly) managed it back to high ranks and now I remember why I downranked.
1. Tons of pallets close to each other
2. Map layout
3. Infinities
4. 2 minutes = 3 gens popped (despite the Ruin)
5. 4x SC, 4xDS, 4x SB/DH
6. Flashtrolls running around you
7. Salt from the survbois
8. BNP party
9. 4x pallet loopers
10. Salt
11. Salt
12. SaltWhen you dare to manage to kill them all, oh god, prepare your ass for the insults and death threats on your profile.

They're actually make it so your rank will not get reseted as much, next season, at the mid chapter patch :
New rank reset system that will be implemented after the mid-chapter patch. Please give us feedback, I will report it to our Lead Designer.
Rank 1 goes to R10 at Rank reset.
There is a GATE at R15
Once you get over R15, you cannot go below R15 in the same season.
Ranking up below R15 will be getting rid of the DEPIP. Which means you can only go up or stay.1 -
Derank yourself back to Rank 20, I get 4K every game now and it's much more fun than suffering with pellet loops and t-bags

I mean, playing at high ranks isn't the worst thing in the world... but if I tried to convince you that it was anywhere near as fun as lower ranks.. I'd be lying. At least on killer. As a survivor it's the complete opposite. If there was some kind of benefit to being higher rank, I wouldn't mind getting there on killer/survivor every season. Right now, ranking up just feels like a punishment due to how poorly the game's balanced at the moment.

I don't know about anything else than what I told you, sadly.

Killer and survivor are both most fun at the mid ranks, around rank 10. Once you get to red ranks most killers just aren't viable against good survivors, and for that reason it's nothing but Billy and a bit of Nurse at high rank, which isn't fun for survivors.

0_o I somehow feel as though I am a minority playing rank 1 killer. All of my matches save for like one or two have been very respectful and not very try hard. People offering advice on certain things, complementing on others.
Been about the least toxic time I've had in a while playing this lol.1 -

You are the luckies killer in the game then. Where are you from? Maybe people from your region are somehow special.

On PS4 I’m loving being a killer, mainly because if I’m not, I get face camped. Sucks being a community mod for PlayStation on DbD.

I’m a PS4 Nurse Main so... /shrug. As long as I can’t get Looped. I’m good.0

@Zarathos you want me to stroke my ego?
Fine.

Agree with pretty much all you said. The sad part is it’s been like this for over two years. Anyone with a good amount of hours and rank 1 on both sides would agree. The problem is the majority of the community that will come and say your wrong or whining but at the same time have no experience in the matter. Those are the ones the devs listen to unfortunately.2

Problems
A. One escaped.
B. They got all the gens
C. No decisive strike (this is hugely important due to momentum lost if you cant juggle them to the hook.)
D. Many of them are running sub optimum builds e.g. no one left behind,were gonna live forever
E. No items brought in with the exception of a yellow toolbox with sub-par add on's wrench (really?).Props where due
A. It was grim pantry which can be pretty nasty as far as maps goes when playing a low mobility killer.
B. A 3 man is still quite impressive.
C. Freddy doing this well is still impressive and worthy of praise.1 -
I just hit rank 8 and I hate it as the salty tea bagging, flashlighters are there, I'm having trouble playing trapper who is my favorite and have to resort to billy more often than not and there is literally no fun to be had, the whole match as killer youre just praying they dont break ruin, theres not a flashlighter nearby, you can make this hook, the gens arent getting done all at the same time. I feel as though when I play as killer theres never enough hooks but always more pallets and vice versa as survivor, I cant have anywhere near as much fun as I normally do in the lower ranks where people are still human and not androids only seeking to win or piss you off

@DocOctober I feel your pain. I’ve been thinking about going back to rank 1 as Killer (to prove that Hex: Ruin isn’t “required” in high ranks), but you’ve me want to stay at rank 20.
I like to get points, but most importantly; I like to give low rank survivors a fun and impartial experience. (Something that is rare due to Killers acclimating to survivors min/maxing game)
It sounds like this “de-pip” squad has unleashed havoc by spreading news on: “How to “Win” as Survivor”
(It was a matter of time as players got “better”; Not to point anyone out as the sole culprit)

@Master Yeah, hopefully the trapper buff will make him above mid tier since he's my favorite to play

I've seen your history on Steam. You're one to know very well how high ranks are.
Not to be mean, but what did you expect?0 -

Not to be mean, but what did you expect?At least a little bit of change. I've stayed away from high ranks as much as possible for the past year, it's only now with Emblems that I can't avoid ranking up as easily anymore.

The only things that piss me off as a killer now are last second switchers, the fact that the game can potentially go extremely fast, and that some maps have loops that are just completely absurd. Also I think purple myst needs to go.
- Lock survivor builds after 40 seconds. Give killer 20 seconds to counter prep.
- Find some way to put a time minimum on the game of say 5 minutes, so that normal survivors aren't affected but super optimal survivors are forced to slow down so that you have time as killer to do things.
- Close a few key windows and move (not take out) some pallets and things would be all better.

For those wondering about the trapper buffs making him viable or top tier... I've got some bad news. Based on what was shown/confirmed by the devs thus far, trapper's buffs do little to fix his two major issues - unbalanced risk reward (setup time vs potential trappings) and SWF completely demolishing him as a killer. While his buffs are a step in the right direction, this will in no way put trapper above or near the triumvirate of killers (Nurse, Billy, and Huntress).
Here's what will likely happen post buff:
- His traps will still be easily seen and disarmed.
- While SWF can ruin most killers, trapper (and hag) suffers far more due to his play style - survivors have multiple pairs of eyes and free communication to point out his setups.
- Hitboxes of the traps will still be wonky.
- The trap placement highlight will still be buggy and highly restrictive.
- Traps will not put a survivor into the downed state if they're injured prior to stepping in them.
- We will wait another 2 years for buffs.
