Should survivors just stop playing
Should survivors just stop playing? All we see on the forums in whinging and complaining about ANYTHING and EVERYTHING that a survivor has. Now that Mettle and DS have been nerfed, their onto Adrenaline! What next? Remove self care? Urban Evasion is a cheat for getting away?
Where does it end? 4 kills before a gen is done every match before your happy? Then ya'll whine that there isnt any survivors playing/queue time!

They stop moving when I snowball them and hook ‘em.😈

Dude, you don't even know what you're on about. I was playing as Killer today, and as soon I saw a survivor, they started running away! Like seriously, i'm supposed to kill them but it just makes it difficult for me as a devout killer main smh my head.

Honesty the answer is a simple yes. The killers clearly need more than a 70% 4k ratio.
Maybe when theres no one left playing the game on survivor side it can be killer vs killer. Mortal combat style.

Finish HIM/HER/IT! XD

DS is still as powerful as before, just not as unfair.
MoM didnt have the same luck as DS, and being honest it was just the cash cow so that survivors had to buy Ash to keep up with the meta
Nerfing adrenaline would require NOED to be nerfed as well.
tbh the game has never been this balanced
Killers already had their glory times.
Survivors as well.

Exactly. Killers keep whining and survivors keep getting everything taken away. I wonder how old killer mains are sometimes
10 -
Should Killers also stop playing?
Standing near a hook for more than one second = CAMPING
Chasing a Survivor for a long time = TUNNELING
Bringing good perks and addons = TRY HARDING
Bring a Mori against a SWF with toolboxes and flashlights = GARBAGE KILLER
I don't know about you people, but the first time I got bullied with flashlights and insta-heals still appears in my nightmares. That click-click-click from a flashlight will never get out of my head.
But seriously, the community itself is pretty big. There will always be people who whine all the time. When you are at the receiving end, everything seems broken. I try to play 50/50. Whenever I'm playing any side, I constantly get angry and say "This shouldn't be a thing!", but there is always another side to it.
I honestly don't get the reason why people want to nerf Adrenaline. Who am I to talk? I never used it anyway...

There making bp gains as same if not greater than killer so time to play surv would be now than later in my opinion

People complain, people disagree. It doesn't inherently mean this or that needs to be changed or buffed. People are really thinking they are cool when they complain to the developers about their changes, but they don't think to themselves, "Mine could be even worse."
2 -
I dont think anyone thinks they're 'cool' or doesnt think it through when they say survivor gameplay is usually a disgustingly poor experience. And BPs wont change that fact

Survivors should stop being toxic

Stop playing if you’re not enjoying the game.
Take it from someone with almost 5k hours.
After Legion came out, I think I’ve clocked in 100 hours.. Maybe. The spark is gone for me. Maybe it’s the game mechanics, the community, or a combination of both.
Game isn’t that fun for me anymore, so I don’t play. I don’t buy DLC, and I definitely don’t buy cosmetics.

@Tensor You survivors have the right to complain about nurse (even basekit) but, killers main have no right to complain about loops being too strong with other killers.
You just have no idea what you are talking about, We complain because RED RANK have almost no variety for both side (both perks and killers). Nurse and Hillbilly are the most played for a reason, DS/DH/Adrenaline/BT - Ruin/BBQ/SF/Enduring are mostly the only build we see , Haddonfield/Crotus prenn/Suffocation Pit/Ironwork Of Misery loops being stupidly strong we no counter when well executed.
Do not forget one thing there is 4 survivors against one killer which make 16 perks against 4 perks. Nurse is balanced which make her add-ons overkill same for Hillbilly.
2 -
When only killers play this game (killer vs killer) at last we start seen killers complaining about how op is nurse without addons or asking for prayer beads to be removed.
1 -
Remove self care? Urban Evasion is a cheat for getting away?
I wouldn't complain if they removed self care and urban tbh, more survivors would realize that those perks were slowing the match down 😂
3 -
Nah, they'll just complain about the wait time and say it's 'cause the game's broken and not because people are leaving.

DBD FIGHTING SPIN OFF. This is what we need!

Yes, and please allow killers to use this god tier perk: MoM. It's in good position now they said.

Survivors will be fine

If you're not enjoying the game, then yes. It's what everyone does when they don't enjoy a game.

You know, meta Perks getting nerfed does something great.
It makes people run the next best thing.
And you can then see the potential that this next best thing brings.
I don't think i've ever seen all 4 run Adrenaline before the healing nerf.
Which is great, cause this'll allow devs to decide if it's too strong or not.
0 -
I can see it now, all the survivors in the crowd. Dwight the referee and meg the cheerleaders who are all just meaningless fodder to kill

The meta is as stale as bread you could hammer nails with, of course people are complaining.

But my power role!

A survivor-thread; where survivors gather to complain about things killers never said, things that never happened and to pretend the state of the game is the exact opposite of what it really is.
When are survivors finally going to allow their meta to be changed?
0 -
A bit of history: back in time then the game was "very survivor sided" (as killer mains love to say these days) you had VERY GOOD killers that were actually terrifying and could do a 4k even with faster sc, real ds, easier blind, mpre pallets, less wallhack and instadown perks.
Nowdays average killer is MUCH LESS SKILLED than before, and they understood that everything they ask is being realized, to mention something:
- nerf ANY perk they ask
- make maps smaller and easier for killers (less pallets, better spread hooks, less fast vaults, etc.)
- huge gamplay or killer redesign (EGC, freddy, etc.)
So they will simply keep asking nerfs, making the game less fun and actually becoming less and less skilled as a consequence, in an endless downward spiral.
-
This game has always taken care of killers only (killers DLCs is what brings money and players) and nobody cares about survivors that are basically empty skins treated like NPCs from BHVR.
The sooner you get used to it, the happier you will be.

Well yeah, this is a forum. Forums are designed for discussion and players want their opinion heard and/or topic discussed, whether it is in the form of 'whinging and complaining'.
Your thread is no different then the ones you're complaining about. :/
2 -
Both sides need to stop complaining about every little thing and stop being toxic to each other. Sometimes you win sometimes you lose that is just how games go. We are not making things better for ourselves.
1 -
Wait, I thought complaining and posing as victims was the real game. That stupid app on my Steam called "Dead By Daylight" is just a cosmetic addition.
0 -
Killers have more advantages then survivors only natural to complain about that just like how poor complain the rich has too much same difference.
0 -
The new ask is Septics, Syringes and keys to also be removed or nerfed.
2 -
Last time I checked there were literally dozens of "Nerf Nurse/Billy/Spirit/NOED" threads too on the general discussions section of the forum.
So maybe, just play the game. Or not.

Everyone should play survivor and killer equally

To be fair MoM and DS did need nerfed as they werent good for the game and felt like very cheap easy escapes when the killer was playing well.
The healing nerf already went through and it did sort of backfire as now we have the "non heal meta". Horvath actually discussed it many times and the devs held off on chaning it for a long period. He mentioned a few times they wanted people to heal as it took them off gens.
There have been a few nerfs of late.
The PIG RBT was needed due to it countering what the EGC was designed to do which was to end the the game quicker and not to give free kills. I do think they need to look at the pigs ability for map pressure and buff her stealth and ambush capabilities to compensate for the end game change.
Overall it was the players that adopted the Pig traps for the end game and while it was aknowledged as a good strat by design they were initially thought of as a way to slow the game down before that stage and very rarely kill.
Ghostface's 8% change was done as it was inconsistent with how it worked which could in part have been down to connection to the host. You could stare right at him and it wouldnt work but getting a glimpse out of a window when you werent even sure where he was did. I do think he need some buffs in other departments such as his stealth and more map pressure capabilities.
MoM well we all knew it was going to be nerfed as it affected the weaker M1 killers more. While it was overnerfed I think it needed a change quickly or it would create too much frustration when your skill or knowledge had no bearing on the outcome of it and it also had no counter play.
DS needed changed as it was again a perk which punished someone for playing well and the survivor for playing weak with dribbling being the only counter play but then it wasted more time so they ended up slugged. with the change it actually has counter play and works for what survivors have asked for for some time. A way to help with tunnelling.
Many people dont like some changes and instantly complain but they are needed once you take a step back and think about it. Complaints generally happen when it affects someone directly and they feel there was nothing they could do when in reality there probably was they just didnt notice what it was. Then you have the people that jump on the bandwagon.
There have always been constant complaints about certain perks over the years.
Survivors - Self Care, DS, Adrenaline, SB etc
Killers - Ruin, NOED, BBQ etc
Its just when a new perk comes about such as MoM the conversation moves to that as its the most in need of a change.
While I think most perks are fine as they are that doesnt mean a logical change that someones think of cant make them more balanced overall.
The devs do take feedback into consideration but they also do what they think is best for the game. They interact well with the community and explain the reasoning for changes which is a lot more than can be said for a lot of other game devs.

LMAO...because the game is so balanced I experience survivor queue times between 1 and 3 s and killer queue times of 5-25 minutes. Hahahaha

You perhaps live in a killer-heavy area.
My experience is exactly the opposite. Can barely get matches as survivor. Can't even do my dailies.
0 -
That is...hilariously false.

That's why I don't care about opinions of Survivor or Killer Mains, because their opinions make no sense and it's only whining and crying. I just respect people who have experience and play both sides, that's it.
"Camper", "Tunneler", "Garbage Killer", "Noed Abusers" (Well, just spend more time on secondary objectives which is called a Totem): I don't care
"Gen Rushers", Pallet Loopers?", "Adrenaline Crutchers" (even if it's an pretty strong Perk, but if the Killer manages to kill all before the last gen pops it's kinda useless): This kind of whining and crying won't respect anyone and it won't care anyone.
I can recognize if someone has experience and knows what they're talking about and that's the only thing which I respect and support in this community, nothing else.

4 survivors against 1 killer? Lmfao. Please just stop. You guys get a weapon to make up for that

Doesn't matter if a survivor is toxic or not, killers will still kick them just the same.
0 -
That's the average stupid human, complains about everything without using any brain cells just to get attention. Because you know, doing stupid things is always easy.

I see I've hit a nerve with the salty killers with this one
1 -
One hit down hatchets. Remove them
One hit down after intoxication. Ban it
Fairs fair right killer mains?

Whining about survivors? Have you looked at the discussion board? At least 5 on nerfing the nurse alone, and about another 5 on noed. Lmao
0 -
You know damn well that is a rarity.
