Can you guys define a win in DBD?

@ShrimpTwiggs said:
As a survivor I either consider it a win if I escape, or if die and pip anyway. As a killer, I consider a 2k and a pip a win. But as long as I had a fun match, then it doesn't matter all that much, win or lose.

The best / worst part of the game is the end game chat personally. And DS.

As a Survivor : Escape is the ultimate goal, but a black pip and die is fine as well. As a Killer : 2+ Kills is the goal, but just a pip is fine. I’m a little more harsh on myself as Killer, simply because I don’t want to set the bar too low and not be at least a challenge for the Survivors.

i personally think that a safety is a tie and i dont like it honestly. but i respect Your POV Sovererign

I agree with you as a survivor indeed a win is a pip. A double pip means you put on a dominant performance as a survivor, some could say in that case perhaps you even carried the team. For killer getting at least 2 kills really signifies a successful match in my view. But pipping as killer with 4 escapes feels like a loss. Personally I enjoy giving props to the killer or survivor who played an exceptional match. Face campers, griefers and trolls I've learned over time to just never make a comment, I don't like feeding into it and I don't want them thinking about me when post match chat is over.

There are other times where a loss feels like a win, if I pull off a really good juke it feels like a win and something to remember, get tunneled in a chase for most of the match and or camped I depip because all I did was get chased (which is not enough to pip) at least I can take some pride knowing my team will respect the fact I distracted the killer long enough for them all to pip with ease and escape at my expense it can still feel like a win.

i see i see.

If i got skillfully outplayed im fine with the outcome (especially as killer as that is often not the case as stalling is not outplaying me personally) That and a positive end game chat if i lose does not feel like a loss. If not it depends on what they say or similar( in game skill, DS BS( as in bullshit),and others).

Personally Face campers( which was a fixed exploit but oh well) dont make me mad or anything (most of the time) because its very common that the killer feels disgusted or some other negative feeling when theydo it anyways (like me for example).

Ok might be unpopular opinion but I’m not much of a play to win type kind of guy. Like sure I reach red ranks but it’s like there honestly isn’t any incentives to be in red ranks so I take my time. Once I reach red ranks I’m like ok time to play a different game till next rank reset. So I’m just glad to get in a game and earn blood points and shards.

Edit: I have the thanos mentality: I’m rooting for the other team to win for example if I’m a survivor I root for the killer if I’m killer I root for the survivors (I know it’s weird but that’s how I play)

thats rather good. i have games too as a survivor where i am rooting for the killer too (when hes being looped and/or similar but i wont sabotage games(intentionally) of course.

But as killer im like 90% not rotting for them at all (unless they are friends but i very rarely had that situation)

@Someissues said:
As Survivor dying or not doesn't really matter as long as you know you have Pip. Once you have pip you have won

2 kills should not be by any means a win for the Killer, there are many cases where the entity still counts it as a loss despite you killing all 4 / 2, punishing you for killing them too quick, especially with Myer add-ons

and punishing you for the lack of points in other categories due to the games being too quick

Not too bad since you can use those to De-rank anyway

Personally if i 2 or three maned if not 4 maned it does not matter what time it took the game to end. but i will pip (2 man is the safety pip at best part).

I remember i had a PTSD game as leatherface in badham in the fake basement magic house where 2 (i think) SWF (I dunno if they were all 4 SWF) just infinited me for like 15 minutes straight each time i hit them they swiched and it was absolutely horrible. I got 24 000 ish if not more points and a safety pip. But the game was a massive Disaster for me with a 4 man escape. I even got a pick up animation canceled for Some ######### reason. So from there on i stoped caring about points especially since i have all the perks i want for my killers anyways.
But i respect your POV person of the web.

This is a score based game.

Escaping. Killing. Doing gens. These are all just scoring events.

Rank is only about matchmaking, thus pips are not a factor of “winning the match”. They are just there to move you around in the matchmaking que.

Your score, excluding offering bonuses, is what determines “winning”

for me it depends . If i got infinited by the survivor but get like 26 000 BP then i had 0 fun and there fore i lost ya get me?

@Paddy4583 said:
Depends on what I’m actually trying to get out of the match.
If I achieve my target then I chalk it up as a personal win, sod the system

Thats a nice way to see it too.

As survivor a win to me is surviving against unlikely odds. Surviving normally just seems like clockwork and wether I live or die I seem to pip so it doesn't matter to me. Although any game where I'm chased all 5 gens and still escape and actually makes my heart race is a win for me. Or like I'm being camped and someone actually manages to save me and we all escape. Or finding the hatch after the rest of my team was demolished against a good killer. I like those games a lot.

If i get saved at the end from a camping killer i honestly feel bad for the killer especially if the game was a gen rush game ( gens done in 6 mins or less). But i know what you feel as well.

as a killer, i consider it a 'win' if i don't have to walk across the room to pick up my controller before starting another game.... its an added bonus if i can avoid kicking out the screen of my television.... i find victories wherever possible....

LOL 10 Of 10 best reason.

I think Identity V (DBD's mobile version) has it a win for the killer if 3+ die, a win for the survivors if 3+ live, and a draw if it goes even at 2 dead/alive. I like that way of thinking.

Though, I do admit to considering it a win if I pip against a try hard SWF even if only one dies.

From what i have seen Indentity V seems significantly better designed than dbd at the moment so yeah . And it has a casual and ranked mode to boot.

@Blueberry said:
Instead of buffing killers enough to be able to kill they just brainwashed people to think winning is pipping. Unless I killed at least two I failed. 3 or more is a strong win. 

I think its more like everyone has a different view on what is a win hence why i asked that question to the people. But fair enough.

@Envees said:
At this point it would be a game where i did not play the benny hill circle jerk game even if it meant that 3 get out. That is the state of killer for me atm. I play neither of the 3 killers that are able to handle loopers. This would mean that i actually had some fun unlike all games now where all you do is deal with sruv bullshit and run in circles.

But the ultimate win for me atm is not playing the game. No more high blood pressure. No more frustration. I play other stuff now that is actually fun unlike this game that brings nothing but bad feelings and hardly ever any fun as killer due to surv bias who pay the bills.

thats sucks but oh well. Me hopes you have fun in your next games.
