Looking for Advice/Coaching/Tips, Survivor and Killer

(reposted, idk what happened)

Hi! This might be super long, I have a few issues and/or troubles about my personal overall gameplay and situations for both survivor and killer in game. Note, I am a PS4 player who is currently a rank 3 survivor player, and green/purple rank killer. I mostly play Nurse, Hag, and Spirit on console. I would like to receive some feedback and suggestions for certain situations that happen in game.

First up: Survivor

I seem mostly find myself in a sort of altruistic, team player while I have a comprehensive(ish) understanding of how the game works. I have at least 1,000 hours, as I have been playing dead by daylight since 2017. I mainly solo queue, and try my best to not BM or be disrespectful to killers. I have difficulty dealing with a couple of certain things though...

1. Being Downed/Found First

Personally, I feel like I end up in a situation where the killer manages to head my direction. Recently, I have tried to head somewhere else and preferably work on secondary objectives, such as finding and cleansing hex/dull totems or opening chests. This seems to give me something to do while remaining away from survivor spawn points (where some killers tend to beeline for) but I could spend my time working on generators. Which leads me to another point,

2. Working on Gens with Ruin, Safe and Unsafe Generators

Personally, ruin is something I DO NOT struggle with. I know how to work through ruin, and will personally do so and might look for the totem after getting a generator finished, or if I happen to find the totem while going around the map. I find that I like to work on unsafe generators like ones in the corn as I like to run Sprint Burst to reposition myself in situations as such.

However, once I max out my Lightbringer Category points is it wrong to focus elsewhere?? I feel bad wasting time towards my progression, but I don't mind doing a couple generators to help my team out. However, most of my teammates work on the objective and don't do much else, or really carry the team.

3. Altruism, Teammates, and getting possibly killed

I like to tend on saving the team and making sure someone else escapes if I don't. I do focus on myself when necessary though. I don't really see some efficient plays though, as sometimes another survivor or myself end up on the hook while 3 other people focus on generators until I reach Struggle phase on hook. Even if another teammate gets in chase or downed, they commit to generators, which can result in a harder endgame in my opinion.

I understand there are situations like camping or slugging that can stop me or other survivors from being altruistic, but sometimes I don't know the correct play during that situation. Do I risk my life and go heal that person crawling? Or do I look for hatch and play cautiously?

3. Being Chased, Tunneled/Camped, and Looping

Usually looping can be very tricky as predicting how a killer will act varies throughout each match as every killer you play against plays differently. Running loops like T and L walls really mess me up, as I do not know how to run them properly most of the time. Granted, I can do it like once or twice but I usually make a mistake and it costs me my life, a health state, or distance at the least. I don't know how to avoid these mistakes, I believe how the killer plays and mindgames me on certain tiles leads to these outcomes.

I feel totally helpless if I'm being Tunneled right after an unsafe unhook from a teammate, and I have no clue on what to do. Even by trying to run to a safe tile, I usually get downed and hooked again before making it. Yes, I could run Decisive Strike but that perk doesn't match my playstyle and current go-to perk build. However, even though I get kind of salty, I try my best not to disconnect as it harms myself more and my teammates as it gets rid of free time that other survivors could be using to complete generators/hex totems with. I get there sometimes just are those games, but I think I need to improve as a survivor to prevent that from happening.

If I can, I try the be very efficient while looping, even if that means occasionally taking hits just to extend the loop and get another run or two around it before I have to move tiles, although I might just play safe and use the pallet before rotating. Also, I try to avoid using pallets in the same areas as the previous one, as I will try to go from one pallet to a further one past a good pallet if possible. (bad language :/ ) However, still mess up and end up getting punished for it (obviously) and I wish I had some helpful advice upon that note.

Killer Section:

I have definitely played more survivor than killer, but I enjoy playing killer to take a break and learn how killers think and play to overall improve at both killer and survivor in general. However, I feel like I make a lot of mistakes against good survivors.

1. Finding Survivors

Usually when the match first starts, I'll head to a far corner on the adjacent side of the map where either generators are, or map structures like the killers shack, coal tower, and etc. I tend to not head straight for my Ruin totem, as that's how most survivors find it (if I'm running it of course) as I find it easier to check on it occasionally while patrolling generators.

2. Chasing Survivors

Usually, I'll see how the survivor I'm chasing plays, and whether or not they are susceptible to stain mind games or possible Jukes. Dealing with 360's is kind of difficult on console, but I try my best to bait them by getting up close and letting them spin before hitting/lunging on them. If I feel like the chase is taking too long, is it wrong that I leave the survivor and go patrol generators until I find others? Even if I am running ruin, as some survivors work through it anyways.

3. okay, wig? (NURSE)

I really have a prestiege 3 nurse on console, and I have success with her although I'm still learning the blink ranges..ish. I mostly use Omega-Blink, but I feel like it is fair (in my opinion anyway) as adding extra blinks provides a way to fix your mistakes :/

Honestly, she isn't so hard on console. Mostly though, I feel as if a very good SWF will overwhelm me and I end up getting punished. I usually run Nurses Calling, BBQ, Ruin, and Remember Me on my nurse but some other builds would be cool if you had some suggestions.

I have alot of trouble when survivors start to hide around when I'm playing nurse/spirit, as once they get super immersed i find it very hard to find survivors unless I manage to predict their positions.

4. Very Altruistic Survivors

When survivors are too Altruistic and are always following me while I'm chasing someone, I find it easier to switch targets and maybe slug if things get really bad. I just kind of feel bad though, I shouldn't as it's some sort of counterplay, right?

Final thoughts:

I wanted to say thank you for reading through all of this crap, as I would like to improve in a healthy way and have more fun playing this game. And yes, it does have some problems (not gonna lie, for both sides) I think it's reasonably balanced (to a degree) and if you could leave some criticism, or advice, maybe even coach me or teach me stuff, that would be very appreciated.

Have fun in your games, everybody :)
