What makes you think "I won" in DBD?
Not everyone plays for the escape, pips, etc. I thought it would be interesting to know what the community feels as a "I had a good game" experience

For me, it's the points. Getting a lot of points with zero kills or being sacrificed is a win in my book.

4k as killer
4k is winning anything else is a loss, the only exception is last survivor escaping via hatch.

Points make me feel like I won, good chases (on both sides) make me feel like the game was fun.

Pip-ing up
Pipping for me. I dont need to escape as Survivor as long as I pip. Same for Killer, I cannot bother to slug for a 4K, so I hope I pip with the 3K.

Pip-ing up
I do play as that when I'm a killer, and it freaking gets on my nerves sometimes... Lol
As survivor, I only play for the pip

Pip-ing up
I'm just gonna vote for pipping, as any other victory condition I might subscribe to isn't "objective" in any way and can vary depending on what I'm doing. If you pip, it usually means you did something, if we ignore stuff like doing the bare minimum then camping hatch or how silly emblems can be for killers in red ranks.
I used to be a very everything-or-nothing player. If I didn't escape/4k, then I lost. For me personally it was quite simply not a healthy mindset for me to have, as I'd get really mad at stuff like hatch escapes and NOED, to the point where I could quickly lose all will to play after a handful of "bad games".
Obviously I try to escape and kill everyone, but I'll also sacrifice myself to save someone else and usually refrain from slugging for 4k and such as I'd much rather just get into a new game ASAP. My personal opinion of course.

3k or more as killer
3ks is a win for me but i care less about that as long as i had fun and the survivors got a decent amount of time ingame to get points

Points to a degree. While I'm not gonna go out of my way to farm points, games that end so fast that no one made any points just seem like a waste of time...even if I 4k. Sometimes on games like that, I might "accidentally" drop someone and "accidentally" lose sight of them, so they can go fetch their downed/hooked teammates and we can continue for abit longer.

3k or more as killer
Ah, the only real win.

3k or more as killer
The way I see it, 3+ kills = Killer wins, 0-1 kills = Survivors win, 2 kills = draw.

Same as these guys.
As Killer and survivor, Regardless of how many players die (including myself), Getting more points than all of the other players, and at least 1 PiP is a win in my book.
It's easier to do this as survivor than it is as killer, but it all boils down to the idea that If I did my part, earned good points in all categories despite how the match went, and what I earned is greater than anyone else on the team, then I'm the MVP. I always aim to achieve 25k+ in BP and at least 1 PiP, no matter the role I play. It's just more fun when you can die or the entire survivor team escapes, but you have the most points because your participation gave everybody one hell of an exciting match.

I answered none of the above. Because it changes depending on if there is an event going, how badly I'm getting looped, how badly I'm getting farmed ect...
It also depends on my goal that session. If I'm just chilling I don't really think in terms of losing or winning, I'm just playing. If I'm trying to rank up its if I pip or not.
But if got looped or stealthed for 2 or more gens as killer I just camp and consider even a single sacrifice a victory.
If I'm running Plunderer's it's if escaped with a new item.
If I brought a flashlight it's if I got a flashlight save.
If brought We'll Make It it's if I hook saved and healed others.
It's really dependent on all kinds of things.

None of the above. For me, it's BP. If I earn over a certain amount, usually a goal I set for myself, then I won. Otherwise, I lost.

For me, if both sides had fun it's a 100% win.
If I only had fun, it's about 50% tbh. I prefer having both sides have fun and try their hardest if their team is coordinated. I don't like playing against overly sweaty players, but if the team or Killer is pretty decent or very good and i'm feeling up for the challenge than i'll enjoy it.
If I face overly sweaty killers all the time than the experience isn't fun to me anymore, and the same goes for teams that try... too hard in a game.

Two things, that's all.
Was it a fair game for both sides and did we have fun?
Did I get a lot of Bloodpoints?
That's a win for me.
If all had fun and everyone escaped or died I had fun either way.

Literally just having fun. As survivor, if I get destroyed by a killer who isn't tunneling or camping anyone and is just outplaying us, I'm cool. If I have a few good chases and die, I'm cool. If I escape, cool but I don't need to.
As killer, as long I get some good mind games in and some cheeky hits, I'm good. I don't I've ever got no kills at all so I've been happy with 1k games as well as 4k games.
Pips and rank mean nothing to me. I just want a fun game. To chase and to be chased.

Safe pip-ing
"Won" is a pretty nebulous label, but I tend to accept safety pipping as an adequate performance. I'm merely treading water, yes, but I am not experiencing a setback.

3k or more as killer
for me its escaping as survivor and killing the majority of survivors as killer.
0 - 1 kill is a loss
2 kills is a draw
3 - 4 kills is a win

I wrote in none because the answers vary given the situation. I always find a way to win.
I escaped? I won.
The person I saved escaped and I’m dead? I won.
I got a 1-4K? I won.
I got more than 2 stacks? I won.
I got decent bp? I won.
I beat my challenge? I won.
I got event progress? I won.
I was the only survivor to not dc? I won on principle.
The only times I feel like I lost is if I lose/not gain any bp, if I get <5k bp, if I get tunneled and moried right away, and if survivors bully me or purposely deny me points especially with streamers.

none of the above , I won if I have a good game , something that was neither too long or short , something that wasn't toxic and instead fun , to me that is a win no matter how many live or dies .
Maybe it is because there are so few games that the after math isn't someone trash talking and instead actually talking because they had a good game . for me I play to have a good time , if its too easy its not fun , if it seems impossible its not fun , a win is actualy having fun and not feeling like I have to stress about the game .

3k or more as killer
How I dictate if I win or not is simple. 0-1K is a loss, 2K is a tie, 3-4K is a win. If we went with if you pipped or not then most people would have a less then 50% win rate. The ranking system is bad, because i've gotten 4k before at 5 gens (one died on the ground because I couldn't find him) and I depipped. Ranking system is dumb so I don't go off of it.

Playing the game. Having fun. Playing a match without people being poor sports.

As survivor, escaping or getting the most BP. Or sacrificing myself to save someone else and they escape.
As killer, getting 4k, getting 3k and giving the last one the hatch, getting my BBQ 4-stack, or getting the most BP.
Or pipping, or getting an achievement, or completing a Daily Ritual, or just having a fun match. In DbD, a fun match is something to treasure.
Jeez, this is a complicated game, isn't it.

#1: Getting players safe from camping killer or at least sacrificing myself to take their place, I'm fine with that.
#2: BPs
#3: Pipping until I get to red ranks and then only regrets

Getting all my stacks. Getting a good amount of BP.
Also just having a fun time in the match. Whether that's getting stacks or doing a great chase. Getting an amazing hit/dodge. Sometimes its just completing a steam achievement.
Definitely not about "escape or kills" for me. Not at all. I like the games where it is pretty even in skill level. And it's challenging in a way. Those are fun. "gen rush" and leave or instant 4 ks... not fun.

1 kill or 4 hooks

Making opponent(s) rage (either as a camper, tunneler, looper survivor, etc.)
For me it’s when the killer is too scared to go do anything else so they face camp, which is annoying but reminds me that’s how pathetic they are for a kill

Escaping (regardless of if you black piped or more)
Generally I play as survivor, escaping for me pretty much counts as a win and the pip naturally comes.
As for killer, probably a 3K. I would say 4K, but normally I won’t go to the effort to slug for that. Nobody likes a sweaty killer.

Honestly pipping is the only thing that really shows you won. As survivor you can be super stealthy and do nothing till your team is dead and as killer you can just camp.

If I had fun I won. It’s the only reason to play the game. If I BARELY killed all survivors after I was looped and was frustrated all game then I don’t feel like I won. I could have a round where I destroy potatoes and I don’t feel like I won. Even if one or two escaped...if I was enjoying playing the killer and had a nice round then I feel more accomplished.

Having a good point game is what I consider a win. Even if I die but see I still have a lot of points or more than some who escaped, I consider it a good game and a win for me. I don't try to farm; I just try to do a little of everything.
Same for killer. I've had games where all four got away but I still had like 27000 points and I can't complain; I'd take games like that all day.

I "Won" as long as I had fun and made some good Bloodpoints. Yeah I always strive for a 3-4K in a game, but if I enjoyed the match and only got a 1-2K and/or made a good amount of Bloodpoints....I had a good game
