Killers: Who do you play as when you're having a series of bad games?
I tend to change killers every now and then cause I don't stick to no killer, but when I'm having a rough gaming night the Entity gets in my head and calls out....
FREDDY KRUEGER!
I own people with him, and cause he's not Spirit nor Nurse survivors actually send GGs post game and I even start giving hatch to the last survivor every now and then.
WHO DO YOU PLAY AS WHEN YOU "WANT TO FEEL THE POWER OF THE ENTITY"?

I stop playing killer because all it does is Piss me off
12 -
Not sure, I don't play killer in enough succession to get a bad string of games. But if I did... I'd play Dwight. And stop playing Killer.

I play GhostFace or Huntress. They’re my no stress, sit back and relax killers.
2 -
I think that's entirely dependent on rank. I love Ghostface with a passion but I just have so much trouble making him viable at purple and red ranks. I'm dipping into Freddy quite a bit now at higher ranks and he has made games a little less sweaty for me.
1 -
I play at red ranks. GF is a monster you’re likely just playing him the wrong way to make him viable. If you’re stalking people, you’re doing it wrong.

What is your perk setup and how do you go about playing him? I'm always kn the search for more tips for any killer because I can always improve. My biggest problem is Spine Chill and getting looped into oblivion.
2 -
It would take a while to type it all out but perks is Sloppy, Thana, Nurses & Corrupt Intervention. You use the power to constantly vanish so nobody knows where you are while massively slowed down and you see everybody healing while nobody sees you, and since you don’t waste tons of time stalking getting revealed only helps you by showing survivor positions. I HIGHLY recommend going to “Tru3talent” on YouTube and watching his GF gameplay videos the last month or so. Very very strong if played this way.

I love playing wraith but playing him for long periods of time leads to this outcome and I end up switching to spirit who's equally as fun to me but is actually pretty strong.
That or I stop playing altogether and take a brake from the game.

If my Killer mains are letting me down because the teams I'm up against are too frustrating, I go with Iridescent Head Huntress with Ebony Mori, or "Pure Cruelty" build Plague (DL, Thana, PGTW, Surge). Huntress just so I can de-rank to the less frustrating ranks while still having fun (insta down + Mori hurts your rank scoring a ton), Plague just because no one ever expects
the Spanish inquisitionher to be as devastating as she truly can be, and that gives me an edge against most teams who refuse to cleanse. I used to go wild with Iridescent King + High Stimulus Electrode Doctor, because "If I'm gonna lose, I might as well make the game hell for the opposition", but that felt a little too petty and unproductive in comparison to the killers and builds I use now.4 -
Yes, I wish you could choose which one to play as, it would give that specific DLC more selling income

Omega Nurse

I move onto survivor rounds. Once I get into red ranks, my only goal is to get my BBQ stacks cuz I don't wanna stress out if I am using another killer besides Spirit
1 -
How do you play him?
I switch to Hag when I'm having a bad day with Spirit, Huntress, or Pig.
1 -
Spirit with prayer beads or I facecamp with Bubba.
5 -
I'll turn off the game and call it a day
2 -
If I am fully tilted and just getting decimated every game?
Insidious Leatherface. Someone elses turn to have a bad time.
7 -
I don't really have a killer for 'bad days', I just throw on a mori. Maybe it's toxic, but I don't have anyone Im really good with yet.
2 -
I play pigiiiiii my Favoruite killer
2 -
Whatever I feel like playing.
Having a bad game and then going all ultra """tryhard""" against people that most likely weren't even involved in the previous game makes little to no sense to me personally.
4 -
Truthfully, Wraith oddly enough. Spamming his bing bong while looking for people is the best way for me to WooSah after a couple incredibly tough games.
0 -
I play nurse or spirit, or just switch to survivor.
0 -
Michael Myers with faster stalk speed add ons and Monitor and Abuse, Nurse's Calling, Sloppy Butcher and Pop Goes the Weasel, if I went against a monstrous demon beast like that I think I'd mori myself.
1 -
Piggy, Legion or Demi Logorgon if I'm struggling when playing Killers I'm not familiar with and it's ruining my enjoyment I'll just started playing Killers that are more comfortable with and main.
If it's happening whilst I'm playing one of those Killers then I just switched to another one. I have three main so switching between them if need be isn't hard
1 -
Im right there with ya, as Freddy is my main too but I like to change it up from time to time. As far as people complaining goes...Ppl will complain about anything. The current hot topic with Freddy is dubbed "The Forever Freddy", and alot of survivors will ASSUME thats the build your using and DC as soon as the match starts cuz its unfun to deal with stacking slowdown perks. In this picture...these guys DCed in under 10 seconds of the match starting.
Even got grief recently about Try-harding and using OP perks on Cannibal, like BBQ, Franklins and Whispers. Side note, with the amount of instaheals being used atm...its so much fun to hit a survivor with Franklins JUST as they throw down a pallet, so their medkit is trapped under the pallet.

Spirit and Freddy.
1 -
A pretty common method with him has been to stack the cooldown addons and just go for a hit and run approach. Stealth up to someone, stab them and drop chase unless your confident you can get another hit in quickly. Go back to stealth mode and see if you can catch someone healing up with Nurse's. Maybe throw on perks to slow healing speeds like Sloppy butcher, so you have more time catching someone mid heal.
2 -
I like taking Billy.. So I can plow into survivors like and angry freight train.
2 -
Nurse.
But then they DC, so I go back to my killer wheel spinner.
1 -
String of bad Survivor games: any killer I'm in the mood for.
String of bad Killer games: Freddy. No mercy, no remorse until it's done.
3 -
My friend says Nurses is what makes GF versatile at least. I want to get good with him because a good GF makes Myers look like chump change sadly.
0 -
This. SO MUCH THIS. Let me punish this random group of people cause I had my feelings hurt by another group. Well great, you're no better than the group that hurt your feelings!
2 -
Trapper.
0 -
There's enough differences between them to let both have spots. I've put plenty of time into Myers to find a playstyle that works for me. Maybe eventually, I'll do the same for GF.
0 -
Me too😂
1 -
If I'm havin trouble with my baby boy Legion, I usually go to Hag. But that's usually only when things get REALLY bad.
0 -
freddy with pop and swing chains and ruin is very very good
I personally switch to spirt, I rarely lose as spirit.. I mean no one does I know I know :D
0 -
Legion only main (Excluding trapper when I started.) Even if I lose it just means I didn't tunnel, camp, mindgame enough.
0 -
I wasnt compairing directly just stating my friend says GF has a better kit and believes he is better.
0 -
I play survivor a bit or a different game
0 -
if i want to feel the power of the entity i play surv and let me get killed in endgame. amazing
0 -
Ghostface. I just hide my terror radius and buuh
0 -
You can't beat the classic englund tho.
1 -
That's fine, I'm not getting defensive about it. Personally, I haven't spent enough time with GF to form an opinion about him. My usual playstyle with Myers though is Abit of a unique one that offers nice flexibility. Pretty sure I can some what emulate it with GF if I use I'm all ears.
Different ppl can do wonders with different killers though. One of my favorite streamers to watch is a Piggy main, and the moves he pulls off with her is nuts. If your friend clicked better with GF than Myers, I'm not about to get pissy about it and say he's wrong.
0 -
Freddy honestly, because his claws are ASMR for me. Like the shing noise it makes when he scrapes them against each other? Or the sound after he hits someone? Instant happiness.
Though, of course, Legion makes me the happiest and is my main. I love playing as Legion, just wish they were better.
0 -
I always go back to Spirit if I've had a bad series of games. She's reliable... especially with a red mori. : )
0 -
I actually miss old freddy as well... not just because I got the Adept with that version, but because it takes skill to use him well... juggling survivors... but survivors will complain I suppose... : P
1 -
If im having ######### games and want to have fun?
Leatherface. Even if i win or lose. I have fun.
If im having bad games and want to obliterate all signs of humanity both in me and survivors?
The Doctor. No stealth. Constant screaming. Hit animation is satisfying. Also Doctors laugh after shock therapy makes me Lol
3 -
When i get tryharder swf or really toxic survivors or i simply dont kill anyone because of things like autoaim or dedicated servers, i bring my cool...
...PRAYER BEADS YAKUYOKE AMULET SPIRIT WITH EBONY MORI and the number of completed generators goes between 0-1.
Never had such a great time playing killer :)
2 -
I pull out my Omega Blink Ebony build lol
Shadowborn, Devour Hope, Haunted Grounds, Infectious fright.
I got for 4 slug, but if I can't get that well ggez Mori time.
