So I decided to play killer for a week straight....

It's only been a week that you played killer. Do you expect to be amazing as killer in a week? Cuz I sure didn't become amazing in a week. Same goes for survivor. It takes time to develop your own flow as killer. You've played survivor this whole entire time, which helps you as killer since you will know the tricks of the trade that survivors do. You'll even discover more survivor tricks playing killer that you might not have known!

At the moment, matchmaking is pretty messed up so you will get matches that have high disparities in ranks, which are very unfair. However, take the losses as learning experience and see how you can do better in the next trial. I've faced very toxic groups of survivors, but I have found that 90% of them are overly altruistic, so use that to your advantage. Is ruin necessary? I don't think it is if you can keep constant pressure towards the survivors. Yeah, they might finish 2 or even 3 right away, but the match it isn't over yet. Usually a 3 gen scenario happens which works in your favor.

Experiment with different perks and builds for different killers. Hag is a very strong killer that can have complete map control if you play her right. I'm actually glad she's underrated because she can be a complete nightmare to survivor.

Eyyyy PS4 gang : D

For Hag tips, place traps where you think survivors will go, don’t put them by gens since people expect that and always put traps slight away from windows/pallets so you can guarantee hits.

Also, don’t lunge immediately. :)

I'm rank 4 solo queue only survivor and rank 1 or 2 killer. I've found as killer that survivors and maps go a long way towards dictating how the game will go. There are a lot of loops that are safe when the survivor loops them correctly, and you're going to get games where all 4 survivors know how to loop. Depending on which killer you're using, there may or may not be much you can do about it. BUT, and this is a big but, as solo survivor has taught me, many red rank survivors make baffling decisions in their looping and general game awareness. My general view of the game is this: optimal survivors>optimal killer, but you're only going to run into truly optimal survivors on comms about 30% to 40% of the time.

It's hard for me to enjoy killer due to matchmaking

Been playing more survivor because it is relaxing and easy. I just wish the bp gain was the same as killer as that is literally the only reason i will ever play killer.

I thought that was just a cool dance. That's dumb. So that's supposed to be offensive? I don't get it.

Get close and then don’t lunge and just tap attack and track with your camera. You’re much more likely to miss if you lunge.

I've been playing killer for a longggggg time (came from ps4 originally swapped to pc 2 months ago) and since archive forces us to use the other side to complete. I will say I understand survivors a bit better when they say it's frustrating when killers camp, tunnel etc. At the same time, I still to this day absolutely hate the toxic teabaggers who do it just to be buttholes. Especially when you kill 3/4 of them, one manages to get to the exit and teabags then proceeds fo talk crap like they bested you. Absolutely stunning how many dumb survivors there are that have a rude mentality. At the same time there are a fair amount of killers whom are the exact same way. So I feel I can say this.

For survivor side:

I can understand why DS will never be nerfed like killers want it to be. It's the only real way to stop tunneling that I can even see. More often than not I see a lot of tunneling campers who do it specifically if they get looped for anything more than 30 seconds to a minute or pallet stunned for a while.

Killers:

I completely see why we all want gen speed worked with. If I dont have hex ruin I get rushed down hard. Sadly hex for me usually spawns in the middle of the open and is down within 30 seconds. So alternatively I've had to start relying on doubling up with a backup pop and overcharge for some killers. Nothing feels worse as well than survivors teabagging at gate. Completely stupid and unneeded.

I honestly can’t comprehend how someone could solely main Survivor or Killer. There’s a whole other half of the game that you’re not experiencing.

I play both ends extensively..best at both in my group of friends, killer is rough depending on the items and maps you get..killer perks on the most part are weak and so a small percentage if them are considered viable meaning similar builds almost every game..survivor suffers from not a lack of good perks..theres just a few so strong that it overshadows others..I however have my own preferences for builds..the adition of nemesis has made for some good synergy in m1 killers , so it's a refreshing new take on that..the devs tend to make questionable decisions when it comes to killer perks (look at demogorgan ) and "balances" tend to be tragic at times (see oni and nurse) but things are improving..killer is definitely a much harder transition than survivor but both have little tricks to learn

I play both sides, but mostly survivor and I agree that playing only one side is missing out on the other. For example, when a new killer comes out, I usually play survivor until the hype goes down in the first few days and then try the new killer. I always see that I missed something just seeing that killer from the survivor's eyes and after trying it out, my experience as survivor also gets better.

Both sides can be frustrating, but killer seems to be far worse, because a lot of survivors are toxic. Like, you found someone, they drop a pallet and are already t-bagging. Why? They dropped a pallet in the first 10 seconds of being found and think they are good or something? Also waiting at the gates, when everyone is already there or dead is just annoying for the killer. Just leave and end the match.
