It has always been and always will be not a priority of the devs to make Killer a rewarding and enjoyable experience.

    But this time we actually play something else for real and this is what the actual game director ask for it!

    I know that was shady af, but I always laugh when he says it. He’s right , it’s a game. People need to relax a bit.

    Don't worry Mathieu! I already have found some games I have more fun playing that DbD!

    All of your decisions only make me play them more! Keep it up!

    Here's another fun thing for killer players to do. Not simply switching to survivor, but playing survivor and sandbagging all your teammates so the killer has a chance. This Ruin change will lead to all sorts of toxic gameplay behaviour.

    I started with survivor and found it boring. Like it has its moments. You play survivor and you rank up. It’s really tough to rank up as killer. You’ll notice that in ranks the lower ranks have all the killers.high ranks have the same couple killers. Adept killers are somewhat impossible. I get adept survivors almost immediately.

    The killers have the best cosmetic. I buy a LOT of killer cosmetics. You’d think they’d want to help killers out here. Or is our money not worth anything.

    I will say them hiding the ranks during end game tally is appalling. (Fixing match making is way to tough. Let’s just hide the ranks to get around it. Lord knows we need to start funnelling those low rank killers into Hugh rank survivor matches) I can’t tell you how many times as of late I’ve been in a match and find out I’m rank 13 killer against rank 3 survivors....woo, fun match. Then they get their rocks off by tea bagging by the exitgate. Sure wish they’d allow killers to just open the door and let them leave any time in the match. I sometimes open the door in the end game collapse and survivors don’t get the hint, get out, I’m done. Like take the hint.

    Yeah and this dumb dumb is the reason why whenever I actually feel like playing survivor, espeically swf, the killers lobby dodge or dc for most of our games. Just last night I tried to play swf and killers lobby dodged us for 3 hours straight until I had the genius Idea to go in as a default dwight with no items and another player went as a baby meg. then all of a sudden killers stopped lobby dodging. Mind you this is a team of 3 rank 1s and 1 rank 7 by their own skill, not swf boosting. Even red rank killers didnt want to deal with the STRESS of 4 man swf.

    Out of 4 hours of trying to play swf only 2 killers did not DC or lobby dodge, but one of them gave up midway through and tried to farm. He tells killers to play survivor for a while like he doesn't know their stats show that most if not all killer mains play survivor a lot more than survivor mains play killer.

    At least before nerfing killers some more, have the decency to fix the sounds so killers can track survivors directly next to them or on the other side of the wall. And remove the delay before scratch marks appear so survivors don't have to make 2-3 step distance before the scratchmarks finally appear since they need so much more power.

    It's like to work as a tester and game designer at bhvr you have to be more interested in making the killers play like bots so survivors can have a causal game and keep spending money on cosmetics while killer mains keep getting every killer nerfed right after the purchase.
