Thanks man
the answer is no.
Started learning oni and nurse on console, been fun but I see my mmr hitting that gen rush me every game. I don’t like running meta but sometimes it feels necessary. I still get angry but it’s more at myself for missing an easy hit. I feel like the hit validation can make people more angry, i know it does for me . For me to have fun is basically try not too care as much. Try learn something new, have a good chase, meet a goofy survivor. I usually stand away from gate because every survivor will try annoy you, I go practice some mind game at shack and other tiles, eventually they get bored and leave.
I stopped playing the game. I used to play killer a lot. But now the game is devoid of any fun when playing killer. I never feel like the kills (if any) I got were earned, I feel like they were given to me. The survivors are so good that they start acting cocky and stupid just to have something interesting happen.
What I do when I just want to mess around or having a bad day. I play Huntress and only throw hatches and dont hook anyone but if they stop trying to loop I'll 2 hook everyone. Because I want to chase and I know they want to be chased. Just sitting there is boring.
Or you could just quit. That how I have fun, is not to play this shit game anymore. My life has improved 1000%.
Only in Kill your friends.
I needed this thank u
I need to photoshop dbd devs on Hillbilly's father's face.
Me: "Look at how they murdered my boy"
Maybe 1/5 games are fun since sbmm. Rip dbd!
not having fun after bhvr murdered my favorite killers
Now you say to not play billy unless we are some kind of masochist but keep in mind, your also playing dbd we are all masochists .
Sounds like an abusive relationship and sunken cost fallacy. Maybe it’s time to play another game.
Killer is unplayable only if its a sweaty team
I’m just going to play VHS instead
Can't loose what you've already lost.
You’re just bad. Played 5 games today as nerfslinger and got 4Ks except for the fourth match which was a 3K and a hatch escape. Get on my level, Noob not listening to an advice from you.
playing killer is absolutely horrible in every way
I'll also never understand killers just steamrolling baby survivors at 5 gens. Like, the game's not ranked, fuck around with the baby survivors for a few gens, give them and yourself chase points. Just sit back and get nostalgic at all the weird shit they do that you used to when you were new. At the end of it hopefully you've PTSD'd them out of some bad habits, you'll have done some dumb techs that you couldn't try otherwise, and you'll all be better off because you know in the next one they're going to match you with seal team 6.
Nothing is making me hate playing the game more right now than boon totems. They’re absolute bullshit. Both their effects are insanely strong, and it doesn’t matter if I snuff them cause they’re going back up immediately.
Don’t even give me the “at least they’re not on gens” 1 survivor not being on gens for 16 seconds isn’t going to lose them the game. Especially when the time pays for itself by forcing me to break chase, or go out of my way to snuff it. If they can spend 16 seconds to waste 6 seconds of my time, then it’s worth it.
It’s frustrating cause A) the sheer amount of survivor mains that insist they aren’t strong is agonizingly annoying, and B) I just know BHVR won’t nerf them for a long time to come.
The best way to enjoy killer is to play survivor.
The very first half second of this video I thought I was watching an Ahzymoz video
Thanks for this video. I've been playing dbd for a long time now. And at the moment I'm on a break from the game because it's really exhausting playing killer right now. I'm a decent killer, I'm proud of my performance but I can't play more than 3 matches in a row now because I feel drained after every game. The way you described it, it's exactly how I feel right now. Thanks again for the video!
I haven’t queued with the intention of playing Killer seriously in a long, loooong time. I almost exclusively farm, or just dick around and try to have fun for myself, like I’ll just have YouTube up on my phone and be paying that more attention than the game, and pay little mind to what the survivors are doing. Let them escape, I don’t care, it’s not worth the stress in this current state to try and kill them.
Recently during this Halloween event, I’ve just been going around squishing pumpkins. Either they realise I’m chill and we farm and play around for fun, or they try to bait and be toxic with flashlights so I ignore them.
You know it's pathetic when the game's reached the point that there's motivational videos for playing Killer for fun rather than being competitive.
It's almost like the Killer is no longer the power role. RIP
dodging is key
Just do what I do and play survivor for the majority of my time when I realized killer is miserable lmao.
This is sad
I have gone to just speed limiter bubba for fun matches now
The super-secret tactic for enjoying killer is to wishlist VHS and play the monsters when the beta comes out. It requires an ultra-rare perk known as Patience but if you're one of the blessed few who've unlocked it, you'll have a much better time.
I've been doing basement bubba all day and we'll I've had more fun than a long time with killer. The salt, wich isnt alot since I'm on xbox and cant see other consoles messages, is wonderful.
It's laughable to me how people keep playing this game. I'm absolutely convinced people would still be playing something they're used to just because they've invested that much time into it even if its developers come out as antivaxers that endorse kidnapping kindergarteners to sell at the black market. Just quit. I'm at the point where I'm enjoying league of legends again just because it's that dramatically less frustrating than dbd. The number 1 game you think of when someone says "toxicity" is less toxic and way more enjoyable than this one. Honestly, what would it take for y'all to leave?
That is the question I was asking to myself for 2 years
I've played this game on and off since 2017 no idea how much time I have I'd guess 100hr or so and ive always left because of some issue typically 30 min ques or just not fun atm buuut I always come back cause the core game is fun the issue right now is a half assed mmr system that encourages toxic and selfish plays and proxy camping along side the fact that op perks and add ons exist. Honestly I'm not a good killer which is why I probably get bullied hard at times but I also ask why I'm constantly getting 2 to 3 red ranks running meta builds. Enjoy the ramble lol
there's only so long I can play a game where the people I'm playing against don't just not treat me like a human, but treat me like they know I'm a human and still want to make me as miserable as possible. I've tried to just have fun in my own way, but every 2nd player wants me to be miserable, all while I'm trying to ignore their shit and still play in a fair way that I'd want to play against as a survivor. I don't see this changing, ever. It is ingrained in the community. I uninstalled dbd about 3 weeks ago, and I'd give the alternate advice that if a game is making you miserable, stop investing your time and find something else. It has worked for me.
What's a good killer for people who don't like to use any addons and just hoard them like an angry goblin?
Darn I was all excited to learn fun new ways to experience this game as my favorite Killer; Hillbilly.
Rember when you didn't have to dodge lobbies and could just switch killers if you don't like how the lobbies looking? Rember when you'd see killers other than nurse and blight? Time for me to go back to go back to an actually fun game like resident evil till next time friends.
9500 hours as a killer main and I’m just now hating killer. It’s so bad now.
You're speaking the language of gods. I hope the devs would see this video
i use to main billy and now he is just nothing.
if u want to play comp pig welp its also do be one of the worst times for her now. the new add-ons are nearly just super useless at high mmr.
head pop pig is now removed due to increased boxes is removed and tempered timer being nerfed. the new punishing skill checks are nearly useless but are fun and sometimes rewarding but at high mmr u must be boosted if u kept failing jigsaw boxes skill checks and the video tape is broken as in it literally won't set off the traps kill time and its one of the worst iri in the game because it gives up ur entire power for the start of the game and leaves it up to RNGesus to deal with them and all ur traps are removed. aswell having all ur traps gone on 5 gens is a really really bad strategy. mostly all of her new add-ons already need to be reworked because how fuckin bad they are. she had not been buffed she had been nerfed af yet again. last thing about pig is that she no longer can not kill hackers most of the time. she use to be the only killer that can actually kill a hacker consistently but now u can't cause u usually now can't put a trap on them cause they have UB. pig is going to the tracks of billy IMO. if u want to know a bit more about the pig check out CMwinter.
if i can what is the least fun thing about killer rn is gen progression and regression, its way to quick to pop 5 gens under 5 min and way to slow too slow down gens. survivors have more gen rushing perks and items that either nearly stay perm through out the entire game or nearly perm. prove thyself is the best gen rushing perk IMO because it rewards u for literally doing what u are suppose to do. then u also can pair it with steak out so while traversing through the map u are passively gaining a token that helps gen rushing, u also have tool boxes and now that u have that perk (forgot the name of it) that can resupply ur charges so now ur toolboxes are nearly perma. if u look at the best gen regression perks there either have to be rewarded or they are temp. HEX: ruin is just bad due to RNG and many info perks but even with it still activated people still can pop gens under 5 min. corrupt intervention is a good perk it stops gen rushing for i would say 2 min of the game but usually every survivor just do is hide it out or they try to pop a gen. its a good perk but when that timer is out u only have 3 perks, costing a perk slot and hoping people actually just did not hide it out or they went ballsy. pop go the weasle is the top best one because its permanent not making u cost up a slot for a temp perk and it can sometimes saves u ur game. u just need to hope that u can actually knock people down. i would of said thatnophobia is a good perk but now that healing is even boosted even more its so useless even making legion a much more of a joke. gen progression and regression defo needs to be looked at.
lastly outdated killers or just plain bad killers. this is what making killers so annoying to play as. if u play billy and see how bad he is u would wish to be buried alive for 5 min than playing as him. if u play legion an outdated killer like legion then u will have no chance in the meta now because everyone has fast healing and his power is just useless now. he literally has so much down sides in his power that gives survivors more pros. like his vault, its so easy too juke and when u put somebody on mending ur vault will be nearly useless, u don't gain anything after hitting the survivor the 2nd time but the survivor still gets a speedboost. u don't see the mending timer but the survivors can. they are other killers that i would say is either is outdated or just bad like demogorgeon, trickster, doctor, pig but they don't even need to be talked about to know why they are bad.
I know you did not just pronounce Meg as mage 💀
You can not both lose and have fun, losing is not and has never been fun
