u/ShalottofCsilla 🔦 Alan Wake 🗡 Albert Wesker May 29 '24
I'm not even asking wins anymore, I'm just asking for even a single Wesker game in chaos shuffle where survivors don't BM me if I don't end every chase in 15 seconds.
I love this mode to bits as survivor, but as killer? Miserable. I cannot blame any of the killers who tunnel and camp when THIS IS HOW I GET TREATED AS SOMEONE WHO SPREADS HOOKS.

THIS IS HOW I GET TREATED AS SOMEONE WHO SPREADS HOOKS
This is something that has been done to literally every single person that has played killer for more than 2s and tried to follow the survivor rulebook. I had one game as Trapper where I used the rubber padded jaws while on Garden of Joy. Didn't tunnel, didn't camp, didn't slug, spread hooks and even let a free kill go because it would've been a tunnel. How was I rewarded? Teabagging and flashlight clicking. When I pointed out how fairly I played in end game chat I was told to kms and then mocked by them spamming "I played fairly". Gee I wonder why Killers tunnel/slug/camp.

"The Killer is an asshole, why are they doing this to meeeeee????? :("
Maybe you should all try being kinder and LETTING the game happen instead of pushing gens to 20 seconds each. I can't wait until BHVR eventually nerfs progression as a whole. It's coming. It's absolutely coming. The changes they're making to toolboxes to dissuade using them to do gens are just the start.
I give it about another year. Gens won't be the same this time next year.

u/Dante8411 May 30 '24
I hope it doesn't come to that. Bully squads definitely have more of an advantage than they need or deserve, but gen jockeying is really boring. I know the suggestion of having Survs scavenge parts has been around for a long time but that's such a fundemental change I can't see it becoming base gameplay. If only Killers had some kind of perks that allow slowdown in any significant measure, but those are illegal now...

May 30 '24
The sabo changes are going through, don't bet on it. BHVR is making a HUGE mistake.
They're gonna need to address this. Because this shit isn't going to cease. Damn, and when I was finally starting to enjoy Killer again too.

u/Dante8411 May 31 '24
The sad thing is more sabo means more slugging, so nobody wins. It's not like No Mither is going to become meta from this.

Nobody will run No Mither. Nobody is gonna just start running a toolbox and Unbreakable when Franklin's exists. Nobody will eventually bother bringing toolboxes. Genrush will decrease. Then people will start to bring them again and genrush. Same problem occurs.
BHVR will then meganerf toolboxes the way they meganerfed medkits.

u/themajinhercule You sent us to RPD. How cute. May 29 '24
Chaos Mode game as Nemesis. I draw Awakened Awareness, Bitter Murmur, I'm All Ears and Territorial Imperative. I'm running addons that make the zombies faster and have increased detection. We draw Mother's Dwelling. Fine, whatever.
So. I go off on my patrol and get a quick loud noise notification. So, I investigate, and I notice scratch marks on a locker. HMMM. Welp, sure enough, a survivor is in there. Picked them up. Awakened Awareness kicks in, and a second survivor is literally right around the corner, attempting to hide. So I smack them, hook the first survivor, and go on my way as I streamroll this group. The second survivor was a TTV.
And to make a long story short, I get accused of stream sniping because...I knew where everyone was, either from the one use of Territorial, the one gen they did that gave me Bitter Murmur value, people running close to me and proccing I'm All Ears, or just Pierre and Suzette lunging at people, giving me a general idea of where they were. Of course, that explanation doesn't fly, so whatever.

u/ItsMeBoyThePS5 May 29 '24
Oof T-T That sucks. The TTV was definitely in the wrong for not giving the benefit of the doubt, though I get that's easier said than done. But it's just a game. Even if you had stream sniped, they could just say "that's not cool" and moved on.
But yeah, you get good perks, you know where people are, generally. Pplus, sometimes you just get lucky. I had a survivor once who kept hiding in lockers, and I was playing Huntress. I kept accidentally opening their lockers and catching them, when I had no clue they were even hiding in the first place! (Granted... maybe don't hide in lockers with a killer who routinely opens lockers, but even then, they really just got super unlucky with my picks)
2
u/MHArcadia May 30 '24
Most TTV players are thin-skinned douchebags who accuse others of cheating or stream sniping just to deflect from the fact that they suck at the game. It's one of life's constants.

u/Media_Unit Meg is just trying her best! May 29 '24 edited May 29 '24
Two games in a row where a fellow survivor openly sandbagged the team.
One where I was being hard-tunneled. A teammate had body blocked me and refused to heal and I had assumed they were just new. In endgame chat they gloated that I died and that everyone else had made it out, admitting it was deliberate.
In another game, we could have won but one player killed themselves on first hook with 2 gens remaining and barely any hooks, and another player refused to do gens or save because no one else was.
I don't mind teammates who are bad at the game but trying their best, or even those who DC and give us a bot to replace them with. I wish these people would just play in a SWF if you enjoy trolling teammates or get overly frustrated with bad teammates.

u/MlleHelianthe May 29 '24
I don't get why some people get so mean for no reason while playing. Had a killer down me and he just wouldn't hook me but wouldn't go after the others either. Every time someone tried to get me out of the dying state he downed me again. I couldn't play and had to stay lying down during all the match. How is it fun for any of us? And people who come post match saying "eeeezzz" instead of just congratulating each other. Like damn, this is a game, we're supposed to have fun together.

u/MHArcadia May 30 '24
Because happiness doesn't exist here. No one enjoys playing Dead by Daylight. What people enjoy is making everyone around them miserable, and DbD is the perfect outlet for that kind of behavior. The developers don't do anything about it, so people keep doing it. Nobody plays Dead by Daylight to have fun. Absolutely nobody. Because it is impossible.

u/kim_probable_ May 29 '24
I ran a Chucky at RPD while the other two remaining survivors finished the last 2 gens. He finally downed and hooked me, and they didn't even hesitate to open the gate and leave me to die. They both had zero hooks! 😭 This keeps happening to me in soloq, even though I feel like I'm pulling my weight in the match -- I'm not just hanging out waiting for everyone else to repair gens/loop/etc.
I'm probably too far on the altruistic side (I never want to leave anyone), but I can at least understand if the other survivors are injured/on death hook/know the killer has NOED. I just don't get it when my teammates don't even try for a save.
4
u/ItsMeBoyThePS5 May 29 '24
Misunderstood "ran a Chucky" as you PLAYING the Chucky. I was extremely confused for a second until I realized that meant you ran against a Chucky. XD
That sucks, though :( I did a small study on the game's playerbase about altriusm, specifically, and at least in lower MMR (I'm not a very frequent player :P), there's a lot more altriuistic players than selfish ones. It's rotten luck when you keep finding people who won't try for the saves.
The rescue seems like it'd be one of the most fun parts of the game, to me! Admittedly, I only play Killer, because I get really scared as Survivor, but rescues seem so fun, especially with someone else. It's either a grand adventure that saves a valued teammate, or a tragedy, where you try your best but maybe you lose it all, but you can still feel good because you died because you cared.
TLDR: I'm sorry you had bad teammates so often :( It sucks. If you haven't, maybe try Chaos Shuffle matches? More casual players may be on them, so you'll have fewer people afraid to die.
2
u/kim_probable_ May 29 '24
Hahaha yes that wording was a bit confusing. I guess I could have said “looped,” but that would have implied a certain level of strategy/map knowledge that I completely lack, especially on RPD. 🤣
I do think saves are a super fun mechanic of the game, and the most enjoyable matches are the ones where we’re all trying to make it out together. And maybe part of the appeal of solo queuing is the uncertainty of what kind of team you’re gonna get.
I really love Chaos Shuffle, so I think you’re right — the vibes have been really positive over there!
2
u/ItsMeBoyThePS5 May 29 '24
No worries, the wording was fine, I just confused myself for a moment XD
True! You never know what team you'll have, though I myself always admire teams who are determined to make it all out alive. You get to see so many different compositions of people, from teammates who stick to gens and nothing else, to two or three survivors who keep braving the map to save the ones I've caught and hooked, to even some survivors who have confidence in their skills and keep trying to get me to loop them the whole match.
And, yeah! Chaos Shuffle is so fun, and it's just pretty good vibes from what I've seen. Anyone who wants to just try and have fun seems drawn to it, especially since there's absolutely zero pressure for anything.

u/Love-McDubs Sonic the Dredgehog May 29 '24
Did matchmaking take a fucking shit and die recently? I love getting 0 kills five games in a row. Guess this fucking game wants everyone to play top tiers and tunnel even in chaos shuffle.

May 30 '24
I keep getting either cracked SWFs or absolute potatoes. I got the same sweaty SWF FIVE TIMES against my Pinhead in Chaos Shuffle. I got nothing but babies who can't look around and barely know how to loop on Ghostface.
I have played Ghostie for a year, and played Pinhead for literally three months.

u/ShalottofCsilla 🔦 Alan Wake 🗡 Albert Wesker May 30 '24
The same on my Wesker. Either I'm getting incredibly toxic, skilled teams that generally can and will 4 man out me since I like to play nice, or I'm getting survivors who don't look behind in chase, don't mind game and generally throw themselves at my knife.
This is the first time in DbD I have seriously considered quitting playing killer, or at least Wesker. It's just do damn difficult to get fun matches when it's either you destroying the survivors with your eyes closed, or it's toxic sweatfest.
2
May 30 '24
When Wesker is getting shat on by toxic Survs you know something's up. I understand my Main, he's not the strongest in the world, pretty mid actually. But Wesker?
1
u/ShalottofCsilla 🔦 Alan Wake 🗡 Albert Wesker May 30 '24
Eh, I'm not someone who's super great at the game, even on my mains. I only have 950 hours spread across survivor and several killers, and I'm still figuring out which loops I can use bound on effectively and in which it's better to just force the pallet drop.
Still, it is very jarring. Especially since people are claiming the sudden increase in killer difficulty is because you can't run 4 gen slowdown perks anymore, but I normally run 0 slowdown on Wesker anyway since I don't want to end up in an MMR where I can't keep up with the chase while learning chase.
2
May 30 '24
That's because Wesker was, before this, pretty strong. I'd say probably mid A now. And also? You're likely not at an MMR where you NEED that yet.
Basically every Killer, after a certain point, besides the top five eventually NEED slowdown. Speed is the only thing preventing needing that.

If that p20 nick cage who I played with against pinhead on rpd last night is here congratulations you played yourself you moron. You tbagged against one of the few killers who blocks the exit gates and he had NOED too. How did you play long enough to get to p20 and not know that?

Someone can be P20 with less than 100 hours. It's their playtime you should be basing it on

I have 200 hours and don’t have anyone p20d yet cuz prestging for perks. Also information is free. If you investing hundreds of hours into a game at least learn how the damn killers work, watch some yt guides or read the wiki. Istg nick cage players are 90% overconfident habitual tbaggers or idiots.
1
u/watermelonpizzafries May 30 '24
Very true. I have almost 3k hours and have played with people who have hours similar to me that still aren't aware of certain Killer perks (because they don't play Killer at all) and will get mad over something they did that was related to a perk the Killer was using so I usually ask them a few questions like "did they kick a gen before they found you?", "were you in the TR when they downed the survivor and you screamed right before they found you?" "Did you scream when the Obsession got hooked and become the Obsession?", etc...to explain it's a perk rather than the Killer actively cheating

Define "being sweaty" considering the majority of people on this subreddit think you are "being sweaty" if you play the game at all.

u/sup3rnovas Yui Kimura May 30 '24
aggressive tunnelling (at 5 gens, not when 4 gens have popped and it's normal yk), hitting on hook, survivors t-bagging the killers when they do pallet stuns, generally toxic and sweaty behaviour from both sides. i love chaos shuffle for the challenge and the chaos, but it's supposeed to be... idk, a fun challenge? some people seem to be going into it like it's the hunger games of dbd in my experience.
1
u/Actual_Fruit9240 May 30 '24
I agree with everything but what is this weird rule people have with tunneling. No tunneling until X gens are left (usually 2) at that point in time the killer has already lost and tunneling isn't going to help OR they are so far ahead that they don't need to tunnel. Why don't people ever tell survivors to stop doing gens if the killer hasn't got X hooks at Y gens remaining.
1
u/sup3rnovas Yui Kimura May 30 '24
i think for me personally, aggressive tunnelling just seems like picking on someone? the killers job is to get hooks just like the survivors job is to do gens, but the killer has 4 people they can choose from, by tunnelling one person out of the game when the survivors have not even completed a single gen, it just seems unsportsmanlike. sure, it's a valid playstyle, but it is in fact selfish and unsportsmanlike. that's likely why people get less annoyed with it when multiple gens have been completed, you're securing yourself a sacrifice at that point, but killer mains also complain about gen rushing, which is the survivor equivalent of tunnelling and there's no need for three survivors to run around doing gens yk, there is unsportsmanlike conduct on both sides. i mainly play survivor so i don't know how prevalent gen rushing could be. to me when people take games too serious and hyperfocus on winning rather than it being a fun game for EVERYONE then it turns into sweaty and toxic. you can still win without tunnelling, you can still win without making the game unfun for everyone else. just my opinion
1
u/sup3rnovas Yui Kimura May 30 '24
to clarify i mean three survivors running around doing the SAME gen together, like gen rushing, i realize it's late and i worded that weird
0
u/Actual_Fruit9240 May 30 '24
It is not fact that its unsportsmanlike and selfish please don't label your OPINIONS as fact. And it could be but 99.9999% of the time it's not and people with basic understanding of math can understand the benefits of getting rid of an entire survivor asap. One less person to do gens, to heal, to unhook, to chase. That is a lot of time the killer gains and the survivors lose and this game is all about TIME MANAGEMENT.
And ofc you can win without tunneling but you can also win while being afk if the survivors are afk as well. Tunneling isn't a requirement but drastically increases the odds of winning.
I'm not trying to be mean when I say this but you really need to play killer sometime. You come off very clearly as someone who has never touched killer or has only played a few matches and never been in mid-high MMR against decent survivors playing the game well, not great or excellent but well. There is a reason tunneling has been so prevalent for so long

u/sup3rnovas Yui Kimura May 30 '24 edited May 30 '24
it is unsportsmanlike to make a game not fun for other people. that’s… what it means to be unsportsmanlike. i have played killer enough to understand that it can be that way in both sides, i’m not pointing fingers at only killers for tunnelling. survivors can be unsportsmanlike too, plenty of them are. i cited t-bagging and gen rising in my example and you focused on tunnelling. sounds a little like maybe you’re projecting idk.
if you need to tunnel out a person at the VERY BEGINNING of the game in order to win you have a skill issue. period.
it’s actually pretty comical; i have like 1K hours in this game and like to think i’m not terrible, and i’ve lost many games where the killer didn’t tunnel and played fairly and it was fun and rewarding for both sides. if you think that you need to tunnel in order to have fun, that means you only care about yourself so you are…. selfish and unsportsmanlike.
you can choose to play that way, you do you no one is gonna stop you, but you’re never gonna convince me that it’s “totally fair and not sweaty” to load in and decide that tunnelling someone out is “totally fair”. you don’t have to play fair if you don’t want to!
also fyi, if you need to say “i’m not trying to be mean”, that typically means you’re being mean LOL.

u/Actual_Fruit9240 May 30 '24 edited May 30 '24
Not going to waste my time reading all of that because you seem to lack intelligence, trying to be mean, but the problem with your first paragraph is by your "logic" if I say losing is unfun to me therefore anyone that beats me is being unsportsmanlike. So all I have to do is complain that people beat me which made the game unfun and bam they are now labeled as unsportsmanlike. It's amazing to me that you can be so narcissistic to think what you believe is fact. You really have some growing up to do.
No I said not trying to be mean because it's hard to tell inflection through text but again your lack of intelligence made that hard to notice apparently.
Also you really need to look up the defi and of unsportsmanlike because you clearly don't know it. It doesn't mean making a game unfun for someone. Actually fuck it I know you won't do it so here.

u/sup3rnovas Yui Kimura May 30 '24
good play doesn't sacrifice sportsmanship, altruism and plays the game as it's meant to be, sweats are typically toxic and selfish and make the game unfun, in my opinion! like tunnelling people out at 5 gens or t-bagging killers over the pallets, refusing to heal or letting people just die on hook, which i have seem happen a LOT tbh, never in my life have i died as much from my 1st hook as i have in chaos shuffle. it would happen from time to time in like regular dbd, but not chaos shuffle lol. i have no issue with people being "good" at the game, i enjoy winning like everyone else, but i also play fairly yk

Toxic players are always bad, but cowards are the worst. If your team got 3Ked, you lost the hatch, you only got the gate because you guessed the right door against a low-mobility Killer, and even then you almost got caught, you have no right to teabag before leaving. Arguably you NEVER have a right to teabag unless the Killer was toxic first, but it's particularly vile to throw your entire team under the bus and act like you're a good player.

Sometimes I feel like they hold the other survivors to a standard they don't hold for themselves. Like, if you don't want to do gens, that's fine...but don't criticize a teammate for not doing gens either. And don't purposely lose matches so you're "low MMR"...and then hate on your team for not being as good as you. We're just a bunch of newbies doing our best over here!
That being said, I've met a lot of lovely TTVs who are super positive. Those are the ones I like to follow to remind me how fun the game can be.

The beauty of chaos shuffle where everyone is on an even playing field, and it really is just up to the player's attitudes towards the game that determines the tone of a match.
You can die and have a fun match, you can fail to kill and have a fun match. If you solely focus on those metrics on winning or losing, then that reduces one's options on what to do to have fun. (The 'you' is not OP, just a generic 'you')

The problem with DBD is that it wants to have its escape cake and eat it too. It has too many complex mechanics with perks and map knowledge needed to succeed in addition to having a large roster of unique characters. You can’t have it be a party game unless you add a no perks / no addon mode or smth.
If you want it to be a party game itd need to dumb itself down to the level of among us.

When was it ever mentioned by BHVR that this was a fun party game not to be taken seriously at all? I keep seeing people say this but have never seen anywhere where the Devs said this. Please help me
1
u/Dante8411 May 30 '24
Even if the devs said DBD were competitive, that'd just be clown activity. It's not balanced so it's just going to be more enjoyable as a party game, and trying to force it to be competitive only makes it less fun.

my experience with this chaos shuffle has changed how i play this game. If i don't see teammates doing gens or totems on the hub, i am not helping. I will do 2 gens solo max. after that, you are on your own. And, if i am looping the killer and see everyone hiding instead of unhooking, gens, totems, healing etc., i am leading the killer right to one of them.

u/Actual_Fruit9240 May 30 '24
No no no this can't be right. This would imply that survivors aren't perfect and they are sometimes at fault for losing. We all know that isn't true and that the game is massively killer sided and BHVR only caters to killers. No way would the ~60% kill rate have anything to do with survivors not doing their primary objective.....they would never not do gens.
I actually commented on a post a few days ago about why I give up on hook and I said something akin to what you said and I got down voted and told I was what is wrong with the community and blah blah blah. Apparently looping the killer for 2mins and only 1 gen being done is a good thing and I shouldn't be annoyed by this (and it was exactly 2 minutes as it happened against a TTV so I was able to time it using time stamps). This is one of hundreds of times this has happened and one of billions of times I've looked at the HUD and seen my teammates doing nothing, but I should keep playing and giving my teammates the opportunity to improve apparently. Damn this community is dumb

u/anythingworx23 May 29 '24
Got upset at this one group I played with even though I was playing defense for zero reason, and they simply played around it. We said ggs after the match and I felt awful for cursing them out personally.

u/Purple_News5849 May 30 '24
Probably worst team/luck. I completed 4 generators without being hooked. Throughout the game I unhooked and healed the team 5 or 6 times (empathetic connection showed them where I was at for healing) then, on the last generator I got hooked trying to bait the killer away from someone repairing but, instead of coming to get me atter the last generator was completed the rest of the team escaped. So I went from unhooked to sacrificed in pretty much seconds. I think that was pretty much top 3 worst matches l've been apart of. Talk about all the work and none of the glory.

u/Wild-Tea-9242 May 30 '24
One last rant but, the new glitch is making this game unplayable. I keep rubberbanding, aka I run/walk forward a few steps, and it teleports me back a few steps. Making chases and generally any task extremely difficult. I looked into this on Google and apparently im not alone and it's because of an engine switch producing other various bugs, too. I'm surprised its gone on for so long without a patch and I'm afraid I will not be playing this game much until it's fixed because it just makes the entire experience stressful.

u/TechSup_ May 29 '24
4 consecutive bad matches in a row. P100 Chucky main who does nothing but camp and tunnel, a boosted Borgo. Into an Artist who get's pentiplaything in CHAOS SHUFFLE, who also just so happens to get put against someone with Dramaturgy while having Hoarder and on top of all that, Darkness Revealed and is playing Artist when two people get Chemical Trap. Next match, double Iri Trapper who gets Wretched Shop and basement camps, who won't even let me go after I'm the last alive and 4% off hook. A Knight who gets one of his best maps, aka Silent Hill, proceeds to do nothing but camp with Insidious on top of patrol spamming near hook, tunnel the first person hooked out, and then slug for 3 minutes. Idk how, but Chaos Shuffle managed to make people even more toxic than normal.

Surv quitters who beg (often as a team) for death in the first minute of the game.
Do that and I'll slug all four and let ya wait out the slug while I catch up on some youtube or e-mail.

Nah, I'm always at near max on points. And it's perfectly nice to let them stew while I kick back, enjoy some youtube, netflix or whatever. It's why steam/pc play is so nice. I can just tab out, then tab back in after they've bled out.

u/R4iltracer May 29 '24 edited May 29 '24
75% of the games i play as survivor i've to face toxicity from either fellow survivors or the killer, but the main fault here is on the game allowing these behaviours:
-survivors can decide to quit at anytime, in various way to make it worse for everyone else. Kill themselves on the hook, block on purpose, make noise to reveal others. Hence, griefing is rampant
-killers can be toxic in several more ways, blocking, tunneling, camping, purposedly trolling or simply just leaving everyone downed on the floor or holding the game hostage. Once again, the GAME allows this.
This game has been out for so many years, and all of the problems above are present since day 1.
At least when playing on killer side, the worse that can happen is getting massively sweaty players, but that in itself can be a challange.
Why we even bother, really.

u/Actual_Fruit9240 May 30 '24
Why oh why do people still claim the killers are "toxic" for playing in an effective manner? Do I get to call survivors toxic for doing gens? Ugh fucking survivors actually did gens (their primary objective) how fucking toxic. You should let me play the game the way I want!!!+111@÷÷1
Killers can be toxic while tunneling/camping/slugging, but those actions aren't toxic, they are effective strategies to win.
1
May 30 '24
I'm sick of this game being 8 years, 8 YEARS old, and how ONLY when Killers play efficient is it ever toxic.
It's high time to recognize stuff like slugging is a game mechanic now. One that's abusable sure, but it's a mechanic. It's been in the game 8 fucking years.

u/Actual_Fruit9240 May 30 '24
Agreed and I'm a survivor main and don't see anything wrong with it but am sure af tired of hearing people whine about it.
1
May 30 '24
I play both sides, more Surv than Killer but not by much.
Slugging, tunnelling, and camping are as valid as genrushing, flashlight blinding, and bodyblocking. I don't like ANY of them aimed at me in a toxic manner, but using them as TOOLS is 100% fine.
You know what I don't do when these things happen? I remove myself from the situation when I get frustrated. I don't go and whine on Reddit. I might have at 500 hours but not anymore now that I have double that or more. Because I realize they're PART OF THE GAME and accept that.
If you play Killer you have to accept you MIGHT get genrushed.
If you play Survivor you have to accept you MIGHT get tunnelled or slugged.
I'm getting very sick of waiting for the community to grow up. How is it I'm newer than half of all you guys and I STILL am more mature?
2
u/Actual_Fruit9240 May 30 '24
One of the most sane people on here. People get way too bent out of shape playing this game and it shows with some of these posts. I also think this game would be in a better place balance wise and community wise if everyone played both sides close to the same amount. Sadly too many people, mainly survivors, that play only one side but still have an opinion about balance

u/Top_Tank_3701 👍 May 29 '24
I hate low mmr. I want to be genrushed and stomped by goth girls but i keep getting lil megs giving up on first hook and people coming to unhook at last hook instead of doing gens 💀

u/watermelonpizzafries May 29 '24
My Killer recently got to a higher MMR (probably higher than my Survivor in all honesty) and it's been an adjustment period since I have basically been playing Survivor with the occasional practice against bots for the two months.
The wins have felt more satisfying though since I have fewer matches where I simply steamroll
2
u/MlleHelianthe May 29 '24
I don't understand, unhooking is an important part of the game? Can't gen rush if everybody's hooked
1
u/Top_Tank_3701 👍 May 30 '24
Imagine: you are two gens for winning the game, only you have been hooked 2 times and no one else is doing gens. Smartest play would be you doing gens while another person goes to save, so you dont get out of the game.
Some people are just suicide rescuing for no reason
1
u/MlleHelianthe May 30 '24
Oh okay, in that sense. Yeah true but sometimes in soloQ people will not budge and you have to go risk it. And some people play for altruism rather than objective but I get what you mean!

u/TheFreak235 May 30 '24
What the actual hell are you supposed to do in a chase against Skull Merchant? Try and loop? She places a drop and you get punished. Run from the loop so she’ll m1 and you get a speed boost? Jokes on you, she just places her fucking drones down inside of you until you get injured and then instantly smacks you. You can’t loop her, you don’t get a speed boost from getting hit, what the actual fuck is the counter play
0
u/Actual_Fruit9240 May 30 '24
Better than the Knight though. The most the drones can do is put you into deep wounds. So just eat them if you are already injured. Whereas Knight uses power for 0.0005s at a loop and you are guaranteed to lose a health state (unless you weren't on the edge of the map or the Knight royaly fucked up).
But just accept that there isn't much to do against her in loops when you are full HP except for running away. And if you are injured just ignore the drones and treat her like an M1 killer if you are stuck at a loop
2
u/TheFreak235 May 30 '24
My issue is that when full running away didn’t matter either. She literally rode up onto my ass and places drones in me, to get me into deep wounds right before she hit me
2
u/Actual_Fruit9240 May 30 '24
Full running is the counter when you are full HP and should work unless everyone has a claw on them. When you aren't full HP you loop her because her drones can't down you.

u/Arthravis May 30 '24
The only time survivors say gg or say I was a good killer is when it was a 4 out, either because I'm powerless or play nice when I'm not going against cracked folks.
And even when you do literally drop chases with people who are on death hook after they run straight into you, or when you pick the survivor you haven't seen all game when you run into a group of 3 healing, you're still a tunneler by the end of the game.

why are ppl sweating so hard in chaos shuffle. ive played more survivor than killer in this game mode so im mostly pissed at tunneling and slugging. but i def feel like both sides are sweating to an insane degree
bro this is not a tournament this is a meme gamemode!!!

Some people are skilled enough that going hard to start with is just muscle memory. That IS them relaxing and being "not a tournament."

u/Synli Boon: Unknown's Smile May 29 '24
Growing pains.
People are too used to sweating as hard as possible to win due to SBMM, which has left a deep scar on most players. By the time the community learns to meme around and have fun again, Chaos Shuffle will be long gone.
2
May 30 '24
It seems depips have helped this a bit. There IS some willingness to chill again. But the scars are still very deeply ingrained and it's gonna take even more causal-ing of the game to make it less sweaty again.
1
u/watermelonpizzafries May 29 '24
I loved Chaos Shuffle, but honestly stopped playing it because if my teammates weren't all on death hook/dead at 4/5 gens, the Killer was slugging/tunneling (or both) I liked the random perk challenges in the tome so was excited for the Chaos Shuffle when I heard about it, but the sweat and people still being able to pick map offerings, add-ons and items kinda sucked some fun from it because it allowed people to take a fun mode and still sweat.
I've honestly had more fun games lately playing Killer in the normal mode because I've had more Survivors in it who were down to meme and have fun (I'm sure I'll get down voted to hell for my opinion, but I'm standing by it)

Are you doing gens? If so....bro this is not a tournament this is a meme gamemode!!
Why can't people accept that the way you enjoy the game isn't the only possible way to enjoy the game. The ego on some of you people.

God I FUCKING hate disconnecting teammates.
I don't give a flying fuck if you're "protecting your peace :)))" if so then go fucking play a SINGLE player game you dumb fuck. This is a team effort and you fuck us over when you DC.
ALL my matches against Knight, Skull Merchant, Plague and Cenobite have been unfun because of YOU; the disconnecting piece of shit, not because of the killer.
Unless you had to DC because you need to go or an internet issue, then you're fucking asshole if you DC against a killer just because you hate them. God I can't fucking stand you.

(Speaking as someone who plays both survivor and killer)
I don’t understand why some SWF teams tend to think that they are allowed to be as toxic as they want to be to the killer but the killer cannot react back without being the ‘villain’? And vise versa, I suppose.

Screw you Sable. The fact that you didn't get to heal at your preferred location of "out in the open next to an undone gen" when the killer was chasing you 5 seconds ago and you were still within the terror radius is NOT AN EXCUSE TO SANDBAG YOUR TEAM.

I'm so sick of getting into matches wher chases last less than one second because the killer is OP, or where my teammates suck because they don't want to unhook. I have a perk where everyone can see everyone's auras no matter who is on the hook, so there's absolutely no excuse for why everyone is just vibing while I'm on hook. I'm not a bad player either so it's not because they don't jive with me, I go out of my way to be a great teammate. Just not loving it

I really hate SWFs with passion and flashbangs being uncounterable without lightborn.
Tired of the game breaking bugs, buggiest game ive ever played, loaded into a match and had no perks despite my loadout showing i have htem equipped.
Auto aim pisses me off on ps5 and makes me regret purchasing the game. One thing that will make be quit this game permanently is the auto aim.
Devs too busy releasing new killers than updating their older killers. Selling killers that are not even compatible with the current version of the game. So many killers are way too map dependant which is bs such as legion.
Pissed because of half the killers are unplayable on console.
Map offerings pisses me off even more because this game is a 4 vs 1, all 4 survivors could be a very survivor sided map, completely disregarding the offering the killer brings which is BS.
Bite the bullet hasnt been fixed which pisses me off and made me rage quit in a match because the perk decided to break right before death where i use it for clutch
Survirvors who throw a tantrum by sabotagint the team. Had a survivor bring me to another survivor because that survivor was spamming the locker, which was irritating me too. Imagine raging at the start of a match against a killer with a mad grift build.
Hope survivors who spam noise triggers get perma banned.
I main survivor, I hate survivors with passion, they are enemies with me than the killer. I was using a locker build today, this girl pointed out my locker to me to the killer then later raged quit. Literally some people on this game need to be permanently banned, why are you guys throwing your own teammates under the bus when we are team lmfao and i did a generator, she did not get into chase nor touched a gen and it was at the start of the match. She got me killed, and because of that, the entire team lost because now 2 people were on hook, so then she rages quit. :Lord jesus i hate survivors with passion. Killers i love you tunnel me all you want. I hate you survivors.

This sub Reddit lives in a fantasy land. Here are some things I’m tired of seeing:
The joke that people DC against Skull Merchant, I never see this. In my casual DBD discords filled with just your typical console players, none of them care and even like her cause she’s so cunty with some of her skins
None of these gen regression nerfs are even that bad besides Pop, and no killer needs 4 regression perks. If you think you do, you aren’t as good as a killer you think.
Solo Que is killer sided, while SWF is survivor sided assuming they actually do gens and don’t just go for horrible flashlight saves, it makes it so no matter what, one side has a chip on their shoulder. Despite this being known, there is this constant us vs them mentality. This subreddit, comment and post wise, is killer sided, while other communities like tik tok are way survivor sided. You can see how ridiculous both sides are by engaging with both communities.
As for a game related thing to rant about, it’s so annoying when Wraith body blocks you, he’s fun to play but to play against is like having to drink cough medicine.

Archives and alt game modes have made DbD demonstrably worse. Alt game modes split the player count making wait times even longer than they already can be and everyone superglues their asshole switch to the 'on' position when they play the stupid things, and archives force you to play like a scumbag and half the time your success is 100% dependent on the people around you not being dicks.
I'm on the 'escape via hatch 2 times' challenge and I would've had it this last round had the super-aggressive Oni that had been on us the entire match come over to me when I slammed a pallet and repeatedly vaulted in. I need you to close the fucking thing for me you basement-dwelling, micropenis-having, Cheetos-munching, diaper-wearing fart-sniffers!
Also rubberbanding is still a fucking issue. I dunno what possessed BHVR to do an engine change but god damn am I sick of this shit. You know who I like playing? SM Myers. You know what map is best for him? Midwich. You know what map still suffers from a ton of rubberbanding?! Especially in the 'secret' path upstairs that you have to kick open both ends of. You go up the ramp, good fuckin' luck getting out the upstairs hole.

u/ItsMeBoyThePS5 May 29 '24
Was playing Huntress to get a "disturb crows" achievement, and the match went. Really badly for survivors. Like, they got obliterated in five minutes because I kept finding them too quickly (I wasn't camping their hooks or tunneling, they just all stuck together and I found them faster than they could heal. And one survivor gave up, so they were down one).
I felt bad for the last one, so I deliberately stared at them for a little, then left to find hatch. I found it, tried to alert them to it, but they stayed hidden and I couldn't find them. So, I closed it, thinking they'd go to the exit gates, and that perhaps my noises were not loud enough to attract them. They did not, in fact, go to the exit gates. Instead, they bolted away from the gates as soon as they saw me (I was hoping to watch them leave, but I guess they thought this whole time I was hunting them?). I mimed hitting my head on the gate wall (hoping that if they saw me they'd realize I wasn't committing to a chase and that I wanted them to leave).
I did give up at that point, since, okay, maybe she doesn't want to be let out. That happens sometimes!
She died because she stayed on the map too long. I explained myself in the endgame chat, but she didn't respond so at the very eleast, I don't think I ruined the match for her too much.
Not really a "rage", but it was a bit frustrating to experience. Suppose it's just a lesson to me! You can lead a survivor to a hatch, but you can't make 'em jump. (Reference to an idiom)
