The game has to be in the saddest state its ever been in right now
Just a reflection after the past few days of playing.
- Previously if the killer didn't like the map they got? DC. It sucked but at least you weren't wasting your time, you just moved on to the next game where people wanted to participate. Now? they're just going afk. So you have to sit and hold M1 for a few minutes before you're allowed to actually play a proper game.
- Survivors didn't like the killer? DC. Again it sucked but at least you could quit and find a new game yourself. Now it's just you and one other survivor left with no real purpose other than a long boring hatch standoff or seeking out the killer in the hopes they just end it quickly for you.
People disconnecting before when they were unhappy was wrong and it shouldn't have been done I get that but at least they were up front and you could quickly find a new game. Now you're forced to go through the motions and finish the mess of a game that's left just to get a new game. It's not fun, you're not playing the game at that point, you're just doing the chores before you can find a real game.
I got my 1st tome 3 challenge today. 5 Gold unbreakable emblems (aka escape 5 times). Know how I got it? 3 afk killers, and 2 nurses on hawkins who absolutely could not maneuver the Nurse on that map at all. Sounds like the community is having a barrel of laughs with this game right?
On top of that the RNG is pretty busted. By the time I had finished 5 survivor games 3 of those were on hawkins. 2 of which were against the nurses previously mentioned, the other was an AFK Myers. Awful map imo and I hate it as survivor and it seemed the killers had no fun too because they were the ones that opened the exit gates. They had a miserable experience and just wanted the game over with as well.
The ranking is all over the place due to rank reset and people are either smashing the other side or getting completely dominated. People either have the game too easy or too hard. Which is likely contributing to giving up on hook or going AFK.
I've never seen so many AFK killers in my time with DBD. Whether it's because they don't like the map or they just want to derank who knows. 1st hook suicides are through the roof too.
I don't know what the answer is. Yes disconnects were through the roof before and needed addressing but it feels like all the penalties do is waste the time of the people left behind. The ones that don't want to disconnect are forced to afk or go through the motions before being allowed to join a new game.
It's not just me. Otzdarva had this yesterday on Stream. Before I stopped watching he had 6 games in a row where a survivor killed themself on hook early. He just wanted a normal game but didn't get it and would have preferred to quit but instead he had to either kill the asap or just go afk and talk to his chat while they did objectives.
How does everyone else feel? are you seeing similar games? where people just give up and don't want to play?
