Challenges ruin gameplay
At first I like to have a kind of extra stuff to do to get nice outfits and I finished all tomes in the past and unlocked the riftpass, but now there is the new tome and the most matches are unplayable again...
30% of the matches you see killer who want farming for the grab- or huntress-challenge,
30% you see survivor near the killer and do nothing in hope to get the 60 sec challenge,
20% survivor unhook instand with and without borrowed time,
15% the standard suicide and trashgames
5% chance of a „normal“ match...
Thats really fun :-(
The big Problem in my opinion is, that a lot of player want finish the tome as fast as possible and there are some challenges which are very difficult in different ways for example with the huntress. Sure, for a good player it’s not a big deal but for a rank 13 who doesn’t plays huntress it’s near impossible or there are challenges that force survivor to play bad (kate challenge) or try the challenges more often... I think it’s unhealthy for the game in that way how it is.

Lasty night was first time ever, I literally died trying to open a chest. Had 1 more chest to open for the Tome Challenge (search 8 chests) died but got the challenge completed.
Was I willing to die just to complete it>? Yes I was, and did. I'm getting that chest Bubba, no matter the cost.
That’s what I said, player focus on challenges and doesn’t play for the team... And I think many player do this, because they want finish all and not do it in a normal match
Most challenges are stupid and boring.
For example, the iron maiden challenge, i farmed. First 30 seconds, boom challenge done. Do you really believe that i was going to sweat and tunnel for this challenge? No.
Next challenge: 2 grabs with discordance. I farmed. Easy. No headaches.
I always expect weird plays when the challenges are out. It is what it is.
They can lead to reckless, unorthodox play, that's for sure.
Some trophies, like Take One For The Team, also encourage ButtockHead tactics.

If people want just play farming is just boring... But I can understand killer cause you need for some challenges otherwise a lot of matches.
Sure, it's boring i know. But i'm not gonna play 20 matches maybe more or less who knows, for the grabs or the iron maiden.
Challenges are fun. They change how people play and that's never a bad thing even though some people may see that playstyle as less than "optimal"
I like some challenges too, but if you don’t play in swf (where you know the player) it’s horrible to play this game. DBD is „balanced“ for a team of four survivor and if everybody just do his own stuff in different crazy ways, and nothing for the team, it doesn’t make fun!
