killers are too op
i downloaded dbd exactly 6 days ago and have been playing it a lot. i first started as a survivor and didn’t do so well. i’m rank 12 now and one thing i’ve noticed is that the win rate as a survivor is like 10-15%. i definitely don’t think i’m bad at the game, i almost always get max escape/bold points, do 1-3 gens, unhook 2 + survivors, but somehow rarely escape. today i tried killer for the first time to try and prove my theory i played as the huntress. and won 4 games in a row, clearly i’m on to something.
or am i just REALLY good at killer and bad at survivor?
there are a couple killers who i find over powered from the ones i’ve versed so far:
1. nurse: the girl comes flying at u from half way across the map
2. spirit: too confusing i have no idea how the hell
3. vomit girl: when there’s 3 more gens she just throws up on them and camps them
- the cannibale: i feel like pallets are useless against him and he’s too op at chases
- the doctor: versing him to me feels like an entirety different game
some killers that are easier for me are:
- invisible guy
- the shape
- the trapper
please dbd pros give me tips i prefer playing survivor so much more
i’m a claudette and have spine chill, light weight, resilience, and self care
shes level 49, and i’m levelling up bill overbeck to get his teachable perks cause i like some of his perks. what else should i do? i also don’t want to spend money on this game
EDIT: THANK U! i’m reading through the replies and i have definitely decided to play longer before finalizing my opinion. also i’m gonna keep experimenting with new play styles and perks. feel free to keep leaving comments and tips they’re actually very helpful

LOL I'm not familiar but I can tell from your tone that it will be worth a watch.
Who would you guys say was the most warmly received killer?
I can literally say the same, my friend, I can literally say the same.
And Old Freddy on Old Lery's is so.. perfect for me. My favourite killer and my favourite map ;)
Old Billy, Old Bubba, Blue MacMillian, Old Game which didn't have countless safe pallets.
Oh, how I want to see all of it in-game again.
To answer your question about Legion a little bit, he was... Weird. He was a bad killer, but no matter what you did you would go down.
His Feral Frenzy stabs used to take a chunk out of the Deep Wounds meter. Base legion would need five stabs, but with the incredibly maligned add-on Frank's Mix Tape that was brought down to three stabs.
He didn't have to wait for his meter to refill to use his power, he has NO cooldown or fatigue on missed hits, and best of all Deep Wounds used to be tied to chase. If you weren't in chase it would go down. Legions quickly realized of they looked at the ground or walked backwards, they could effectively chase while the deep wounds meter went down. The regular experience of legion would be "Get stabbed twice, run for a bit with him chasing you, he'd go into Feral Frenzy after the meter refilled like 25%, and if he has Frank's he'd down you. Immediately. If he didn't have Frank's, he'd probably walk backwards or just stab you a few more times. It may take a while, but you WILL go down. Pallets don't matter, and windows don't matter because Legion basically vaults at the same speed."
Believe me, Trickster is nothing compared to the crap we put up with back in the day, both Killers and Survivors. Most of the true OG Killer mains are gone to other games, and be glad they are because some are absolute terrors. I remember the days when true infinites existed, there was no bloodlust, hook sabotaging was permanent and there were a total of like 6 good Killer perks. You came during the best time in DbD's history.
Most warmly received killer? Now that is a tricky question. Honestly, I have no idea.
Do yourself a favor and ignore Sluzzy.
No, he really wasn't
I'm really just missing the Old Look of DbD now. Hell, soon if will all he phased out. I think we've only got Haddonfield left, huh?
Yay. What a... Great sendoff.
That Legion video. Holy #########. It actually SERIOUSLY added a MINUTE of mending per stabbing, up to five??!? That, combined with what Nomi said, really does make him sound like an absolute disaster. I do like the character myself but I now understand why there's still so much lingering spite for him.
From what I've seen and read, I do tend to believe this.
Yes, the ample tactical counterplay of... Holding M1 and W. Throwing pallets that didn't matter and vaulting windows that didn't matter. And going down without having anything you could do.
I mean, hey, if you enjoyed Old Legion more power to you. I personally think he almost killed the game.
Yes Spirit is unfairly op. Other killers are fine.
@sonyasiren your new to these forums. i look like im new but im not. anyways just as a heads-up sluzzy is a know troll.
what was old legion i wasn't here for that
Maybe Oni or Blight? I wasn't here for Myers introduction, but I imagine he was beloved on release.
This poor girl is gonna come back and see hundreds of replies to her thread and be so overwhelmed she won't know WHAT to do. :P
There ya go. Explained some of it on the last page.
It is funny how the topic derailed from advice to talking about Old DbD.
He was a bottom tier Killer that was simultaneously offering less counterplay than a Prayer Bead Spirit.
Might as well give her a glimpse at what once was.
I'd have to go back and look but I think I may have been the one to start it. If so, my apologies. It's been a lot of fun learning though.
Thank goodness it's gone
1000 hours minimum
yea plague to me isnt an issue in terms of escaping, but on 2 occasions plague was camping the last gens making it impossible to win.
Then you 3-genned yourselves. Don't do that; if you do all the gens in one section of the map and none on one whole side, you deserve to be 3-genned. You have to play aggressively and go for the risky gens.
they weren't too close by each other tbh. it could have just been my personal bad experiences with her. ive versed her 2 times like i said, i need to play more before finalizing my opinions.
Ah yes, I should've used my supernatural powers.
Old Legion was a chasing Killer 100% of the time. Frenzy had no real cooldown and you had to multi-stab people to down them with Feral Frenzy, but missing didn't have a penalty. What Survivors hated was that they couldn't loop Legion endlessly and had to use different tactics, so they cried long enough and got some streamers to join in and Legion is now a joke. That's how DbD goes:
-A Killer is decent at high ranks
-Survivors cry because they can't just hold shift+w and press space while chaining tiles together to win
-After a while devs listen to the crying and the Killer gets nerfed to the ground and all the fun sucked out of them.
This is why there are only a small handful of Killers you'll see played by serious players who want to win. Spirit is next on the chopping block now that they got all the old Killers, because as always Survivors hate to do anything but run run run and run some more. Stealth is a dirty word in this game.
killers are weaker then survivors most of the time and survivors are very rarely weaker then killers
Reach rank 1 as killer and then see who is really "op".....
this game is child's play for decent survivor. can literally afk like 5 minutes and still win
play killer
Yeahhh wait til you get to higher ranks and have been playing for more than 6 days to make a judgement on balance.
While yes even in high ranks it's most likely a high rank Nurse or Spirit will crush you. Once you learn how to loop on maps like Badham Preschool, Disturbed Ward, or Groaning Storehouse it gets a lot easier against the other killers.
Well, Mother's Dwelling hasn't changed much, if I am not mistaken. But we all know it will, eventually, which is disheartening.
I am not ready for that...
I don't know what other people said to you OP, but here are my six bits of advice as survivor. Even red ranked/experienced survivors struggle with this, and honestly, it shows. These aren't instant skills, but you should be asking yourself if you have them;
This is great advice. Listen to it, Survivors.
