Becoming a joke now
Last 8 games have been an absolute joke as killer. Flash light bully squads in 4 out of 8 of which, 3 of last 4. Having a few survivors d/c a lot also which again spoils the game for everyone. 4 female survivors (always female characters) just set out to make the match horrible. Ive been flashed light saved about 20 times in my last 7 games and im starting to get really fed up of it. Never had this in the 4 years of playing the game. Always looked forward to playing dbd after work in the evening, that enjoyment in waining atm. I like a challenge swf bring, but every game ain't fun at all.

whenever that happens i just do a quick 180 and it works 90% of the time
Your standard way of looping doesnt work against good survivors, thats why you adapt and play around their playstyle while playing as safe as possible. Use their confidence to your advantage
As said, there are very few scenarios where from the beginning you have no chance, and its up to you if you want to believe that.
Don't blame flashlights, blame your lack of skill.
You're playing oni, a very good killer, and you're struggling to win against every swf you meet.
If you hate flashlights that much bring lightborn. If you think they'll go to a locker then don't hold m1 and just get a free locker grab. I don't see how female characters have anything to do with you being bad, especially after playing for over 4 years.
yeah, waste some slost for those non-meta perks and see how gens start flying in minutes.
K, a wall isnt a perk tho, neither is having basic knowledge and knowing how to bait a save
Game is super toxic on both sides, believe me.
When i play killer i experience what you say.
When i play survivor in soloQ, i experience hard tunneling on the first survivor to the point he/she feels the need to DC.
The game is utter garbage now, full of toxicity and it looks like BHVR is enjoying the fact that some players are super frustrated with the current state of the game as they have never adressed anything.
It´s in such a terrible state that 40% of the playerbase have stopped playing (or at least play way less) and i don´t understand why BHVR does nothing about it.
Because toxic players keep buying neon cosmetics to further rub it in the killers faces. I do enjoy the new chapter releases and I often buy them, as do many others, so why the need to change it?
Because the player base is decreasing
wasn't talking about "basic knowledge" or "knowing how to bait a save"......
tell that to steam charts
Yeah, you were talking about wasting a perk slot. So why do that when instead you can just apply basic knowledge and baits?
Last time I quick swapped to lightborn the second they all quick swapped to flashlights.
It was a good day
Use lightborn with a group like that. It throws them off and usually gets some free hits since that kind of group is all about flashlight saves.
its not even swf nowadays even in solo the survivors get matched with high mmr teamates and also are notified when others are in chase wgich i think def needs to go. there is no way to compensate for the 12-26 pallets or the 3 copout perks, you are told to "deal with them" or you are "bad", because god forbid we realize the game is inbalanced
then you played against some garbage survivors my friend
you can't make survivors drop items by using "knowledge".., and avoid flashlight isn't always possible, especially when you're playing against SWF squads, even if you manage to "grab" a survivor, it's still hard to avoid getting blinded.
If you're really getting flashlight saved so much maybe you should try avoiding the flashlights somehow?
there is nothing you can really do against it because they dont have time to run infront of you and flashlight. Its simple as that
As soon as i bent down to carry them, the survivors were already there. Litterally no way of turning without being blinded. A killer with no eyes would be useful round about now
-look at the ground
-listen for audio cues (footsteps often work for me)
-look at a wall when picking up and then look down to avoid the beam
-run lightborn or infectious fright (I personally run IF)
-go for a slug fest
A game as Trickster where I made a TONE of mistakes(Missed WAY too many easy shots, over comitted, didnt pay too much attention to gens when I should of), and then took advantage of mistakes they made in the endgame.
This was a 4 man SWF though they werent on comms, they were all pretty good (Battleguy is a pretty good player, one of the OG Billy mains)
No matter the situation, there is always an opportunity. And a skill you develop with time is looking for and identifying those opportunities
thats if they are unexperienced
"..Just set out to make the match horrible."
Bruh thats just the entirety of the Dead by Daylight Community.
if you are doing all of this with a strong killer, strong perks, and etc but still complaining you are getting steamrolled by flashlights of all things, then either you are lying about how good you are, or lying about getting steamrolled and it really seems like the former :/
I never said I have difficulty with flashlights
that stuff doesn't help when most of those big r squads swap in the last second.
well then what is the point of the post? 🤔
read them and youll see
So them quick swapping some how deletes all walls on the map?
no they literally do not physically have the time to run infront of you and get the save unless they have exhaustion perks ready (which they probably already used). Its game mechanics, not related to skill
Like I have said, if they are experienced and high level they will be hiding nearby with iron will and will be in a position to be able to flashlight save. you dont need exhaustion perks to flashlight save
Why does your oni not have infectious?
if they're that close you should be able to find them and chase them away. If they're not right beside (< 5 metres) you, they do not physically have to time to run infront of you and flashlight save before you can look down. If they are, just spend one second taking them out of position for a free hit or atleast make it so they cant flash you in time.
Id love to but with some maps spawning up to 26 pallets a game thats near impossible as they always have a copout
Yeaah I guess you didn't play this game enough to know you can blind killers from the weirdest most surrealistic angles even when looking into a wall, that accounting that every survivor will go down next to a wall or far from a pallet. Only solution to that will be starting a chase with another nearby survivor and if they're good they're spacing enough to have enough time to get a hit on them while the downed survivor already got up. But yeah walls mate ezpz just pick next to a wall flashlights are useless.
Im well aware you can blind at odd angles, but picking up next to a wall deals with most angles.
Seriously, flashlights really arent an issue. If you get flashlight saved more than once in a game its on you.
