This game can be very stressful, but not because it's difficult
Today, my games consisted of:
2 normal matches
- I got bodied as Nurse in one
- Everyone gave up against my Slinger in the other
1 match with a subtle cheater turned blatant cheater
1 match where I was sent to play on German servers despite the fact that I live in Central US (the lag made the match virtually unplayable)
1 match against two subtle cheaters with speedhacks
This game is not even worth my time with how bad the servers are and how often I run into cheaters. Too bad I love playing it as much as I do. When this game works, I really enjoy it. But there's too many issues with lag and cheaters to really enjoy it properly (literally this is the only game I play where I encounter lag and cheaters).
It's kind of heartbreaking, and kind of frustrating. Maybe I'll just play something else for a while.

i feel you, honestly sometimes it gets so frustrating that you play one game and quit and mostly on killer
i don't even know how the pressure builds up, its just don't get it, you just playing pretty chill not caring about a win and then all sudden u realize u are on the verge of throwing a pallet at a survivor
"Go play Civilization"
To be honest for me the most frustrating thing in DbD is teammates because you cannot communicate with them. Like they stand in doorways and block you (whether that's intentional or not I cannot tell).
The other frustrating thing is killers tunneling newbies and camping them, they really smell the new blood. Just now I had a game where a newbie killer tunneled the most inexperienced/newbie survivor. It's amazing how much of an instinct it really is. Somehow we saved him though and he escaped.
I unironically played Dwarf Fortress after getting off DbD. (it's kinda like Civilization, but for people that like looking at spreadsheets)
