Playing killer sucks right now

There's no real way around it, it just sucks. So many matches feel miserable to play, whether it's because of how many pallets are on every map, how tight and overly safe the newer maps are designed, the lack of any significant changes to killers desperately needing those changes (Ghostface, Trapper, SM, Hag, etc.), or how so many perks, addons, and even some powers are completely negated by certain survivor perks. It's an issue that's been persisting for a while (and yes, there is some b.s. on the killer end as well), but the event amplifies those issues with how little killers get when playing it. All I'm hoping for is a few updates, reduction in pallet density, healthy changes to perks and killer powers, maybe even a few addon passes, just to make the role feel worth playing

  • You think game is miserable for killer, let me tell you how game looked 4-5 years back.

    → Instaheals (you hit someone, they poped styptic agent and were fully healed), you downed someone and before cooldown ended they poped syringe on them and back to full health

    → Infinites (not only way bigged maps, more pallets, way safer loops connected to each other but also windows you had to vault three times to catch someone or run bamboozle)

    → Way bigger maps (fe. fractured cowshed wa min 4x bigger, had big O of connected loops on map edge, Thompson house looked like Laybirinth)

    → Dead hard for free distance making every single (12 total) chase insanely long

    → DS worked for 60s when reparing, healing, everything

    And so on…

    Please, don't tell me killer is frustrating, because you didn't play in era where killers truly were frustrating

    ok so that doesnt mean that someone cant find a different era frustrating. invalidating someones opinion because there was a time where it was worse doesnt make much sense

    I'm just saying that game currently isn't as miserable as people say. i do play nice as killer, but going against Ghoul, Wesker and Blight with most meta set up, tunneling… I don't blame anyone. i understand the frustration on both sides. it's boring to go against 4 sprint bursts, yes… so is going against killers like Knight, ghoul or First

    every single killer in the game is boring to someone and so is every single perk.

    this isnt at you specifically but boring is a meaningless buzzword in dbd.

    if we take away every part of the game that people find boring the only thing left is the main menu.
