I’ve been playing Dead by Daylight since 2018, mostly as a survivor, until about two years ago when I decided to give killer a try and honestly it was the worst experience I’ve had in the game. It was so frustrating that I ended up uninstalling DBD altogether. Playing killer made me realize just how many flaws exist on that side of the game and it completely killed my motivation to play both killer and survivor.
- Generators go way too fast.
By the time I’m setting up traps or just walking around the map looking for survivors, one or two gens are already done. Chasing a survivor for even one minute basically means losing a generator - it’s that punishing. We are obligated to use the same perks to hold back the gens for a little bit. - Too many pallets.
The game already had a decent amount of pallets, but the recent “pallet density” update made everything worse. Some matches feel like all I’m doing is breaking pallets the entire game. For certain killers like Hag (who I love) there’s just no real counterplay anymore. - Survivors have too many tools and advantages.
Windows, flashlights, lockers, toolboxes, medkits - all fine on their own, but when combined with perks and newer updates, it becomes a nightmare for killers, especially in high MMR. And that’s another issue: high MMR eventually hits everyone, even newer killers. So we end up facing extremely experienced survivors who are practically untouchable and sometimes you can’t even get a single hook in an entire match. - Killers without mobility are becoming useless.
I know some people will say “But I can 4K without Nurse or Blight!” good for you man but that’s not the point. Most newer players are forced to use killers like Dracula, Nurse, Blight or Krause because they actually have map coverage. Other killers just can’t compete even after nerfs on the strongest killers. As a result every match feels the same, with the same small killer pool being used. Beginners pick these killers because otherwise it’s nearly impossible to make hooks. The recent PTBs only made this worse, making strong survivors even stronger while leaving killers without mobility in the dust. And this discourages newer survivors to play the game for long because the matches are repetitives. It's a snowball effect. - Healing is way too fast.
The survival aspect of DBD is fading away because healing feels more like an adventure game mechanic now - you just pop an item and voilà, instantly healed. Slower killers can’t reach survivors in time to interrupt healing anymore, even though that’s supposed to be part of the game’s balance. On the PTB killers were literally punished for that.
I could go on but these are the main reasons why I stopped playing DBD. The killer experience just doesn’t feel fair or fun anymore which affects the survivor experience as well. And I do recommend to people that only play survivor: give killer a chance and you'll find the issues.
