Last night, I was playing Killer on Disturbed Ward and ran into this situation:
Feng on a hook
Yui on a hook
Nancy slugged in between them and not moving.
Jane is somewhere on the other side of the map.
There are no more hooks nearby.
Would you
A. Secure the three kills and just wait for Jane to show up
or
B. Run to the other side of the map to look for Jane and risk her saving everyone and possibly changing the entire match?
I chose option A because I don't like giving Survivors second chances when they screw up. My Static Blast thankfully found Jane so I knew where she was. Yui had died at that point and Feng was nearly dead. Nancy had just began to move, so I felt like I could go hunt for Jane. I quickly found and hooked her and Nancy to finish out the match.
When I get to the end game screen and see that I got brutal, I prepare myself for some BS reason. I look at my Emblems and it turns out I was right about there being BS.

The game penalized me for securing THREE kills. Not one, not two, but three Survivors. It’s absolutely insane that this game is punishing Killers for making smart decisions and not handing out second chances. Am I really supposed to give up my advantage and give all of the Survivors second chances to escape even though I punished them for their mistakes? I’m completely done with playing to rank up as Killer now thanks to this sad excuse of a ranking system. Now I’m just going to focus on getting four kills.

It really depends on how many gens are left. If theres 5 left ill ######### off somewhere and let jane unhook the 2 and pick the 3rd uo. If they looked particularly bad i might even let them heal.

If theres 1 gen left im setting up a tent.

The emblem system isnt designed to track skill in getting kills efficiently, its set up to encourage lengthening the match as much as possible. Same thing happens to survivors, if they gen rush to hard and you only get 1 or 2 hooks theres a good chance theyll depip, probably safety. This is why you see some squads get 4 done then start to bully the killer. They want those bps and pip points.

Probably yeah then, it might be the way you are playing him, plus he is short so it might look like he is slower.
On the way you play him, why not try the JaeRoar way of playing him? It's a combination of stalk when you can afford stalking and M1/RT when you have no power maybe it will help not moving slow.

Yeah maybe. Thanks ill try that

Allow me to ask, PS4 controller or Xbox?
If PS4 press the small button where the tag is behind it, you will need a clip or something to reset your controller (hold it for like 5-10 seconds), if the slowdown continues, try getting canned air and either open the controller or just push the stick up and send air inside.
It might have some dust or maybe who knows? Roaches inside (for some reason they love PS4 controllers) it is really annoying.
If Xbox, I can't really help since most of my xbox controllers tend to die hard on me even though I rarely use them.
Edit: oh BTW if your controller is a PS4, and if it has the strip on the touch pad, those tend to malfunction a lot, I had to change 3 on the past 4 months.

Xbox, but like i mentioned im not noticing it with other killers, just gf. I think it might be a combination of trying to be sneaky and the hitbox of his kunge seeminly being different. I think i just hate him, that style anyway

You play with a controller? Because for some reason holding forward with a controller will sometimes make you run slightly slower, if you play with M&K I can guarantee he moves normally (been using GF all day about 7 hours of using him)

I am on a controller, i havent noticed that with any other killers

So you're on GF...

Nah was just messing around. Honestly i kind of hate him

I know it says that, it doesnt feel like hes moving at normal speed though

Break the 5 pallets. If she was pre throwing them it should take about 30 seconds including walking between pallets, then go chase someone else

@Dwinchester said:
All killers feel slow, mostly because survivors can get a 32m head start due to the terror radius. But no, he's no slower than any of the others.

I mean even right behind them he feels slower. Maybe its just the play style idk.

It’s probably cause he’s short.

When i legitamately tunnel or camp someone and they "call me out" (🙄) for it I laugh at them. I dont follow made up rules. And no, I dont care about tbagging

For real? A purple and a green together is only 4 extra seconds? Wow.

Yeah youre better off running an addon that increases ff duration and then either the mangeled pin or broken pin

I'm looking for a solution to fix slugging when the killer really wants that 4k so bad.
For instance: Killer wreaks the team and there's something like 3 gens left and 2 survivors left. Survivor 1 gets slugged, while survivor 2 is hiding. There's next to no chance of the survivors winning at this point so when you're on the ground as a slug your only viable option is to bleed out or DC since the killer refuses to hook you.
Perhaps allowing unbreakable more or even unlimited use would end these boring / toxic scenarios.

Youve already got 15 different ways of preventing this. If the killer wants to slug for the 4k why is that such a problem?

in Buff Unbreakable? Comment by Dead_by_Gadfly July 10, 2020

See. Even survivors hate survivors

Because in game theory (actual game theory not the youtube channel) yiu want to balance around your best players because they are more likely to find ways to break your game. You can fix things at the low end of the spectrum but your best players can usually be far more efficient and find things you didnt intend.
Gonna quote a TF2 video for this one.
When the rocket jumper and parachute got nerfed its because in the hands of the best players, they could jump around the map and never get hit because the control was so good, at lower levels pf play it had a minimal effect because people didnt really use the parachute for air dodging, but it absolutley was used by the best most efficient players.
In DBD im going to use old ruin (just as an example) of low tier balance. You have a lot of survivor players at high ranks able to either power through the perk or simply remove it withing 30 seconds or so. HOWEVER, at the lower end of gameplay survivors that were unable to hit skill checks would get stonewalled until they could start landing skill checks and hunt totems. This caused players to learn and grow in the game. What happened is we balanced against the lower tiers of players, now it does not affect skill checks at all, removing the incentive to learn more about the game. Instead it was replaced with a totem that encourages finishing generators above all else and not letting them wear down. In red ranks this has about the same effect that it did before but made the lower tier ranks have a much easier time because there is less skill required to counter it.
A lot of the changes BHVR does are geared towards the lower end of play involving survivors, the problem this has is it is much easier for
A. Survivors to get to ranks and prestiges where they are mismatched. And
B. Makes it more difficult for new players to want to play killer. It is true high tier and tip tier players will be able to continue playing their favored killers, billy, nurse etc... But it disincentives new players to stay playing killer. Meanwhile it is easier and easier for survivors to pick up survivor and be good at it
TL;DR Balancing against the highest levels of play usually fixes bugs and helps players to naturally improve

This was put perfectly
