Whenever he loses it often is because of his teammates.
Welcome to a 4v1 game...
As for this topic, as with every topic announcing the demise of solo queue, nah. Anecdotally, I've seen only a handful of DCs in the last few months, and almost never even see first hook suicides either. Maybe it is just me, but considering how once upon a time this kind of thing genuinely was rampant, sounds hard to believe.

Yes true, but just the manner he starts insulting the teammates is disgusting, as if everyone has 10,000 hours like him and can play at the level he does.

It's just textbook bad winner and bad loser. I watched one game he played against a Huntress who demolished the whole team on Lerys. The last shot he got on him was a bit questionable hitbox over a pallet. He chose to call him garbage and started insulting him for the shot. No gg wp or anything for the rest of the flawlessly played match by a skilled Huntress (also Lerys isn't even that great a map for Huntress).

Anyways, I'll stop now, as I don't want to derail the topic and go on too much about a specific streamer. Just wanted to vent about this person for a while lol.

I don't get why he even streams the game anymore. All he does is complain about it the entire time.

Whenever he loses he'll complain about the game, or blame his teammates. But he'll always showboat and teabag upon winning. Pure cringe.

When we have large profile streamers behaving like this, it's a bit sad, as they're basically the role model for countless other players.

There's a popular streamer who survivor mains and does that a lot. When called out for it/screwing over his teammates, his defense is 'well no one is forcing them to stay in there' like ???
So yea, there's lots of people who are selfish/don't give a crap about the match, if they want to leave over stupid things, they will. It sucks but nothing you can do.

It was two duos, we finished the gen and opened the gate whilst my friend was on hook. It was physically impossible to get the save. There was no holding the game hostage in this case but the basement was completely blocked leaving it to be physically impossible to get the save. That is the point im trying to make this exploit can lead to at worst holding a game hostage, at best forcing survivors to either dc or die to end game collapse.

Yep, fair point. I saw someone else post this occuring in the Badham Preschool basement too, which is even worse as that's an active part of the map which can contain a gen. I suppose you could make it so that Charlotte and/or Victor has no hitbox in key parts of the map when they are not being controlled.

This is your opinion. Many people don't play to just "win". Lots of people play to have fun irregardless of whether they win or not. When I play killer, I love picking Doctor to harass survivors and make them scream over and over. I do it too much against potatoes sometimes and let them all go in the end. I didn't need to win anything, I just had some fun.
Same with when I play Hag. I'll get someone on the hook, and place all 10 of my traps in the path that leads to the hook just so I can hear the rescuer scream over and over. I find it funny and for making them suffer through all those traps I don't pursue them.
No one here is being entitled or on a high horse. This thread is dedicated to the killers who go out of their way to make the game enjoyable for their opponents even though they don't have to. If you were to have actually read the thread, you'd have seen my comments where I state that I don't believe anyone should judge or disparage players who choose to play the way you describe.
Perhaps you're just not good enough to be able to play in a way that is fun for everyone, and that's fine, just don't come here and try to put down others who are.

You should try playing Ghost Face, crouch/sneak up on people working gens, stand up right next to them, watch them crap themselves and run away, and then just walk off. It's pretty funny.

in To the nice killers who... Comment by JPA January 31, 2021

Basically there are not enough highly skilled Killers, and way more high ranked survivors. This means that low rank newbie Killers must be put against red rank survivor teams regularly.

I'm also new to the game (playing regularly since October last year), and feel your pain OP.

However one advantage to playing these players with 4000 hours, is you are exposed to lots of high level techniques and skills from the get go. It is difficult and you will lose lots of games, but with the right mindset you can learn and thrive! Just expect to lose, or you will get stressed.

Aim to improve your play incrementally and learn each game, rather than aiming to "win" or consistently get kills.

Killers like to feel so victimized but the truth is Killer parks are way stronger than Survivor perks in general, and survivor perks have been nerfed way more than killer perks in general.
In the Dennisreep community there are 7 S-Rank Killer Perks and 0 (yes Zero) S-Rank Survivor Perks.
Other people in this thread have pointed how many of the survivor perks newb killers think never got nerfed were nerfed ages before they even started playing (pretty obvious they're newbs because they never even knew they were nerfed).

Check it again. Currently it's 3 survivor S perks (BT, DS, IW) and 2 killer perks (BBQ, Pop).

Also killer perks should be stronger anyway given there is 1:4 killer to survivor ratio.

Agitation or Iron Grasp is always a good shout on Trapper too, since it allows you to move a little further when hooking someone, so you can ensure you get a hook in your current area you are defending, or if you're the type of Trapper who likes locking down the basement, it means you can get to the basement hook more reliably.

Infectious Fright. Its great as territorial killer. With STBFL you can make a massacer in a short time and you can interrupt people who try to escape a trap when they scream.

I don't think anyone would expect IF on a Trapper either so you could use it to start an early snowball if anyone is lingering for an ez flashlight or pallet save.

Devour Hope would probably be fun on a Trapper as well and provides a bit extra value, plus Trapper can protect his totem better than your average Killer, for obvious reasons.

@Entità said:
@JPA I mean the character's responsiveness to commands, the precision of the blinks, the speed of the 360s ... everything related to the Nurse's mobility during a chase.
I don't know any statistics, but if your words are true, i.e. the strongest Nurse is going to get 4k against the strongest team of survivors, then she should be nerfed until the average outcome, with the same skill in both roles, won't be 2k/2e.

Oh my bad, I thought you were referring to the fluidity of the survivor since you mentioned going against Nurses.

The analogue stick will never match the mouse for precision, this will always be a problem with cross platform games. Speed of the 360s could be fixed with controller sensitivity I guess, but you'd need to get used to ultra high sensitivity.

in Against PC Nurses from PS4 at high ranks Comment by JPA January 30, 2021

When you say fluidity, what do you mean precisely? I would have thought from a control standpoint at least, playing Survivor with a controller is not too different to using a M+KB (an analogue stick has advantages in looping). There are probably hardware differences which will unfortunately create differences between the two platforms. Another reason why DBD matchmade games can never be considered truly "competitive" if you ask me.

Unfortunately, a good PC nurse is going to 4k all day against any survivors, regardless of what platform they are on.

Why do sound bugs keep coming back then. The silent hill chapter wasn’t rushed but still had bugs. This game will never be bug free or even non buggy.

No software is ever bug free.

My point is, the reason this game is so full of bugs, is because time is spent adding new content, which means adding new code to the codebase, usually in a rushed fashion, rather than spending time refactoring the code that is already there, and improving the existing content.

Hence, a chapter dedicated to quality of life fixes would give the devs time to clean up the game and make progress on some of the bugs.

in DBD Needs A Health Chapter Comment by JPA January 30, 2021

@Phasmamain said:
Scott Jund brought up a point that not many do. This game gets very stale without new content. Scott and many others need the new content to keep enjoying the game.
A health chapter wouldn’t work because all the bugs they fixed would probably just come back next chapter anyway and the lack of content would drive players away.
Not to mention BHVR wouldn’t get any money from it
As for new game modes they would become stale as they would never be balanced in any way. Bhvr should spend their time balancing the game and adding content while fixing bugs imo

Why do you think the bugs would come back next chapter? The only reason bugs occur at the moment is because the team is rushing out new content such as new Killers/Survivors/perks. If they had time dedicated to fixing and debugging the content that is already there, they would be less likely to add or exacerbate bugs in future releases.

It's an exploit as it can lead to the twins holding the game hostage. Why wouldn't you want it patched?

Well in this scenario the person was hooked in the basement so technically the person holding the game hostage was the survivors not in the basement not leaving, no?

But I guess if everyone is in the basement and there are still gens/gates to open, then yes I suppose that could be an exploit. When would you all want to be in the basement though

It's because high Killers are leaving the game, so low ranked Killers must be matched with any rank survivors, to prevent their queue times being too long.

in Match maker is a lopsided jooooooke Comment by JPA January 30, 2021

I think the problem is that to win as a Killer, you need to put intense pressure on the survivors. To win as a Survivor, you have to put intense gen pressure on the Killer. I can't blame a team of Survivors for immediately putting on the pressure, as if you don't put this pressure on early, and it is a good killer, or a try hard killer, then you will probably lose. Likewise for the Killer, if you mess up your first few chases, or lose a key generator early, you will probably lose.

So often if you are playing as a newbie killer, or playing a meme build or generally messing around, you're just going to lose almost immediately. Even after a bad start as a Killer, not always will survivors drop this pressure, as the game can change in an instant.

On both sides you can have bad games too, a survivor could get unlucky with a facecamping Bubba, or someone who suicides on hook. A Killer could get a 4 man OoO SWF sweat squad, or a game which is in the bag could suddenly be lost because someone found a key. Therefore you have to take your victories when you can, so I don't really blame anyone for sweating on either side.

I feel it's more of a game design issue that makes this game so sweaty and stressful (more so for the Killer).

This obviously means they’re SWF. They were going to gen rush and use the key to escape as fast as possible. I would say they deserve it.
Btw, key is broken. Pls nerf

The thread is about people who swap the key in at the last second, so it's not obvious that it is a SWF, or that there will be a key in play.

in Dear Key Swappers, Comment by JPA January 30, 2021

I see it happen quite often, and I assume it's for one or multiple of these reasons:

They are hoping that the Killer was looking away from the lobby for the split second the key is in their hand before the screen goes to black. Then they will try and stealth around the map, or dump the key, and then the hatch escape is more of a surprise and the Killer will not think to play around it (e.g. prevent an early hatch spawn or locate/defend the hatch).
They are bored of waiting 8 minutes for a game and they know many Killers will dodge the lobby if they know about the key and extend the wait time.

I think it's also effective on streamers, who may be interacting with chat and can easily miss the split second change. But even then, if it's a streamer it is likely that someone in chat will catch it.

It's a risky strategy I guess, not sure why they do it to be honest.

I third that. Like, who cares at this point? Let them get their free escape if they want it so bad. You're no better, if not worse for making them bleed out for 4 minutes.

It's not like Killers can bring a free 4k though. If you want to rank up and someone pulls this off on you it's a bit frustrating.

I don't mind if someone just has a key equipped in the lobby, it's the last second switch which is sneaky and anything goes for those players (aside from abuse in the lobby, or anything against the rules, obviously)

I don't think he will, I was just saying that because that would be the requirement for me to stop playing this game sooner. He's absolutely not a weak killer either, he's really good. It's just the general opinion on the forums that certain killers like Demo are low tier even though he has one of the best map mobility tools in the game if you set it up right, and a power that can shut down the strongest tiles in the game. I definitely recommend buying Demo, he's really rewarding and fun to play.

Yeah on paper I thought his abilities seemed awesome (e.g. teleport for map control and shred for loops, e.g. ez shack).

Anyway thanks for that, I might pick him up soon. Sorry to take this thread off topic a little.

Just DC during game load if they play a map offering

I'd rather not incur a matchmaking penalty though.

If the team isn't obviously a SWF and I don't hate the map too much I'll probably just play the game.

If it's an obvious SWF though and it's something like Haddonfield or Ormond, I sometimes just stand in a corner by the exit gate and wait. It's a depip anyway so might as well let them enjoy holding M1 on their favourite map, no point me getting stressed.
