Totem spots are difficult to balance, especially because people do learn the spots. Look at maps like Badham Preschool - there's a lot of potential spots, but you can still find them. It does take longer on that map. That's really the only way to make sure they're all not bugged (unable to be cleansed, for example).
On the other hand, if you add so many spawning restrictions, it becomes easier and easier to find them as well. For example, if they never spawn in LOS of or near a generator, survivors know to never look there. It's a really tricky balance to find, and it's the reason totems are high risk, high reward.

Except for the ones that are high risk, low reward. Mostly low reward because they notify survivors before they're ever really useful (i.e. lullaby, ruin, etc)

I feel the same way. Just seems like a waste of time and not really a solution. Absolutely ruins shack as well. Shack is playable as it is. But just make OP windows breakable instead..

I absolutely love playing as Plague, but on console she is too framey for me to use the puke. Same with doc, his static makes my frames horrible. It makes me sad. :(

Look man, I respect the decision to leave this game, but seeing these kind of threads every day gets really tiresome. Yeah, I get it, you arent enjoying the game, its bug ridden and the devs dont matter etc etc. If you wanna leave, just leave.

Oh I plan to. Thanks for the permission dad.

I was honestly surprised at the majority of comments. I was expecting to be lambasted, but the vast majority felt the same way or have already quit but still love the game and wish for it to improve.
Of course there are the few "bye" comments and other criticisms, but the long stories about being frustrated and moving to a new game from several people along with new game suggestions are mostly the ones that are worth reading. We're all real people with real passion for the game and we don't want to leave the game, but feel driven out by the choices that are being made.
In the end we all want the same thing... for the game to improve for everyone. For some/many, the better choice is to devote time and energy into a game that is worth it by a team that shows their appreciation to their playerbase through their actions.

Unfortunately you'll always get the trolls that just say "bye" because they are too blind to realize why we react to dbd this way now. We make a post or a video about it to express a love for this game but also a frustration because the people in charge of it don't seem to love it at all.

Or respect their community. We have told them for years about map issues and certain things that need improved or fixed. What do we get? Breakable walls. That's laughable. Instead of using the time to just fix busted window loops, they want to waste time adding breakable walls..

It's a shame to see dbd go down to this. I wish the devs cared more.

i enjoy it.
i play killer daily and im not at all planning to stop.
ill be fair here:
1) yes, having games where they do nothing but genrush is plain out boring and sometimes you literally dont stand a chance, depending on killer, map and survivors, which of course is frustrating. and if you have enough of these games in a row, i can fully understand that you dont wanna continue playing - and you shouldnt! cause if you do, you will make more suboptimal decisions, which leads to you losing more, which leads to you getting more and more frustrated.
2) having cheap second chance perks deny all the work you put into something feels very cheap and, again, leads to frustration. i cant tell you how many times i had the survivor outplayed around a relatively safe loop and they just pressed E and got to loop it two more times before dropping the pallet - the amount of work you put into this mindgame getting completely denied by someone pressing E (which, lets be honest, takes near to no skill) is really, really annoying. (and the main problem i have with that perk xD)
3) these frustrating games are not nearly as common as many people here on the forums say they were. as ive said, i play killer daily and the vast majority of my matches go well. now, this is just my personal experience of course, but i believe that the game is not nearly as unbalanced as many love to claim. yes there are problems, i wont deny that. genrush is certainly one of them, but if you were to just read through these forums you'd think that killers would be bound to a chair in the basement while the survivors do nothing but taunting them and then calling them "basement camper" in the end.
to sum this up:
at least from my experience, killer is not nearly as bad as it is often claimed to be.
you can play killer no problem, even though its clearly the harder role. you will need to get good with them though - and i mean quite good. if you are a medicore killer, you wont have that many pleasant games, especially with survivors who are experienced in their role.
in the end it all omes down to personal preference - play whatever makes more fun in your opinion! for me that would definitely be killer.

Killer role brings stress, survivor role brings boredom. So I'm not playing at all. Glad to see someone still enjoys this game.
