You're thinking way too small on hatch if you think it's killer sided. Amazingly enough, at one point, hatch did not exist. People played the game happily without it. You think that playing killer makes you all-knowing and that you'll always get to the hatch first. No. Many times the hatch spawns in an area you've never needed to go to in the later part of the match, because a gen was done there at the very beginning. Why is it in the game? If the killer could open a gate at any time, or the EGC started after the last gen was done, like I've suggested, we wouldn't need it. It's a crutch for survivors, not for killers. For survivors, you press a button and win. For killers, you press a button and hope the gates are close enough to patrol because that's yet another 2nd chance survivors have at escaping.
And really? EGC gives the killer free kills? I can't remember that last time I got an EGC kill!
And you treat "deserve" and "owed" as if they're taboo terms, but if I wasn't using those I'd be explaining the exact same message, just with different words. If killers aren't owed anything for playing well, and if survivors aren't owed anything for playing well, then what's the point of this game? You can't have a game that doesn't reward players for doing something right. That's the whole point of a game!
That 4th kill is as good as mine in 99% of scenarios. Unless the survivors have the gates opened, there's 2 left, I kill one and the other escapes through the gate, there's no reason I wouldn't be able to get that last kill unless I threw the game. The hatch skips that entire scenario. A bush hiding Claudette could do nothing all game and get that escape. What about hatch is killer sided? It exists to give survivors another chance to escape!

You are proving my point splendidly with this little diatribe. YOU FEEL ENTITLED TO KILLS YOU DID NOT EARN. The words "deserve" and "owed" should not be a point you are trying to make because if you don't actually kill people you aren't owed anything. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose but at no point do you deserve anything. And you are discounting that survivors who played well and are the last man standing should have a chase to win as well. It is already vastly stacked against them. Hatch, killer-sided, EGC killer-sided, and the killer is faster, can run any number of perks to pin point your location and generally has some other built in ability like distance shots or ports or blinks. It is appalling that even though a survivor in that situation is already horrendously disadvantaged, you are salty that they might want to have a reason not to just suicide at your feet. Has it even occurred to you that survivors might want to have a fun game too, or are the survivors just fodder for your amusement. If that is the case I recommend you petition the devs for NPC mode, so you can just kill to your hearts content w/o having to be inconvenienced by anyone else just trying to enjoy a game.

Why wouldn't you be able to put a trap by the exit gate? I do not play killer a ton but I do enjoy playing trapper quite a bit. He was already mid-tier at best, he does need any nerfing for sure.

This must have posted before the new killer dropped. Wonder how he is feeling today?

in Thank You Devs Comment by alaenyia December 3, 2020

Everyone of OP's arguments are laughable. The hatch is already killer sided, the likelihood that the killer is going to see and close the hatch before a last survivor can find it is way better considering they get to walk the map without any concerns, and have been the whole game. So unless the team never got below 3 gens, the hatch has been sitting somewhere the killer could have seen it for a while. Then they move faster, thus increasing the ability to beat the survivor to it.

Considering how many random players there are, of course other people's poor game play should not mean the last person should get killed automatically. With EGC already geared toward giving killers free kills, I think that is probably enough. And your thirst to have zero escape and just have to find the survivor tells me you are fairly new to this game. There used to be hatch stand-offs that could last an hour. And a survivor could just hide on the map forever until the killer DCd out of frustration. That is how things used to be.

And finally I have heard the word "DESERVE" thrown around a lot in this thread. There is literally nothing you are owed or deserve in this game ever on either side. If a survivor gets out, well you did not deserve that kill, and if a survivor gets killed, well it was not meant to be. But every player should have an opportunity to play, and you deciding that if 3 people go down you should just automatically get the game called in your favor is pretty ridiculous.

It has nothing to do with lagging out of a match today, how often do you DC? they can't all be lag outs. there's more to this story then you are sharing. the more you DC the longer the lock out is, it's that simple

If he played 20 games a day and his (or the server, which happens) drops him once a day. Within 3 days it woud be up to 15 minutes. It is easily believable that this penalty is not his fault. And put his DC percentage at 2%. I think DC penalty is handled very poorly in DbD. At the very least it should reset every 24hours. Days later is ridiculous.

in Unfairly and Excessively Time Locked for Disconnect Comment by alaenyia November 6, 2020

Gen kicking and pallet kicking are one of the killers emblems, so for pip sake, it may be a good idea to work your destruction during the match. I run a gen slow-down build to stretch out the matches, if they can't get gens done, they can't leave. I would say focusing on gens instead of chases has earned me more pips and points than the other way around. Also patrolling like half the map generally works to get people, especially randos to 3 gen themselves.

My point of view here is a mix. I do 100% agree that it is harder to pip as killer. That needs to change. They punish you for not taking your time. If you slug everyone and 4k with 4 hooks you depip. Its ridiculous. I don't think the solution is making it harder for survivors to pip as that would just make them sweat more, but having the emblem system gaurentee a pip if everyone dies would be nice (if they add a way to do that but it doesnt work for facecamping or other bullshit strategies that would be nicer.) As for the whole survivor sided thing, my perspective of that is that it varies. Some aspects of the game are very killer sided, and ~~some~~ most aspects are survivor sided. Overall, the game is survivor sided but there are some things that piss me off like hit confimations when playing survivor. Its pretty hard to play against killers on laggy servers when a hit on their screen counts when they are 5 meters behind you on your screen.

You are right it is harder to pip as killer and too easy as survivor (IMO). But if your strategy is to slug 4 survivors for the 4k, you 100% should not get a pip, this type of toxic gameplay should definitely not be rewarded. And the game swung killer-sided over a year ago. I have played over 2 years and have seen most changes swing the pendulum toward the killer. All survivor items have been nerfed, EGC is vastly killer-sided and the killer gets credit even if he doesn't catch the last person, hatch is killer-sided, like you pointed out hit boxes are crazy, everyone's got a 6 foot arm these days.

in Stop punishing killers for being efficient. (and fix matchmaking) Comment by alaenyia November 6, 2020

Lol, clearly this match did not go the way OP describes. For starters look at the survivors scores, he was not keeping them busy. If they had been working on gens, being chased and hooked and offhooked multiple times their scores would be a lot higher. Basically this screen shot shows me this guy played super toxic, did not complete 3 out of 4 of his own objectives and is blaming DbD for shorting him his pip. But if he had just actually played the game, he would have pipped just fine. If pips are your goal, you will need to actually engage the game. If ruining 4 other peoples match was the goal, it appears you were successful.

Again, you keep trying to put an inference in my words that is not there. Break down what I said again.... I started with:
"You will, in time, up your game to deal with it..." (which indicates that first an foremost I think he will become a better player).
I continue with:
"And/or get a team of other Survivors who know how to work with you to do so." (I am not talking about a SWF. If you were took back through my posts throughout this Forum you will find I am not a fan of the SWF. I play Solo Que. As you get better and improve your Rank, you end up getting more people in the match with you that KNOW what they are doing. They will know how to work with you. When you are a newbie, basically Ranks 12-20, it is up in the air whether you will get support from your teammates or not. In this context it is clear that I"m talking about going into the match with other Survivors who are capable. You keep looking for something YOU want to hear that isn't there. If I mean SWF, I would say SWF, and talk at length about their 5th Perk (Comms).
This game isn't pro-Killer or pro-Survivor. There are no sides outside an individual match. We are all Players taking part in the same game. Most people do end up playing both sides. Your views on what is and isn't "toxic/lazy/cheap" are irrelevant because (so far) all the things you have chosen to label thus have been designated as valid by the DEV. Just like the OP, you seem hellbent on blaming the problems of Survivors on other Players or the game itself. I would urge you, just like I urged the OP, to own your own results. You earned them; that is the long and the short of it. All of us facing camping, tunneling, slugging, and the Mori from time to time. Most people soldier through it, recognizing it to be just part of the game. So, quit trying to put words in my mouth, and start stating and supporting your own case.

Do you not understand what a SWF (Survive with Friends) is? You totally suggest he play with others, a SWF, and then tell me you did not say that. Playing with others, not solo, is a SWF. There is no play with others that are stangers, that is just solo. And your rando team mates in matches are a total crap shoot. I have red rank survivors in my matches all the time that can't do anything but hide. I have overly bold ones that just flashlight click everyone till they are dead. Playing with strangers may up your game but because you have to learn to be more self-sufficient.

I can not get used to the new preschool map. So against Myers, I was downstairs in the school doing a gen and he jumped down the hole, so I ran up the stairs and oops new door at the end, so I ran the other way. ALL THE WAY TO THE OTHER END, guess what another new door. I had to run down the stairs, through the basement, pallet him and up the stairs again then out the middle door. I felt real dumb.

Please don't put words into my mouth. I never mentioned a SWF. I play Solo Que myself. I didn't offer any advice, because the OP didn't ask for any. He simply demanded what he wanted to happen and lamented his lot in the game. I don't get tunneled and camped 3/4 of my games, so I find it somewhat dubious when I hear people claim that. I know a lot of people who play and that number simply doesn't add up. At some points people have to start taking responsibility for their own losses, and quit trying to blame them on other Players or the game.

"You will, in time, up your game to deal with it and/or get a team of other Survivors who know how to work with you to do so." -Moonshroud. This is the exact quote from the post I referenced, so you did indeed recommend a SWF. I am not putting words in your mouth but referencing your exact statement. And playing toxic/lazy/cheap, although not outright banned, should not be encouraged. The devs should be doing something to discourage it. With all the added features that are pro-killer I think coming down on the lazier plays, like tunneling, is not asking too much.

Like...nothing you said seems to make sense based on my post...I am mostly talking about the cheese of survivors through coms...and I don't know where you draw your numbers...I am sure there is no empirical data to back that up, since it is objective really. But I am telling you...if I start getting survivors up my ass, body blocking a hook, I am not going to hook them and walk away pretending they aren't there...and if I can...I will hit the same guy, because it takes him down and punishes the survivors for being THAT bold...i don't even have a CHANCE to leave sometimes before they are unhooking...then they claim I am camping and tunneling....not seeing that its their comms that tipped off where their dude was before they got hooked...on and on...this post was me talking about how I WILL cheese when I SEE cheese...and I see it WAY more than the picture you are painting here. I would be more willing to say it is 50/50...but since I hit 15 I have noticed a sharp curve UP in the frequency I run into SEAL teams...ranked matches should not be doable "With your friends" that stuff with comms needs to be kept to the non-points matches...it wasn't in the balance of the game and I am so sick of survivors not acknowledging that.

What you are probably getting is seasoned players who know the map and the plays. Just because a team is playing cohesively does not mean they are together or talking to each other. Most players who are on here a lot get to know what the next steps should be and execute them. I have had amazing games with total randos because we just worked together to get the stuff done and cover each other without ever being in any kind of verbal contact. I think killers are quick to call people a team when really they are just individually good at this game.
