It's a middle-ground map for me, maybe a bit more on the lower end of things.

I don't get excited when I'm forced to play on it, but I'd never burn an offering to go there. It just is a map that causes a lot of boring gameplay, but I don't mind that too much. I would not delete the map if given the option.

And the map is nowhere near as confusing as the game. But the game is actually a fun map, despite being confusing.

The way I see it is tunneling is a great way to swing the game in your favor and possible "win". But, it is an unfun way to go about the game and is generally used if you are unskilled. This is a great way to climb the ranks, but you will never be as good of a killer as someone who does not want to tunnel. In the long run, it hurts you as you won't learn the tricks needed to become a better killer, as you rely on cheese strategies. And when you run into survivors who all run DS, you'll have a lot of issues/probably lose.

That said, I tend to pick 3 and only focus on them. This means that I might chase the 4th survivor if they are caught out, but I will never prioritize them. If there are 2+, I will only go for 1 of the 3 and force them to play super safe as death hook approaches. Before this, I would proxy camp hook a lot and tunnel a decent bit, but I noticed this held back my skill as a killer. I'm hoping one day I can improve to the point where I won't need to "assign" one survivor as my AVOID.

in TUNNELING IS NECESSARY Comment by derppug July 23, 2020

I only play solo queue when I play survivor (and I play survivor 75% of my 320 hours). I think it's boat loads of fun. Sure, you get ######### teammates. But learning how to do well that match despite them is part of the fun. Also, I think it's really fun to try to get loads of great skill checks, so being a gen ######### never bothered me. And the solo queue experience makes you a better survivor overall, I feel. I think I gotten much better at the game much more quickly than my friends who pretty much SWF their entire time.

Killer is loads of fun for me too, but it requires too much thinking 24/7 and this is taxing. Survivor is a bit more mindless as you can just m1 on a gen and just keep a lookout for where the killer might be. And only sometimes do you need to guess where your teammates are, but almost always it is better to just sit on a gen. Meanwhile, you always have to make sure you are applying pressure as killer or you just lose. It's so hard to play games for hours this way. I feel like I can play maybe 1-2 hours of killer before I have to switch to survivor. But I can play survivor 3-4 hours straight before I want a break.

But if a a killer sees 2 or more med kits they can just switch to plague completely wasting all healing items and perks basically cool fun for killer , what is also cool if a survivor able to see " the shape " and all of them play an offering for mnt Ormond or red forest , instead of having to suffer through 10 minutes of scratch mirror at Gideon
I could see if they made super useful perks that hard target a killer like calm spirit vs a clown if you want to use it
But honestly until they remove how " generous" the hit box is on the survivor I think this change will is a good direction to making killers actually improve their skill instead of just being like I can M1 and whip my mouse and I'll hit anything or it's fine it he already touched the ground vaulting out the two story building the game will most likely give me the hit as long as I go for it lol

This should nto even exist to be honest. You should now be allowed to switch killers to counter what you see in the lobby. That ruins an aspect of the game. That's like survivors being able to see killers and if they bring moris. Survivors could all switch off their medkids if they see a Plague or legion, etc. It's good that BHVR is getting rid of this aspect of the game, so as to make a more fair and balanced queue overall.

in Why is there a killer lock but survivors can still swap out whenever they want? Comment by derppug July 22, 2020

I enjoy solo queue survivor. I feel like it makes me a better player because of all the ######### I put up with. I think if you can get good at being a solo queue survivor, you'd be a good asset to any SWF team. Also, I am used to adapting from playing bot lane in league and support in OW, so I guess it just bothers me less.

I think recently hit red ranks killer is a much worse experience, as you are bombarded with nonstop SWF and have no idea how to handle them.

The problem is that it's only being implemented for killers. Quick switching has always been a problem, and now that the Devs have implemented a system that locks characters... It only locks the killers. Survivors can still quick switch to whatever broken item they want, on whatever broken skin they want, and not give killers any time to react. It just feels kind of unfair, especially when you add in the cheating software that lets survivors see what killer they are going against.

Honestly, just because an MMR system comes out does not mean that it will become more competitive. Competitive people already exist in the game and there is a meta (just look at the perks and killer tier lists). You can just choose to ignore it and play in whichever way you find enjoyable. It's not a big deal.

We also don't know if they will show us our MMR or not. If they don't, it for sure won't be competitive, as no one will see themselves going up or down in MMR.

An MMR system will fix a lot of the matchmaking problems. And I know people here cry about how the chaos of it makes games fun or you have Scott Jung who talks about how killers need that one ######### player so they can tunnel them out of the game to even have a chance. But having people of equal skill level will make more games more fun. I won't have to queue up and sit through a 15 minute game with a baby killer that essentially becomes a farmfest. Nor will I have to deal with baby survivors as teammates. I'll also be given the chance to practice different killers instead of feeling like I am stuck on whoever I can play at my current skill cap.

Also, the higher up in MMR you go, the less chances you are to have "farm" games. And those type of games are not fun at all. I understand why they exist (because the grind in this game is a mess). But when I log in to play, I want to actually play the game.

And lets not even bring up how people can cheat and see the killer in the lobby bringing items to counter them. I have seen them all switch to flashlights when i go hag

I don't think 2k is a win for killer. It's a draw. It shouldn't net a pip if we are just discussing kills alone. But honestly, the entire system is so trash that it makes the games feel very robotic if you want to pip, especially as a survivor.

I have no idea how you never play with hope. Some days I will have absolute d-bag killers and run DS for the next while. And then I'll eventually miss hope (or quick and quiet) and switch it out for that until I encounter a string (2-3) of killers than push me back into my DS stage.

If we asume that the win means a pip, 2k is never a win for the Killer. Its impossible to pip with 2k, even 3k and 4k sometimes you just stay on same rank. Its crazy.

This. The game ingrains in you the need to 4k. In order to get +2 pip you need to 4k. No if ands or butts. And getting +1 requires ~3k.

Survivors cant ever be skill based because their skills also rely on their teammates. A ######### teammate can make even the best survivor player ruin their game. Because a smart killer goes for the weaker link and this way their team crumbles.

Looking at the meg that blow up a gen that was 80% twice and put it at 50%. And then literally a couple minutes later came over to the gen I was working on and blow that one up. Some people can't even press m1 and space correctly. I don't want to make it harder for them lmao

in When do you plan to make survivors skill based too?? Comment by derppug July 19, 2020

They should just make it so that there is a penalty for queueing up with more people. Like make gen progress slower depending on the number of people in your SWF and make it extremely discouraging to 4 stack. A duo? -5% Trio? -15% 4-stack? -30%. But don't punish two SWF duos for getting paired together. If that happens, it should still just be -5%

This way, it gives the killer a chance to make stuff happen while encouraging SWF will big parties to communicate to overcome the penalty.

@isilmerel said:
This could be solved with a casual mode (rainbow ranks/swfs) and ranked mode (limited ranks/swfs need to be closer in rank).
Ranked mode just restricts ranks in the party (which would result in longer queues). Red ranks only match with 1 rank up/down. Purple within 2 ranks. Green, Yellow, Gray within 3 ranks.
Casual mode gets half BP. Ranked mode gets full BP. That way, at least people who want to swf with rainbow rank friends and still progress their characters can have their fun games, ranked can be left to sweaty players.
That's just my opinion, anyway.

If there is a ranked mode, I pray they never allow any SWFs in. Even duos would be iffy. Make it purely a solo experience.

in Possible Solution for SWF Teams (Killer-Buff) Comment by derppug July 19, 2020

I feel you. I got to rank 3 playing only Nurse. I find myself getting bored and wanting to try out other killers, but when I play other things I enjoy I get smashed. I don't mind the toxic survivors, hell sometimes I even enjoy them because they GIVE me opportunities to practice more often than not (they'll try to get chased and stick around past the gates being open). I'll take teabags for that. But I hate how rushed the game gets and I feel like I have no opportunity to even do anything. I had to stop playing hag and legion because, even though they interest me, the experience has been not the most fun. Hell, I even tried to learn Spirit and suck (can confirm that the "easy 4k" circlejerk is an absolute falsity). That said, I understand why each killer doesn't have their own rank, as going up against people rank 20-11 would not be fun for either party.

I plan to just AFK wraith before ranked reset next month and get myself down to rank 5, so I can reset down much further.

Here's my tier list.

I'd rate freddie significantly more frustrating/unfun than spirit. But I'll let them share a category, even though she sits closer to "unfun" than Freddie's category.

Some of the "meh" categories have unfun aspects (e.g. Pig's RNG or Deathslingers ability to close the gap and m1 while you are busy trying to dodge or Hag's tendency to camp hooks/basement/3gens), but overall their unfun aspects don't make the round feel like a pain in the ass (unless they are a good player, but a good player will make any round hellish).

Legion is the only killer I was a bit confused on how I rank him. Some days I absolutely do not feel like dealing with a Legion and other days I think it's fun to try to loop him. I always feel polarized, but more often than not I think it is fun to verse one.

I disagree. I have no issues scoring as many points as the killer does in my matches and sometimes more. I don't think it needs to be easier for survivors to gain bps. Now comparing wglf and bbq yeah i agree completely. wglf offers no incentive other than bps and is usually not run in favor of perks that will at least do something for you in the game.

On average, most survivors will get 14-20k, whereas killers will be upper 20s. It's problematic.
