Why playing killer is easier

Because you wont have to rely on teammates,even in sfw playing with premade teams,not having someone to rely on but yourself means if you're skilled,you cant go wrong,as survivor even if you're skilled,you can still lose if your teammates aren't.I sure wish there was a survivor mode where you have to survive on your own without worying about your teammates.

Me when I hear someone say playing killer is easier after I just got 7 straight escapes with my 3 SWF teammates alive in all games at red ranks:
For me its the other way around,where is that on mic swf at?
If on console invite your team to your party, start a lobby as survivor, invite others to the game, if on PC, if I'm correct, I think you need discord and then invite others to the aprty there, then to your lobby.
If any PC player can correct me about how to create a PC party to hear each other I'd apreciate it, I only play Xbox and PS4.
Even as a killer main, when I hear killer is easier I be like:
I mean, sure, if your team tanks the match than you can share the blame around (if you want), but sharing blame for a loss doesn't make the game itself easier. As survivor even if you're getting into a lot of chases you're going to be spending large chunks of the match holding M1 to do OBJ or holding M1 to do altruism.
As killer you need to be playing at 100% for the entirety of the match. Any mistake they make can get them hooked, but they can get hooked up to 3 times. Any major mistake you make can cost you the entire match.
Requires third party software like Discord or Skype - Steam's built in voice chat doesn't really work
Not to metion most Survivor Perks like DH or the DS&Unbreakable combo.
THANKS! OP! This!
Yes, I'd actually divide difficulty like this:
Ultra Easy: SWF with mics
Very Easy: SWF no mics
Easy: Solo Survivor
Medium: S and A Tier Killers
Hard: B and C tier killers
Very Hard: D and E tier killers
Ultra Hard: D or lower tier killers in huge maps like cornfierlds
Killer is easier? The Blight, meet @Dzeikor.
if you play a killer you're experienced with you gonna have no troubles
U do realize is that all u said is that as a survivor your individual skill matters less. That doesn't imply killer is easier.
1 on 1 Survivor vs Killer in a separate game.
I love that idea!
That captures the climax of almost all slasher films, where it’s jus the sole survivor facing off against the killer.
Change the rules/ objectives a bit, possibly restructure entirely to fit the 1 on 1.
All new maps specifically for this feature.
Killers are buffed up.
Survivor has an arsenal of implements at their disposal through the realms to take the killer down.
Both sides get to mori
Great potential. Much contemplation to figure out jus how it would all work.
It wouldn’t happen for a few years until Behaviour increases financially and personnel wise, and hopefully expanded playerbase, but it’s a really fun notion to collaborate on.
I’d love to play DBD like that.
As a killer, I actually find this this completely accurate. Yea swf can be easy but not always. Killer on the other hand. Killers have the upper hand in every match. Mainly because anytime survivors get ANYTHING good, they bitch about it and it gets nerfed while killers keep their BS skills.
I play survivor and killer and always solo.
I never rely on my team and always make sure I did everything I could for me and the team.
I never care about escaping, it doesn't give anything extra (except from a few bp extra and keeping your item), I care for the chases cause these are the most fun for me than sitting at a gen.
And yet I still escape 90% of the time.
As a survivor you can mess up many time, especially with the right perks, as killer making a mistake it can cost you much.
As killer, try and go against a well organised swf.
Or a 4 man swf with OoO.
I wish you al the best In those matches cause you'll need that.
So imo before making any assumptions like which side is easier, I suggest you play both in red ranks.
If you do, than you might want to check out what you can do better as survivor, because survivor is damn easy mode.
😉✌️
-looks at DS, BT, Adrenaline, DH, Soul Guard, Unbreakable, Sprint Burst- yeah totally.
Even if you were right, things getting nerfed because they're strong doesnt mean much, killer perks get nerfed even when they're not good to begin with (Gear head), I also don't know what these "BS" skills you're talking about are, killer perk are weaker then survivor perks in most cases, but that might just be because of the above mentioned group which has been around for ages and has not been touched.
Also you must be green rank, inexperienced, or biased if you think killers have the upper hand if they're not playing Spirit, Nurse, or Freddy. I play in a duo and the game is easy most of the time, not to mention any more like a 3 man or something.
Survivors whine much more than killers also, js.
Killer has to win the games 5 times atleast because of stacking second chance perks.
Killer is easier as doing nothing in a match, dieing first hook and then waiting for your mates that they do the job?
One really should play a few killer matches...
I exclusively play solo survivor and I disagree with this. Sure, not all games go well and sometimes the Killer wipes the floor with my team, and as Killer you don't have 3 other players to worry about who might, as my most recent game shows, throw themselves at the killer and bum rush the hook while you do a gen. In the end nothing is accomplished and the Killer walks away with a 4k in 3 minutes. But playing Survivor is easier and much more relaxed.
Um..... every perk you mentioned has been nerfed pretty recently. AND! DS is usable once per match, deadhard has a hefty cooldown, unbreakable is usable once, Adrenaline can only be used AFTER all gens are done, Sprint Burst only gives a slight chance to escape yet killers still manage to get the people running, and soul guard, bubba can counter that pretty easily like with BT. And BT? Wow. Complaining about the ONLY CONSISTENT tunneling counter. Wonderful. Especially since ENDURANCE ISNT AS STRONG AS YOU THINK IT IS! And killers have no strong perks? Um. Ok. Insidious, Corruption, bbq, hex: ruin, iron maiden, overcharge, Dragon's Grip, and then dont get me started on Add-ons. Killers have complete control every time.
This is a pointless conversation. The two roles are apples and oranges. Don't you have something BETTER to be doing?
Not really. Us nerds like to argue about [BAD WORD] things. But it does at least keep me from severely strangling people so yea.
Me, I'd rather be playing the game. If I wasn't at work, that is what I'd be doing rather than posting. :)
Cool story, bro. I'm waiting for a match AND posting. So. Yea. Um. Cool.
My actual post is going to need approval but I realized I missed something..... SURVIVORS COMPLAIN MORE THEN KILLERS?!?!?! DID YOU REALLY SAY THAT?!?!?! I think somebody needs to go sit down and actually count how many posts on this forum are killers complaining and survivors complaining. Every time I came on here it's a killer complaining about the hatch, DS, Sprint burst, gen rushing, yada yada. I see maybe 2 or 3 out of the list as survivors complaining about lack of cosmetics or campers or tunneling. Not perks....
There's a survivor handbook, there's not a killer handbook, theres a reason why that is thrown around so much, you cant win with survivors. You need to sit down. the amount of matches I play with survivor salt is to the point its expected after every match, killers not so much. You're delusional. But to each their own.There are daily multiple threads complaining about boo hoo tunneling and camping, survivors are now asking for DC penalties to stay gone, I can't. On that note survivors DC much more often than killers do.
So yeah survivors complain much more than killers do, and you cant convince me otherwise because I'm right :)
Well thats a little arrogant and hostile, but you'll have a hard time convincing me.
I'm delusional? Wow. While yes I agree that survivors quit more and are salty, the amount of killers complaining about EVERY SINGLE SURVIVOR PERK literally outweighs the amount that survivors complain about. There is salt on both sides but I guarantee that killers complain so much more on the forum. I complain to my wife after being camped, but not often in here
Don't tell me your wife is the killer? 😲
Lol nah. We play survivors together
At the time of writing this there are 2 killer sided complaints and 6 survivor ones one the first page of general discussions alone. These are just complaints not the ones asking questions or trying to have a discussion or bugs or anything. Yeah I'd say survivors complain more, about 3 times as much right now lol.
Mind you PH just got announced that he's getting looked at for "balance" if there was a time for killers to be complaining it would be now, yet there's more survivor threads.
