I'm on a break from DbD. Probably won't be back until 2021. Are you console or PC in Overwatch? If console: drats. But I also play Paladins, which has crossplay.
Also, check out Spellbreak. Coming from a fella that usually dislikes BRs, it's very, very fun. Especially all the elemental interactions not only between your two gauntlets, but also triple interactions when in a Squad (and Duos come in this week). Spellbreak is also crossplay.
If they added that, they would have to end with. "He is likely running NOED though, so only one of you is likely to survive. If you take the time to cleanse totems, that gives the killer time for a third kill. If you don't, he will likely get 1 to 2 more anyways. Good Luck!"
Camping and tunneling to extreme is the number 1 thing that drove me to become a killer main years ago. It's boring and quite broken with the right perks. SWF is the only answer, which I think also dampens the horror aspect. Not knowing what the others are doing is part of the fun. But, that's why solo play is dying. I face more and more SWF now than ever before.
I've spent 800 hours as a solo survivor main. Unfortunately the devs do not care about tunneling or camping, as proven by the fact they consider it a "legitimate strategy", even though it is something that harms the game and its community. It's just one of the reasons I cannot gain respect for the devs.
But don't worry, I'm sure the next update will benefit killers again. The next chapter will provide more broken synergy perks and give the survivor useless ones, again.
Me too. You got beat by a well coordinated SWF that specifically genrushed and ignored all other aspects of the game and you claim the game is survivor sided and is the power role. I don't see that being a balance metric, as you are leaving out the majority of the survivor playerbase.
As a matter of fact, I hardly play killer anymore because there is no challenge! I know I am going to stump every single match unless it is a well coordinated SWF and even then I pull out some tricks and beat them (ie. tunneling, camping, slugging).
Solo is the only challenge and I'm noticing a very unhealthy trend.
"You got beat by a well coordinated SWF that specifically genrushed and ignored all other aspects of the game and you claim the game is survivor sided and is the power role."
What are you talking about? I haven't even mentioned anything about SWF nor has that anything to do with my opinion at all.
You jumped to a conclusion based a presumption about me that isn't actually true.
"I don't see that being a balance metric, as you are leaving out the majority of the survivor playerbase."
I never said or implied it was a metric at all. You completely made this assumption on your own.
"As a matter of fact, I hardly play killer anymore because there is no challenge! I know I am going to stump every single match unless it is a well coordinated SWF and even then I pull out some tricks and beat them (ie. tunneling, camping, slugging)."
No one who actually plays killer at any significant level or amount believes this. Mind linking your stats on your profile to back this up?
If you are part of a killer-centric circle-fest how will you know anything else? Several of my long-time friends won't touch the game because they feel the killer is too powerful. A decent killer that knows the ins-and outs is way too oppressive. They got sick of the never-ending survivor nerfs. They had several hundred hours before quitting, one had thousands. They won't touch the game and now hate the game.
I'm not about to link my profile but I am on the first page of the DBD leaderboards if you so desire.
"If you are part of a killer-centric circle-fest how will you know anything else?"
And what makes you think I am apart of that? As I've already said, I also have played survivor at rank 1 for years with thousands of hours. Just because I disagree with you doesn't mean I surround myself in some killer main gossip fest. I've just played the game long enough on both sides to have a better view of its balance.
"Several of my long-time friends won't touch the game because they feel the killer is too powerful."
Then they haven't played the game very much.
"A decent killer that knows the ins-and outs is way too oppressive."
No one with a decent amount of hours and high rank experience would agree with this statement.
"They got sick of the never-ending survivor nerfs."
Because in general survivors have been too strong for a very long time and still are.
"They had several hundred hours before quitting, one had thousands."
Hundreds is quite little and if he had thousands he definitely didn't play much killer.
"I'm not about to link my profile but I am on the first page of the DBD leaderboards if you so desire."
I looked up your profile and it confirms most my thoughts I presented here.
I used to be pc but now I play dbd and overwatch on console. (Xbox one). I also play ESO (Elder Scrolls Online) because I've been a skyrim and oblivion fan for so long and ESO is amazing. I actually switched from World of Warcraft after 10 years of that game. These games are a good break from DBD when the toxicity gets me. I usually jump on overwatch and blow people up as Junkrat to get my anger out lol.
As a killer who's been playing survivor I know what u mean and tbh I'm not enjoying playing either side. And problem is I being a rank 16 killer am going up against rank 4 to 1 survivors and I keep getting destroyed, like they win the game but they tbag me and message me saying gg ez it's annoying to run into these survivors and just have them purposely going out of there way to loop me round pallets and show how good they r. And when I play survivor I get killers that tunnel me down evertime out all the games I've played (which is like 79 hours) I've only escaped 10 out of the possible hundreds. It feels horrible and why Im tempted to do the same
I’m a red rank survivor and killer. Trust me, I’ve heard it all before. And I’ve already replied in this thread with arguments against what you’ve just said, so I’m not saying it again.
You are misunderstanding what I said. I said that many hours to have a good understanding of the game balance, not to have a fair shot a winning. Those are not synonymous.
You clearly didn't look up my profile because it doesn't actually show that. If you still think it does then elaborate what specifically on my profile says killer main.
My profile has many ranting and raving posts from survivors, when you check their profile (if it is not hidden or everything locked down) they have 200 kills and under with every survivor achievement unlocked.
Most of the community is clueless because they refuse to play the side they abuse knowing full well that they will get the same treatment if they do.
Yeah because the devs allow the toxicity in this game to go unchecked. I love dbd but in a lot of games teabagging is a banable offense because it's considered unsportsmanlike conduct. I feel if dbd actually punished toxic players instead of allowed it to happen you wouldn't have the long queue times. I've known and played with people who just love to bully the killer. My solution is to get rid of players who are toxic and stop saying camping and tunneling is a legitimate strategy yeah 25% of the time it works but 75% of the time it doesn't work and you lose the game
Ahhh, Junkrat. I have around 200 hours on him alone. Next is Lucio. I have way too many hours over there. In the four digits worth. 🤣
Lately, been playing mostly Dva, Zen, Brigiette, Ash, and Reaper in OW. Over in Paladins: Drogoz, Pip, and Raum. Still trying to see which gauntlet combos fit me best in Spellbreak. Right now I am leaning Fire/Toxic or Toxic/Wind.
I'm on a break from DbD because the "cannot hook" bug was a final straw for me. I'll give them six months or so to maybe get their game healthy, and if they do will be happy to return. Playing Bug Russian Roulette every time they patch has worn me down.

Yes this is a good Idea, why we don't have this alredy. That would be so good for the game.

I’ve been having a lot less fun recently, In the 8 games i played today. 6 Tunnled and 4 Brung Moris.
I know well enough about this game to know you are lying.

I'm not watching them, I've actually been playing them for years, and that isn't the case at all.
This is a player skill issue, not a balance issue. Survivor is currently the power role and it isn't even close. I play both sides at rank 1.
Me too. You got beat by a well coordinated SWF that specifically genrushed and ignored all other aspects of the game and you claim the game is survivor sided and is the power role. I don't see that being a balance metric, as you are leaving out the majority of the survivor playerbase.

how will you know i am lying ? And why should i? Dont talk trash you know nothing about.

I get out just as much maybe you just suck.
Because I wanted to. Just like how you felt the need to post this unneeded comment. 😉

You didn't answer my question. What grade are you in?
Because you were trying to insult the other person.
I'm currently finishing a masters in the medical field as well as holding multiple other certifications and licenses as well.

It's a real sad day to be alive, to be honest. I wish this game finally took a turn for the good... Ugh.
Ok. That is very good. Don't quit.
Exactly.
My profile has many ranting and raving posts from survivors, when you check their profile (if it is not hidden or everything locked down) they have 200 kills and under with every survivor achievement unlocked.

Yeah, that happens when the comunity just breeds the "US VS THEM!!" mentality, especially with mains being so noisy all the time.
Yeah because the devs allow the toxicity in this game to go unchecked. I love dbd but in a lot of games teabagging is a banable offense because it's considered unsportsmanlike conduct.

You dont have to play. Only spend some money. ))
Can you write this fanfic??? Please and thank you.
if you've heard it all before, then why are you here? I thought you were asking for help to enjoy the game and/or counter face camping.
Is it just a goodbye letter? Ok, goodbye then! Don't be so angsty though :)
I can give you some statistics for solo. The only thing wrong with solo right now is the mmr.
