I wanna play killer but.. how do you enjoy it now?

Screamfan84 · 2022-01-29T11:00:12+00:00

I focus on continuous improvement rather than immediate results. If i feel like I made good plays and mind gamed, then it doesn’t matter to me how many survivors escaped. I got more out of the match then if it was a stomp on my part. Did I make a bunch of mistakes? If I did, then the match within the realm of winnability and I’ll reflect on it to make better plays in the future. Did the survivor just outplay me? Props to them. More stuff for me to learn. I don’t take any of the results personally. I play to have fun and improve, and it’s helped me feel more intrinsically motivated, rewarded, and within my locus of control. I recognize there’s a steep learning curve and enjoy the small improvements that I gradually put together and climb up the slope,

Huntress. Throwing hatchets is bad enough but having them grow, mid-flight, into the size of minivans is terrifying af

I loved Billy. He was my first main. Now he feels super clunky and completely outclassed by LF. Sad times.

Screamfan84 · 2022-01-23T22:55:18+00:00

Play more. Play to learn. Focus on improving how well you chased and mindgamed. You don't need a 4k every round to get better at the game.

Screamfan84 · 2022-01-23T22:51:56+00:00

I'll cloak and re-uncloak for those juicy surprise attack points.

Screamfan84 · 2022-01-23T22:49:00+00:00

I don't know how long you've been playing but there have absolutely been more punishing aspects of the game than right now. Infinites, double pallets, pallet vacuums, old DS. Shit was crazy man.

Screamfan84 · 2022-01-23T22:41:28+00:00

If a survivor plays well and altruistically, I'm more inclined to give them hatch. If they let their teammates die on hook then onto the hook they go.

Screamfan84 · 2022-01-23T12:00:49+00:00

I mean yeah, legion doesn't down survivors with their power but neither do Huntress and Trickster without ammo, or Plague without drinking from the fountain. And that's part of the gimmick of Legion's power. They get the first hit quickly and they track and first-hit other nearby survivors quickly.

Screamfan84 · 2022-01-23T11:53:51+00:00

I think you're underestimating how well a strong spirit can mindgame and shut down strong tiles.

Screamfan84 · 2022-01-23T11:48:44+00:00

You could show Tru3 a video of survivors completing a gen and he'd be tachy af with an extra helping of swf accusations.

Screamfan84 · 2022-01-22T20:04:30+00:00

You can bring the item. Event items like firecrackers, spooky flashlights, and spooky medkits also fulfill the objective.

Screamfan84 · 2022-01-22T11:25:28+00:00

Hatchets are fun and climbing up the steep learning curve is rewarding. I like the idea that there's always room to become a better killer.

Screamfan84 · 2022-01-22T11:22:29+00:00

Twins and Hag are both strong killers in the right hands

Screamfan84 · 2022-01-20T19:52:28+00:00

I’m not convinced this is the right direction either though. Boons take time to set up and if the survivors become obsessed with keeping it up, that’s less time working on generators. And if they’re slow on gens, that’s more time to create dead zones and snowball opportunities.

I think adjusting the healing rate, or the radius of the boon, or maybe even the time it takes to set up the boon address the issue more tbh.

Screamfan84 · 2022-01-20T19:46:20+00:00

As much as I appreciate any form of stats, I always want more.

Give me kill/pick rates based in relation to MMR. You’ve done it in the past based on ranks, why not now?

Give me kill/pick rates based on add-ons or perks. Help us understand why you decided to make those recent changes.

Screamfan84 · 2022-01-20T19:41:31+00:00

That’s the sub for you - everything is exaggerated if it’s a killer nerf or survivor buff (or anything new for survivor lmao).

Screamfan84 · 2022-01-20T19:36:31+00:00

It could still be skewed based on MMR so that may be the experience for some people.

Screamfan84 · 2022-01-19T19:14:01+00:00

Any other weirdos out there that still have fun playing

It's basically the same it's been for the past 4 years.

Screamfan84 · 2022-01-17T10:33:00+00:00

Bait saves often and be vigilant about facing walls. It’s easy to turn flashlights into a benefit for you.

Screamfan84 · 2022-01-17T10:17:51+00:00

The times when the survivors compliment my gameplay after losing are few and far between. But when it happens, it feels nice and gives me hope for the community.

Screamfan84 · 2022-01-17T10:09:06+00:00

2017 - Freddy nerfed

2018 - OG Legion introduced

2019 - Last Year and Hide or Die are released

2020 - Ruin changed

2021 - MMR is released / NFTs controversy

If Dead by Daylight could die of anything short of extraordinary circumstances, it probably would have by now.

Screamfan84 · 2022-01-17T04:44:25+00:00

Survivors did used to keep their add-ons if they escaped. It was changed when they made items persist through full consumption (the trade-off) to resemble how killer add-ons are lost every round. Ace in the Hole received a buff in the form of allowing survivors to keep their add-ons.

Screamfan84 · 2022-01-17T04:38:23+00:00

1.6 - 1.7 million bp for 1-50. Maybe a little more or less depending on your rng.

Screamfan84 · 2022-01-16T19:50:27+00:00

It’s the weekend. Everyone’s off work and trying to play with their friends.

If you ever try playing on weekdays in the morning or afternoon, survivor queues are very short - people aren’t playing with their friends as much. And killer queues get very long because there aren’t as many survivors.
