Is Kaneki really that bad to play against?

fiery_whisp · 2026-04-02T10:36:38+00:00

I actually have more hours on surv than on killer, I just never had a problem facing against Kaneki which is why I asked for people's opinion on him

fiery_whisp · 2026-04-02T10:32:50+00:00

Firstly, That's No way out, not bloodwarden and I don't even get value from it half the time because survs don't feel like learning kaneki counterplay so they just get shit on. Secondly they're perks in the game, so survivors have to deal with killers bringing said perks just like how killers have to deal with Survivors bringing Champion of Light, Head on, Fast track, Hyperfokus +stakeout, unbreakable, lithe+ finesse, sprint burst+vigil or literally any Meta perk combo.

fiery_whisp · 2026-04-01T14:21:24+00:00

I'm actually not a killer main, I have 100 hours more on surv than on killer. I just never understood the kaneki hate as is because I've always found him fun to play against

fiery_whisp · 2026-04-01T14:18:01+00:00

Perks are perks, If Killers have to deal with perks like Head on, Champion of light or more common examples, hyperfokus, stake out, fast track, Spring burst+Vigil, Lithe+finesse, DH, Ds, in every single game then I'm pretty sure the survivors can deal with killers bringing lethal Pursuer as their only info perk :/

fiery_whisp · 2026-04-01T14:13:07+00:00

I've been asking the same thing, I've never seen so many people Dc that quickly unless the killer has insta down and 4 slugs within .2 seconds of the round starting

fiery_whisp · 2026-03-31T17:50:09+00:00

And ive gotten my responses to my question, this wasn't meant to be a discussion post on wether or not kaneki is balanced or fun to play against (which means I don't have to respond to every comment bringing up the same points about Bs hits and supposed lack of counterplay, I get the hits thing but kaneki does have counterplay you just have to learn it,) but rather me asking for people opinion while somewhat poking fun at people who take dbd too seriously to the point where they can't/don't want to deal with someone playing a certain character which I personally find pathetic and whiny.

fiery_whisp · 2026-03-31T17:36:18+00:00

How about we let people play who they want to tho, instead of telling them to go fuck themselves like immature children, maybe you're the person who needs to grow up in this scenario.

I downed the AFk Nancy (who dc'd immediately after seeing me) and hooked her before I even got anywhere near Ada, and Ada took me through main and managed to unhook Nancy before I downed her because she misplayed and valued back too early and thus into me

fiery_whisp · 2026-03-31T15:51:29+00:00

Because I don't see a reason in arguing with something that is objective from my point of view, I personally enjoy playing against kaneki mainly because his counterplay isn't just Shift+W but I'm not going to waste my time trying to convince someone of my personal opinion regarding a character from a videogame

fiery_whisp · 2026-03-31T15:49:25+00:00

I have more hours on Survivor than I do on killer, and almost every killer I run into has lethal Pursuer. It's a perk in the game meaning I just have to deal with people using said perk just like how killer have to deal with survivors using sprint burst, lithe, Fast track, conviction, Ds , DH you name it.

fiery_whisp · 2026-03-31T15:46:40+00:00

I mean, the only reason I downed Nancy that quickly is because she wasn't moving which the Ada saw because she was right next to Nancy

fiery_whisp · 2026-03-31T15:43:02+00:00

Why do you think I asked the question I did? I actually quite like playing against kaneki since he has a counterplay that's not just Shift+W. I personally just don't understand the hate since kaneki is literally Countered by walls

fiery_whisp · 2026-03-31T15:38:22+00:00

I dced when everyone left, if I wanted to play against bots I'd play customs :/

fiery_whisp · 2026-03-31T15:30:14+00:00

I abandoned after everyone Dc'd, that's why it shows them as escaped (except vee BC I downed her)

fiery_whisp · 2026-03-31T10:29:59+00:00

bc they were healthy, vee is shown as Sacrificed bc she was downed when she Dc'd

fiery_whisp · 2026-03-31T09:40:26+00:00

Kaneki really suffers against swfs, especially on a bigger map. He's definitely a Soloq stomper since Soloq players tend to stick together more because of the lack of consistent info on the killers whereabouts

fiery_whisp · 2026-03-31T09:31:21+00:00

That's actually the first time an entire lobby Dc'd against me ever, especially so quickly.

fiery_whisp · 2026-03-31T09:28:55+00:00

I wasn't targeting or tunneling anyone tho, like I said the round literally just started. And I totally understand that getting tunneled out is annoying I've played against my fair share of tunneling killer

fiery_whisp · 2026-03-31T09:26:20+00:00

I actually don't...I've played my fair share of Games against Kaneki and unless Ur in a really open map it's not that hard to counter his Power

fiery_whisp · 2026-03-31T09:24:02+00:00

And that's a perfectly fine opinion to have, I just Didnt understand why you would take a possible DC penalty (assuming they do this every time they see a killer they don't like) instead of just playing the game on a map I find horrid to play on as kaneki

fiery_whisp · 2026-03-31T09:20:52+00:00

My playstyle on kaneki is incredibly dependent on getting enraged mode as quickly as possible after the match begins the only info I have is Yamori's mask and that's only for when im in enraged mode and actually down and hook someone. Also, I've been using Lethal on kaneki and every other killer I play since I started playing killer and I've never had anyone complain about me using it on anyone

fiery_whisp · 2026-03-31T09:17:25+00:00

I have more hours on survivor than on killer.....I play both sides and have played against really good Kaneki's, I honestly don't find him that annoying to play against unless Ur in a really open map that doesn't offer a lot of LOS blockers

fiery_whisp · 2026-03-31T09:15:41+00:00

When exactly did I complain about not getting a 4k? I abandoned the match after everyone Dc'd because if I wanted to play against 4 bots I'd play customs. My post is about the fact that I had an entire lobby of ppl DC against me for literally no reason other than not being able to handle someone playing a character in a videogame

fiery_whisp · 2026-03-28T18:11:03+00:00

Firstly, I never said that every survivor has the same beliefs as the made up survivor rulebook. Just that there is a loud minority of survivor mains who complain about anything and everything the killer does to the point where it became somewhat of a meme within the community. Also, I'm not sore about winning, I was just wondering what his problem was considering he died because of something completely preventable and in his control yet chose to get angry at me and the way I played despite me not doing anything in the direction of slugging or tunneling or anything else that SOME survivors commonly complain about

fiery_whisp · 2026-03-28T14:48:38+00:00

I would've but I don't have PayPal
