Do You Play Both Roles (Killer & Victim) Or One?

[Huge Beard Guy]

Title ^^^

Do you play both roles (Killers & Victims) or just one role?

Personally I play and enjoy both roles. I tend to play Killers more at the moment but that's purely because the one achievement left that I can get is a killer one.

Both. You can tell the people who don't. They're the ones saying the game is killer or victim sided.

Both.

Cool. Ta for replying.

Perhaps. People do and will have opinions so I personally have no thoughts on that matter. After all, someone thinking "this side is stronger than the other" doesn't do any harm or mean that they're correct.

The point I was making is that it implies a lack of perspective. Playing one side means you're missing the full picture.

People who play both generally don't say things like that.

I don't have a victim mentality, so I don't choose to identify as one, and I believe in the importance of family values.

Both, but I prefer killer, more chill.

Main Leatherface, 2nd Cook. Hitch if I have to.

Main Connie, 2nd Sonny, Ana if I have to.

I understood you were speaking in general terms. Nonetheless, ta for the clarity.

Ha! Almost the same for myself killer wise. I go Leatherface and Cook but I prefer Sissy due to her singing.

Victims I go with whatever vibe I fancy playing;

Leland for offensive play. Ana for the House map (I like the window jumps) and Sonny for a general play style.

(?) Okay. As long as you're happy.

I play both but I prefer Victim side more. I usually go Connie > Julie > Ana and then Leland and Cook or Sissy for Family. I enjoy both sides, soloq sets up for interesting RNG of matches and occasionally I like to play with my other three friends so usually end up on Victim for the most part anyway.

This has an unusually involved answer for me. When the game first came out I started by generally playing Family, on the theory that they'd be better to learn the maps and general gameplay flow with... because I figured if I screwed up due to having no idea what I was doing with Killer, nothing too fundamentally crippling happens, whereas if I screwed up as Victiim... well, I'd be dead and out of the match. As time went on and I grew comfortable with the gameplay I switched to playing Victims as well... played almost exclusively Victims for a time in the hopes of getting decent with them, as it turns out it's one thing to know conceptually how Victim plays and a whole other to actually put it into practice in a tense situation.

But at one point I was constantly switching between the two. Ironically, as I got more experienced with the game and settled more into builds I liked, the less I swapped around. Currently I'm in a situation where I'm playing almost nothing but Family, but I... don't want to. The issue is I've realized almost all the builds I enjoy for Family members and Victims involve at least one, sometimes two, random Perks. Respeccing characters from 0 to 10 is tedious and time-consuming at the best of times, but it becomes exceedingly tiresome when I would want to do it multiple times. If I felt like hopping over to play some Victim, I'd need to respec out of enough Family members to give me the points to prop up... let's say Ana, and then probably Julie in case Ana is taken, oh and Leland to cover my bases in case both Ana and Julie are taken... that's a ton of time rerolling on three characters to get the builds I want to play with and level... and then the next time I want to play Family I need to do the process in reverse to get all the Family members I respecced out of back to where they were before... and then it all needs to repeat AGAIN if I wanted to swap back to Victims...

It's just not worth it. So currently I'm playing Family. Which is a shame, because I've been enjoying Victim more when I'm playing solo and Family more when I have a friend (or preferably two) available to play it with. This is like to continue until either the devs change how the progression system works, me and my friends decide to make a large-scale shift over to Victim for at least a period of time, or I eventually accumulate such an absurd amount of points that I can keep a respectable number of characters on both sides simultaneously leveled.

I couldn't agree more about solo q being interesting. I've had a few matches as a team but 90% of the time I'm solo.

That makes sense how you'd end up going victim if you're teaming up with that many friends. Ta for your reply.

[Zarok]

It's good to do both sides I just wish it was easier to level people especially as you often need to level more than one in case you don't get your first pick.

I find I get the most interesting matches in solo, the anticipation of whether you're gonna escape or not or get all the kills or not is something I find fun in since the matches can have a lot of variety and turning points. No worries.

Please excuse my - for lack of a better word - editing of your reply. Although I can relate to your reply I find myself in a different situation (I almost have every character levelled up to max).

Respeccing is indeed a "tedious and time-consuming" chore to do and one I haven't enjoyed.

Ta for your very detailed response.

[Rim Carrey]

I hit quickplay and play whatever I'm given.

[Yuu9]

Of course I have played both sides, but now I am committed to playing on the family side.
Anyone but Johnny will use it depending on the choices of the other players. (Leatherface included)

You seem to be playing to the limit to the point where you are at the highest level, but I can't get that much play time.
As several people have pointed out, there is no room at all for skill points, and I cannot afford to develop characters on both sides, as the character pick specifications make it inconvenient to have to develop more than one character.
Furthermore, the presence of random PERKs makes it more difficult to re-spec and change to a different character.

I play all of the family except Jonny because he sucks and for victims I play Connie and Leeland because playing solo victim is hell so you need the OP victims to survive.
