What's the point?
Hi people of the fog, Revicodi69 here and i just wanted to ask killer mains or people who experiment with killer one question. What's the point of playing killer?

DISCLAIMER: For the survivor mains, this post is not for u directed toward you nor will your comments will be address. Because obviously you have a narrative or will look at this one sided.

BTW, I do play both. Check the achievements.

Let me clarify, what's the point of playing killers that are fun (i.e. give the survivors a bigger chance to survive and give yourself the killer, a challenge) like bubba, trapper, billy, clown, or any other killer that is not nurse, spirit, huntress, or hag.Also without using strong killers that could be argued OP (nurse, spirit) or using perks, offerings, and add ons that make the game zzzzz for survivor (legion= snooze feast).

Because if you play any other killer other then the top tier killers you have a high chance of losing. The odds are incredibly stacked against you int his game as killer. Like, DS getting that buff were enduring doesn't counter it, keys, tool boxes, inst heals ( BEFORE PATCH surv mains... but it still can give u bt, so...), maps with "god" loops and "unmindgameable" pallets, poor ruin placements, bad RNG, and.. and... and... the list goes on and on.

But i do feel that two out of all the unbalanced things that stack against the kiiler(s) is SWF comms and the unfair gen speed to chase ratio.

Comms

You as a swf crew can just announce were the killer is while u chase them they will tell there m1 simulator buddies to gen rush, which brings us to the other top tier problem. (Comms just needs to go away in this game)

Gen Speed

Completely unfair and utterly unbalanced part of the game, If you chase you'll lose to the gen rushing . If you hook survivors you'll lose to the gen rushing. If you use your abilities as killer you lose to the gen rushing, If you do or don't break pallets you lost to gen rushing. If you do or don't break chase you'll lose to gen rushing. If you gen patrol, you'll lose to gen rushing. If you use any other killer than nurse or spirit, guess what...... you lose the gen rushing.

Guess what you have to do to survive? GEN RUSH!

If i can get serious for a sec, my point is that the odds are not in your favor as killer and that i see that there is not point in to playing killers that are enjoyable to play as. (IMO! SURV MAINS, NOT FACT) But even if you use the strong killers, you still have a high chance of losing. Whether it be gen rushing or keys. Don't really understand how the devs feel that this game is balance or fair.

Thanks for your time and see you in the fog.

I play killer because it's more challenging than playing survivor, without mentioning more bloodpoints gained.
P.s: I play all killers but my main is trapper (too much satisfaction when you see someone fall into your trap).

And about genrush and keys... Hillbilly with red mori and instasaw exist so... Wanna play dirty? Then don't complain if I'll adapt to your broken stuff...

What rank? (usually you'll find more easily matches in 12-8 ranks)

The practice makes you stronger, in my case only some killers are weak to me and using them means losing almost always, but the real reason i play killer is because no matter the gen rush no matter the swf my builds and skills (im not saying im a pro, i need a lot to learn) gives me a better chance, and if i lose..the errors i commited makes that in the next game i dont commit them again (well not that fast but you know)....i think the most problem is the ranks, no that behaviour deactivated them youre more likely to get red or purple ranks who only wants to rush and troll...poor ranks 20s

The point (for me anyway):
Bloodpoints either from daily rituals, BBQ, or both. I personally don't find playing killer fun because of the above reasons, but from a bloodpoint perspective its more profitable than survivor.

It' easy to find a game in reds as killer,dunno about other ranks tho.

Also killer is more fun

I agree both keys and moris are cancer in this game.

But pls don't say "insta saw" Billy is OP when it barely even helps countering loops, he can't do ♥♥♥♥ about it.

You can't really appreciate the game unless you play both sides. Killer is more of a challenge but as a killer that doesn't run Ruin on any killer but Wraith, I can say that sometimes you just have to accept that one or two hooking everyone even if they all get away can still be satisfying. Also I happen to play all survivors and killers but main Pig and can honestly say that I 4K almost every match I play with her. Its just about how you play. Gen rush is pure SWF bull and is the most noob way to play the game.

TLDR; If you only play survivor and SWF then you have no idea how to actually play this game.
Having fun with Huntress and Billy, occasionally Plague and Legion, while playing on weaker perks, just play both sides for fun and the game's alright. We just need to get rid of keys and moris, biggest downside I've seen so far.

i am rank 16 (and i never rank up) i am damn useless , sad but true. give me some credit for being an honest gaming idiot. i have over a 1000 hours of play time. yes i truly am a failure. i have learned to love being a failure. this game killed my ego.

Yeah. It allows you to see the game in a different light once you've played both sides for some time.

I honestly preferred killer more that survivor since I don't have to rely on RNG for teammates as a killer. xD

I've on just started playing again after about a year break, but I don't think I'll go back to killer since the ques are so long and I hate how the devs butchered my main killer, sweater boi.
