Nothing you can really change about it but I wonder why this game specifically. What drives that? I've seen many of the survivors 2 viewer twitch streams and ppl who play this game are consistently fruity so maybe its gay rage
Yeah who could forget that time in Friday the 13th when a guy turned around and started dancing a jig in front of Jason Vorhees.
Like come on, I know I'm not good at this game. That's why I should be matched against people who are ALSO not good at this game, so we'll be on a more even playing field and I'll have a chance to get better at the game. Then again, if this crap is what I can expect out of higher ranks I'd rather not.
But yes, survivors do that to annoy you or get your attention.
The game is horribly balanced, so unless you purchase some pay to win perks and watch ‘how to play killer’ YouTube videos you’re gonna struggle a fair bit.
We actually can't. A few years back Steam changed it so that profiles were uh... "semiprivate" by default so we can see some things but not your game library. I was also totally unaware until someone told me so I'm just letting you know in case you thought it was fully public.
Anyway, yeah, the game is rough for new players and it will only become more so. That's how all long-running games are trending towards these days, sadly. They get more bloated with all sorts of different, important and nuanced details but you still need to know every single one of them lest you get hit with Power Struggle or Bite the Bullet or something and have no idea what even went wrong. Can't imagine playing something like League for the first time in 2023 and needing to know what 648 abilities + items do. At least DBD is a little more approachable, as killer you will only run into a fraction of that.
For resources I'd recommend visiting nightlight dot gg and looking at the top 10 most used survivor perks, if you don't already know what they do. If you want to go insanely in the weeds on something Otzdarva on Youtube has multiple ~10 hour videos where he talks about almost everything in this entire game. It's too much to watch front to back but they're usually timestamped.
We can't duo as killer obviously, but if you want to pair up for some Survivor at some point hit me up and we can see if we're in the same general region. I'm not particularly good but I'm well-versed, for what that's worth.
It's a genuine thing they do to gaslight the killer player into "playing nice", or in other words, so you play for their fun, and not yours.
For example, a few weeks ago, I had a bunch of survivors use a build that drastically reduced the availability of hooks, and would then go get down in a corner. Another part of their build was that they could self-revive themselves infinitely. So I would sit there in the corner with them and just wait and down them. I would have picked them up if they crawled to a hook or didn't struggle, but they didn't.
After they eventually bled out, they threatened to report me for "holding them hostage", claiming I held them in the game against their will, and told me that I should have "just take the loss". That isn't how the rule works, and it's survivors attempting to weaponize the report system. A new player may not know that, though.
However, people on the killer side are not innocent either. Both sides just claw at each others' necks and everyone's miserable, pretending that each side has it better and that their side has it worse, when the reality is that both sides can be miserable to play for a multitude of reasons and then innocent people who just want to chill and have fun, either with a whacky build or don't care that much for trying to play efficiently, get dragged in the middle of it by being insulted or treated poorly. Then that side wonders why the other side treats them like ♥♥♥♥ still.
Oh yeah and i forgot, people sending friend requests just to insult you more after...
Exactly.
Whenever I played DBD I had to set my steam profile private, because I kept getting disgusting abuse in my comments. This was while I was playing *survivor* if you can believe it and all the comments was from my team mates.
The killers never bothered to go out of their way to harass me. But some survivors are literally psycho who go above and beyond once you ignore their message in end game chat
