Getting looped as killer is extremely boring

[Astrostars2025]

I'm not really sure how to put this, but when I play killer, getting looped is SO boring.

Example and what I mean: I chase a survivor (let's go with Nancy) and she starts looping me around a big rock with a pallet. I keep chasing her and when I try to reverse the loop. Nothing happens except the same thing. Next thing I know we get to close to the pallet and... She drops a pallet on my face. Either that, or I back up and am forced to break it.

This process has been happening so much it's gotten REALLY boring to the point where I stopped playing. On the survivor side, it is much the same thing.

Just think of yourself as a cartoon villain with a benny hill theme song and it will make more sense.

You don't really play a killer, more of a joke to be ran around for a bit.

I agree the looping isn't really fun to deal with on an m1 killer even when I am winning. Basically you have to play a killer that has some ability to even the score, like huntress, blight, nurse... Even Nemesis is better at it than your average killer.

Yeah It's annoying
That's why I use Spirit Fury and Enduring
Throw in Brutal Strength and you eat them pallets like breakfast
Learn new ways to beat loops (Not a jab at your skill just saying)
Nothing more satisfying than outplaying someone

You have any suggestions on how to improve chase interactions?

Encourage more stealthiness? Improve horror aspects of the game and reduce the cartoon chase sequences?
Basically just remove looping.

I consistently eat the pallet, unless it’s easy to avoid, because this is objectively the worst part of the game.

[Kelath]

It is a skill, one which is hard to learn and that I am still learning as survivor and hate as killer to go against like you, especially those that are expert loopers.

But seriously, unless you have a suggestion on how to "fix/improve" the chase sequence, that might be more constructive.

The best I can say is using a killer that helps against loops, like Dredge.

And it's even more tedious with Made For This ... and then combined with Hope or other haste perks? sad m1 killer noises

[Demon Dorito]

Ya- I don't blame ya.

Nobody plays the big bad killer role just to run in a circle for several minutes every game.

It's literally "Run-In-A-Circle-Simulator 2023"

But in all fairness- it's the most survivors can really do to protect themselves. Best way to make it fun as the killer role is try to mind game them.

I was asking about how to improve chase interactions. "Remove them" is not a valid answer.
Horror has diminidhing returns, if you watch a scary movie a dozen times it gets less scary each time. Same with this game.
Playing against as stealthy team is the most boring while playing killer. It'll be just wandering around the map not chasing survivors while gens pop left and right.
It would also require the removal of aura reading and similar tracking perks et.al.

This is gold. Killers crying about how they can m1 everyone and kill everyone in 2 minutes is hilarious. Amazing. Trully remarkable.

Making survivors significal slower if they rub against a surface would be the easiest solution. everything else comming to my mind would need significant changes how movement for them work and eh, will not happen.

I play mainly killer, and I can tell you that being looped has never been fun or enjoyable for me. At least infinites have for the most part been removed though.

I don't really care if you don't find the game scary or not, being looped is not exciting gameplay for either side.

If that's what you got out of this thread, it truly is remarkable how poor your reading comprehension is.

I play voth and have to strongly disagree. Chase interactions are the most fun to have in this game, and looping is pretty much the only chase interaction.
And that'S what the game'S bveen balanced around for years now. You can't just remove that. That would require a massive rework of killers and maps again.

A god window is too strong for looping but makes a lot of sense for a game that's heavily stealth focused for example. It's there to give suirvivors a lot of distance to have a chance of losing the killer and hiding again.
We'd need to revert a lot of map changes.
And possibly make everything darker again.
Having a lot of aura reading/tracking perks makes sense while looping is the core gameplay which is balanced against gen speeds.
Those need removinbg or major reworks is stealth is survivors only option.
Stealth needs buffing then.

I do play a lot of killer myself and the nmost boring matches are the opnes againstpeople hiding all the time and blitziong gens.
That experience is just miserable and I don't understand why anyone would want that to be the core gameplay loop.

I hear ya...I ended up deciding to main Nurse for this reason.
Bubba with Spirit Fury is also pretty nice; with him, you have to deal with the dumb running in circles, but at least you can 1-hit down and break pallets quickly.
