It feels like DbD's devs are sacrificing Survivors' gameplay experience for the sake of trying to force Killers into learning how to actually play the game in unique ways instead of putting the same 4 Perks on every Killer they use.

But it isn't working. They keep getting handed everything on a silver platter and they still do the same shit. They still face camp, just conveniently right out of range. They still 3-Gen regardless of all the ways in which it's 'supposed' to be harder. They still tunnel a single person and then bitch like little babies about being Gen-Rushed when they refused to try and slow the match down despite being given ample opportunity.

The devs made Generators take 10 more seconds to complete. So now it's 90 seconds per Generator. Almost a minute more of work, and because of map size, Gen spread, RNG, and solo queue, it'll take a lot longer than that to get them done. This isn't even factoring in how there is a Killer trying to stop you.

They now added an additional regression mechanic to Gens that make it so if a Killer is the cause of regression greater than 2.5%, Survivors have to repair 5% of the Gen before the regression actually stops and they can progress the Gen. No more tapping to stop regression.

Flashlights were nerfed for the name of 'epilepsy' but the devs have done NOTHING about how other blinding items cause the same problems, and how many places on the maps have repetitive flashing lights that also bother people with light-sensitivity and epilepsy. And it's been ages since this change, and they still haven't made an effort to show the epileptic community that they actually gaf. Killers just whined about flashlights clicking too much and so they got nerfed. I don't even use flashlights cuz I could never got a hang of the timing or the controller being hard to use for them!

Don't forget Iron Will! It's not fair that Survivors were 100% quiet when they were Injured. We need to nerf that and rework it over and over to the point where it's basically useless now. As in, the sound of the pained cries does not actually change, at least on the Survivor's end.

The Clown's fucking gas is still impossible to deal with, when people have already made Mods that handle it better. Went on a whole self-righteous rant about helping disabled players and then did not in fact, do anything useful.

When a Survivor is downed within your radius when you're on the Hook, the camping timer stops moving. Killers are actually downing people nearby and dropping them in front of the Hook so they can still camp without issue. Cuz if another Survivor is too close, then it doesn't matter how close the Killer is, the timer will not move. They will camp you to death even with the chance of the other survivor wiggling free if they try to Hook them afterward. Hell, they even bait out other Survivors to get kills that way.

If you manage to get the anti-camp timer filled while on your 2nd Hook Stage, there is a high chance that taking a moment to swap from Struggling to unHooking, will actually just let the Entity kill you from missing the Struggle Skillcheck before you can get the unHook bar to fill all the way. Because for some reason it NEEDS to take 4 seconds?

They lowered the length of time that Killers are stunned by DS so that they can hopefully catch up with Survivors faster.

They lowered the speed in which Toolbox charges can be used on Gens.

Knight, Skull Merchant, Victor, Wraith, Ghost Face, Michael, Pig, and anyone using Insidious, and anyone who has the no terror radius thing built into their kit or add-ons, can also camp right up in your face and the timer never goes down at all.

Knight, Skull Merchant, and Twins all have something they can deploy that allows them to not only face camp you without affecting the timer, but they can still get Devour Hope stacks by doing it. Something left by the Hook that can Injure Survivors who come to help, still not being part of the anti-camp BS they claimed to care about, is really telling.

There are so many more things they have done to make Killer easier than ever before, while at the same time removing/nerfing everything interesting Survivors can do to make the gameplay exciting. It's getting so tired.

I mentioned my stats across 25 matches recently. 3 of those being with Me as the Killer without the meta Perks. Killers used 47of the 115 Perks available, Survivors used 90 of the 134 Perks available. And the top 4 Perks Killers used were the current meta.

This exact same build was used on 7 different Killers. Wesker, Huntress, Chucky, Sadako, Twins, Michael, and Trapper. All of them got 3Ks before all Gens were done, and the lone Escapee, me, only Escaped cuz the Hatch spawned near me each time.

Top Survivor Perks were Windows, Deja Vu, and Bond btw.

All remaining Killers outside me(who used a build on Michael to specifically sneak up on Survivors before they notice) had at least 2 of the current top 4 choice Perks for Killers along with other Gen-regression Perks.

This is how it is. Instead of fixing Killers with kits and add-ons that need work, they just take something from Survivors over and over to make things 'fair'. But they aren't fair, and they just suck the life out of the game.

EDIT: It's been a few days since I started writing this. We can add on 4 more Killers using the meta build rn. 1 Freddy, 1 Knight, 1 Skull Merchant, and 1 Xenomorph. It's a build that works on basically every type of Killer DbD has to offer, so of course people refuse to do anything different.

People are actually relieved to face a scratched mirror Meyers and a body block Hag for once.
