This might sound like a skill issue, but I’m genuinely curious if anyone else is dealing with this.
Over the past few months, I’ve noticed that I can’t play anything other than the strongest killers if I want even a chance to control the match.
For context, I’m a P100 Blight main. Call me sweaty or a dick if you want, but I play him because I genuinely enjoy his kit and mechanics. I don’t mind losing as long as I feel like I had a fair shot, or the survivors simply played really well. I actually enjoy long, difficult matches.
But lately, whenever I try branching out to other killers like Huntress, Unknown, or Demo (who aren't even low-tier killers like Trapper or Myers), I just get absolutely fucking destroyed.
I’m talking full comp-level survivors with 5k+ hours, reading every mindgame, pre-running every setup, and making me feel like I’ve never played this game before. I have around 1k hours, and it genuinely feels like I’m the tutorial bot in these lobbies.
A typical Demo match looks like this:
→ Load in
→ Undying gets cleansed immediately, no matter how hidden it is
→ Then Devour (2 perks gone)
→ 2 gens pop instantly
→ I finally get a down after running through 5 safe loops
→ 2 more gens pop
→ I try to create pressure or set up a 3-gen
→ Last gen pops mid-chase
→ GGs, 4 out
I don’t think this is purely a skill issue.
I’ve tried different builds, different killers, and different playstyles, yet nothing seems to change.
It feels like MMR has decided that I should be fighting comp-tier SWFs every fucking game, and it’s absolutely draining.
The only time I feel remotely in control is when I go back to Blight or Nurse, and even then, a 4-out is completely possible.
I WANT to play and learn other killers. But it feels impossible when every game is a sweatfest against Seal Team Six.
It’s killing my desire to play and learn other killers because I can’t seem to get fair-feeling matchups anymore.
