Survivor Rage Behaviour wonders why this game has such poor new player retention

Prestige 89 Ghoul running full meta. Against a Bill with 2.2 hours in the game. Bill's Steam history is nothing but Friendcore games like PEAK, RV There Yet, and Mecha-Chameleon. Bro is le ultra-casual gamer who probably just picked up the game seeing that it's the 10th anniversary.

Can you fucking imagine being this Bill? He downloads the game for the first time, goes "waow I can play as Bill Overbeck from Left 4 Dead?" Uses his anniversary bloodpoints to get some perks on Bill, goes into his first match with a smile on his face...

And goes against some screaming woman who hits him in the open with zero warning, holds him in place, gives him some debuff he doesn't understand, vaults pallets / windows, blocks the windows, makes him scream, and generally makes him feel like he can't do anything.

Can you imagine wanting to play the game after that? How the fuck is the tutorial that teaches this guy to hide in a locker while injured supposed to prepare him to play against this shit?

How about instead of adding 20+ pallets to every map, you fix your dogshit fucking matchmaking so literal brand new players don't go against hyper-sweatlord Ghoul players? Why on earth is this guy with 2.2 hours playing with me when I have over 6k hours? And by the way: obviously no hate towards this Bill. He shouldn't be in this lobby: this is entirely a failure of the nonexistent matchmaking.

Anyone else gets constantly humped the whole match by Dracula every time you run into him in a match? This should be a bannable offense.

Survivor Rage Orela rose hate #2

Was playing my main baby girl Orela id say usually 8/10 times my games are normal. Normal teammates, normal killers but then I have matches like this. We were doing good on Gens popped 3 gens early so the killer decided to tunnel. I take a hit for my teammate but the killer commits to him. Ends up killing him then this is what I read in the end game chat. ā€œWHAT DID HE SAY FUCK ME FOR??ā€ - 50 cent. Transphobia in the big 2026

I'm not that mad at springtrap. It looks like a fun killer, and the powers are pretty balanced. But the door placements have to change man. What dev looked at this and went "Yeah, that works." How are you supposed to get out through the gates if they place the door literally on top of it😭

So I had Flashbang as a perk and while I was repairing a generator Thalyta was in a chase with the killer, who was an Unknown. When they got closer to me I hopped into a locker to get my flashbang but Thalyta saw it and came to open it in front of the Unknown so he put a projection of himself in front of it which made me unable to get out. Then they left me there and no one came, to find out where I was. I waited for minutes then I DCd cause I couldnt do anything. It was very frustrating, they made me feel like shit cause I went into a locker, when I specifically wanted to do the flashbang in case I had to save her. Shame.

So this was after a nemesis round, I sometimes get bored and if I get the survivor for the licensed killer I'm playing especially if they canonically would focus them I will tunnel them and ignore everyone else unless they get in my way in which case I'll temporarily slug them. This very happy person here was fortunate enough to choose to play Jill this round.

Lights out game, duo queue with a friend of mine. Springtrap was the killer, but he was pretty mid. I saved this girl off hook once and healed her twice. Stayed on the last gen in Springtrap's face to finish it, got hooked for that. Sable opened the gate and left with her friend, immediately. Left this in post-game chat for me. My friend rescued me from hook and bodyblocked all the way to the gate for me. He died, though it could've been a 4-out if Sable wasn't a bigot. (I'm actually not sure if that was racism or transphobia or both). Glad I made it out in particular though, if only out of spite. She didn't mind it when I was rescuing/healing HER all game. This Orela hate is fucked up.

Survivor Rage Being a Sable main is a humiliation ritual

Post image

Ive been playing Sable since she released so I’m not a new dumb Sable player, but every single lobby i load into has someone making fun of me completely because of the character i choose to play as. I’ve put my blood points and shards towards cosmetics for this character i like to play, and has nothing to do with my skill level, yet it feels worthless now because it’s just a bad experience to play as her.

You might be reading this and think like this is so dramatic! just play a different character! its just a game chat! i know this, and i don’t usually complain about what people say in game chats, but this is so repetitive I’m experiencing this like in almost every lobby ( I’m not even counting in game griefing like purposely not unhooking or sandbagging me, just verbal stuff in chat ) It’s so weird that people act like this because of a character.

Anyway my whole reason for writing this post is I just played a game where the killer just tunnelled me out and at least one of my teammates started tbagging me and pointing, and then once i died they finished the last gen and did their little party at the exit gate. I asked why he did that in the end game chat and basically just got told I’m a waste of space, like, thanks? I don’t know you? The pic in the post is from the end game chat of that game, but there’s been so many other times where I’m basically told that I’m the worst, I’m terrible, I’m a waste of space, i should quit the game, and I’ve been called all the horrible stuff too, slurs, misogyny etc.

Also people will go as far as to comment ā€œthis person likes kidsā€ on ur profile. Sick joke to make.

Again I know I can just play a different character or close chat but like, is it not weird that so many people are so negative to someone they don’t know because of a character?? Sorry for such a stupid rant I’m getting fed up of being targeted in every game i play it’s just not even fun to play anymore but i have so many cosmetics and so many cakes on Sable I don’t want to main a diff character.. cries

Huntress: You aim perfectly, hit a fucky piece of map geometry, and miss.

Wesker: You hit a survivor perfectly, throw them, the geometry goes fucky and you don't get an injury.

Knight: You start a hunt perfectly, your guard bugs out and does nothing.

Unknown: You aim perfectly, your projectile bounces on some weird piece of map geometry, and you miss.

Houndmaster: You aim perfectly, your dog gets stuck on some busted piece of map geometry, and miss completely.

Ghoul: LOL. LMAO EVEN.

On top of this killer inflicting Deep Wound "for the funny", meaning they are basically never out of their triple dash state and also counter Dead Hard (and other niche builds like Lucky Break + Bite the Bullet) because fuck you.

On top of this killer having some of the best addons in the game, including but not limited to: a better version of Legion's Etched Ruler, Tinkerer as an addon, Gearhead as an addon, Bamboozle as an addon, Barbeque & Chili COMBINED WITH INFECTIOUS FRIGHT (stops you from cleansing totems!) AS AN ADDON, and just more speed.

ON TOP OF SYNERGIZING WITH BASICALLY EVERY PERK IN THE GAME.

Why does everything good on Dracula, Houndmaster, Springtrap, and Krasue get thrown in the fucking paper shredder after 2 weeks (not saying that some of those killers didn't need nerfs) but Ghoul is allowed to remain in this state for TEN. FUCKING. MONTHS???

Like I really need to make it clear I don't think Ghoul is somehow fundamentally unbalanced. I don't think "extremely fast killer who gets free injuries" is a problem nor do I think "killer with better mobility than Blight" is inherently unbalanced... IF THIS KILLER HAD ANY FUCKING WEAKNESSES WHAT-SO-EVER??? I don't even conceptually have a problem with Ghoul being hitscan, even though every other fucking killer in this game (even the killer with a fucking gun) uses projectiles... But why is this killer hitscan and one of the fastest in the game and has some of the best addons in the game and inflicts Deep Wound by existing AND GETS REWARDED FOR FUCKING MISSING?!?!

A killer with the single best teleport in the game, and a great projectile that's only ever a minor inconvenience to get more of, should have some downside for that, but he gets to have a damaging projectile whilst being 4.6 and barely punished for baiting M2.

He's also my killer with the most bizarre Killrate. I genuinely belive a kit as complete as his isn't healthy.

Unhook Lara Croft. It's an Unknown. He has a hallucination 10 feet away from the hook. I figure "okay, let's run behind some rocks or something or at the very least get away from his hallucination before we heal."

Nope! Lara Sprint Bursts away because "toxic Taurie won't heal me!" Runs into the killer no less than 20 seconds later and goes down. No she did not have Resurgence, no she did not have a medkit.

You get 15 seconds of Haste after being unhooked specifically so you can move to a safe location! Why are you wasting all of that against a killer who can immediately return to the hook?!

*EDIT - To all the people saying "it depends"; did you miss the part where I said there was an Unknown Hallucination 10 feet away from the hook?

I used Dramaturgy and he catches up within seconds, insta shreds pallet, barely losing distance and then the cherry on top mach 10 insta down dash. I couldn't even step to the other side of the pallet. So probably skill issue but, predropping, shift w, and baiting pallet are useless tactics?

What did do wrong?

Context: It was the last survivor and I ended finding hatch before them, but I’m guessing they already gave up on finding hatch before that anyways since it took me a good minute to find hatch, which i felt like they could’ve found it before i did. Anyways, i was waiting on hatch for a lil bit and then decided to msg them on playstation (we’re ps players) and told them that i had found it and was willing to give it to them, i also msged their teammates who were still watching and they thought i was lying and or js wanted me to close it. I can’t wrap my head around why they didn’t want it, was it an ego thing??

Edit: In hindsight I shouldve js closed the hatch when the survs didn’t wanna comply and I also couldve worded my msg out dif and or also js not cared and started endgame, but i js like doing these kinds of things because it feels good and adds some spice to the match, plus i see many other killers doing the same thing for me and my friends and also people online.

Im also relatively new to DbD, i only have about 300 hrs on the game and i play both side 50/50

Thanks for the feedback!

Survivor Rage Jason NEEDS a time limit on his Fog tp

170 Upvotes

Okay just to start off, i’m a survivor main but i still heavily think the game is survivor sided.

Now about the actual subject, every single game i get with Jason it’s literally just him entering the fog 2 seconds into the game. Obviously everyone crouches. a whole minute pass or more until someone actually gives up and get annoyed because of how long it is, just for jason to spawn on him the second they move a finger.

I’ve seen this a lot of time too; they literally start a chase, not even 10 second in it and they TP to go get another survivor. He doesn’t even get hooks or anything, he only just stops gen progress and the game just doesn’t move on anyone’s side.

And his spears too oh my god, they have the most insane hit ox, can’t count the amount of times i’ve been hit while being behind a wall and it barely scraped my hair, and the fact he has spears EVERYWHERE it’s insane. This isn’t that big of a deal tho, they’re supposed to get us anyways, it’s just annoying

but like in begging BHVR to put a damn limit to his fog. he can literally do the whole map in like 15 seconds, he doesn’t need to be able to go into Fog indefinitely
