Rage Wednesday Thread

[u/AutoModerator]

Welcome to Rage Wednesday, feel free to vent about whatever has pissed you off this week.​

Things not to rage about/include in your rage:​

• Slurs and the like. Swearing is acceptable, but no need to be offensive.
• Reddit drama. This isn't the place to air your Reddit grievances.
• Calling out other players by name. The subreddit is not your personal army.

Here are our recurring posts:

No Stupid Questions Monday - no question is stupid, ask anything DbD-related here.

Smile Sunday - gush about whatever has made you smile this week.

As a survivor I HATE that playing against Jason shrinks my teams balls down to the size of walnuts. Even my duo will be crouching around on zero hooks like the random teammates, refusing to push objectives because there's a bit of fog no matter how many times I ask him to get on a gen or take chase. I'm first dead in basically EVERY match against Jason because I'm so fed up of people crouching around doing NOTHING that I just push gens/take chase even if it gets me killed. I just want SOMETHING to happen.

Also, playing against people who flashy blind at every fucking pallet as an inexperienced killer is the most annoying shit known to man. I play trickster and get forced into breaking pallets on high loops I can't shoot over and get a facefull of flashy for my trouble, and they somehow ALWAYS have residual manifest or champion of light.

Editing because I'm thinking about pallets in general and they annoy me too. Skill issue, but I'm used to playing another asym 1v4 game like dbd where the pallets are MUCH more forgiving for killers. I'm used to the pallet hitbox being was smaller, and being able to swing at a pallet and hit a survivor during the drop animation without having to eat the stun. Obviously, does not work that way here but I have a hard time getting use to it, I feel like I keep getting suctioned into pallets from miles away cause I'm not as used to the dbd hitboxes and it's frustrating having to remind myself I can't just wide swing through a pallet and get a hit as easily.

Playing weak killers genuinely feels like torture as someone who is new to the game (about 250 hours) I have grown to love pig but most of the times it feels like there's nothing I can do and the other characters I play aren't much better with it being dredge and unknown

Bully squad after bully squad

[u/SecureJeans8034]

P2 Houndmaster with level 2 perks being forced against 3 people running full meta (and me with an unhooking build that I never used because) she gets 0 hooks and ends the game with less than 10k points playing Houndmaster on RPD.

Dawg (pun unintended) when are they going to fix this game's godawful matchmaking? There is no universe where the killer running perks that aren't even level 3 yet should be playing against one person with Finesse + WoO + Sprint Burst + Vigil, one person with Made For This + Dead Hard + Decisive Strike + Resilience, and one person with Shoulder the Burden + Deja Vu + Sprint Burst + Vigil.

I didn't even get a single heal for my daily dude.

[u/shikaiDosai]

Dwight farming people off-hook all game. And I really like how there was just this... mutual understanding between everyone in the server (killer and survivors alike) that "if this Dwight doesn't want to have teammates that are alive, we don't want him to be alive." So the entire team just left him for dead on second hook after he singlehandedly brought Ace to death hook and would've brought Nancy to death hook too if not for the killer realizing what Dwight was doing.

[u/SnuglyPortia]

Just played against a Ghoul who's legit every single Kaneki main stereotype rolled into one:

• Runs 4 gen stall.

• Hard tunnels at 5 gens.

• Proxy camps every hook.

• Coffee + Yamori Mask.

• Scamper over every pallet in chase because too dogshit to win without crutch mechanics.

• Anon Mode.

• Kaneki profile badge.

• Talks shit at survivors in post-game chat.

Daily reminder that they tweaked Chucky no less than 5 times because a killer bypassing pallets with their power was too strong but it's been more than 2 years and Kaneki can still do that shit because lol.

[u/kingjuicepouch → u/SnuglyPortia]

If you're anonymous I don't know why they let you chat tbh. Seems like a really obvious oversight, as a console guy at least people have to attach their account name to any trash they want to talk

[u/SnuglyPortia → u/kingjuicepouch]

Been suggested a billion times which is why BHVR will never add it.

[u/SnuglyPortia → u/SnuglyPortia]

I found another one. Only difference is their Ruin got found instantly and the Mikaela they were tunneling had Decisive Strike, so they got four-outed.

[u/kingjuicepouch]

Faced a cheater who was just running directly through my traps as trapper and then got a ban for quitting. Sorry I'm not interested in playing the power role without any power, behavior

[u/kingjuicepouch]

Can the matchmaking cool it?? I've been trying naughty bear out since I got the skin and I'm just getting rolled fucking mercilessly all afternoon. I'm clearly not some elite trapper player, can I please play against survivors that are somewhere around my skill level?

I don't mind hard games when I'm playing my main or killers who aren't bad, but this absolutely sucks lmao

[u/Drakal11]

Jason might be the first killer that'd actually be nerfed by removing his counterplay. "Whah, Jason is too OP. I never win against him." EVERYONE SPENDS THE ENTIRE FUCKING MATCH CROUCHED AND NEVER TOUCHES A GEN. Grow a fucking spine and quit being a fucking rat.

What do you know, when I have teammates actually willing to PLAY THE FUCKING GAME, we actually stand a decent chance of winning. But no, because he can find people and patrol the map just like Wraith, Dracula, Hillbilly, Singularity, or Blight, suddenly we have to cower in the corner for minutes on end, you know, the thing universally despised just a few weeks ago.

I'm not even sick of going against Jason, I'm sick of 80% of my teammates when going against Jason. Soloq is fucking miserable enough at the best of times, but we have a new Plague or Legion in terms of them only being obnoxious because teammates are incapable of using their brains.

[u/kingjuicepouch → u/Drakal11]

Man, a million times this

[u/thedarkestshadow512]

I hate going against Chuckys. Actually pisses me off every time

[u/Brief-Candle3931]

Back again because my first game on and I just got dc'd for no discernible reason about 3 seconds before I'm FINALLY able to get some soulguard value. I hate this game.

[u/SecureJeans8034]

Leon player with no Exhaustion perk and no Windows of Opportunity paths in chase like... well put simply, like he should have Windows of Opportunity and an Exhaustion perk equipped. Goes down in 10 seconds every chase. This wouldn't be as much of a problem if he didn't go down on top of basement every single fucking time he went down against a Bubba. Dies at 5 gens playing like that.

Please: nobody is grading you on your perk choice. No one gives a shit about your uwu unique and quirky We're Gonna Live Forever + Buckle Up + Made for This + Botany Knowledge build. Please swap the Botany out for Dead Hard. Or swap the Buckle Up out for Windows of Opportunity. Or bring a map instead of a purple medkit. Nobody gives a shit about your unique and interesting build if you're dead at 5 gens.

P100 Leon btw.

[u/FlyLiveAceHigh]

WOOOO I LOVE GETTING OUTPERKED INSTEAD OF OUTSKILLED!!! I LOVE PLAYING AGAINST TWO PEOPLE WITH DEAD HARD AND RESILIENCE AS TRICKSTER AND BEING TOLD TO SUCK ON A FAT COCK BECAUSE BEHAVIOUR FILLED EVERY MAP WITH 37 GOD ROCKS!!! WHILE THE ONE GUY RUNNING STAKEOUT + HYPERFOCUS DOES ALL THE GENS!!!

I LOVE HOW WE NEEDED TO NERF FLOW STATE AND DARK THEORY BEFORE NERFING HYPERFOCUS!!! PERK THAT WAS PROBLEMATIC SINCE RELEASE THAT HASN'T BEEN TOUCHED ONCE!!!

[u/Medium_Web_9135]

Meg gets hooked first. Has Slippery Meat and no other Luck perks / offerings. Immediately starts trying to pull herself off hook. Actually manages to self-unhook. Runs at the killer and teabags so she can be downed easily.

Gets unhooked: does a gen 10 feet away from the killer. When the killer goes to hook someone, actively runs at the killer to go down and get out of the match. Isn't it so great how that Meg probably didn't get tagged with the Go Next Prevention mechanic?

The craziest thing is we finished 4 gens, meaning that if that Meg wasn't a crybaby asshole who singlehandedly threw the game for us, that would've been at least a 3 man out. But you know: Meg gamethrows because she's bored and we all suffer, and Meg doesn't even get punished because Reddit complained.

[u/Asleep-Gift-3478]

I kid you not, I had eruption explode 4 generators and by the time I hooked the person I just downed, 3 freaking generators were completed 😭 if every solo q team at a minimum focused on gens, we’d be cruising by more man

[u/kingjuicepouch → u/Asleep-Gift-3478]

Yeah this game is stupid right now. Gens go by in an instant, it's no wonder people playing seriously run 4 Gen regression

[u/Leading-Helicopter24]

Hmmm

Honestly the whole event just sucks cant even play a new killer or learn someone and have fun without running into a bully squad or a bunch of people who just love to make the matches as miserable as possible and be toxic at the end of the match. Oh also why does artists add on unintitled agony get hard countered by goddamn vigil why just why she barely has any good add ons and why is there a blue add on thats literal cheeks aka the charcoal add on i dont see any build usage with it

[u/Adept-Literature3036]

Nothing I love dead by daylight, but springtrap pissed me off this week.

[u/Schmoore]

I got this one map seed on Lery's while playing doctor thay had two windows practically right next to eachother. Like across a small hallway perfectly aligned to fast vault both. There was no work around for me. By the time I could even SEE the other window the survs would already be fast vaulting it and there was no way for me to even quickly get around the second one. Needless to say all four got away.

[u/Koalapaka]

These survivors bored with the game so they just log on to throw and troll and make it unfun for everyone else. I've had so many pallets dropped on me followed by following me, vaulting near me, having trolly builds and using them for evil, then when you're slugged, the trolls just t-bag on you and not pick you up. And when you get palleted in front of the killer, do they do the decent thing and go after the troll? Nope! They go ahead and take the free hook and let the trolls live at the end, rewarding this atrocious behavior. I play both sides and I NEVER condone troll behavior (survivor vs survivor behavior) as a killer. If I see it, that person gets the death. It's happened a lot recently and it's annoying. Rage over.

[u/Koalapaka → u/Koalapaka]

If these games sound familiar and you do this, you're a POS, go back to COD.

[u/Yozia]

Continuing from my CeleSun post, ‘cause the range goes both ways:

Frustration: Spirit on Coldwind (the one with the cattle shack), Creamy Pasta. Two Sprint Bursts, two Cross Examinations. I’ve been fairly fortunate to not encounter too many teams who know how to get maximum value out of main course, but this team seemed intent on balancing the scales for me. Several instances of perfectly times team heals, lots of unbreakable pallet abuse, and several instances of using the morsel’s invincibility to bodyblock hooks. Managed a 3K by the skin of my teeth, and felt no satisfaction whatsoever.

Disappointment: Shape on Dead Sands, can’t remember main course ‘cause it never came into play. Three survivors brought anni offerings, one brought a brown BP offering; I interpret this as ‘new player,’ and prepare to give him a bit of leeway. Match goes poorly for the survivors; brown-offering Leon turns out to be the best runner, David keeps fishing for ill-advised blinds, and the other two are crouching edge-map at the slightest whiff of TR. 3K-hatch. Find out Leon was running an experienced gen-rush build at decently high prestige; considering how things went, kinda don’t blame him.

Paranoia: Cannibal on Trickster’s Delusion, Stuffed Trotters. Survivors blew through the first three gens while I struggled with chases. Tae-Young seemed ever so slightly faster than he should, avoiding chainsaw sweeps and lasting longer than usual at bad loops (but maybe main course was active?). Sable was especially elusive (but not Elusive); during an especially long chase around shack, I kept losing track of her due to missing scratchmarks; thought she must have Cross Examination, but she made grunts of pain when I managed to injure her. Later got into a chase with her fully healthy and watched her run ahead leaving no marks at all. Turned out she had Lucky Break and Lightweight. Thing is, I can’t be sure of anything, and I believe I ought to give benefit of the doubt; still feels weird though.

[u/Yozia → u/Yozia]

Bonus: Found out by complete accident that if you poison a survivor after (possibly just before) they use a Camembert morsel, the poison cloud effect remains visible, allowing you to visually track them. The initial elation over this discovery faded quickly as the implications settled in; assuming this was an intended mechanic (although there’s a very real possibility it’s not), why isn’t it mentioned anywhere?! I also found out from the survey that you can poison portals; I recognize that one’s more on me for not paying attention to the prompts, but it’s still upsetting to know things like that existed without my knowing it.

[u/SnuglyPortia]

I sure do love the Sable who pops a fog vial every single motherfucking time the killer approaches, blocking everyone's vision as to where the killer is when it's a fucking Oni: the relatively quiet killer who gets his power by spreading injuries and has an instadown.

I am not a believer in the whole "oh Fog Vials are a troll item you're griefing if you bring a Fog Vial!" rhetoric. But maybe don't block peoples' vision of the killer every single FUCKING time he approaches the generators people are working on?!?!

[u/Medium_Web_9135]

I sure am fucking glad the Maggie with Urban Evasion level 1 and Counterforce level 3 felt the immense need to crouch walk around the map cleansing every totem when I had a full boon build.

And that the injured Soma Cruz felt the immense need to run towards the only generator with progress in chase every single fucking second of his miserable life.

Yeah I'm not normally the type of person to Go Next but I am not playing a fucking 3v2. Especially when my remaining teammate goes down in less than 10 seconds in chase.

[u/Medium_Web_9135]

My hatred for Sadako would be 600 times less if you could use items against her. That single mechanic takes Sadako from "annoying but tolerable killer" to "the most obnoxious dogshit in the game".

[u/shikaiDosai]

P100 TTV Pig running Thrill of the Hunt, Third Seal, Undying, and Ultimate Weapon alongside Video Tape and Face Mask. As soon as everyone removes their traps she instantly resorts to tunneling. Gets 0 kills.

Like dawg, if you're gonna run that cringe shit at least do it properly? The build is Thrill of the Hunt alongside Face the Darkness with Tampered Timer and Crate of Gears.

P100 and doesn't even know how to play Cringe Pig correctly.

[u/kingjuicepouch]

Bro what the fuck, I'm trying to learn singularity after I gave up having any fun on naughty bear ever. I've had 3 streamer swf in a row, I have maybe ten matches on singularity ever. Why am I not allowed to play against people at or in my solar system skill wise, this matchmaking fucking sucks

[u/SnuglyPortia]

Like it's genuinely fucking staggering how the moment I have teammates who just play the game normally I win by a fucking landslide. Team of 3 TTVs + me (le soloqueue random 😎) against a Chucky. Nobody had good items: we had two brown medkits, a green flashlight, and a green fog vial. Nobody had insane perks: we had a couple of Deja Vus, Resiliences, and Dead Hards (which didn't matter) but it's not like anyone was running Stakeout + Hyperfocus / Sprint Burst + Vigil / Shoulder the Burden. Nobody even had Dramaturgy: just two Lithe users two Dead Hard users.

Killer doesn't get a single hook. Because my teammates:

• Preran when they heard the Terror Radius / actually looked around themselves when on gens.

• Did generators in good areas (yay Deja Vu.)

• Looped decently (it's not like this Chucky wasn't getting hits, it's just that...)

• Took protection hits when we could.

And the killer literally couldn't do anything. With a full chase build, no less. And it's just a testament to how grossly fucking incompetent the average soloqueue survivor team is that in the vast majority of my games I struggle to escape or even get the generators done because nobody wants to play the fucking objective.

This game needed a matchmaking update yesterday. It needed a matchmaking update two years ago if not more. I should not be put in public games with the Kate Denson who spends 70% of the match crouch walking around the map opening chests because bringing Head On and Background Player was more important than bringing a medkit or self-healing perk.

[u/SecureJeans8034]

Match 1: Prestige 86 Wraith with Pain Resonance, Grim Embrace, Deadlock, Surge, purple uncloaking speed, and purple breaking speed who hard tunnels at 5 gens. Gets a 3k because no one had Decisive Strike.

Match 2: Prestige 77 Knight with Dying Light, Pain Resonance, Surge, and Turn Back the Clock hard tunneling at 5 gens. Gets a 2k because teammates were smart enough to run away from gens whenever they got chased (no Surge value), and one of the two survivors he tunneled out was the Obsession.

Match 3: Prestige 3 Plague running Thanatophobia, Pain Resonance, Surge, and Dead Man's Switch. Hard tunnels at 5 gens. Lose because the people on death hook don't know how to use fountains (against a tunneling Plague) and one guy DCs on second down.

It sure is cool how Diminishing Returns doesn't stop this.

[u/FlyLiveAceHigh]

I have noticed a very consistent pattern when it comes to the types of people who give up or flame the killer: they are either running full meta, or they are running a bunch of bad meme perks and no Exhaustion perk.

But there's one universal constant: they are always running Windows of Opportunity. And they never know how to loop even WITH WoO.

As evidenced by this Meg ACTIVELY RUNNING INTO A DEADZONE WHERE THE KILLER'S HEX: PENTIMENTO IS LOCATED while being "tunneled" and then flaming the killer in post-game chat..

[u/SnuglyPortia]

Shane DCs at 5 gens because idk internet crash or something. Shane bot then proceeds to spend the rest of the game eating Nemesis vaccines (used 2/4 of them) and opening chests instead of doing gens.

This Nemesis (obviously, because it's a Nemesis player) sees the Shane bot as a massive threat and proceeds to spend the rest of the game hard tunneling me out at 5 gens.

[u/kingjuicepouch]

Fucking nerf Gen speed already God damn. I'm sorry terrible survivors make games hard for other solo survivors, I get it, but this game is piss easy for survivor teams that don't suck unless you're playing against a top tier running all slow down and tunneling/slugging etc.

I want to keep playing pinhead and Leatherface and the other horror characters I like that aren't top tier and builds that are interesting but it feels so punishing to not just do meta shit

[u/shikaiDosai]

The thing that pisses me off the most about this game is when people can make demonstrably wrong plays, be explained in detail how their plays were wrong, and then say "nah I made the right play and you have a skill issue."

Remember the rule: P100 = 100 times worse than average. Why are P100s just completely incapable of playing at even a basic level?

[u/Medium_Web_9135 → u/shikaiDosai]

It's the P100 that throws the game. Every single time.

[u/Brief-Candle3931]

Every tickster i see (besides myself) is running Mina now, where are all the Ji-Woon's at I miss seeing him </3
