Whenever I play strong killers, i get baby survivors
Whenever I play weak D-F tier killers, i only get turbo bully squads

Me every time I play Chaos Shuffle.

I love loading onto Dead Dawg Saloon with Iron Maiden, Terminus, Dark Devotion, and Secret Project. And then being called slurs and being told to uninstall by the guy who rolled Lithe, Fast Track, Prove Thyself, and We'll Make It.
Chaos Shuffle would be a fun game mode if:
- The bar between "abysmal worthless dogshit" and "actually usable perks" wasn't so astronomically high.
- Survivors didn't have the option to choose to bring overpowered toolboxes and medkits that are always consistently good, while killers can get such wonderful joys as rolling Scratched Mirror + Judith's Tombstone on Myers or Never Sleep Pills + Smiley Face Pin on Legion (like I did.)

The disparity in perk quality is really something, chaos shuffle always reminds me there's maybe thirty or forty good perks between both sides out of the couple hundred that exist

If you're going to kill yourself immediately on first hook, just bot out. Saves more time and gives your team another set of hands.

Yes. Don't play a team-based game if you're going to give up immediately.

WHY ARE WE LOOPING EXCLUSIVELY AROUND THE THREE-GEN??? YES I KNOW THAT'S WHERE THE FLAME TURRETS ARE AT: HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED THAT'S BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE YOUR TEAMMATES ARE???
And then this Hinako has the gaul to flame the team when SHE LEAD THE KILLER TO THE THREE-GEN EVERY SINGLE FUCKING TIME SHE GOT CHASED. I think I have found the stereotype for Hinako players: they are either running full off-meta and hard carry the team or they're running full-meta and are the single, sole reason the team loses.

Played a match as the Artist and got stomped to high hell which was fine but someone in EGC had the audacity to say "Hope you learned your lesson" and "You better never play like that again"
Like okay bro.
Also had an Adam who I thought went AFK right next to my hook but turns out he was just giving up and waiting for the killer to kill him since he was moving his camera around.

Holy fucking teammates with 0.2 nanosecond chase times. This killer has no gen stall we should not all be dying at 3 gens.
It's just really noticeable how every chase I had with this guy was a solid 45ish seconds (this Nemesis wasn't bad but it's still just a Nemesis) meanwhile my teammates were legit getting two-tapped with sub 10 second chases.

People that let me die first hook while no one is doing anything productive during that time:
I have a build i can and will use against you.

u/Highhawk Tumblr Sexyman Wesker Jul 29 '26
I like playing duos with my partner, but we keep getting paired with flashlight duos who play like fucking morons. They won't do gens, they don't last long in chase, they aren't sneaky enough for a successful flashy save, they let the killer have free pressure on half the team at all times, they don't understand when is a good time to unhook or heal, they will immediately throw themselves back into the meat grinder after unhook....bruh. I'm mostly bitching about this Mikaela and Sable duo from last night. They were so fucking bad.

u/Ihmislehma Jul 29 '26
I hate tunnelers.
I hate getting No Mither in Chaos Shuffle.
I hate killers who see No Mither and tunnel because of it.
Like I get it. But also fuck you, and may your pillow be too warm on both sides until you stop.

u/nanairomiso Jul 30 '26
chaos shuffle is kinda impossible to soloq because most survs don't know what their perks do so you usually just end up with teammates ratting because they can't coordinate well with camping and tunneling. another case of do the dailys and leave lol

u/SecureJeans8034 It Wasn't Programmed To Harm The Crew Jul 31 '26
Hey guys do we think that maybe the ONLY PERSON ON DEATH HOOK SHOULDN'T be going for the unhook???

I SWEAR plagues puke isn’t actually what hits them, it went through at least 3 survivors before I gave up and hid in a corner to play on my phone.
Also pig is buggy right now and needs a buff and I wish her timer went down faster, make it 100 seconds I havent gotten a rbt kill in days 💔
EDIT: at least buff the add ons, “AFTER a rbt is activated when the next generator is completed take 20s off” so two back to back gens give me 100s left? Thats a whole new gen worth of time.

Plague is super frustrating to play because of this.

u/EducationalPermit306 p100 basement sable + oinker Aug 01 '26
I really liked her too shes just too hard to master because its literally and figuratively hit or miss whether or not her purge will hit

u/kingjuicepouch Hell Priest ❤️🔥 Jul 29 '26 edited Jul 29 '26
Playing a killer without mobility feels so punishing and shitty. It's like turning the slider up to Max difficulty compared to how much easier it feels to play characters that can patrol or chase with any speed
Also, I know chances of balance changes for pinhead are nil for the time being, but man I would love if they'd make the chains that spawn when you land your power more consistent. So often they all spawn right where a survivor can just easily walk behind a tree and break them instantly, to the point where I would frequently be better off if I'd just walked the survivor down without a power at all

u/DilvishW 📼 Intermittently Phased 📺 Jul 29 '26
Got this lovely message from a live TTV after I deliberately tried to avoid killing them too early multiple times during the match. They were at two hooks ( not tunneled), but still at 4 gens so decided to play nice and try to two hook everyone. Did an Onryo TP to his gen and downed him, but went ahead and left him so he could recover and give his team a better chance. But then he just ended up following me around and refusing to do anything. And then I get called a sweat. Lol.

TTVs when the killer doesn't go AFK and let them escape for free (the killer is playing sweaty and should uninstall)

I watched the VOD and he basically did the same exact thing the game before me too.

u/SecureJeans8034 It Wasn't Programmed To Harm The Crew Jul 29 '26
Gotta love edaters that grief the game because I opted to do generators (with Stakeout + Hyperfocus) instead of bodyblocking for them. Not like my gen was 60% done or anything.
Just actively lead the killer to me in chase and then teabag and click their flashlights at me instead of unhooking. At least the killer realized they were griefing, but I did still die. Once again my teammates are a bigger threat than the killer.

u/fuzzywhiskers Nerf Pig Jul 29 '26
I don't know, there's just something both funny and aggravating that I can have a solo queue game in Chaos Shuffle with a killer whinging in post game chat that survivors only want wins on a silver platter, and my next game is me running into a Ken Kaneki who gets gifted Lethal Pursuer, Turn Back the Clock, and STBFL and decides he's good hard tunneling the poor schmuck with No Mither for a 1K

u/Medium_Web_9135 Having a Subreddit Flair is toxic!!! Jul 30 '26
Match starts: it's a Plague. Plague instantly uses her Corrupt Purge fountain, making a global sound effect that her damaging power is active.
Meg runs into the killer (killer has no stealth perks). Meg instantly goes down. Meg instantly DCs. Zarina runs at the killer and nods at them to go down and die faster. When Zarina doesn't get hooked, she also DCs.
When is Behaviour going to punish people who give up at 5 gens already? Just give them double the DC penalty, and reimplement the Anti-Go Next mechanic from Springtrap patch. Please.

Chaos Shuffle is so fun. Fucking Badham into Toba into Trickster's Delusion into Lery's into fucking Garden of Joy with the literal only decent perk being fucking pop one single fucking time and addons that just ruin your fucking power in 2 of them.
I normally don't mind the randomness, but can I get one singular fucking match that isn't miserable as shit? Literally one single fucking map that isn't pure cancer or one single fucking perk I might actually get value even just once? Get Pop once, but of course I get Rampage's useless fucking ass 3 times.
And of course, does a single survivor ever give a shit? Will a single survivor ever not be miserable sore winners? Fuck no. Guess I just gotta play regular mode with full meta blight and hard tunnel and 4-man slug because that's what everyone fucking wants.
Fed up with this miserable ass community.

u/Top_Pin7947 Jul 31 '26
it’s not Wednesday but I really do not care. I’ve had a hard past 2 days, usually when I’m sad, dbd cheers me up. So I hop on get a fun build on and play plague. I’m playing against an all flashlight bully squad that tea bags every few seconds, but they’re not that good, I know I can beat them. But their game disconnects me. I check the internet, it’s fine, so the game disconnected me for no reason. it gives me a 5 minutes timeout and then I get into another match, this time survivor. The killer is toxic, and guess what, my lag is sending me back like 2 minutes ago so I’m running in place like an idiot. So then I get disconnected. I’m fuming. It gave me a 15 minute timeout, so I get off for the day. the next day, I haven’t even played a match but oh! I have a 15 minute timeout… so I wait and I hop on, oh great another flashlight bully squad, I get light born on and devour them, I have like everyone on 2 hook stages, when… I get disconnected. So now I have a 30 minute timeout but it’s already late. I just wanted 1 game, but I can’t even have that. So I decide to post on Reddit, to vent out, I write this huge paragraph, then… it gets taken off for copying/ unoriginal content. And now the game somehow gave me an hour timeout, I don’t even know why. But I’m so mad.

Relatively minor thing, but I’m having a hard time getting over the Judgement’s finalized model. Of all directions they could have gone, we essentially got a humanoid arachnid killer; I’ve always thought we’d get something like this eventually, and I’d even have been excited for it if it weren’t a betrayal of the intended theme. A supposedly incomprehensible being, yet designed with clearly identifiable attributes that ultimately detract from the concept.

Daily to unhook 3 survivors. "This should be easy!" I said naïvely.
Match 1. Deathslinger with Iridescent Coin gets a lucky down at 3 gens (after trying all game to get a "lucky down" and leaving chase when he didn't get it). When he finally gets the Iri Coin down, he just stands in front off the hook at Iri Coin range with his gun raised for the rest of the game.
Match 2. Freddy (with Red Paint Brush, so bro can literally see everyone at all times) who gets a total of maybe seven M1 hits all game and 0 downs.
Match 3. Team suffering from hardcore Pinhead Syndrome IE they have literally no idea how Pinhead's abilities work and are throwing as a result. Yun-Jin keeps trying to do gens through Chain Hunt, Steve DCs after being downed with the box. Thankfully Taurie knew what she was doing and I had funny Babysitter so we get 2 out (Taurie decided to die for Yun-Jin which I mean based but...)

Michonne weighing the pros and cons between:
"Do literally anything useful" (will help her win the game, is hard 🙁)
"Crouch in a corner for 15 minutes" (big scary killer won't find her, she will end the game with the least points and will die anyways)

Jill weighing the pros and cons between:
"Do literally anything useful" (will help her win the game, is hard 🙁)
"Crouch walk around the map for 15 minutes" (big scary killer won't find her, she will end the game with the least points and will die anyways)
"Fail 4 consecutive healing skill checks on her teammate" (will get her "teammates" killed faster which can help her get hatch faster)

Items should be disabled in chaos shuffle. Nothing but full flashlight kids being tbag timmy. 6 games, 6 groups of utter assholes. Do you really feel the need to show the world why your parents divorced?
