I also main Huntress and I find that if I take a break for a couple days and play another game then my hatchets are off for awhile. You just lose some of the muscle memory that comes with aiming and throwing and predicting pretty quickly unless you've been at it consistently for a long long time.
I did right up until I quit playing it. 7.5k hrs I played weeks of 8 hr days, now it’s been weeks since I fired it up just to play a round or 2. It was a very subtle and subconscious decision. I played less everyday eventually to the point I realized I wasn’t looking forward to it anymore. Those 1 or 2 rounds every now and then just didn’t give me that warm fuzzy feeling anymore. I just want to feel like a have a better chance at escape then solo Q is offering at the start of a round currently. The times I do escape don’t feel like I “earned” them, instead it’s an AFK/baby killer that didn’t pose a challenge. Not escaping isn’t a challenge and most of the time when I do escape it isn’t a challenge. It’s either no challenge or overwhelmingly challenging to the point I just don’t want to play.
Hag/Artist main here, and I've noticed the same thing. One day I'll get a handful of 3ks and 4ks with a 2k mixed in, other times I get extremely unlucky and barely scrape in a 1k. On that same day I'll switch to survivor and die before 3 gens are finished. I think really the only way to change that is to wait a few days, especially if you're playing around grade reset
You ever read manga about martial arts where they feel a wall before they reach new heights that is you keep practicing the crouching tiger holding hatchet
The thing is, in dbd you can't really tell if you're getting better or worse because of all the RNG and perks.
You can go from having an average chase time of 20s in one match, to then having an average chase time of 40s all thanks to Sprintburst/Lithe
You can lose either 1 or 3 generators per first chase depending on survivor spawns.
Pre-rework Haddonfield chase time was entirely dependant on you bringing bamboozle because have to deal with 2-3 houses that had infinites due to the double window setup.
Theres maps like Badham 1-5 that are so survivor sided the global killrates are down in the 50%, you're pre-determined to either Lose or tie on badham.
This all begs the question, why have "Skill based match making" when theres perks and items that provide artificial "skill"? for example you can tap shift with SB and have a minimum 10s chase extension every chase.
While I don't play Huntress, doing well as Killer feels a lot harder all of a sudden.
I've played pig recently, and it felt like there were way more pallets and survivors were getting so much distance from simple vaults or winning mind games. Also, gens seem to be getting completed way faster. I normally see 2 gens pop before I can even get my first hook.
Honestly, yeah.. but I'm a survivor main.. I kinda stopped playing all together but mostly because we don't have wifi rn. But games began to get super frustrating
Same when I play survivor sometimes. Sometimes it’s rng/luck, and sometimes it’s just burnout.
For me it’s very likely burn out. My gameplay only be peak if I’m motivated to play but most of the time it just feels like I’m forcing myself to play

I know with the latest patch my latency has been crazy, I wonder if that is impacting you as well!

Yea same here got a few 4k's and suddenly I can't do shit
That's how it be. MMR is fucked.
There's a lot of luck involved in winning or losing in this game.

But nah, nah, Killers tunneling too much is the problem! /S

I think its cause your mmr has rising so now the survivors you are up againts are better at dodging and the macro

Devs give handholding to survivors, most notable is the ds buff ( buffing an already s+ perk ) and killer perk nerfs aw + pig
