Dead by Daylight is a deceptively simple game with a simple premise and commands, but this simplicity disguises a complex and unforgiving system. Its easy to get discouraged when a killer or survivor not only beats you, but rubs it in after. To add on to that the new 'Leave Prevention' system can flag you for a poor game even if you were trying your best.
Its a hard game to get into, but luckily content creators have created excellent resources to help new players stand their own against the 12k hour masters. I wanted to highlight some of the best educational DBD content available. Mish is a DBD legend who can loop with incredible skill without breaking her chat flow. In the linked video she gives some great tips to start DBD and if that peaks your interest she has an amazing bootcamp with a fellow survivor. In this bootcamp she walks a newer player through the decisions that make up chase and explains the high level concepts that you need to know to execute great micro gameplay.
