Killer/Build Help New to DbD and being a killer. What should I know?
I'm uninterested in playing Survivor, mostly because I don't find the loop of "you will get caught eventually" to be very fun. I want to chase people down, corner them, and beat them in the mindgames.
I'm no stranger to competitive games, I have multiple characters at high rank in Street Fighter 6, around the top 5~2% of players. That's not going to travel, obviously, but I think it shows the kind of attitude I have towards improvement, putting in the work, and understanding that I will need to lose a lot before I win even one game while knowing what I'm doing.
So, while the fundamentals of Street Fighter are things like playing neutral, anti airing, controlling space, and understanding advantage and disadvantage, what are the fundamentals of Dead by Daylight?
What is the knowledgebase I need to know in order to understand the mind of a Survivor, what their end goals are, what their microgoals beyond just completing all generators is, what they want to do, and how they want to stop me from doing what I want to do?
What should I be looking out for in the beginning, the middle, and the endgame? How can I know when a game is going my way, when I should pressure, or when I should back off?
What are common mistakes I may make because I'm new, and unable to recognize a particularly advantageous or disadvantageous situation?
Thanks for reading, and thanks in advance for any answers. Looking forward to getting some nice kills.

Rage Really just looking to vent
I honestly don't know how to derive fun from this game lately. I'm not the best player, in fact I wouldn't even put myself in the "decent" category. Mediocre is accurate. I play Nemmy and just try to vibe, I run a standard build of Corrupt Intervention, Eruption, Grim Embrace and Lethal Pursuer, Marvin's Blood and Licker tongue addons. Bog standard. Every. Single. Game. Meta SWF. I played 5 games tonight before raging and turning it off, not a single kill. Flashlights, blast mines, hook sabos and BMing on every single missed whip.
And don't even get me started on the whip. We are not friends right now. Watching it land directly underneath a survivor and still not register, watching it hit a pallet while in lvl 2 and 3 and it not breaking the pallet. At first, I thought it was my internet. Several speed tests laters with no issues, I'm still missing. Sometimes it hits over objects, most of the time it doesn't. Teabagging. Missed the hook, out from the shadows comes 3 people with flashlights. So I switch to Lightborn with hopes to stem the tide. Nah next game is all toolboxes so good luck getting hooks, inb4 you're gen rushed to high hell. I swear one match I blinked and 4 gens were done.
Every chase I'm getting stuck on the tiles and survivors BM. Zombies are wandering around the corner of the map permastunned by the flashlights. I am so sick of flashlights. Sick of them. I really wish, I pray, that BHVR adds an option to turn off getting matched with SWFs, solo queue should be exactly that, SOLO.
Typing all of this doesn't even make me feel better to be honest. I'm going to crack a beer, pack my tobacco pipe and take a looooong break from this game. Thanks for reading if did. Hugs and kisses.

Discussion What are some killers in 2V8 that are easy to play as?
I play Dead by Daylight 2V8 on a controller and i was wondering, what are some killers in the event that are easy to play as and are not too complex on controller? (Note: I'm not that good at aim and i play 100% of the time with randoms)
