About too long time to match as survivor
I am Red belt suvivor but very wait for a long time for matching.
I think there are two reasons.
1.simply less people play as killer
2.Killer's emeblem is too severe in comparison with survivor.And There are less number of red-belt-killer in comparison with red-belt-survivor.In other words I feel that rate of red belt is not same.
So now my killer rank is around 8. But survivor mostly come from upper rank that incrudes Red belt.
This is very annoying fact to continue to play as killer. So killer get disappointed and don't play as killer.
I think this is down-spiral.
To improve this problem You need to change several things to emblem.
I think there are many unfair points to killer's emblem.
improvement plan
One is about one-punch-down. Billy's chainsaw is not easy to hit Evil within is not easy to become tier 3.
But one-punch-down is not valued by emblem the same as hit twice.
So please add points when one-punch-down happen to healthy survivor
Two is about Gatekeeper Emblem.
Now cap is 9 mins but make it increase to 12 mins.
Three is about Devout Emblem
Now Max is 100% but that is too severe.So add new point event to hooking 6 times. And Max will become 110%.
Four is about Malicious Emblem.
Now when survivor is healed lose points. This is very annoying as killer. So eliminate it.

Nah, just start balancing for the killers "FUN" like they have been balancing for survivors "FUN" and more people will come back to killer.
Until then, enjoy lobby simulator.
Survivor emblem needs to rely more on escaping.

its just matchmaking being unbalanced.
You get matched with ranks of all kind of colors.
Nothing that has to do with "OMG,kIlErS QuItTiNg????"

Shouldn't it be faster then?

Not if matchmaking is broken

If its taking every rank then it should be instantly, but it takes so long
I get killer matches in less than 5 seconds

I love how survivor mains always say it's matchmaking issue when their queques are bad. Less than 2 month ago it used to be that killer queques were worse and back then you same people were saying it's becouse there are no survivors.. Now after Nurse, spirit, freddy and oni nerfs survivor queques are significantly longer.. what a mystery indeed! must be that broken matchmaking and yet i get instant matches as a killer while as a survivor i wait several minutes

I love how some people think Im a survivor main.
Also,no, Killer is 3X times more fun to play than solo survivor,stop playing the victim;the game is no longer survivor sided like it used to be in 2016-2017.
If you still lose a lot while playing as killer ,git gud

Legion got buffed; Spirit got barely touched, Nurse is still strong, Ghostface is still strong,Billy is still strong,Plague is still strong...
There are soo many strong killers and oh,btw,many people think playing killer is more enjoyable than playing survivor.
Uuuuuuhmmm,really makes you think,uh?

Do you know the definition of "broken" ?
1 -
All I know is before dedicated servers - instant, after dedicated servers - few minutes.
I don't know if it is fewer killers - before I would run into the same killers over and over, but now I rarely see the same killer in a night, each one is different, which is fine by me.

That depends entirely on your personal point of view. I play surivor about 60-65% of the time, and killer the rest (obviously). And thats because even as i play 90% survivor games as solo surivor, they are way more fun than killer games, because they are much more thrilling (at least to me). You have to survive, after all. Killer still has some basic problems (at least if you dont play killer main, because that is a requirement for "git gud" when you are constantly paired against red rank survivor as a rank 12 killer). Notice that i am not a rank 1 player, but end up with survivor between rank 6 and 3, and killer between 9 and 6 before rank reset).
And i dont want to invest more time than i have for killers to "git gud", i just want a matchmaking that pairs me against equally skilled survivors.

Its matchmaking.

I think the Archives have a lot to do with it as most of them are survivor challenges and I've found myself playing a lot more survivor games especially on some of the more difficult challenges. But it is odd when I play killer at rank 12 and get a SWF team of rank 4-6 and get bullied for 1or 2 kills. Then again my next match will be solo rank 15s and I destroy them with add ons and perks I should have brought the last game and then feel bad for taking my frustrations out on a team that didn't deserve it, lol.

It is a ranking system problem not a player base problem. Survivor ranks are heavily inflated compared to killer.
3 -
People don't drop role because of small tweaks. If this was true, wouldn't killer queues skyrocket when BL and medkit nerfed? No, it's ranking system problems as usual. This would be obvious to you if you saw the ranks of survivors versus ranks of killers. Highly inflated survivor ranks due to bad system.

So, Spirit is bugged? Yesterday I played as her for the first time after the nerf and she felt weird.

I used to play both about equally, though probably more killer than survivor, but killer has just gotten... tiresome. I find it's more fun to die as a solo survivor than to get a few sacrifices as killer, so I'll probably mostly stick to survivor, now. At least I can screw around, have fun, and then get killed when I'm bored and move on to the next match. And if queues are too long, then I'll just play anything else, because no other game on PS4 screws up the audio and drops frames the way DbD does for killers.
Hopefully the devs will start programming AI killers to fill the gap, 'cause there's no incentive to load up the game if the survivor queues are so long I only get to play once or twice during my free time. And opening up matchmaking to grab from a wider pool is not the answer: it's miserable to play a survivor match against an inexperienced killer and watch them get bullied. Many nights I've just turned the game off after having a match like that, because it's not fun.

Yes an exhaustion perk is the equivalent of 4-5 killers. Survivors are skins 🤦♂️

By the way, It's true that survivor queues are taking much longer than killer queues, it may be a bug, but I have my doubts. I don't think the devs would admit there's currently a lack of killers, because that would lead to believe playing killer is not very fun, which wouldn't be good for the game's reputation and sales.
And I can confirm that I don't play killer as much as I used to, simply because playing killer isn't that fun once you become aware of all the issues and balance problems you have to deal with as a killer.

Killers are very fun in general so I'm going to ignore those complaints of yours. 1/4 > 4/18 btw

Killer has only gotten more fun since the beginning. To start crying rn over hiccups is ridiculous.

Yes, comrade.

Pig was constantly soft nerfed all year too. Huntress got a buff tho.
Well you are correct it's not as survivor sided as it once was. It's also debatable still. It still borderline survivor sided. More maps with huge areas or broken loops. Devs talk about balance, but fix little on those broken maps. Not to mention when a issue or bug benefitting a survivor or hinders a killer it takes awhile to patch. Yet any bug that benefits a killer is usually found and dealt with ASAP. The longest running beneficial bug to killer was the aura outline on survivors for PS4.
Overall they are working on it, but the biggest issues imho are map sizes and imbalances. We won't really know what needs fixing until overly large maps and broken loops are dealt with.
The new Badham preschool maps are pretty balanced and is in general a pretty 50/50 map with pallet spawns making it tilt a bit, but not excessively.

I still find Nurse hella fun to play,even if autoaim can make you rage a lot.
Bugs shouldnt be taken into consideration when talking about balance ,tbh.
Hoenstly, I cant see how killer can be THAT frustrating.
I'm very calm when I play and rarely 0K (doesnt matter the killer I use) and when I do its because I went against a tryhard SWF group which I knew I couldnt do anything about it so why should I care?
Sounds are broken once again;yes. I absolutely hate how sound has to be broken once every 2 patches.
Overall; Solo surv is 3 times more frustrating,Imo, since you are limited to your teammates skill,doesnt help that the ranking system is flawed for both sides so you get matched with potatoes.
Not to mention BPs gain which is considerably lower compared to killers.

-_-
But its been like....
Since the release of the Curtain Call chapter?
Thats sad ...

If killer would be more fun again more people would play killer.

Historically one side having longer queues has almost ALWAYS been an imbalance of the 4:1 survivor to killer ratio, e.g. killers having super long queues at killer releases because of too many killers/lack of survivors (except for Oni release this time).
I see no reason why this would be any different, except now there are too many survivors/lack of killers. You can take that however you will, but that'll be the reason.

Killer is a miserable experience. Despite that I'd rather have instant killer lobbies than 10+ minute survivors lobbies because I want to play the game not sit around, but I know most people just won't play killer.
