New Players on Switch Theory?

So a lot of the changes they keep mentioning new players and it just came out on switch, is it possible that that's where all of the bad data is coming from? The switch is a fairly weak piece of hardware compared to everything else and I wonder if that has an effect on how people perform in matches

    I am a red rank survivor on switch. The average skill level is significantly lower than on other systems, probably due to players being less experienced and the general demographic of Nintendo owners. Furthermore, the frame rate is incredibly inconsistent. On games where skill checks go smoothly I can usually hit great checks, but some games skill checks skip so much its nearly impossible.

    That being said, there aren't a whole lot of players on switch (I tend to see the same few names over and over). I can pretty easily power through ruin when frame rate is bad, and when Killers don't run it they get genrushed. So, if they are doing it because of switch, its still a stupid decision.

    Honestly I think it was a bad idea of them to rush out a switch and mobile port
