Killer or Survivor Main?

Thought of doing this as a poll but it got a bit complex with the type of answers I'm looking for.

Survivor main always

Killer main always

Both always

Those 3 make sense for a poll. But there are a few others

No longer play killer because ______

No longer play survivor because ______

No longer play the game because ______

Wondering if anyone has a special story of what they play (or don't) and why. Of course try to be positive. Devs do read in here sometimes. And posts like "the game is dead" doesn't help. So. Let's be productive. Positives and negatives. Go!

    Both always, same amount of games on one side and the other every day, I play one side, then change to the other side, red rank 1 on both sides, Trapper and GF main basement build for both, never camp, never tunnel, I don't mori unless deathhook or teabagged. Bill, Dwelf and hot Kate mains, always same build, BT + Fixated + Spine Chill + We'll make it

    I used to play both but mostly killer. Now I only play survivor.

    Positives: killer was fun. Good little rush of excitement. Survivor is diverse. I can be santa with boxes, the "chase me" guy with a flashlight, or a gen jocky with my toolbox. I can play how I want, and usually have a similar winrate (roughly).

    Negatives: Killer is stressful now. It always has been. But it's gotten REALLY tough, where one or two mistakes ends your game unless you run a certain build. Kindof the opposite of the survivors positive. You are almost forced into certain playstyles to win. And I don't like to choose between fun or a chance at winning. Negatives for survivor would be the lack of things to do. Killer chases are REALLY fun. But only one person can do it at a time. And if you are good at it. That's the end of the game. It's just gens and optional totems.

    I like both. Just can't deal with the killer side as it is currently.

    Killer main always because I've had more fun playing killer simply because I get a thrill from being out played which in return makes me better, not only that killer is the only skilled thing about this game.

    No longer play the game because.., it's not fun anymore. Killer is too stressful and the devs only listen to survivors and I don't appreciate being part of a community were only half of it is seen and heard, and the other half is seen but not heard. I do play survivor but survivor is boring af to me and very easy

    Sadly it is 1/5 is seen but not heard. I'm with you. But the killers opinions are the minority simply because of math.

    Both, I made that decision when I joined the Forums. I wanted to understand both sides, so I started playing both sides.

    Prior to joining, I played Wraith exclusively.
