Killers need perks to win and survivors don't
Does anyone else notice this? I play a match as perkless doctor, hag, huntress, ghostface and I always lose, but playing as any perkless survivor I always have a decent winrate and I still perform well despite having no perks. If some killers can't win a match without the proper perks or addons, then they need a buff. We shouldn't be relying on perks to balance this game.
Edit: excluding Nurse, Spirit and Hillbilly from this. Those three can win a game without perks if they do well, but they are still pretty hard to play. Same with Freddy, though he's pretty easy.

they did an experiment called "vanilla" where nobody used any perks. The outcome was pretty obvious, killer got ass-kicked, except for few (pre-nerf) nurses.

Actually my red rank squad got really close to losing by just a base spirit with no perks. So idk what that says about how strong spirit is. (Rank 3 btw)

I really meant everyone except the nurse, the spirit and maybe the hillbilly. It's hard, but sometimes if you're really good at them you can secure the win without perks.

Survivors will be the final power role as long as the power and balance difference between solo and swf survivor exists. The perk balance is part of that problem.

I disagree. Killer would perform better in no perk mode. Perks like SB/ DH, DS, adrenaline, unbreakables and BT make much bigger impact to gameplay than killer perks. If they added vanilla mode i can almost guarantee we would see more killers playing it than survivors

When i first lvled deathslinger i was rank 18. Hadnt played since the nurse rework. When i wasnt facing potatoe survivors i was struggling with gen pressure. Then at 15 the bloodweb blessed me with pgtw. It made a big difference. Matches i should have lost were saved because of it. Perks are needed on many killers.

Did they publish the results of the experiment anywhere?

A Good nurse, hillbilly or spirit (and maybe Oni) could have a chance on a "NO PERKS" match.
But if survivors are decent and focus on gens (no NOED, no need for secondary objectives) and spread out and don't give the killer a snowball... ez game.
That's what's broken about this game, the base game mechanic is survivor sided.

absolutely, I physically had to search online and that's the main outcome.
for whatever reason they didn't give any information about, they seemingly forgot about it, probably because the results would probably lead to a big survivor nerf, which isn't really healthy for this game? idk

Slugging would be more viable that fixing all 5 gens as no one would have unbreakable. Also no ds. No borrowed. No sprints. No dead hards.

You got any link? I cant seem to find anything online.

It all depends on the situation, but yes, slugging would be a good option. Camping, patrolling the hook and tunneling would be good strategies too since, as you said, no DS and no BT. Again, all depending on the situation.

I mean define win? If you are saying a 4k, then yeah I agree, with the exceptions you listed as Nurse, Spirit and Billy are all very strong killers. If you are talking a 2k with 2 escape, I think other killers like huntress, piggy, and freddy will probably also be fine without perks.
