Stop calling someone a killer or survivor main just because of balance changes!

I see a lot of ppl calling someone a killer main because they say: "These changes were needed", "survivors are stronger", etc. But that is so wrong: survivor is actually stronger then killer and that's a fact, so some ppl (surv or killer main that knows how the game balance is) are going to say what's true and ask for changes.

There's also a lot of content creators who mains survivor saying that these changes are great or even asking for killer buffs.

    This goes both ways, and has always been the case. It's an easy way to try and devalue someone's opinion.

    I've been called a survivor main because I have suggested nerfs to camping and tunneling, and a killer main for defending Doc because I think he is in a balanced state.

    If your opinion differs from mine = you are a ______ Main and your opinion is invalid.

    It's also easy to see who the problem people are in a community, and I'm sure the devs can see that.

    But rather than telling someone to stop, just keep being unbiased in your suggestions, and people will listen, but more importantly the devs will likely take those suggestions more seriously because they genuinely care about the health of the GAME. Not a role.

    Nobody is going to stop, unfortunately. Don't even waste your time.

    A lot of players feel they need to elaborate on how they formed their opinions on how they see the game as a whole... so it's easier to say x main or y main to say what side their opinions came from

    Though I understand what you are saying... its only the negative versions of players opinions that are shared/ reacted to

    So as a player of this game I truly want this game to thrive... and I feel that the changes only justify that the devs are of the same mindset

    The problem is this forum has become an echo chamber. Killers are underpowered and can’t do anything to stop survivors from doing gens, survivors so OP. Anyone that disagrees is labelled a survivor main and the echo chamber carries on.

    Altought killer is actually weaker, some killers complain way too much without thinking about survivor's fun (spirit and intense and fun gameplay of holding M1) and this game is casual, so if something is unfun it should be changed.
