Decrease in players playing "X" role or just matchmaker being a pain?

Honestly the more and more i see these posts on "Queue times taking too long for Survivor" the more that i feel i was correct in what i said at the start of the year what this game would become. I genuinely feel that Killers have had enough and just don't have as much fun as they use to, thus they either start queuing as Survivor thus making queue times even longer or they simply just uninstall the game as a whole.

Something to think about. If 5 Killers uninstall this game or move to Survivor thats 20 Survivors having to wait longer in queues. Now something easily logical lets say 1000 Killers uninstall or move to Survivor thats 4000 Survivors waiting longer in queues. Not everyone can play Survivor otherwise you have no game, unless the devs implemented AI of course which in all honesty they should probably consider.

Just to see if my theory is correct on this id be curious to see a tally ratio of how many are queuing as Killer and queue for Survivor similar to what Call of Duty shows. For example 50,647 are in Free for All queuing, 101,379 for TDM as well as a queue time estimate. It would also help out the player base as they would know if it is actually a decrease in players issue or the match maker queue just being a pain again.

Something that i can go off at the moment though is Twitch, for the most part when you scroll through the streamers most are playing Survivor, sure there are Killers here and there but for the most part its Survivor gameplay.

It is more the SWF-Change and the Rank Reset Change. SWF-Change resulted in longer queues for Survivors from one day to another while Killer was vice-versa. This is not a shortage of Killers.

And, I dont know why this is happening, but before that Change I got matched against some Streamers I know who play Killer every evening. But since this change I only had it two times that I got matched against those Streamers (one time the match being cancelled because someone crashed in Loading). And this is simply odd, they are playing at the same time, at the same Rank I am and usually I encountered them once or twice a week, and now it was only two times in several months.

And if you see the Matchmaking Posts, most of the time Low Rank Killers need to go against Red Ranks Survivors, often SWF. This is most likely because of the Rank Reset Changes. Before someone who reached Rank 4 would have been reset to Rank 13 or something like that, meaning that he would be in the Range for a Rank 15 Killer. But now they get reset to Rank 5, which is out of Range. And eventually, everyone will end up in Red Ranks.

So I guess those Matchmakings happen because both the SWFs/Red Ranks and the Killer (who is low rank) have long queue times, which then put them up against each other at some point.

(Personally, SWF-Change AND Rank Reset Change should be reverted. The Ranking System is not perfect, but it worked out... In German there is a word for trying to make things better but make them worse "verschlimmbessern", and this is basically what BHVR is doing right now)
