    It depend of the time of the day but most of the time you will wait 5 to 10 minute when you play survivor and killer will wait less than a minute depend on the rank too im rank 1 killer and rank 3 survivor that my experience with my wait time and on some group im on its the same

    After 7pm GMT the survivor queue times are longer and the killers is noticeably shorter. But before that survivor queues are almost instant for me.

    In the afternoon where I live killer ques can take 3-5 mins and survivors around 40 seconds but in the evening its reverse.

    5 in the morning and im still getting instant killer lobbies in ranks. cant say the same for survivor, but the even certainly has reduced the queue times.

    Early in the day I get quick survivor times, after I'd say 12/1 killer queue times become about 15 seconds while survivor queue times will become 10 minutes.

    I feel like the servers can't handle the large amount of people playing properly as i've been getting long queues on both sides.

    It feeds the narrative that Killer is REALLY, REALLY hard to play (haha).

    In my region, it is mostly depending on the time of the Day. And it seems to be like that in other Regions too.

    During "peak hours" (evening/night and most times on Saturdays) in my region the killer wait is very short but I'll wait 5-10 minutes for a survivor match. During the day time like early afternoon it's about the same amount of time, just a minute or two for both. During the event killer waits on mornings have been longer though.

    Different times, different queues. But it's much longer than 3 months ago.

    Instant killer que or longest 2 minutes

    Survior que either solo or 4stack is minum 10-15 minutes and sometimes its even 20 minutes long depending on the night.

    The event and dlc has helped but for ps4 its still massively longer to be Survior

    The logic is you only need 1/4 of the killers as you do Surviors for instant matches both sides

    So if killers are instant then there's 10-20 times the survivors

    and that imbalance could be pure players a combo with ranks imbalance as there are wayyy more red rank survivors then killers

    There’s always more killers during new releases. Lots of people playing PH

    Here's hoping that when Cross-play is introduced, Queue times will drop due to the increased amount of players to connect to. Although there is the slight possibility that increasing the amount of players will mostly increase the amount of "Survivor" players, which will mean that playing Killer will get instant connections, but survivor queue times will increase... I'm Trying not to think about that while attempting to stay positive.

    Considering how often killers are matched with survivors far higher in rank. I think a more accurate conclusion would be there aren't that many high rank killers. Not necessarily killers in general.
