Killer boycott

Pretty sure the only way the dev's will listen is if killer mains take a break from the game and extend survivor times. Survivors will complain about queue times and since they're the cash cow devs will have to do something about it, which will obviously be in the killers favor to bring back killers.

    Killer boycott won't happen. Why? Bloodpoints and the absolute boredom and tediousness of the survivor role. I switched some time ago because I got tired of getting tunneled to death as a solo survivor and lucky if I can get 14k out of a match. As killer, I get 25k even if I get owned by a 4 man swf. Still worth it. This is not including Chili, but it does include WGLF - which requires much more to get the bonus than Chili does.

    I'll stick to killer regardless, thanks.

    "You guys" implying that you are a survivor main. Why exactly do you not play killer?

    killer is only 20% of the playerbase if that with previous changes. They have no incentive at all to help killers at all, and they have every incentive to make gameplay easier for survivors. Keeping 80% of the playerbase happy at the expense of 20% is pretty good for a game.

    Translate what you just said into the real world - China keeps it's 95% of its population happy by persecuting the 5% Uighur minority. Does that sound good to you? is that fair?


    Fun fact - are you aware that NetEase made a "strategic investment" into BHVR a little while back? just a fun fact, nothing more.

    I'd say keeping 95% of people happy is in china's favor. Doesn't matter what it sounds like to me, what matters is what it sounds like to china and what it does. You're just not putting the matter in perspective

    Well considering you need 4 survivors and 1 killer to play a game, yeah no ######### the killer playerbase is 20%


    but don't forget you survivors need at least 1 killer to play the game and the average queue time for survivors is already 10+ minutes.


    So 20% of the killer playerbase should be met with the same level as the 80% of the survivor playerbase|


    If all killers went on strike (which they had before) survivor queue times will be over 2 hours long. So 20% of the playerbase holds more power than you think
