Who else wants the devs to go crazy on the PTB with killer buffs?

I think it would be really cool to have a PTB where all of the weak killers ( Leatherface, Wraith, Trapper etc. ) got some supreme buffs to them. I think the devs are a bit concerned about buffing killers too much, but that is why the PTB is there to be honest.

I would just go crazy, look at lots of the buffs the community has recommended ( along with their own buff ideas ) and just implement them to each respective killer, then see what sticks and take it from there. This then removes the fear of a killer becoming too OP in the live servers and they hopefully would get a killer to a nice level of power.

What do you all think?

Nice idea, but survivors would simply not play on the PTB. Since there's nothing for them to gain. We've seen this several times in the past. No huge survivor buff? No interest.

It is a real shame because the PTB is the ideal place for all of this. But I guess survivors always take priority for the devs so yeah.

I think the problem with the PTB is, that there is no real benefit for playing on it. People don't get BPs, rank, shards or anything. So they don't bother, unless it's something exciting as a new killer. But even then, all survivors try to test the killer instead of playing survivor.

We need an incentive for players to actually play both roles on the PTB. Maybe shards or even a small amount of auric cells for X amount of games/time played.

It's really annoying because most of the killers in the game don't need incremental changes, they need more substantial, immediate buffs. Especially the likes of Freddy, Wraith and Leatherface.

Totally agree.

I don't go on there to test or avoid it because there's buffs or nerfs to either side. I go on there to help test for bugs and see what's going on as do most probably. S far as survivors avoiding it because of buffs/nerfs the same could be said for killers several of whom over the months have posted what you're accusing survivors of doing.

I've never in the last 30 years ever avoided testing something because there was a nerf or buff to my favorite or to something I didn't like.

So stop lumping all survivors in with the ones that do the exact same thing some killers do. It's no different than when some survivors cough bar*** lump all killers in together.
