Consistent 10 minute survivor queue times

44,000 players playing on steam right now and cross play turned on.

I get faster lobbies in F13... which is practically dead game. I know it doesn't have a ranking system, but still! I get games on there MUCH faster with only 500 people playing.

Come on BHVR. It's about time you sorted out queue times. The last 2 games I did load into, one survivor never loaded in and so the game quit. Just last game a killer DCed as soon as the match started.

This is a terrible experience.

    What do you expect when there's few killers? It's not a Dev problem, it's a ratio problem. People want to play survivor far more than killer, either because they can play with their friends or because it's easier/less stressful.

    There are more survivor players then killer players by leaps and bounds across all platforms. I don't know whats hard to understand about that

    This is the exact reason, except that killer/survivor balance is not consistent over the course of the day.

    Morning and daytime - long killer q's, but instant for survivors.

    Prime time (evening/night) - vice versa, survivors' queue lasts 5-10mins.

    hmh, never give incentives to play killer, make the killer role way harder than the survivor role, after 4 tomes, still adding more survivor challenges than killer challenges: profit your 10 minutes queue.

    I waited over 10 minutes to find a game to be mori in less than half that time. As I queue for the next game I came to the forums to read this.
