Just some thoughts
Before I get into anything, BHVR please change the killer lobby back to where I can pick a different killer while waiting. Sometimes while waiting i wanna switch killers but I don't wanna leave the lobby and abandon the survivors. Too annoying.
Is the game balanced? Honestly answer is idk. Sometimes the game feels like it and other times not so much. I play both survivor and killer so I've seen both sides of the spectrum. Firstly I'm not gonna be complaining about anything in the game. Just some slight things might be said here and there.
For the survivor side there are many advantages,SWF being one of them. Communication in this game is very important and playing with friends is fun. Now is it OP, sometimes it can be. It really all depends on how many people you play with, skill level, and the killer. I've played with friends who have a decent amount of experience and have won and lost games. I've played with different experience levels as well. And that also effects the outcome. SWF is as only good as the people playing.
On the killer side SWF goes the same way. I've had matches where I do really well, or I get completely destroyed in the end. Does it suck to kill barely anybody or nobody at all. Yeah it does. But that was because they had good teamwork and played a lot.
Idc how people play honestly. If killers face camp or tunnel oh well. They lose time and don't get a lot of kills and I don't get a lot of points. Same with survivors. They can flashlight a lot, t-bag, or use keys it's part of the game, well minus the t-bag but it's okay.
People still complain when the slightest nerf happens on either side. When Ruin got changed people were upset. As a player who has experienced it both ways it was a better change. Sure old Ruin helped people get better at skill checks sometimes, but it definitely slowed the game down too much for survivors. Now the new one is okay, not broken and still works. Same thing happened with DS. Was nerfed to only be used at a certain time now. Still used a lot and not broken.
My final thought I'm pretty sure everyone can agree on. The Devs take way too long to fix or do anything productive. I enjoy the game but please fix the damn grind for levels. It's so annoying for people to start playing this game. Takes forever to level up characters and it's not that fun. I've played on 3 different platforms and I'm tired of having to grind up characters for hundreds of hours. It's a fun game but come on BHVR it's not hard to fix this and you say on stream you have no plans for the next 6 to 9 months to fix this. That's just pure laziness. Just give us double points. I have explained before that you can just boost the max point cap at the end. Not hard at all.
This is also for the Advent Christmas event for 2020. They literally at the time of writing at the end of week 2 have given us 10,000 bloodpoints as login bonus a day, minus the shards. I'm sorry but I'm flipping you the finger BHVR. You guys suck ass at this event. There is basically no point to these rewards when I can get more points playing one match. Yeah you can get cosmetics but who cares about some of them. These bloodpoints are a big F U to the community. Give us 50,000 or 100,000. It takes over a million points to reach level 40. Lazy Devs as usual can't even make an event worth logging in minus paid cosmetics that actually look nice but I'm not paying for because I don't have the money to do so.
