Queue Times Taking Forever!

I've noticed wait times are taking a long time. And after reading up, alot of people are saying its due to killer shortage. Most people want to play survivor. Cant they fix this by making killers CP and then allowing people to play killer if they want? To fill in the gaps? Idk, just an idea.

    I recommend trying the other role, if one role is taking a while. Usually the queues have opposite queue times.

    (if survivor is taking long, killer should be fast and vice verse)

    Well... would you want to play as the killer if all you get is.

    Swf groups with comms.

    Killer nerfs.

    Survivor buffs

    T bagged through the game.

    Etc etc etc and so.


    I don't think most players want to play killer because it's always a survivor sided game. The killer hardly gets a good game anymore.


    Take for example my last game.

    3 gens popped before I even hooked 1 survivor. 0 kills in the game.

    Is that fun for the killer? No it is not.

    Why? Unfair matchmaking again.

    The balance between the two sides of the game needs to be looked at if they expect players to want to play killer. They may not consider que times to be problematic.

    Matchmaking is likely the easisest place to start. Making sure the killer is equal or greater rank than the highest rank survivor, i think, would go a long way to keeping killers playing.

    "SWF groups with comms"

    THAT is the single biggest reason I began playing killer much less than I used to. For the first 2 years I had the game it was 60/40 with 40 being killer. After a while it just wasn't fun. I usually play killer 3 or 4 times a season now and it's just for dailies and maybe some rift challenges.

    I'd be more inclined to play killer now if there was a bot system similar to what Friday the 13th has. It's not going to make anyone great but I wouldn't mind getting a warm and fuzzy with blight before going against swf teams.
