Think survivor que times will finally get shorter with DS nerf?

You think survivor times will get short since DS can't get abused anymore and that'll give people a reason to not fear playing killer? Possibly.

    Killers are still shaking in their boots in fear of survivors having "60 whole seconds of invincibility!"

    Nothing satisfies these people, they complain for the sake of doing so.

    I don't think queue times will see significant changes.

    The problem still lies that at certain hours people are more likely to queue up and play with their friends.

    i saw in the post about the guy who watched the stream so you dont have to, say that the reason the q's are so bad for survivors is because the number of people playing survivor is vastly higher than the killers q'ing. They also said in a perfect world for every 4 survivors q'ing 1 killer will q but the survivors numbers are much higher than 4 to 1

    Survivors still win if they sit on gens the entire game and don't let go no matter what. Me and my friend were playing last night, and we were just aggressively sitting on generators even with mediocre teammates we would still win pretty much every time, by just hammering out generators. DS isn't the underlining problem here in my opinion

    No, because survivor ques aren't higher because of perks like ds and OoO.

    There are a lot of reasons survivor is more popular than killer. Being able to play with friends is one of the big ones.

    People can have fun chatting and running around with friends, playing for real or sandbagging each other. Meanwhile, the killer is alone, and gameplay gets stale. It's easy to get burned out playing killer. Events and new killers can bring a refreshing change of pace, at least for a little bit, but DbD hasn't really been doing events (hopefully that's going to change) and The Twins are just... bleah. So, why should anyone but total newbies want to play killer? And why should newbies stick around when matchmaking is so awful?
