update heavily favors killers

Update heavily favors killers. Cant do much as a survivor anymore. killers hit markers are larger and wider than before. Survivors cant 360 anymore. At the point where I dont even want to play as survivor anymore because theres almost no chance to escape. Also playing as killer is way too easy now and there is no challenge. I like the updates to the maps however I dont know why the change to gameplay was done, it was not needed. Most likely will stop playing this game if changes aren't made

    While I does it was unintentional. Survivor queues are good finally at least

    When a Killer smacks you from 5ft away from the window you just vaulted it's not because his attack now hits that far or has broken hitboxes, It seems like it's because on his screen you were still vaulting the window and he got a fair hit from his perspective. In fact, for the first few days of only playing Killer after the update I just thought I was being paired with terrible Survivors and didn't notice that there was anything wrong until I went online.

    So essentially the update technically favours Killers, but they are doing absolutely and objectively nothing wrong in this situation. It's just unfortunately broken and there's nothing a Killer can do to stop this annoyance to the Survivors, short of just loading in and watching you earn bloodpoints while he gets nothing.

    you can still 360. I've done it to many killers since the update. The only problem is the desync issue which was not intended.

    playing killer has always been relatively easy and the same goes for survivor. Nothing about this update has changed that.

    I also assume you will be leaving once the change DS. If this is the case have a good rest of your life <3

    EDIT: also this patch included an unintended buff to survivors which came in the form of que times. This also meant a nerf to killer que times since that is how ques work.

    @selflessnea nah bro I dont even use DS so nice try. Also you must be facing rank 20 killers if you think the update hasnt had any affect on survivors ability to juke and 360. I never said the game was hard for killers which is why I dont understand why so many people on here complain about playing killer. If you think the update hasnt changed the way the game plays then theres no point in continuing this conversation with you.

    @Tank yes I agree with you. It is just frustrating to play as survivor now because it happens more often than it did before the update

    Wasn't trying to take a dig with the DS comment sorry if you took it that way.

    As I stated earlier the issue with spinning/juking is mainly do to the desync issue that is going on right now. It can still be done it is just, in some cases, different then before.

    I agree with you on the fact that I dont understand why people are so dead set on saying killer is hard. I was just saying that neither side was hard and the update has done anything to drastically make one side easier.

    Okay. The update that nerfed Ruin/Undying to be in line with other slowdown perks, by the way.

    Yeah, that's understandable. Even being camped feels better than losing to something that should not be possible. I just don't think there is any reason to attribute this to the very absurd Survivor vs Killer bonfire this community loves to throw fuel onto for no reason.

    It's a bug and not the game being tilted towards one side, nobody is abusing bugs or exploits to unfairly gain an advantage here. Killers still have to land a fair hit on their screen, it's just that both sides seem to see slightly different things currently. Get mad at the developers or QA team for not checking this aspect, although I am only assuming that they have the capability to do so and that may not be fair to them either. I don't know.

    That being said, I fully expect everyone to still hate each other over this. Including the Developers hating players and players hating everyone.

    It's an error. Don't worry they're fixing it Tuesday.
