Why Killers are slower now?

Did anyone notice that the killers are slower? Survivors get a ridiculous amount of distance just running in a straight line.

    I don't think they are any slower. and the "hold w" strategy has always been really good. You can't get mind gamed at pallets when you minimize the opportunities for them to try, so oddly enough, you can last a bit longer.

    I don't know, maybe is the new animations on survivors. But something is not right.

    They're not slower

    Did you switch to a taller killer or get a different monitor or something? I know that due to how perspective shifts, the camera hight will give you the illusion that a killer is faster or slower than they actually are.

    Maybe you met a hacker? Two days ago, I met a hacker who reduced the lunge and speed of the killer. He's been banned already, but you don't know?

    I think it's in our mind because when I play survivor I'm always like "How did the killer catch up so fast!" And when I'm killer I'm like "Why is it taking so long to catch up to this blendette!"

    Honestly I have felt slower during chases as well, I think something is actually wrong. Also lets be real, would anyone even be the slightest bit surprised if they did bug killer movement speed?

    Killers aren't slower, but the hold-W problem has been a thing for... I think it came to light with the Silent Hill chapter and Midwich's awful corridor situation? And since then it's just this really good tactic agasint 115 non-mobile killers

    People have started adapting to the hold W meta, so it feels like you can't catch up.

    i suggest start using stbfl because of that hold W

    I think Hillbilly is a bit slower, but its probably a bug.

    It is because of the internet. It sometimes happens to me in some matches I feel like I am slower than normal then I understand there was a ping at the survivor that I am chasing. Probably it is because of the ping.
