Waiting times for survivors ques are getting horrible
Like for real, waiting nearly 10 minutes to find a match at night is too much. And even during the day It can take up to 2 minutes, at times. And when trying to find a match with friends, regardless of time during the day, it can take up to 15 minutes not even joking. The waiting times are getting worse than how they during pre-MMR.

The que times where actually good when this MMR systems got enacted upon us. But as of lately they been getting worse.

Plz nerf all killers they to OP.
2 Seconds Later
Why are my survivor queues so long
70 -
Killer wait times are always longer for me.
2 -
Yeah, we (my g unit swf) need to play earlier in the day to ignore the crippling queue times. But we also do Genshin, so it is lowkey annoying. If we put off Genshin until later, the resin doesn't fully recharge. So... Kind of yikes.

Jeez i wonder why
Couldn't possibly have anything to do with nerfs to already bad killers or the introduction of these busted boon totems nah couldn't be
People should love playing killer and shouldn't be able to get enough of it totally

Always depended on time for me. 7pm and later my time=3+ minute survivor queue, 10 second killer queue. But now that's gotten longer. It went from the average I waited being around 3 minutes to now nearing 6 minutes these days. It's nearly doubled.

I don't know. I don't really mind 2 minutes. But then again, I've had to wait a full 24-hours for a ban to be up so I'm sort of used to waiting.

Honestly I don't blame them. I played killer, and as of lately the game has become a total sweat fest for killers. Which is why I don't play killer a whole lot, since I'm not interested in playing sweaty non-stop.

well if survivors would stop begging for nerfs, than queue times would be better.
32 -
And now everyone pretends again that playing Killer is SO HARD and this is why Killers quit. Always the same nonsense. Really, it gets tiresome.
@Topic:
I dont know what changed, but something changed. Survivor Queues got longer all of the sudden with the latest Grade Reset. This also shows it is not Killers quitting the game, this would be a gradual process and not from one day to the other.
If I would have to guess, I would say that it is because they changed something with MMR. Before it seemed like there were too many Killers on the high(er) MMR-Scale, because it is easier to get high MMR as Killer than Survivor. This would also explain why I got a bunch of Baby Survivors with my Huntress, I did play her today and the Survivors I got were way worse than my usual Survivors I get with her. I dont expect very strong Survivors, because I am not a great Huntress, but those were way worse and it was not even close to a challenge.
And again - this happened basically instantly.

Because nobody wants to play killer, especially in the evening when it’s a much higher % of coordinated SWF seal teams. Survivors are getting the easy games they’ve begged for and this is the result

Always has been. Sweat hours are not very enjoyable for killers.
11 -
Weekends seem to be mainly SWF groups so you won't find a solo queue survivor game. Not very quickly at least. Might as well play some killer, even if you just want to farm BP.

BHVR nerfed to many K's
16 -
The queues were good because killers were getting easier survivors pre MMR
0 -
That's what happens when killers are made into piñatas.
17 -
Nerf the killers too much and they don't play. It's like asking the chubby teenage kid with one leg to play tag with four Olympic hopefuls. He's going to get tired of it and stop playing.
17 -
I'm low mmr and it took like 5 minutes today to find matches. Normally it takes 20 seconds at most.

Playing both sides over 2000 hours I really REALLY feel that SWF should be removed from the game.. Usually SWF consists of very toxic groups of survivors or streamers that do their best to gen rush and be toixc to killers. All the info they have as well if they have coms is very unrealistic.. TBH there is no need for swf when there is KYF... TBH if they want to keep SWF in the game they should make 2 people no more but even that is sorta lame as well. This is supposed to be a horror game that emulates a horror movie.. Unless this movie is stay alive then people don't have coms lol. I will just ask this to people that do full SWF groups what would change if you just did KYF besides not getting bp..? Maybe they should give KYF half the blood points you could earn in normal games... Any who that is what I have to say about everything.. I feel for the most part killers are pretty balanced and if swf didn't exist you would still get good survivors that can loop but it wouldnt be 4 of them on coms that ruin your strategies.. Seriously if you watch DOWSEY hardcore survivors you can see the power that coms and swf have.. This is the true reason I think a lot of killers give up or do not play anymore.. The MMR has made this a lot worse as you don't even know what your getting till it's too late.. So that is why I think the queue is sooo long..

Look playing killer is stressful, most killers are leaving the game. I don't blame them as I am a killer main myself and honestly I'm sick of the sweat feast games, spirit nerf was needed true. Wraith's and deathslinger's nerf wasn't needed. Look survivors cry when a killer does good and they continue to cry to the devs until they nerf most of the killers.
Nerf your favorite killer to a state when you don't enjoy them anymore would cause you to leave the game as well, which causes longer wait times.
Once all the killers are gone the game will be dead. True some will return for new chapters but with every new chapter more the game breaks
Sorry I didn't mean to rant

It has been gradual for me. They keep getting longer and longer.
You had instant queues into long waits right on the 13th? Are there threads about it that I missed?
6 -
Nothing has changed for me. My queues are instant during the day and take around 3-5 minutes at night.
2 -
I started looking back at threads within 3 days of reset mentioning queue times and basically nobody brought it up, and I even saw your name talking about how the queues were balanced. Sus.
8 -
What server you play on? My surv queue during day is pretty fast, it gets slower in evening. Killer queue is the opposite. EU server

I recently moved from Killer Main to survivor. Best thing I did. Killer is in the mud and playing survivor is so easy. Best thing I did.

@Trickstaaaaa game is too survivor sided. So waiting time increase. Strong (not just meta, but with synergy too) killer builds need teachable perks from 3-4 killers (excluding the one you try to play). It takes time and a lot of grind (mostly as survivor).
And survivor need just Dead Hard and any 3 perks to prolong his life until gens are done.
Also waiting time is expected a lot, when killer look at 4 of you and leave the lobby.
Reason? Well it's casting. Survivor first impression matters:
*Bright colored clothes - loop runner.
*Blood stained clothes - player got prestige and maybe play and loop a lot more better than others.
*4 flashlights - NO, just no without lightborn, but the clicking sounds will haunt you during the sleep for a week or two.
*Clones - all survivors look the same, you can't guess who is your obsession or who just got exposed.
*4 toolboxes - do you like gen rush? Play offline, just you and the gens, repair them all.
*4 medkits - people tend to bring boons too... that defiling reality, they heal up faster than you damage them.
*Offensive names - be it variation of word "toxic" or just a name of known war criminal, doesn't matter, game is going to be hard and depressing.
*Matching names or themed names - SWF or meme squad, both can be unpleasant to plat against.
*Any player with private profile - any hex upon your head. Disconnects, abusers, top tier player pretending to be new.
Etc.
If killer don't like survivors in the lobby - he's leaving. That extends the waiting time for them.
Killer is named "Killer", not "Jester", so by any means necessary, unfair survivor advantages should be avoided.

Not instant. I would say my Survivor queues were like 1-2 minutes in the evening, Killer was like 30 seconds. Over the day, Killer was like 5 minutes and Survivor was instant.
But since a few days, Survivor takes 5 minutes in the evening. Killer is instant. Over the day it is still the same.
But as I said, I also notice that the quality of Survivors at least on my Huntress games is way lower now. It could be SWFs playing and bringing all their Newbie-Friends, but it is almost every Survivor I have faced yesterday. And Huntress is a Killer I play quite frequently, because the skilled Huntress Achievement is the last one I need. I played her the first time since the Reset yesterday and got Survivors who were way weaker and I did not go on a big loss streak before.
(It could be just a coincidence, the sample size is pretty small.)

If you don´t like long survivor queues, then just play killer! Killer queues are instant. I wish you a lot of success!
10 -
Let's see the good thing in this, killers are nerfed and survivors got coh.
1 -
My queues whenever I play surv have been getting much longer than normal.
1 -
i wonder someone asked wraith nerf or just from bottom mmr which most killers all killing most times..
2 -
Mine hasn’t really changed.
1 -
Lucky.
1 -
Your question, his answer
1 -
Cos hardly anyone wants to play killer, curtisy of you wonderful survivors moaning for regular nerfs. We all told you this would happen and in next 6 months it's gonna be worse
8 -
Survivor Q times for me are instant even with crossplay off, and killer takes 2-3 minutes.
1 -
Can you explain which nerfs were "begged" for lately besides the spirit one?
2 -
Deathslinger, Wraith, Pinhead?
7 -
I haven't noticed any difference, in other words survivor is instant-30 seconds earlier on while killer is a bit longer, and later on both are a few minutes at most with killer slightly faster. Unless we count the time my body thought it would be epic to suddenly become 100% awake at 4:40am and I got the bright idea of playing a DBD match once I realized I couldn't fall asleep again😄
1 -
Who asked for a deathslinger, wraith and pinhead nerf? I'm on these forums a lot and I don't remember seeing more than maybe 1 or 2 threads on the issue.
Please provide something that isn't anecdotal evidence.
2 -
They can't bully and degrade their 5th friend who is stuck playing killer in KYF.
2 -
Clearly i am on this forum more than you because i saw and responded to them.
9 -
Clearly, again, you only see what you wanna see, because a rare thread asking for a silly nerf isn't a general conclusion.

Boons are likely a much larger factor than MMR.
Killer was great when MMR came out at firstn then it kinda plateaued as peoples MMR grew and settled.
But Boons were an instant blow to killers. I literally won't play anyone other than Plague and Ghostface because of them. Any M1 killer is useless because hit and run doesn't work, any aura reading is useless so no more Mirror Myers, Lifeguard Lichen Demo, Nurses PH, etc.
"Just do bone kek kek kek"
It doesn't just take the killer 2s to snuff a boon, it takes 2s + travel time + dropping chase, all of which can add up to 15-60 seconds of wasted time. Then they just rebless it again anyway. SWF can literally have one immersed blendette doing nothing but Boons and they still have enough gen pressure to escape with 0K.
As a killer, you give up on snuffing boons, because you know it's pointless. They're permanent fixtures, unlike Hexes which vanish in 20 seconds.
13 -
Not to mention that, in maps and buildings with multiple floors, you might never have the oportunity to snuff a boon at all. On both Gideon's and Midwich you hear the sound of the totem, look for it, doesn't find it, realize it's on another floor and just give up.
10 -
In my opinion they finally tweaked the MMR. There was something weird that allowed average killers to get high MMR survivors. I have a friend who only plays killer during the weekend and he was getting 4k hours survivors. Now he's back to getting average survivors. So if you're high MMR survivor, your queue times are probably long again.

The most disgusting totem/boon placement is on RPD. A totem can spawn in the third floor of the library, so the killer has to go all the way upstairs to the third floor, across the walkway and to the back corner to break it lmao.
It's also do dumb that it can cover 3 floors with it's huge aoe radius.
3 -
Loads up game
Instantly hears 2 boons go off
Doesn't que for another
If you think it's "just MMR" you are clearly blind to how unfun the game is right now as a killer.
My killer ques are literally instant, that says a lot.

10 minute queues hinge on the assumption that the lobby wont glitch out and wes have to reboot the game
