So, um, is it all over? Did the killers win?

All day long, all day! If I try to play a killer match then the wait time is ridiculous!

So I guess that means the killers won,right? All the survivors have been killed off. The infestation has been eradicated. The gens will be forever safe and The Entity shall feast no more!


Ok I’m just being goofy. After all, nothing else to do while I wait for a lobby. I understand that this is realistically a combo of the new killer + my MMR. I’m ps4 only (No crossplay ever since that scare of hackers ‘bricking’ consoles) and I’m a low-moderate skill killer. Even still. This is taking forever!

    Its just an overall lower playerbase for both sides. It also depends on the time of day and what new content is coming out. Sometimes I get instant matches for survivors then 5-10 minutes for killers other times it flips. Thus why crosplay was created.

    Keep in mind too that there is a new killer, which traditionally bumps the killer queues up as everybody want to play as the new spooky boi

    I actually kind of like this time because it let's me play a bit more as a survivor in the evening time without having a long queue time. I traditionally play a lot more killer than survivor just because of the time I play (if I had to guess, a 65/35 split; I am not purely a killer player but I certainly play more killer than survivor) so it's kind of nice to get a bit of a killer break.

    I've never heard of hackers bricking consoles.. I would just play with crossplay enabled. The wait time with it disabled sounds miserable. But if you insist on keeping it off, there should be far more people playing on the 16th, when the anniversary event starts

    Actually player count is up in May and over the last 30 days running about 8%.
