    Game is becoming killer sided, people don’t wanna deal with survivor

    Its often purely regional, but you should expect a small wait on both sides of the fence most times, it shows that the population is generally healthy and its trying to find you a balanced match.

    As great as it is to have instant queue scenarios, like evenings on some servers, where killer queues are instant and survivor queues can be 10+ mins, with grossly misbalanced games by back filling lobbies due to missing killers at certain MMRs, its a sign that population is pretty unbalanced at those times, which is not good overall.

    Ideally you'd want insta queues for both sides but what you are gonna see is ebb and flow based on time of day. I'd like to see killer queue times go up a bit during peak times because it means you're probably gonna get a survivor game quicker than once every 10-15 mins.

    Also its an elimination game, if survivor queue time was instant people would probably be a lot less pissy overall about being eliminated early. Waiting 10 mins for a 2 min game sucks, but nerfing the threat killers pose purely due to bad survivor queue times so they can live longer and have more game time sucks even more... and doesn't solve the issue of player bias in population numbers either in fact it makes it worse.

    Stronger killers who live up to the threatening theme of antagonist making them more enjoyable to play, will result in longer killer queue times but I'd take that even as a predominately killer player because its the game as it should be.

    My survivor games are instant all the time but whenever I play killer It takes me 5+ mins to find a match it's annoying.

    my killer queues are still 5 minutes+ and survivor instant at any time of the day, region EU west

    I mean it's cool to buff killers but you still need survivors to kill, they should probably listen what all solo Q players tell them
