Why does BHVR strive for a 60% kill rate?

    i would be interested in the source that says they are striving for 60% kill rate in the first place? (Not doubting you, genuinely interested)

    though to be fair, the killrates they are sometimes releasing are not the only statistics they use for balancing - they have explicitly stated that eg for Nurse they are aware that despite her low killrates she won’t get buffed as she is still one of the strongest killers and the low rate is due to her not being beginner friendly etc. Also, those numbers aren’t showing the full story, which the devs have better /more approximated access to - eg games with dcs aren’t counted (and in some cases dcs wouldn’t change the outcome whatsoever and therefore are neglected wrongly while in other cases they are game deciding)

    so I wouldn’t focus too much on a single number and I am pretty sure even if the devs said they are aiming for 60% killrate they will still consider other stuff such as general feedback, outliers such as nurse, rng/map/perk/etc influences etc
