New ideas or reworks get tossed out the window

When it comes too reworks or the mention of reworks; why do the devs completely or flat out ignore them? First it was buff too freddy, for almost a year we have asked them to buff him in some way, but theirs only been a handful of times the devs said anything about it and nothing more.
Then their was the rework to DS, they couldn't come to a balance of it so they didn't touch it.
and the closing of the hatch, again it was too unbalance and they didn't keep it, we even had test footage of it as well, but of course they left it in the dust once more.

It's just Why is it when where trying to get a major game change or wanting something in game, the Devs never seem to go for it or they flat out ignore it; It's like their trying there best to avoid any changes to the game whatsoever, and it kinda sucks.

I guess who ever wants second objectives in game or a new game mode; i doubt will ever see one, because of how enclosed the Dev are with their game..

    Why do devs ignore ideas from players?
    That's not true at all. They got some ideas from dbd players.
    As far asi know one was haunted grounds and the other one was STBFL.
    I think there are more, i just don't remember them.

    Devs have to balance around keeping killers interesting enough so players are actually willing to go through the chore of playing them, and keeping them weak enough so the majority of our players prefer to play survivor.

    Either this or they ######### up the matchmaking.

    Oh please dont be dramatic @Tsulan
    It's not a secret that i'm a survivor main, but i swear i'm way better as a killer than as a survivor, so it's not that bad, like, c'mon mate!

    I switched because I don't have time to wait 20 minutes for a match. I'm dramatic, because of Legion, or Freddy. Since there's no difference.

    But i've said that freddy, leatherdraws and other killers need a buff. The problem is that many people try to buff general stuff for killers instead of buffing the killers who really need it. Like, what would happen if we buffed general features for killer? Nurse, billy, clown, spirit, hag... They all do well enough with the current mechanics.

    Most killers need buffs. It's a shame that I only see the same killers on high ranks, because the others can't keep up. 
    Billy doesn't need a change.
    Nurse only needs to change the rarity of her addon that lets her see where she lands (to rare).

    I play mainly without addons to get a grip on the power of a killer. Most killers require certain addons to be played. Which I think is a mistake. Since the only valid killers are those which are good without addons.

    I'm pretty sure that one of the main reasons why people run the same killers at rank 1 on PC is because a lack of confidence.
    People has created the "culture" of "only viable killers at rank 1 are nurse and billy", but that's completely false.
    I've seen players running "non-top tier killer" like gods, especially the clown. (yeah we all know he's strong but people still don't consider him a top tier killer.)

    Played Freddy to rank 1. Doesn't mean he's strong or that it was fun.
    It's simply how hard I have to try, in comparison with more viable killers.

    My own unpopular opinion:
    All killers should be able to get 4K but should be A BIT easier for some of them and  A BIT more difficult for some others.
    Just like any game with different difficulties.
    Btw, i never mentioned that playing with a specific killer or even getting 4K at rank 1 should be a prove of how viable is the killer.
