This thread had me thinking, if the game only needs 20% of players to play Killer at any given time to have full games and wait times for survivors are taking this long, I wonder how many players are actually playing killer.
It wouldn't surprise me since I almost exclusively see people playing survivors on the twitch DBD game page. and the fact that Killer for me I could only play a few games of since it can be very draining sometimes where as survivor is less work and more re-playable.

That's the tricky part with asymmetrical games. You need 4 times the amount of Survivors than Killers so you need to make one side more appealing to play. The implementation of SWF was the best way for them to boost the Suruvivors playerbase and even out the 4:1 ratio.

They do, the problem is that queues are bugged.
How do killers have it so easy now? Just because the game is actually quite well balanced? Killer can still be way more stressful than survivor. I mean you don't really believe killer lobby times back then were long cause everybody played killer, yet now that survivors have to wait longer it must be a bug?
I was just messing with Master a bit
Lol well that's fair enough. We are in agreement that killers are no longer underpowered. At all.
Freddy would like to have a word with you
Yeah I meant in general. You know, the good killers. Huntress, Clown, Spirit, Hillbilly and so on. Freddy is underpowered, no doubt, in my opinion not as much as others say, but he needs a bit of help. Trapper and possibly Leatherface as well. Doc and Pig could also still use some small buffs.

I think killers are dodging lobbies because 4 survivors keep coming up at once, probably because the devs have sneaked the new matchmaking system in. It is muscle memory - a reflex. A bit like one of your survivor skill checks. Within a fraction of a second of 4 people popping up we hit leave.
Killers have to get used to the fact that it doesn't necessarily mean its a grief squad any more.

Jaws meant that killers who lobbydodge because 4 survivors spawn at the same time do it as a reflex action, like when you hit a skill check.
Jaws actually says that not every swf group is a death squad and killers should stop being afraid of them.3 -

Are you seriously comparing skill checks to lobby dodging? LMFAO 😂 I'm dead 💀 @fcc2014 @Vietfox
When the WHOOOOOOSH is real but you already called your squad for "back-up."
No , lobby dodging is weak and its hilarious you would compare it to a skill check because you do it so much
I don't lobby dodge, I don't see the point. i'm either gonna get my ass handed to me or do some ass kicking. I honestly don't care either way.

Same, and I've had some of the best matches against full 4 flashlight squads at times since it's especially satisfying when you kill all 4.

I lobby dodge for fun. I wait for the countdown to reach 6 seconds left and leave lobbies. I call it Last Second Dodging. Like it?1

Thanks bats , I wish more were like that. To me that's what makes this game fun is the challenge I don't see how some of these people have fun when they Dodge for forty minutes to find the weakest lobby possible and then just smear them instantly...rinse and repeat, I think I would've thrown the game out by now if that was how it wentI see it the same way. It's similar to Survivors MLGA blocking certain Killers or all the people that derank on purpose to avoid "tryhard".
In my opinion, tryhards are simply players that play the game optimally and therefore give me the biggest challenge and the best matches. It's exactly what I am looking for, I don't want easy games where I can mindlessly repair gens or kill survivors. I want matches where I have to use my brain to win.

I easily and regularly get destroyed by deranked 4-man SWFs. It is no fun. But anyone going for the weakest lobby possible? Then I agree with you.
Most of us want a balance. I don't care about getting a specific number of kills, I just want a game were the survivors are at my level. If they are SWF, then I'd like to see them below my level. If they are 4 solos, go ahead and give me players that are all above my skill level to remove MY advantage.

If they would just time ban the people dodging it would stop for the most part, then you're actually forced to face who's in front of you like it should be. If the ranking system got tweaked along with the time bans we would have a way better product with faster que times and faster games that matched you accordingly
Yes and the PC/console can monitor the pings. If they are mostly red, allow the lobby quit without penalty. Those killers that don't usually lobby dodge would also get a fairer ratio of solo players if everyone has to face SWFs.

I'm the same for those dodging killers the moment the game loads or that use MLGa on either side and hopefully they do start making queue penalties.
For all the ones that say they'd stop playing go ahead really because you're just ruining things as it is even when you know it's 4 solos.
The game could be killer favored and most would still dodge and blame it on swf even if there was a separate lobby for it they'd dodge or make excuses.

There are far more Survivors using MLGA to block Killers than there are Killers that frequently lobby dodge for "no reason".

So what am I making up, cmon now you made the claim now back it up, so time to put your proof where everyone can see it.
Also I never said there were more killers using MLGA than survivors now did I, but hey nice try or it would've had i actually claimed that.it would've been had I claimed that.

I'm not the one with lack of reading comprehension here, you posted that in response to me thus implying i said it and now you're backtracking and trying to deflect blame onto me.
The only one not putting relation here is you by trying to deflect and claim things then when called toss more blame.
Yet you fail to see the actual logic behind what I said still since some killers on here have stated quite clearly they'll dodge even solo players if they don't like the outfits, items etc.
So since some killers have stated they'd still have a reason to dodge that means that you guess it there would be dodging.
Now before you go trying to bash me again read what I said and realize I had facts behind what I said and I didn't make that up.

Maybe on PC but on any other platforms it's the other way around
Maybe, that's your experience. I rarely get dodged, doesn't matter if I play on PC or PS4.
I honestly see a lot more Survivors joining a lobby and leaving it again, mostly because they try to stream snipe their favourite streamer. That's technically exactly the same as Killers dodging lobbies.

Since there is no way to see the other survivors ping, the killer might have dodged because of the other survivors.
Either the long survivor queues are a matchmaking issue like the killer queues a month ago, or killers left and there are to many survivors.
Anyway, you could just switch sides and get instant lobbies.1 -

I'd say there are way more swf than before.
It really depends on the group. Most are potatoes and some are death squads. The later scared a lot of killers by deranking and bullying new killers.1 -

While true it's still the only real stat other than the survival rate at rank 1 to go off of and as far as the death squads we both know those are very rare comparatively. I've been destroyed more by competent solo players than death squad swf groups.
In all of my playtime i've never faced more than perhaps 50 true death squads and of those 50 I've only really gottne destroyed about 15 times. The other 35 times I either broek even aka 2 kills, got 3 or 4 kills or it took them a good 15+ minutes to escape with lots of hooks even 2nd ones.
But the competent solo players either 4 solo or 2 solo's have been much tougher overall that the mystical swat squads.

I played a few rounds of survivor last night(PS4) with very little trouble finding a lobby. 2 nights ago it was a different story. Lobby times for me had to be over 15 mins so i left and did something else.
