Killer queue times are insane

Since the release of the Ghoul, whenever I try to play killer, it takes 10-15 minutes to even queue in. If I try to play survivor, I find a match in under 30 seconds. Let me play killer 😭

    Well many people including me want to play ken - not that I'd play survivor otherwise, I almost always play killer, but still xD

    It's fine with me, I like to pour BP into new killers before I play them so I have a nice stockpile of items when I start. I'm happy to play surv and take advantage of the bonus until the novelty wears off. I'll play a ton of the Ghoul, but will wait until the madness passes.

    I wonder if making massive survivor perk changes would drive more engagement to the role in situations like these.

    It's not ALWAYS possible for survivors to come with killers. But how do we get more people to play survivor instead?

    This is the standard trend for paragraphs, especially ones with an actually good killer. Unfortunately.

    I mean, they could try a bigger BP-Bonus for Survivors if a single Killer releases. Because this happens all the time that the Killer queues are really, really long when a Killer only-Chapter releases, even more compared to regular Chapters. And I guess something like a 200% Bonus would bring enough people to play Survivor to farm some BPs to spend on the new Killer.

    You must be new enough where this is your first good killer release. Long queue times used to be the norm long ago. Just gives perspective to how players viewed the last few killers.
