Survivor boring and one sided games

devotion 30 player playing since 2016

honestly feel like survivor is the most boring its ever been. no strong perk combos anymore. saves often feel meaningless. gens either fly or they don't move. very one sided games; either survivors easily win or killers stomp.

doesn't feel like "fun" from the survivor role anymore. you have to commit so hard to doing generators that there's often not much time for anything else. there's no catch-up mechanics for survivors whereas killers can snowball the game at any time. like survivors don't have a NOED or other op perk combo that lets them get ahead when they've fallen behind.

idk if others feel this way but i will say that i had a ton of fun playing 2v8. the games never felt like momentum just stopped and you were sitting around waiting to be killed. that's what so many 1v4 games feel like. it just feels like poor game design at this point, or poor game philosophy.

hope something changes in the future. but doubtful.

    That's pretty spot on. — And gawd, I hope it's not actually poor game philosophy cause in that case I suppose the chances of it changing is effectively zero.

    Things that you could do as survivor but were LUCKILY removed:

    → Fast vault window at any distance

    → Vault window in chase 3x while no breakable wall was close to it, meaning that there were god windows that killer had to vault 3x ti get a hit

    → You could instaheal yourself mid chase

    → YOu could insta pick up someone from dying state to healthy

    → You could heal yourself before killer broke the pallet

    → There was no hit registration when vaulting pallet or window, meaning that even when you were not already standing on the other side, it was a miss

    → You could bully Wraith with flashlight, giving him infinite stuns

    → You could burn Artist crow, Hag trap

    → You could sabo trappers traps

    → You could presabo hook, then just instaclick to delete it for 8min

    → You could use no stagger from balance landing to create infinite loops

    → You could recover from exhaustion while running

    → You could dead hard to get to window or pallet for free

    → You could work on gen or heal with 60s immunity while being unhooked

    → You could heal yourself from purple medkit 3x

    And so much more… so sorry if the game is not absolute survivor paradise for you anymore. A lot of balance been done to make game more fun for both sides while closing the gap between high and low lvl. The game is still pretty survivor sided and offer various mechanics to use and abuse.
