Killer changes

I'm playing this game and everytime the thing that most ruins the experience for me is the speed of the killer.

It's un-believable how much faster they are.

Like... did you ever watch horror movies? Usually the only advantage the survivors have is speed over the killer. If survivors can't be faster than killers it's fine and understandable mechanically speaking. BUT AT LEAST Reduce the speed of the killer by 20% precent or less but a change that can balance it a little more please.

    If killers were slower than a survivor, they would literally never be able to catch up unless every killer had a teleport. Which would be repetetive and silly. And considering how much survivors hate fighting Nurse, I don't think this would go over well with the community.

    And yes, if you do the math, killers at base move at 115% of a survivor's sprint speed, so reducing them by 20% would make them slower than a survivor.

    And the killer in those movies always catches up.

    I am guessing you are new at the game making them move slower would ruin the balance of the game, when you get better you'll see that the speed is balanced.

    Hahaha wait you serious? The base movement speed of most killers is 110% and 115%. You want a 20% reduction in movement speed for killers - "AT LEAST"? 90-95% is slower than a floating nurse and 10-5% slower than survivors 😂


    You realize strong survivors can finish all generators in like 5 minutes and a good looper can distract the killer for up to 2+ minutes, don't you? And all survivors get 3 chances to survive which means killers need a total of 12 hooks to kill all 4 survivors.


    Now tell me how that's supposed to be possible if the killer moves like a turtle. You are OBVIOUSLY new to the game so take your time, learn the mechanics and how this game works and soon you will realize that killers actually need a speed buff - (almost) ALL OF THEM.

    No no!

    It's good that the killer is faster, I understand that in this game it wouldn't be balanced since he wouldn't be able to catch up to 4players.

    However I only meant the sprinting speed, I said for example " Hillbilly" is at %230 while survivors are at 115% while sprinting.

    I understand that the balance is good, also not all killers need that nerf, and every needs different kind of nerf.

    I will definitely listen to your guys' advice and thank you for responding! :D

    no killers need a nerf, survivors are still more powerful than killers

    Do me a favor. Play a few games with Nurse, without any perks that increase movement speed AND no blinking allowed. She moves slower than survivors sprinting, so in order to experience the speed of killers you want everyone to suffer through.. there's an easy way.
