Why so many threads about long queue times ?
The longer queue times is something you did to yourself.
You keep whining about any survivor perk that might be viable and tell the devs to nerf it (and they do).
So survivor are left with boring and bad perks making the game not enjoyable to play any longer.
So they either leave or change to playing killer themselves, making the queue time increase.
You yourself are the reason the queue times are longer, and getting worse.

agreed

Maybe cause the ones who talk about it are not the ones who asked for nerfs?
Y'know, casualties of war and all that.

So Survivors are weak and have no good perks anymore? Because they nerfed MoM (thank God they did it, it was broken af)? You know that there are still quite strong perks like Adrenaline, DH, DS, BT, BL you can use? And experienced Survivors are powerful, especially if it's swf. This has nothing to do with the queue times. Some play more killer because GF is out and they want to test him. Also this is because of the matchmaker they changed in spring (I really hate this new MM because lobbies take so long).
P. S. I have to admit that MoM is garbage now. They should have left the protection from insta downs.

Of course it has everything to do with queue times.
If there are no people in queue it takes longer to find a game.
Why are there long wait times ? One side is a lot less fun and makes less bp.

Then tell me your queue times.
Before the MM change (in spring):
Survivor (solo): 5s
Survivor (swf) : 30s
Killer (afternoon): 3min
Killer (evening/night) :5-10s
before 3.0:
Survivor (solo) : 30s
Survivor (swf) : 1-2min (depending if 2man or 4man)
Killer (afternoon) : 5min
Killer (evening/night) : 1-2 mins
After 3.0:
Survivor: same as above
Killer (afternoon) : 5-7min
Killer (evening/night) : 5 min
You know that chapter 12 is only a killer? So of cause some survivor mains will play more killer because there is no new survivor they can level.
If you are so focused on your made up facts you are probably a survivor main who whines about the loss of a crutch perk (MoM). Deal with it.

I mean, did they go a little overboard on the Mettle nerf? Yeah, but I imagine they're taking that back to the drawing board for a proper rework since it was pretty much a game winner from the menu. I can't think of anything else that really fits in with what you're saying though, the DS change is rather nice and I actually run it now.
Also, in regards to the Bad Perks, please define. Perks like Iron Will and Bond are fantastic, I've seen Unbreakable change games, Stake Out's a pretty decent perk, the list goes on. It seems like if what you're saying is true, then people are sleeping on a lot of perks just because they don't actively punish the killer for playing the game?
I've been enjoying Survivor more than ever with some of these off-meta perks.

Lists a lot of random numbers and tell others to focus on made up facts, hehe.
MoM is only part of the reason ppl dont play as much survivor anymore. You get more bp as killer, survivor havent gotten a good perk (and keep it) since 2016 now. The "fixed" sounds make it laughable easy to find survivor in game. The new lower sounds make the gameplay boring (in general). Lots and lots of reaasons.
And most of this happen at 3.0. Devs didnt make "matchmaking algorythm changes", survivors got bored and left.
Remember u need 4 surv for 1 killer in the game. Devs destroy the fun of the 4, u can play solo killer LOL. No wait u cant.

I mean, Deliverance is a very solid perk when used correctly, as is Dead Hard, so I don't think the "only 2016 perks were good" argument holds much water.
The BP situation is finicky because if Survivors got the same amount of BP on average as killer, what reason would I have to not just play Survivor and get BP faster on average? Especially since Survivors don't need to spend BP on things that are 100% guaranteed to go away after a game like Killers with their Addons.
I'll give you the volume issues.
You may have a point in 4 survivors for 1 killer, but if the scales tip too far to Survivor, things can easily get out of hand the opposite way. Even if Survivors remain the power role for the sake of keeping up numbers, there needs to be a balance so that Killers don't just give up and become Survivor mains, like what happened to me after Mettle of Man initially came out.

This is simply not true. Queue times have always been a bit on the long side for killers and back in 2018 the matchmaking system was changed to its current state that makes finding matches less intuitive. At peak we've had 70,000 players on at once and the vast majority of them are not killers. They are survivors, but the game slowly organizes players into trials. Rather than let a killer sit in a lobby and wait now it gathers the survivors and killers together in intervals. Which would be fine if the game were more stable and had dedicated survivors active.

@jeyers so you don't believe my numbers. Fine. I can live with that. But then I don't believe you either because you have no values you can show me and prove your point.
And your answer shows me that you are the meta-crutch-perk-user I believed you to be. 2016 the last good survivor perk? The old DS right? Then everything is said.
Concerning BP: you know that killer games (including waiting for lobbies) are at average a bit longer than a survivor game? And as Alther_Primus said, killers can't keep their add-ons whereas Survivors can.
And the sound issue (no music or global killer sounds) is a bug with the surround sound. Just turn it off.

I've found it pretty quick so far today (just a few minutes each time) and I'm playing with another friend. Some good killers too - having a lot of fun. I'm on PS4 in the UK.

What are my numbers ? what are you even talking about. Look around you. So many killers post about long queue times, its not just ME LOL.
DS is still ok, but just ok. nothing special about it any longer. So yeah 2016 was the last good perk release.
Killers still make more bp than survivor, not all are using add ons every game either. Much easier to get bp.
0 -
- Double Bp
- New Killer
- Double Bp extended
- Cakes are easier to get on a killer
- New killer got a few changes so everyone wants to see how he turned out
One perk got nerfed and vaults were changed slightly :/
I doubt that's the reason people are playing killer
If survivors got as much bp as killers I think there wouldn't be as many killers as right now. A WGLF buff could draw in more people into survivor. Maybe make it to where you heal a survivor you get a stack.

@jeyers yes, i talk about your queue times. what else? numbers of sweet rolls you lost? i play on PC, just to let you know, before you ask. and I can read, ok? i think @Boosted_Dwight made it quite clear what the reasons are most likely, and i think so too (f.e. i got 8 cakes on Nea i prestiged, but about 15 cakes on Legion and Spirit I both prestiged). I think we'll wait until 2nd july when the event ends. if queue times return to normal, then you are wrong, else we can talk about this again. until then i'll leave this thread, because discussing longer with you now isn't worth my time.

Ok bye cu later, but the 2nd is apex season 2 sooooo then this game wont matter much for some time (for me).
See that? dbd is getting old, if u enjoy it np but lets be real. survivors got so many good games coming now if devs dont fix survivor its good night.

@jeyers Normal queuetimes again. At least for me. So you were wrong.
0 -
I come back now after playing Apex season 2 for some weeks and the first top post i see are "killer queues are bad"
So...........
You were wrong. Nothing changed and the amount of survivor are dropping as i said.

I've seen exactly zilch in terms of evidence that the current issue is being caused by population imbalance. It started with the new matchmaking system.

Killer queue times are almost instant for me, it's probably going to be hell again after new Freddy arrives
