Buff killers?
I don't think it's fair, or fun to only play, or vs hillbilly, nurse, spirit, and sometimes huntress, only because they're the only viable killers that can apply enough pressure to stop genrush.
Sure, you can play weaker killers for fun, but I know it's not fun to always loose. It's not fun to get looped for 2-3 gens either. Everyone hates nurse, but why? Because she is what a killer should be? A scary killer? She is only as good as the player, and she is the hardest to get good at, so can we make killers as strong as nurse? Not with blinks obviously, but that pressure that she can apply, maybe speed up all killers? Gens also need to be slower because my God, when that ruin gets found within that 1 minute, the survivors will genrush the hell out of you. Maybe we need to make gens 100 seconds instead of 80? Or maybe 120 seconds. If you get only great skill checks, you can get a gen done sooo much faster, maybe don't make killers addons reliant?

Right... Increase the gen time by 50% so Hillbilly, Nurse and Spirit mains can 4k at 5 gens every game. Sounds balanced.

That is why I said maybe 120 seconds. But gens really do need to be slowed down for other weaker killers.

120 seconds is a 50% increase which would be the end of dead by daylight. No human on earth would "actively" play survivor if generators took that long as it would allow any 0 hour killer to 4k without mindgames or any sort of strategy more often than not.
The developers used to say they're aiming for an average result of 2 deaths/2 escapes which is why dbd's current state is likely to be buffed towards survivors since most (good) killers 4k all the time.

map reworks and fixes will go a long way to helping weaker killers do better against good groups of survivors
as it stands though, you can succeed in high ranks with weaker killers, people just pretend that you can't to justify spamming nurse and spirit every game since those killers require little effort to win with. it can just get very difficult if you roll a strong blood lodge with wraith or get a dumb lery's spawn with bubba. that goes back to maps though, not the killers themselves
the only killers that i would say need tweaks are freddy (who's currently being reworked) and legion. bubba could use some QoL attention, but that's about it

Devs only balance around low ranks and dont care about how good a player is and wont balance around high ranks

Reworking maps would indirectly buff weaker killers.
I'd love to see weaker killers buffed to be more in par with Hillbilly but we all know that ain't gonna happen.

So why not nerf Hillbilly, Nurse, Spirit and Huntress? That would be more balanced than buffing every single killer - people would still play the top tier killers because it would be even easier to win. Your "suggestion" does nothing to remedy your outlined problem.

Ofc they need to do something about gen times. I can't down everyone so fast and still get gen rushed while I'm clearly the better player. Add swf comms on top of that. Yeah they should do something but as you see even from these comments the entilted crybaby survivors want it easy and they're already crying and their daddy devs will listen to them. It's a survivor sided game and that won't change.

LMFAO - if you were "clearly better the better player" you wouldnt be getting gen rushed and would actually be applying pressure to the gens. L2P, etc.

@SleepyWillo could you provide some rank 1 gameplay please? I mean, you can clearly chase 4 survivors at the same time and prevent them from rushing. I want to learn from you!

huntress (and billy to a lesser extent) have been getting steadily nerfed with each new map and huntress just got nerfed indirectly with macmillan maps getting more trees

Your "solution" makes zero goddamn sense! If you were to make all the good killers as weak as the weakest, then survivors would be even stronger!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe the solution is to buff weaker Killers but BHVR shits their pants at the thought of it. A few small buffs would make Pig top tier but they decided to nerf her again after a few QoL changes.

The solution is not to increase the time of generators (it is boring) but buff the weaker killers to adjust them to the meta game. Even include a secondary objective for the survivors and encourage them.

That was kind of my point... That doing a blanket buff/nerf across the board wont fix the issue. Either the top tier killers would be even more god-like or the bottom tier killers would get pushed even further down.

What about just a movement speed buff for the low tier killers? Just raise their ms by 1-5%
