Killer wait time
How come at ALL hours of the day, you have to wait 5-10 to even find a lobby as killer? Like I never understood the issue... when will this be fixed because I get more killer rituals than survivors and I can’t even get them... oof

since I posted this I was waiting for literally 9 minutes and nothing. Love how you can’t play killers :(

Yep. It’s gotten to the point where I’ve been forced to play solo Survivor matches just to get some sort of gameplay out of the game. Takes me about 8-12 minutes to find matches at rank 13, and last month it took about 10-20 at rank 7 as a Killer.

Had a time where after GF dropped, waited 45 minutes for a survivor. 90 for a lobby.
Ded servers might help.

This is just a player ratio imbalance. There are just too many killers playing and not enough survivors.

People will play the side that's more attractive. It says atm that people are drawn to play killer which is a problem the devs will be monitoring.
They need to lure people to a side by giving them more points for the grind, making emblems reward how someone wishes to play, finding the perfect balance to make it less or more difficult and still be fun.

If it takes longer to find a match it could be due to your location or internet.

How can you not understand why you have to wait lol?
It takes 1killer and 4survivors. If there is 1killer and 0survivors you need to wait for survivors to que up.

The game requires 4 survivors to every 1 killer. Those ratios aren't being met.
It used to be that Killers could pick and choose their instant-lobbies, send a survivor back to a 10-30 minute queue whenever they wanted. No more. The game just wasn't built with longevity in mind for survivors.
When new chapters drop, both sides get new perks and a new map to play on. However, killers get an entirely new killer which (tentatively) has new mechanics and is a different gameplay experience. Sure, survivors get to face off against this new killer but for the most part new and exciting content beyond perks is lacking to keep survivors around long term.
I don't think much can be done beyond Dead by Daylight 2. Getting new content and playing as a new survivor should feel as exciting as playing a new killer. Each survivor should have had a unique passive or a perk that only they could equip or something like that.

The game is currently like this because Killer mains cry the loudest and get fun perks like MOM nerfed into the ground. Meanwhile, Nurse is still strongest and most boring killer to play against as a survivor. Hex ruin and NOED still remain the same. I'm not asking for a nerf on NOED. NOED is fun when playing as a killer. Take out ruin. It sucks. Ruin makes games longer with a bad and boring mini-game. Re-work Nurse so survivors can play some mini-game with the Nurse when she blinks. Notice how I suggest to make the game fun for both sides. Let's make the game fun, skill based, slightly killer sided (since they should be powerful and feared), and incentivize people to play survivor since the game has a 4 to 1 ratio

Being a survivor at the moment really sux. Blood points are easy to come by as a killer. I purposely play a de-pip game as a killer and STILL get more points than a try-hard survivor game.
