Why all the killer hate?
First things first, I'm a survivor main, R12 currently. This may be a very unpopular opinion, but aren't all of these killers a little supernatural? If the answer is yes, wouldn't it stand to reason that they are going to be more powerful than a single, maybe even 2+, survivor(s)? So then, I think it would also stand to reason that someone/everyone is going to die. We, survivors, have perks to offset those powers. Killers have perks to counter our perks. I hate getting downed and being the first to die, sadly it happens to often in SWF as I'm typically the lower ranked player, but I feel like it's realistic (if that word can be used here) that the killer should win the majority of battles. I really don't think it should be 50/50. Anyhow, I'm starting to ramble. I have fun whether I escape or not, as long as I at least safety pip.
And as far as SWF is concerned, based on my experience, we do have an advantage, but I don't think it's as much as some like to think it is.

The SWF advantage requires they aren't overly-altruistic. In my personal experience, they usually insist on 4esc or 4k; they won't leave when they have the chance if just one of them is on the hook.
Our data show that only the highest-ranked SWF have much of an advantage, and even then it's not that large an advantage.

inb4 saying dev data is fake.

Well, knowing their track records.. It has been confirmed before that they've not given us the correct statistics.

Anyone who says voice comms isn't an advantage is a complete moron.

You mean the mistake they corrected?
The devs will never be able to win because nothing they say will satisfy certain people. Any data they share will be written off as not having enough context or meaningless because it includes this or doesn't include this. So I understand why they so rarely release data because it really solves nothing at all.

They have stats proving that it isn’t a huge advantage, only morons deny any possible truth.

They've not helped themselves by often doing average values by merging all platform's into a single statistics sheet and stuff like that.
Showing everyone the actual raw stuff would just confirm a lot of things that people have been talking about. Its not in their best interest to confirm the suspicions.

Define "huge". I don't argue semantics on the internet. As long as you admit it is an advantage you pass the moron test

Why all the survivor hate?
Same logic applies.

Showing off Raw data would also lead to a bunch of confusion. People will misinterprete things all the time. Interpreting stats isn't that easy actually. Especially in a game like DbD where so many things matters. It's true that merging platforms and showing off averages is not the best thing to do. Honestly I wouldn't even know what would be the best way to handle data actually considering how complex DbD as a game is. You have so many stuff to consider.

How could it not be an advantage? Realistically, there would be no way for the survivors to communicate in the manner that SWF does. Like you so eloquently put, to deny it's advantage is just blind.
