What’s happened to dbd?

So as of ruin being reworked I’ve noticed a huge drop in killers as expected and everyone knows. But lately I’ve seen a bunch of purple-green and sometimes red rank killers and survivors that are horrible. Either the killer tunnels one person and gets one kill, camps very bad, loses survivors in plain sight, bad in general, and or is as boosted as a rank 20 doctor. There used to be good killers along with these bad ones but lately this is all I’ve seen. My teammates are as useless as the killer as in they can’t save my friend or me before finishing a gen that’s at 70% and I’m in second stage. They also never heal or do anything besides generators if that. No this isn’t all players but this is most for me. I’m sure there’s been tons of killers going to survivor which probably caused this problem, and the problem with purple ranks being paired with 16s. If u wanna know I’m a rank 7 survivor and 11 killer, anyone else having this problem? And what’s your opinion

    my opinion. the nerf to nurse .... the broken sounds as killer unable to hear sounds of downed survivors .... the fact the meta or game has become stale literally no reward or logical reason to play killer unless your a glutton for punishment and have masochist tendencies .... and want to subject yourself to that when survivor is the power role .... 300 to 500 plus hours you get bored as ######### ... and the change to ruin im sure didnt help matters. the path dbd is going down well speaks for itself.

    i actually used to like killer i got to rank 10 this was before all the changes and nurse nerf. i never bothered to go past that. why? because i dont want to sweat my balls or ass off and stress or frustrate myself. a game is meant to be fun not a chore of loop round the pallet at unmindgameable places. simple fact or logic is people got bored of because this game now has almost no viable killers besides a few which relies on survivors making mistakes .... rather than no matter what the killer does. also i never used ruin but dbd lacks more than one thing to do than just kick gens or try down and hook people and thats literally it. becomes repetitive and tedious after a while

    I'm still seeing plenty of different killers.

    I've been playing Bloodborne. And you know what? Despite that game being difficult and (that chalice dungeon with half health) being frustrating, I have never felt cheated when I lost a boss fight.

    DBD is draining and I question why any longtime player continues playing this game.

    Just played a game with rank 1 killer, all red rank survivors (rank 1,2,4) except a rank 20 survivor with one perk that missed ALL skill checks. That persons first game perhaps and got straight in to playing with pros. Idk what is happening anymore.
