Are the devs biased towards survivors?

survivors have had nothing but nerfs for years. You know they changed hook spawns 4 times, removed pallet loops, changed jungle gyms added bloodlust changed perks, more then just self care Mettle of Man and DS. Do you remember why we lost so many survivor streamers? Because they were forced into positions with no outplay. The game wasn't fun anymore no matter how good you were you were going to lose if even 1 person on your team wasn't bringing their A game. You had to have so much synergy that the game was impossible to play without a swf. They even gave killer the ability to close the hatch the end game collapse makes it to where survivors have no choice but to die especially with the door locations almost always being on the SAME wall or within walking distance of each other to camp both of them. One perk from killers gets nerfed and it all falls apart. If you have been here through all the patches you can talk about balance because the game has been balanced to help killers win game. I play enough killer (I play spirit btw) to know that until I hit around rank 8 every kill is easy every game is easy I don't have to think to play the match I can just phase pretend to phase counter every play that a survivor makes because I can force them into predictable patterns. I can down a whole team of survivors before 3 gens are done and a lot of the time I can if they do get 4 done make sure I force them to throw 3 gens to 1 side proxy those gens get free kills pop goes the wheezle the gen that is almost done chase a bit rinse repeat til there are no pallets and everyones on last hook. It's so easy to force survivors to play MY WAY. I don't have to worry about keeping them off all my gens.

Yes I play spirit and its kinda scumbaggy the way I play but if its a mechanic and part of the game then why would I change how I play if I don't have to.

I can tell you play against a lot of potato survivors and don't know how to loop. If you honestly think survivors have been consistently nerfed then that's just plain survivor bias. Most of the few nerfs survivors received were necessary because they had no counter play to them, where as killer nerfs already had counter play yet nerfs were rolled out anyway. Survivors have and always will have the most safe role. They have plenty of loops which don't even have any mind games (god loops) and still have quick gen times. The only way to "control" a match as a killer is if you make the survivors 3 gen themselves, otherwise you won't stop the gens from getting done (at least not with a low mobility killer). Most matches where the killer wins is due to incompetent survivors who run around doing nothing and can't dedicate to gens. At rank 1 as survivor the game is too bloody easy. Doesn't matter how much skill a killer has, if I'm at a safe loop he's not getting me until he makes me drop the pallet, and by then there's gonna be gens popping like crazy. Not to mention survivors still have toolboxes (with BNP's) and the ability for them to work together on a single gen. The games I lose are almost always due to teammates who don't save people off hook until they're in 2nd stage or are incapable for whatever reason of doing gens. But there's always hatch and keys, which give me free escapes. Bloodlust is literally useless 99% of the time because by the time a killer receives bloodlust, it's a sign that they've already wasted too much time on a single chase. DS needed to be nerfed, if you can't see that then I don't know what to say. Literally being incapable of putting people on hooks was unbalanced as hell. Anyone who had trouble playing survivor back then or now is just a complete potato, plain and simple. Looping still exists and always will.

... Yes, no. Basically both at the same time.

I play survivor at rank 1 too and often times entire teams go down in the game :) at rank 1

I also think that people really need to start reading patch notes and going through all the changes in the game removing the bug fixes aside from that. Balance and things added to the game are pretty heavy on the other side. Ive been a part of this community since july of 2016 I have seen every single change I have played since basically release BOTH sides. Balance updates have been almost always to fix survivors being too OP. Nerf after nerf map change after map change mechanic after mechanic. I have seen it all I have been here for it all, I am a veteran. I know what both sides feel like I know what it feels like to get absolutely dunked on by a survive with friends.

If you can give me some solid evidence of survivor buffs in more then just a handful of places you can win this argument. Legion almost killed the game if you remember correctly the analytics for the killer were insane I think we lost upwards of 10k players after the release of legion when people started to realize there was no counter play. Lobby dodge after lobby dodge when seeing that deep wound every match. Bring me solid proof my pattowan of buffs to survivors buffs that haven't been reverted buffs that are still consistent today.

Prove me wrong.

So if you look at the release of killers, they seem to start op and get nerfed. The probable reason for this is to get people to buy the DLC for the killer and play the killer. To answer your question, yes. Nobody wants to play horror-movie-bad-guy-kills-you simulation.

I think one problem is that is bad like deve take too much time to make correction to balance the game. Now is evident that there is a problem with the speed of the match. Killer can chase only a surv at time, that can loop him for many seconds at gyms, meawhile gens almost insta pop. The problem is more evident on big maps with strong loops, and against strong survivor team. The results are matchmaking probems (speking clear, most people doesnt want to play the fragile role, surv or killer depends on patchs, when the game is not well balanced, they want to play the strong role), and unfun build/playng style (endgame with noed, camping, mori). First hope devs fast reduce big size maps and good loops, nerf keys and mori, buff weakest killers and balance decisive. And doing something for match duration. If the game will be more fair both role we can se more beautiful balance matches with less unfair plays.
