Does playing killer pass a cost/benefit analysis ?
Do you realise why you are waiting so long to get a game as a survivor ? And then when you get matched with a killer who is a green/purple rank vs your red ranks. Cause there are a lack of people who want to play killer.
Yes survivors have their side of bullshit they have to deal with, never the less I believe the cost/benefit of playing killer is much worse compared to survivor, and when people see something is a bad deal they tend to walk away.
Some reasons why playing Killer is a bad deal....
1) The survivor rule book, Yes it's everyone favourite meme, the rule book made by survivors where they are free to pretty much do what ever they want as they attempt to help their side yet killers are expected, no.......DEMANDED they play in a much more restrictive way ( a way which heavily favours the survivor side of course), and if you violate these imagined rules where said survivors are judge, jury and executioner, you will be told how your worse than Hitler and should #########. And who doesn't love playing against a stack deck of made up rules eh ?
2) Swf's, good players just became more powerful as a group (the whole been more than the sum of it's part thing) and Swf's on comms is just flat out cheating. And if your going to get toxicity from survivors it will be worse in a SWF since again they seem to feel more embolden when in a group.
3) Keys, Nice game we have going on here, 1 gen, 3 survivors left, maybe as killer you have come back from a bad start and worked your way into a possible winning position ? oh sorry, some one has a key, game over, bye Felicia, why reward effort when you can punish it eh ?
4) Lower margin of error for killer, made a mistake at the start as killer ? 3 gens popped and you just got your first hook ? you have an uphill battle, make another small mistake ? game is already over. Make a mistake as survivor at the start, just laugh at what a silly billy you are as gens get done and you come off the hook with d/s, bt with some body blocks throw in. Hey I think that Dwelf has a key....
Note: My experience is based playing in Australia as a Billy main without using mori's.
Since I am of the view it takes more effort to play billy than a basic m1 killer eg doctor, This effects how I see the cost/benefit ratio of playing killer, or more exactly how it's becoming less and less worth it to play killer.
Well if you don't like playing killer as much why not play more survivor more ? fine then, let me queue up for a survivor game then...................ahhhh frack.

Killer is so ######### at the moment, I don't even care if my survivor ques have a 15 minute period inbetween those 4 minute games.

I have sent many groups in a row back to the lobby because they refuse to ready up with 16 seconds left to go. Even when i spam the ready up to let them know i want them to ready up. At 16 seconds they got back to waiting another 15 min. I will not be switched upon in the last second. So many try it still. I am not an idiot. I could care less about their waits. That is not my concern. They should try killer if they are sick of waiting.

I agree. Still playing a lot of killer, but the fact that I have to play so damn sweaty to get any headway is nonsense. When you can literally play survivor and be half asleep. I feel like it should be the other way around, if anything. On the plus side, playing sweaty has allowed me to remind survivors - killers didn't need ruin to win. We needed it to play nice. Now we don't play nice; and if I see survivors with keys or toolboxes, I slug them and let them all bleed out.
(they don't go back to the lobby if you dodge them before the loading screen)

Yeah, its just not worth it to play killer right now. For awhile it seemed like the devs where finally going in the right direction with the freddy rework and other nice QoL buffs...and then suddenly they switched course and just started nerfing everything killer. Its really ridiculous and disheartning, I want this game to be good, but I haven't played for months now because of all of this.

I can play this game in short bursts. If I go more than 3 or 4 games as a killer I begin to feel a little bit of stress. It’s not the “good stress” that pushes you to do better, but the whole “oh god why am I doing this again” type.
This, of course, can be great deal shorter if I get some very bad games. I am thankful I lurk in the mid ranks these days... not that it honestly matters. I still get red rank survivors.
