We have temporarily disabled The Houndmaster (Bone Chill Event queue) and Baermar Uraz's Ugly Sweater Cosmetic (all queues) due to issues affecting gameplay.

The Survivor Experience has suffered greatly as well

  • Queues are extremely long. Frequently forget I am waiting for a game and become absorbed in a book or video.
  • Killers camp, tunnel, and slug much more often. Not enjoyable to go against.
  • If the Killer does not do the above, the game is done very quickly. Easy escape, black pip, back to the queue.
  • Many Killers are not playing to win, quite a few are survivor mains doing a daily or rift challenge.
  • Due to matchmaking overwhelming you go against low ranked killer running something like 2 yellow perks.

    Don't forget to add that if you even try to solo Q you will be matched with 3 other people doing nothing the entire game.

    Even those 3 doing nothing is enough to ez escape so...

    First 3 gens get done so fast, killer almost always has to camp slug tunnel just to get few hooks/kills. I m struggling to get 4 bbq stacks most of my games which was never a problem before.

    While i play survivor i only lose when people dc or farm/troll. If survivors just want to do gens and leave its mostly few hooks and 1 or 0 kills.

    heck, I just got paired with 3 rank 1 players and 1 rank 5 while im rank 11.

    Now course, I did not play seriously, I have music on etc but yeah not a single hook or anything, does not inspire to play any more killer I tell you that much

    EDIT, doing some clown games, sole objective is throwing bottles at people, so far so good

    Played my first game last night after stopping for a few months. Naturally my rank reset back down to 14 but after nearly 12 minutes solo survivor queue I got into a match with a Nurse who didn't blink....So my first game after 12m of waiting was a snooze fest into a black pip while my 3 random teammates refused to leave and were just t-bagging/360ing the Nurse player. I was disgusted....

    I wish there was a way to put your rank on hold. I do not want to climb to red rank anymore. It's straight-up not fun. If I hit red ranks, I purposely depip from then on so that I can get back to purple. The queues are faster & the games are more fun.

    I've never played a game before in my life where there was a ranking system & I wanted to rank DOWN instead of up. If that doesn't sum up how broken the crap is, nothing does.
