4vs1 game balance

Hey BHVR, how you doing?

First, some facts: I'm a main solo survivor who occasionally plays Killer (something like 60/40). I'm a rank 1 survivor but I'm pretty sure I don't belong to rank 1. I'm currently rank 6 killer but I already have been on killer's red ranks too.

Well, I really need to say something, it may hurt, but trust me, you better heard it. We don't need an obscure matchmaking system, we need a meaningful rank system. It makes no sense to create a matchmaking system that nobody understands if you can just rework current rank system and make it meaningful. You say current rank system means nothing. Of course it means nothing! I'm a red rank survivor who plays always against green/purple killers! I already have played 1k hrs and I still plays against newbie killers! And it is YOUR fault, not theirs neither mine!

Current gen speed is ridiculous! Killers have absolutelly NO power in this game! 4k vs 4 escapes are always a matter of efficient survivors or imersed useless blendettes. A team with 2 efficient survivors can make the trial run so fast that the killer has absolutelly no power! An early hook suicide is so powerfull that even the worst killer can 4k!

Please, stop caring about "m1ing gens isn't fun" and start caring about killers' fun! It is absolutelly useless having 4 entertained survivors and no killer. Your game is going to die if nobody plays killer.

P.s.: I'm sorry if my english isn't the best, I'm from Brazil. Hope DBD the best <3

    I'm in agreement with this. I main killer most of the time, but I've been playing less and less killer (only for rituals and challenges lately). If I'm not doing either then I'm probably not playing the game. I'm a casual player and I feel at this point Dead by Daylight is going to lose more killers. At least... I'm playing the game at a point where it feels really redundant. It's gotten so dull too. For a game that relies on killers to have matches more so than survivors it can easily destroy the game. Sure survivors are needed as well, but if I kill less and survive more I'm adding to the problem as well.

    I'd love to play more survivor, but lobbies take too long and I could be playing other games so the question arises... why should I play this game if the majority of the time I'm looking for matches? It can be fun, but waiting forever isn't my kind of fun either.

    Of course survivor queues are long, what is the point of playing killer if you know you are not going to have fun? If you know that playing well isn't enough? I don't really care about surviving, all I want is to have fun while playing, but I feel like the killer is going to be gen rushed if I loop him for more than 30 seconds. It is ridiculous! Also, adrenaline, ds and noed are absoluytelly trash! They encourage bad gameplay like camping and gen rushing. Why should I selfcare or get healed if I can genrush and DS the sh1t out of the killer if he dares stop me! Please BHVR, start caring about balance and everybody's fun! I freaking love this game :(
