Is it possible to make the game more fun for survivors?
Whenever I was a powerful killer today the rank ~4s killed themselves or let me kill them. One rank 4 literally said they almost dc at the beginning because I was a Huntress with a insta-kill hatchet. Someone killed themselves when I was Spirit. People even let me knock them down freely when I was Legion. Is there a possible way to actually make survivors HAPPIER in a round?

Sometimes Im afk for 1-3 min, because I forget about kitchen or I get a call, and when I return to pc I find a few DCs because I picked a killer survivors dont like (they noticed the Pigs Jigsaw boxes or Plagues pools of devotion). Rank doesnt matter. Survivors will always dont like someting and find a reason to dc or suicide. Both sides will never be completely happy.

I agree with you on that one. Survivors will never be happy about killer perks and killers themselves, while killers will never be happy about all the support for survivors and their complaining.

To be perfectly fair (and this is coming from a killer main) if you're using a pretty strong addon like Iridescent Head, Fragrant tuft of Hair on Myers, Omega Blink Nurse when she was a thing, etc. It's not that surprising survivors will just say "nope". As fun as these addons are (and I've used them myself, especially permanent T3 Myers) they kind of skew the balance the other way, where killers have random games of crazy power spikes while regular games killers feel like they're running around with a handicap. It actually works against a lot of the balance complaints killers make on a routine basis.
The other problem is this just encourages survivors to suicide of DC. DC is a de-pip with a time penalty but letting you hook them and suiciding is cost-free minus one pip that they can easily get back next game.

It's sad. When the survivors have fun in a game, the killers don't. And when the killer have fun, the survivors don't. It really is like a never ending conflict.

I mean I have a perfectly good time with a 2k against good survivors that didn't bring 4 commodious toolboxes and finish the gens in 4 minutes. The crazy power spikes go both ways.
Addons in general really throw the game balance off, it's one of the biggest issues, along with map sizes. The problem is addons are how BHVR extends the blood point grind and thus, it's not going away.
What amazes is me is when I use a red addon that is hardly OP, in my case the iridescent button on Legion. It's hilarious that red rank survivors don't realize they should just wait for me to end frenzy instead of dropping every pallet in site for me to easily vault and destroy. Like really? The first time I do it you gotta know I got it right? Just stop dropping pallets and wait for me to either go to someone else or cancel frenzy to finish you off.

Troll or serious.
If serious, that is stupid

Sadly nothing needs to be done about what your asking. That is the product of survivor entitlement. Survivors see fit to give up instead of putting in effort to improve their gameplay because they are dealing with something that they don't wanna deal with.

Ugh see I hate ######### like this because those survivors are toxic as hell, should be reported and banned for that postgame chat for sure, and should never have DC'd- but that being said if they all killed themselves on hook I would not blame them nor would I call it entitlement. It can be selfish if someone else wants to play the game on that team, but I've never had a killer with an ebony mori exactly ease up on me after my teammates DC'd either; and both are strangers affecting my game.
Thing is you get people like the trolls of survivors in that game lashing out like it's his fault and it's ridiculous and takes any merit from the argument.

kinda see that the other way around, why put in effort in a game the killer saw fit to completely skew in their favor.
They went for the insta hatchet for an ez game, ok fine, get me, ill die, you get your ez 4k and I can move on to a game with a bit more balance so there is some actual challenge, everyone happy right?

Ah yes cause Iri Head + Infantry belt is fun.
Ah yes cause insta saw is fun
Ah yes cause infinite tier 3 Myers with Infectous, Spirit Fury, Enduring is fun.
Ah yes cause old Frank's mix tape + Cold Dirt was fun
Ah yes cause old Prayer Beads were fun.

True, but if you actually put in the effort to get better, than the match won't be skewed for example.,
Yeah infantry Belt + Iri is fun for me because she still has the same weaknesses
Yeah, instasaw is fun for me because it'll help me get better at going against Billy
Yeah, T3 Myers plus those perks is fun for me, because he can still be looped, and mind gamed
I was a heavy killer main around pre-nerfed Legion so I never got to expirence that legion
Yeah, Prayer Beads Spirit was extremely fun to go against until I got bored going against her, because it became too easy to predict her and track her while phasing because I was too consoious of my surroundings, and I could either hear her footsteps while phasing or the crows would alert me that she was nearby phasing.
Unlike you, I prefer killers that present a challenge to me, it feels rewarding to escape from them
