    Why that? :ohnoes:

    Just that everyone seems to hate Megs, and survivors hate Pigs.

    Don't worry about it. :) It's cool.

    If so which side do you feel is more op? I personally feel it's balanced enough if you are good at mind games when playing killer just because of the op combinations you can get on both sides. Each side has useless perks and each side has some that everyone on the opposite side hates. 

    I play both sides solo, but I play way more killer (I' a "killermain" ^^ )
    Survivor are to powerful.
    I am a mediocre survivor,playing solo in low to mid ranks and I still survive more often than not.
    Now imagine good survivor with high rank teammates and possible SWF voice com.
    That's what I meet every day, when I play killer.
    Overconfident, cocky survivor and they play that way, because they know they get away with it.

    I have like 3k hours on the game. Having played both sides. I honestly love killer. Obviously killing people is fun but it's very obvious in the way the game has changed. When I just start which is like a few months after game released. It was hard to play survivors. You really had to have your perks to survive. Even with them you probably lose.

    Over the course of the game. It is actually more and more relaxing to play survivor. Compared to playing killer. It's like babysitting 4 stubborn kids that are holding knives, while all you have is a pillow to stop them.

    It's a little ridiculous of a comparison but it's about there. Not saying survivors should drop dead but the game should more or less be like what it was at the start.

    Of course there were certain broken features like permanent sabotage....that was a nightmare to deal with and of course the counter to it which was infinite iron grasp or might as well be. Wiggle as much as you want and you still end up in the basement.

    So those needed fixing but somehow those fixes made it relaxing to play survivor in comparison to killer. The amount of focus you need to down a survivor and only for it to be gone with one tap of a space bar.

    ✋ play both equally.

    While survivor is usually more OP, it all boils down to how the game starts. If you can get a kill before before 2 gens are done, you have a 50/50 chance to snowball the game into your favor. That's at least how I view it.

    If the survivors are optimal, the chances are 30/70. 
    I’ve kept stats on this playing as survivor. 

    About 130 matches worth of data. 

    When the first person died with 4 or 5 gens remaining. The gates were never powered. 

    When thefirst perosn died with 3 gens remaining. The gates were powered twice. 

    When thenfirst perosn died with 2 gens remaining, it became 50/50. 

    1 gen remaining. 75%

    the magic number for gens is two remaining. That’s what I used to camp my way to rank only using Michael. Get that first person outta the way.

    I play both, a bit more killer, but I'm a regular survivor as well.

    The balance needs some tweaking in various departments, but I personally feel that the survivors have MUCH more ways to ruin the killers fun than vice versa.

    Plus, if a survivor is out, he's out, and can start a new game. Killer usually has to endure it till the very end when survivors are being toxic.

    Survivor.

    Killer is just too stressful for me at times, with survivor I can relax, have fun and still do well.

    I play both sides and I agree, it is pretty balanced on each side. I have lots of fun with both killer and survivor. I just think a lot of issues we face on both sides would be fixed with dedicated servers!

    I play Survivor when I want to chill, but I always really wanted to be a killer main. The fact that sometimes I'm too scared to play Killer just saddens me :/ Don't like risking myself going against Ochido clones

    I play both and I feel like it's more of a see-saw thing, depends on who you get. Sometimes you can get really good killers who make everything look op and broken, and some matches you can get toxic survivors that you can never catch and make your life hell. It's hard to gauge because it all depends on the player, how you play them, how you counter the other, what your good at, what they are good at and so on.

    Most times I regret playing killer cause even when ranking up I get people in low ranks acting like they are the new Ochido or Noob3 toxic surv, and some times when I play survivor I feel like the killer always know's were we are without tracking perks and so on. This game could always use tweaks but it's not black and white/ this side vs that.

    They need to fix the ranking a bit more and fix lag-switchers and speed-hackers cause the higher you go ie. rank 1-7 the more you see.

    Both are op
