who is the power role? survivors or killers?
title.

On average? Killer - because ALL survivors get to red ranks regardless of their skill.
On the highest level of play (talking about korean 10k hour level of gameplay)? Survivors - not even close.

There is no power role, and there shouldn’t be one.
if talking about 1v1 the killer is the power role. It might take some time but in the end the killer would always win if the surv didn’t have a team.

Define power role, if you seek meaningful answers.

On average the Entity. That thing screws everyone over.

4 man SWFs

depends. If there is a 4man SWF sweat squad? then the survivors are the power role.
If anything else, eh. id say its balanced, assuming good matchmaking.

To me it will always be the killer. A skilled killer outside of some crappy map rng. Has control over how the match goes. They have power over if a survivor is going to get face camped into oblivion, they have the ability to bring a mori, and proxy camp the first survivor and insta delete and screw over at least one survivors day.
Sure a well coordinated swf death squad could topple the killer despite the killer having the power role. But just the fact that a survivor is always guaranteed to eventually get caught and killed by the killer in 1v1 scenarios without help is enough justification for me to say that it is the power role.
Now the power role doesn't mean they win every time, that would just be bad balance imo.
Now if the question is which is the stronger party, survivor or killer. I'd probably say a strong survivor group topples killers without moris. With Mori's the killer is the strongest. They are pretty even when it's average killer vs average survivors though.

Depends on the experience. The less experienced survivors are, killer. Even if the killer is less experienced, it's easier to tunnel somebody out of the match at five gens.
As experience grows, it swings over to survivors. Killers play on the survivor's time, where mistakes become much more punishing, where as survivors have multiple options to bandaid their own mistakes.

Power goes like this...
4 man swf -> 3 man swf + good random -> killer -> 2 man swf + 2 man swf -> 2 man swf + 2 randoms -> 4 solos

The killer is suppose to be the power role!
But survivors have way more of an advantage than killers in a 1v1 which makes them the power role.
It's 4v1, the killer should have the advantage and be more powerful in a 1v1. Survivors should be on par or stronger than the killer in a 4v1.
This is one of the reasons why I justify Spirit as balanced! She will always have the advantage in a 1v1, but when it's 4v1 she has to weigh her options or come up with a tactic

The killer does have the advantage in a 1v1. He can kill people.

Anybody who doesn’t say survivor hasn’t played killer at high ranks.

Killers at low rank survivors at high rank

Depends, Killer is the power role if the team doesn't have comms, survivors otherwise

Killer. Considering survivors cannot attack or remove a killer from the match it seems pretty ######### obvious to me which is the "power role." But this is a game that needs to be balanced so each role needs to have a chance at winning. And that's what upsets many people.

A 4 man SWF with equal hours and equal skill to the killer will always come out on top.
No matter what.
