I wanna play killer just for fun but it's impossible to find survs and I know it's a surv side game but at least devs fix that ffs. I mean it seems that killer mains are talking to a wall when they notice a issue (poor killer mains) It's boring only playing as surv

    For me it usually takes a few minutes to get a game but afterwards I won't have any long queues. 

    I don't mind waiting 5-10mins in the 1st game because I'm laughing at memes over  the Internet, np.

    Yeah, most of the time you need to wait only for the first game and then you won't have to wait more than a minute.

    Waiting for lobbies is no big problem. I just blare Eye of the Tiger and pump myself up for the next match and get a great work out! Richard Simmons take it away! Show me how to make my buns buuuurn! Whoo!

    I often go to bed since I still don't get a lobby.

    here is the real issue that you are not seeing . Its not that this is a survivor side game its actually just the opposite issue . If 50k players are online to play a 4v1 game and 25k of those are killers how many games are actually taking place vs how many stuck waiting . This is why survivors get ques so much faster right now .

    Every time they have a free to play/dbl bp event and a release of a new killer we have a huge influx of people trying to play killer . If you give it a few weeks it will start to level off a bit . also keep in mind that peak times are actually the worst time to try to play a killer in a killer heavy platform . Usually the off peak times are the easiest to get killer games and peak is the easiest to get survivor games . I know this sounds backwards but it takes 4 survivors and only 1 killer to start a match , so if 4x the amount of survivors isn't logged in then matches will take a lot of time for killers to get .

    sorry I didn't do the math for you , if 50k players were online and they were split killer and survivor equally . that means 6250 matches are gonna be played while 18750 killers are waiting for a que . this is just a example of how the math works out and why one side seems slower then the other ...

    Fortunately Xbox’s wait times for killer are almost instantaneous. Being a console peasant is finally paying off.

    I am so happy as killer on ps4 atm. I create a lobby and survivors pop up instantly. Never been like this before, so I am riding this wave and can play killer every match.

    Seeing my fave streamers on pc struggle though to get into matches, which is sad, but the guy above did the math, so it makes sense. But before this week, you could wait forever on ps4 too....
