due to the que time.Can I expect a really huge killer buff is in coming ?

Your 1-2 min Survivor lobbies don't mean ######### when it comes to Killer / Survivor relation, you realize that right? It's the long queue times that indicate a surplus of players queueing that role.

hopefully, after 4 years, the devs might be able to think about trying to give players the information on how many killers and survivors are playing, or at least implement a system that gives you expected queue times, so people who play both survivor and killer will tend to favor the side that's depopulated at the current time.

But an option like that seems too elegant for this game, so I doubt it will be implemented.

Ummmm, your post makes no sense.

You want a killer buff because killers get instance lobbies??? That just means more people are playing survivor. That has nothing to do with strength

This only happened after crossplay.

Before survivor queues were quicker on PC at least for myself in NA east. This could change depending on region and time of day for some.

Maybe its not about strength but why there are more of one side on specific platforms or in certain regions.

Console for one maybe just has more people playing with friends as they are more party orientated so gravitate to survivors.

im only playing at night (11pm-12pm), purple ranks both sides (i really dont play that much to achieve red ranks, maybe one hour every couple of days). Im getting lobbies in maximum 2-3 min as a survivor and 20 sec as a killer. Im on PC, EU.

Personally I think it's less of a balance issue and more of stress level issue.

When Ruin got changed all those killers that used to roll survivors at 5 gens suddenly had no early game slowdown anymore which made everything feel faster and less forgiving as killer.

Before the Ruin change people would literally run around like headless chickens looking for Ruin so games as killer were much more chill.

As a matter of fact a good killer will still do fine at this moment. However even if you 4k chances are the stress level was way too high throughout the match resulting in a decrease of motivation despite the successful match. Without motivation people stick to playing around 5 killer games before they switch another game.

Meanwhile survivor mains play the game all day long since the worst case is they'll die quickly but that's no big deal as no one cares about a dead survivor in a 4v1 game. It's not like killer where you are in the spotlight during the match and you HAVE to endure the complete match - even if you lose.

The developers need to find a way to keep the current balance similar while decreasing the early game stress level for killers. At least that's my opinion.

You realize killers get instant lobbies because there are too few of them, right? And survivors have waiting times because there is a surplus of them.

Then there are people like me, right. I am a survivor main, but play killer too. Usually. But me playing killer has dropped from about 35% of my games to under 10%. That means, in 25% of my games, i play survivor instead of killer. I am one survivor more, and one killer less.

And yes, i do it because of balance issues. i am not a good killer, and while i am a red rank survivor, i am only a rank 14-8 killer, yet, yesterday i played 3 games as killer, 2 of them vs all red ranks swf (i asked them, they confirmed it). Sure, the other team that only had 3 red ranks and were not swf still destroyed me. But it takes away any motivation from me to play killer. IF i am not alone, it might still be a balance issue, and then buffing killers is the right way.

They will never outright buff killers. Individual killers yes. But killers as a whole no. Because they have to protect survivors. Despite this being a horror game, survivors never have to fear a killer.

I'm not quite sure why this would make the Devs buff killers, especially if they are currently the dominant playerbase.

I've been saying this for ages. The fact is playing killer is extremely stressful and most of the time it gets unfun. But no one focuses on the killers fun they only focus on survivors and making it easier to enjoy that gameplay. However I do think some killers are in desperate need of a buff as competing with the survivors meta is sometimes out right impossible with some killers. Hopefully this new Start game collapse objective will help balance and stress levels. Personally I think as a survivor main the old ruin was fine. It high risk (especially with those crap totem placements) high reward. In other words how a hex perk probably should be.

Another PC Player have had near instant Queues for most of the last few years. On a bad day or bad time of night I might wait 2-3 min. Now its 10 min every match and most matches seem to be ending in DC. You talk about killer buffs, but it seems to only be an issue since the change. I might add I queue up as about 5 games. All queues were instant and I mostly played console players. I killed every person every game without exception unless I decided to let someone escape. Not only that but in each match they never got 1 more than 1 generator done and I'm in no way shape or form a good killer. I'm terrible normally I get looped all day. This whole idea of cross-play was ill conceived and probably not well implemented. Its literally ruined the PC version of the game for anyone that mains survivor.

were did you get those numbers, that only 20% of survivors are escaping? Can you prove it, plz?
