Cross platform play has killed waiting times for only console plays

Is it just me but am i forced to only play with PC players with sensitivity enough to spiral 360 to generate lift off. If i opt out of cross platform play i end i up waiting 45 minutes for 4 man swf group. :u BHVR Ples do something dont make me choose between laggy, one sided games and waiting 45 minutes.

    I'm on ps4. When I had crossplay on I was waiting around 10 minutes for a match. I turned it off and I only wait a minute or two, killer or survivor.

    Thats all across the board my friend.. If PC players turn off crossplay; we sit for 20+ minutes and get the same people over and over again in matches. Queue times are pretty miserable right now.

    Uhh... doing g a 360 is easier on console...but well ignore that for now.


    If you dont want 30 min queues, dont turn off crossplay? Ya know, the thing that makes it so everyone can find quicker games and play more varying games and tactics?

    that's weird because as pc survivor my queues were from almost instant to usually not longer than pushing half aminute, while my killer queues were 5 to 15 minutes outside maybe 2 to 3 minutes during the day or using vpn in london (I'm usa) which also seemed to have faster pre-crossplay killer queues than usa for me in the late afternoons or at night as killer to the opposite after cross-play since most console players seem to hate being killer as much as I usually do. Now it's all been flip-turned upside-down.

    Even though my killer is now the instant queue, I only enjoyed it the first night until I ranked too fast with too few matches so I don't wanna play it any more after seeing for some reason I can't lose ranks on killer now I can only lose them on survivor any more (which is BAD as survivor now, but always been GOOD as killer for me). So between my roughly ten minute survivor queues, to be facing nothing but rank 3 and rank 4 killers any more often with at least one ######### teammate and more tunnel and slug than I'm used to, and not being able to derank as killer no matter how many dozen matches in a row I afk in the background at 0 pips I'm not having fun any more on Either side. I've never been tilted as survivor until now and usually had fun even on hard matches, but now I understand that's only because I could instantly get a new lobby afterwards and didn't waste ten minutes for whatever bs I endured once in a while.

    I don't mind longer PC survivor queues if that means I can actually play killer without waiting for 10 minutes

    The killer queues since cross play are super nice. From upwards of 7 minutes to actually instant.

    I just hope they incentivize more people to play killer (or whichever is the lesser played side if there's a large disparity) because survivor queues are pretty out of whack. Which I heard from another forum user they put out a survey about.

    Also in regards to your comment about spinning, I find that console players start flailing around like crazy way more than pc players when you get close as killer. Presumably because it's easier to do on controller and because it's easier to do it to console killers.

    I guess my 15 minute plus PC wait times just don't exist.

    Yea, I see way more 360's from console players and they're way better at it. I admit I'm getting spun a lot more than I did as a PC killer against only PC players.

    I have shorter wait times with cross play off but if you are having issue the Avengers beta is available this week to all platforms i believe. Take a break and give it a try.
