Killers OP

Ok, so i am a survivor main. And I absolutely love this game. I’ve been playing for roughly 2 and a half years. But lately, I’ve been feeling like games as survivor just keep getting harder and harder.

I already know most people will just say the ole reliable “git gud” but I assure you I’m well aware about how to prioritize healing vs objective vs when to run vs hide. And I know how to loop, and get flashlight saves, and how to not get 3 gen’d. I have map awareness etc.

So let’s dive in. As a survivor main, I find the game to be way more exciting as survivor than killer. Which is why I play it more often. I don’t find killer to be as fun because of one simple reason.

ITS TOO EASY

I am a rank 1 killer and I often find myself getting back to back to back merciless victories vs red ranks. And the craziest part is, I’m doing this without Moris, noed, camping, or tunneling. I try to play as fair as possible when killer because I know how frustrating it is to be eliminated from the game immediately off your first hook. And yet, I still find myself effortlessly getting 4K.

The last few DLC’s have brought nothing but great killer perks and mediocre at best survivor perks. Built to Last? So you mean a generic version of Streetwise? Do these two perks even stack together? And if so why would I waste two perk slots just to have an item with extra charges when there’s a decent chance the killer brings franklins?

The only thing us helpless survivors have to defend ourselves with is pallet/vault loops and stealth. With certain killers, they have base powers that can easily counter pallet and vault loops (trapper, huntress, Freddy, doctor, hag, pyramid head). Not to mention perks (bamboozle, blood favor).

Everything survivors have to survive with has either been nerfed or there is an easy counter to it while survivors have literally no counter to a Mori. Many killers have 1 hit down abilities and yet we get the insta heals and Instant blinds taken away when the killer could’ve easily just brought lightborn or franklins or even just look at a wall when picking survivors up for that matter. The only time survivors actually stand a 50/50 chance of living is if at least 1 person dies and they’re in swf party of four. If you play solo, the actual agony of waiting 5+ minutes for a lobby just to get facecamped and get no bp when you throw up cake is getting too much to bare. It makes the game boring. It’s a strategy that takes zero skill. Everybody knows it but won’t admit it. I end up losing pips because I make one little mistake, or my game lags, or I get hit over a pallet after I threw it while the killer simultaneously somehow doesn’t even get stunned. And worst of all, I’m wasting my time with ridiculous que times all to have my game end before a single gen has even popped.

You can say run borrowed time and DS all you want but neither of those matter when he’s camping unless you have a squad of four to communicate with to take hits while you unhook. And even then, there’s a good chance you’re just doing a trade off at that point bc everyone has to heal. DS and borrowed time are not in any way overpowered considering it’s a wasted perk if killers just wouldn’t camp and tunnel. They can also just leave you slugged on the ground and wait for the timer to run out. That’s two wasted perks that the majority of ppl simultaneously run in their build. The only counter to camping hook is to gen rush. Oh but guess what, now you’re gonna lose a pip because you didn’t get any altruism or evader points. Killers also lose points for this cheap “playstyle” that they pretend is a legit strategy.

Sorry for the book, I just care about this game so much because it’s so unique and unlike anything I’ve ever played before and I dont want to see it go downhill. My point to all of this is, I have way more experience as a survivor and I still find killer to be entirely way too easy as a rank 1. I’m saying without using Moris and noed and facecamping and tunneling. I run thrilling tremors, and pop goes, so my perks actually encourage me to go find more survivors instead of sitting there taking the entire game basically hostage. It’s unfair and I’m worried ppl will soon stop playing bc they’re sick and tired of it as well as me.

There needs to be some kind of penalty for camping hook. For example, maybe a slower timer when the killers within 20 meters? Maybe something such as survivors getting at least a safety pip no matter what if they escape a trial so they won’t feel as obligated to make a hook save that’s clearly not manageable. Or maybe even change the emblem formula to equal overall contributions adding to your pip bar instead of each category needing attention. For example, if I get chased by the killer for a total of all five gens, do I really deserve to lose a pip all because I had nothing in benevelont or altruism? Staying alive and looping for five gens certainly isn’t easy and requires a lot of focus, skill, and luck. The pip progress bar needs to be more generalized, instead of specific category focused. If survivors could also get a green offering that would block mori for themselves and an ultra rare that would block everybody from getting morid, then at least it would be more balanced and fair in that aspect. This game is getting more and more killer sided.

I appreciate anybody who took the time to read this. It’s the only game I play, and I just want to have fun again on it, and make a difference in the community.
