Unpopular opinion: Survivor is easy

Assuming it's not bait (looks at OP's post count ----> it is), it's the player, not the role. This is a very sterile discussion. One could say, for example, that a killer main who thinks survivor mains are babies is in turn a baby himself/herself for the unfounded overgeneralization. See what I did there?

I agree that it is easier to play survivor than killer, but I don't agree that it is always easy. As a killer, you rely only on yourself, which might go well or not. As survivor, you have to rely on the team. Get a weak team (someone is afk for a time, they hide a lot in fear, they just want to farm instead of fixing, etc) and you are probably screwed.

Also, as a survivor you are on a gen, 95%, the killer is coming and you just leave the gen? Well, I see a lot of people doing it, afraid of a hit. I try to finish the gen, because if the killer hits me, I run off, then he/she kicks the gen, then tries to chase me, by the time I come back, it will be at 50% or less, so a lot of time is lost. I don't agree that there should be a punishment for survivors to do what they should. It's the same as the killer seeing someone approaching the hook and not going back or if they do, they would have a punishment. Would that be ok with a killer? I think not, so the survivor should not be punished for doing the gen too. Both are doing what their objective is.

This is not a controversial opinion. This is the intended design as stated by devs.

This I totally agree with. I play solo and not all teammates are created equal lol! I hate seeing people diss survivor mains all the time because they're a killer main, it just irks me when my team works hard against slugging and camping and then are told 'ez baby survivor' stuff by the killer to my teammates that brought unbreakable or DS, because they'd probably have the 'small pp build' (iconic name tho i kinda love it) if most matches went that way, too.

Its so painfully obvious you've never played survivor in your life. Sure, survivor is easier than killer because as a killer you have multiple killers to master while survivors are all the same, but it doesn't mean playing them is easy. If you don't know how to loop, you are going to be a massive detriment to the team, and looping takes a really long time to get good at. Not only do you need to spend a lot of time getting good at basic looping (Around 200 hours) but then you need to also master how to spend your time as efficiently as possible and how to counter certain killers like Billy or huntress or Nurse which is going to take even more time to get good against. Also forgot to mention that your going to have to spend even more time learning the structures on every single map and how to use them efficiently as well.

Inb4 "I have 3000 hours in the game and I've played survivor."

This. I agree wholeheartedly.

I agree with this, thank you for putting it into words.

I get so much anxiety when playing Killer, but exclusively Killer mains (and entitled Survivor mains) don't grasp how difficult it is to coordinate in SoloQ. I literally see OP's suggestions and I'm all "Jesus". Survivors already have a complex gameplay and I don't think adding more to it will make it any more enjoyable. There is no way to balance most of the points given.

As a Survivor or Killer, I only bring map offerings after I've gotten several matches in the same map in a row and I am tired of it or if I need to do a bloody challenge -- like falling off a great height while being chases because otherwise chances are I will get flat maps with nothing to use for it.

Adding more time to generator repairs by gathering tools to do so would only be balanced by reducing the number of generators that need to be repaired. Repairing already feels like an eternity to face Thanatophobia, Dying Light, Ruin, Pop Goes The Weasel and Tinkerer to make it even longer -- especially if these tools are consumed by use.

I don't t-bag Killers as a Survivor, but that cooldown is an exaggeration -- especially in critical moments when you have to be crouching back and forth for other reasons. I don't condone people that t-bag, it's tacky, I will give you that.

That last point is an absolute overkill. Survivors should not be punished for something like that.

It's your opinion, I respect it, but I wholly disagree with it. Both sides have their struggles, but I do recognise Killer has a more complex gameplay.

The objective really is easy as survivor. Fix 5 gens that take 80 seconds by default or even less if you use certain perks or toolboxes, open the gate and get out.

That's easy on paper especially considering this small task is shared amongst FOUR people but obviously it's still too difficult for most survivors considering how easy it is to 4k most of the time.

Survivor is easy af.

Its weird you think its an unpopular opinion. I, and many others, have been saying its easy since forever.

dude as someone who plays both sides equally I can say 1000% that survivor is waaaaay to focking easy, in-fact it makes it so damn boring, its supposed to be a damn horror game but its not scary because of how easy it is

Dude you sound like a yellow rank survivor. Face a level 1 Freddy or Spirit and get back to me on how it is way too easy to win and that there wasn't a 3k or 4k in the match. If you want a challenge get to high purple or red ranks and you will be facing plenty of killers who will make you eat your words.
