Why are the killers getting needed so bad?

Ok so in my opinion I think survivors are getting what they want. (killers getting nerfed plus moris getting nerfed) so why don’t we get what we want like key nerf and gen rush perks getting nerfed? I’m honestly gonna stop playing if survivors don’t get nerfed and I’m predicting that many other killers will leave too.

    poor queue times by the weekend lmfao, I might just go on my pc account for the first time in a while (been on ps5 the past few weeks) since it has the wraith with a lot of perks and addons, just so that I can be "unexpected wraith" again and noed at least two naive happy little kittens that thought theyw ere about to make it out the exit gate along with blood warden for the lulz. That was what I did when I got sick of too many troll with friend groups in too few a number of games on the truly bad nights for matchmaking to make somebody else miserable for a change. That way I still got my rift xp and didn't bore myself being completely afk, and got to drop a loaf in at least of a couple of folks' cheeriohs in most of those matches whent hey thought they'd had it easy.

    I never got more satisfaction from playing the killer than when I got to really screw with people. Those are the kind of people that'll still be willing to be killers next year. Most of your games will be spending about 20 minutes finding a lobby and then being screwed with by people that had enough of the shenanigans. Playing that way allowed me much satisfaction with almost no work put into the entire match at all, and by putting almost no work into the match, it provided more satisfaction in the end because of how i expected the people I got to feel afterwards. I still prefer survivor, and if not simply being 'toxic' will play Only survivor from now on, but if the queue times are too long I won't be one of the fools that goes "oh well, I guess I'll turn my system into a soup kitchen and do some volunteer work as a killer then". I'll either be 'toxic' as hell, or just playing a different game entirely. Hopefully Cyberpunk unless it turns out to be a Cyberbomb, which from what I've heard about it so far it won't be. An easy two months out of that game, and by then, maybe the dbd devs will have provided some more lulz or completely killed their game even.

    Bait is making a post with the intent to rile up the forums but people are saying poor bait because most bait at least tries to hide it's bias/provide arguments other than "if us then them" arguments.

    To your actual point, I've been playing for a little over a year and the way balance in DbD works is like a pendulum, it swings to one side and hovers there for a second before swinging back to the other. Just be patient the pendulum will swing back.

    One great way to help alleviate the stress of "they're nerfing my side" is to not have a side. Play both roles equally and you'll learn more and more to help you no matter which side you play. For me playing Killer made me a better Survivor and vice versa.

    As @JHondo suggests, play both sides. It'll make you better overall. If you've not played Survivor any, then as a Killer, you won't have much (or any) experience and knowledge of Survivor perks or play strategies, which, if you did, you can exploit and use against them to be a better Killer. The same goes for playing as Survivor to play against a variety of Killers (maybe even your preferred one) and learn how they play, and how you (as a Survivor) need to play against them, which exposes various weaknesses and strengths that you'll carry with you when you switch back to Killer. It's definitely beneficial.

    It also really helps with the us vs them mentality. Yes I am still slightly biased towards killer but by playing both sides I can identify and understand more balance issues from all angles and have a different perspective on things . Mains tend to think it's "if they adjust x how will it effect y" when in actuality it's "if they adjust x how will it effect y, z, and w"

    Exactly. Plus, sometimes, I don't want to have to sit up and lean forward in my chair all night hunting Survivors. Sometimes, I just wanna sit back and relax holding one button and occasionally clicking a second to repair gens lol.
