Is Killer "Easy mode" now with the Sabo that BHVR did on Survivors (aka the update)
No more 360s
Survivor turning is F*cked
Movement is odd
HUD is distracting
Killer's hitting survivors from 5 feet away, around corners, through windows (hitboxes)
What is the killer experience out there?

Killer has been easy mode for a while now

Killer has usually been "easy mode" even before this update. If you are a good killer player, most survivors are easy to 4k. Killer is only difficult vs good runners, and good teams. If more people could loop on survivor, and made better choices, killer wouldn't be so easy.

It is mixed, I've had a few games were people have last second dead-harded my attacks so I doubt there was any lag in these instances (unless they were just smart and hitting the dead hard pre-emptively).
I've also had games where I absolutely crushed so I guess it's possible there was a de-sync issue which made survivors unable to dodge and evade like they could usually.

If you look at the banner on the top of your screen, you'll see these issues have already been brought up.

Eh depends on the map and the type of survivors. The game is an now an unfun experience due to all the pallates. The bus on Autohaven is buged so killers cant get through in one side. A part if clowns map in the center is the same as well. Oddly enough though i have also noticed at of hits being taken away from me. No DH and I am right behind the survivor. It plays a shorten lunge as if I did hit them but in turn I didn't.(wired conection around 30-40 ping)
The only time my kille games are difficult is against that top teir 1% SWF which happenes maybe once a day at most. A lot of my games though have been ending in 2ks though and for the most part those games were fairly challenging and having good survivors in them which is refreshing.

Um, any game is easy against bad players. In this game, if the survivor is bad, the killer will have an easy time, if the killer is bad, the survivors will have the easy time. Killer role is inherently more difficult due to the fact that it's one person against 4.

You could play killer yourself to know but the update is not great for killer either. The new HUD makes you lose important information and The Game now has like 30 pallets, all of which are safe and HAVE to be broken. The hitbox problem is weird, I haven't been getting any longer hits than usual with killer, in fact, I've missed some very close shots. It might be a strange server isssue that displays the killer further back than they actually are.

Yeah, I know.

Not really, I mean yes I have been hit a lot more as survivor with some "ok that hit?" moments but as killer I've had a fair amount of swings go right thru them and not register.

You know what is funny, suddenly when the experience is more stressful and harder for survivors, Killer queues got slower. What does that tell ya?
2 -
It's not the fact that things are more stressful or harder for survivor. It's that it's plain broken visually.

Absolutely not lol, survivors are still super strong when played right, nothing can beat that.

Breaking 360s is a feature of the patch, not a bug.

But you have hits hitting gens instead of survivors that would have hit before, pallets vacuuming killers up, etc....
Hud is WAY more of a problem for killers than survivors by far.
Hitboxes are broken, will be fixed- however it has not been a huge deal given the game still plays the same once you are aware of it. My group had a 28, 4 man escape streak after the update, and the new map is MASSIVELY survivor sided.
There are issues sure, but do not use this as an excuse to just ######### on killers especially for your own mistakes. If you are going to do that then just don't play at all.
(For real though, I just had a match as trapper where all but one hit was because they stepped in one of my traps that they did not get vacuumed into, it was short game and they whined that hitboxes is the only reason they lost that match with 4 gens remaining)

Survivors still hold all the power mechanically and yet bad survivors still make killers look strong. 360 were never good, just enhanced by frame drops and choppy movements, animation changes just smoothed out their appearance.
