Killers are honestly OP

like the title states, the killers really are op.

Now, I’m not saying I’m a god at the game so there’s no way I can possibly lose in a survivor match. Sometimes I win, and normally I lose. But I can tell when a game makes things way too one sided.

More than half the time I’m playing as a survivor, I’ll try to drop a pallet on a killer. More than half of those times, the killer will get stunned while also hitting me. One time, I dropped the pallet, animation and all, and the killer just slipped right through and hit me as if it never dropped. The range on their attacks is insane too. The animation is no where near me and I get hurt. They can be looking in the opposite direction from me when they swing, the weapon itself never touches me, and I get hit. When I jump through a window, their weapon never passes the seal, yet I can be a couple feet away and still get hit.

this doesn’t even mention the mobility of killers, I get the speed buff, that way they can actually catch up to the killers, but when they not only can catch up, but also have these movements so the survivors have no chance of slowing them down, it’s insane. Certain base abilities that come with certain killers make them op. The leather face killer can sprint forward, turning at a normal rate, swinging a few times before it ends. The Clown has the gas that not only makes you scream but also dazed you and slows you down. Legion can jump over pallets and jump through windows at the same speed as survivors while also having the extra speed to catch up to them and also doing bleed damage. Any killer that has a silent state but can come out of it in an instant and hit survivors (the wraith, the killer that can turn invisible with his bell, must wait a second as he turns visible with an audible tone, a balance). The hag, having 10 teleports that replenish as soon as one gets used. The oni, that can move at like triple the speed of survivors and one hit down them for nearly the entire game. Any killer who can get an exposed status in order to one hit down survivors (this can be fine if it wasn’t something that can be activated for more than half the game). The scream, where he can crouch and is silent, so he can just sit there, expose you, then immediately get you down. Michael Myers, who can simply stare at you and expose you, multiple times in a single match (had one who’s total time was 90% with exposed status effect for the game). The Doc, who can shock the area so at to find anyone with ease, with only a slow walk for a second.

like, come on, how can it ever be expected for survivors to win if they are only ever to be able to get hit one time the whole match. How can they win if they never see or hear the killer coming before they are suddenly hit and chased instantly. How can they be expected to win when the base abilities of killers make it nearly impossible to actually get anything done, even one generator, unless somehow one person distracts the killer long enough.

And I know some will say that you can go against these killers and win. Yes, but not once have I gone against a killer like this with rank 10 or higher, who loses. Maybe one person finds the hatch, but the gates are rarely opened, and that’s if the killer does it themselves.

and this isn’t even mentioning perks, where they can easily find survivors within seconds of hooking one or perks that give the exposed status effect.

I get that these are specialty killers and survivors can get perks to counter some of the perks that killers use. But with nothing to ever combat the over reaching advantage of killers, it’s never really fair. A simple balance, one where there are actual hindrances when something that can ultimately destroy just about any player, needs to be put In place. Take the nurse for example, when she uses her blink, whether she hits someone or not, she is forced to look at the ground and is slow for a couple of seconds, given it isn’t too hard to actually keep up with a survivor, she can easily find and start the chase again. But she can’t simply blink, take half a second before she can swing again, and immediately do it again. Way too often do I go into a game and don’t even want to play the match because, well, I don’t actually get to play the match. It isn’t because I happen to get targeted first, but because I know that the second the killer finds someone, they go down, and now there is even more of an advantage for the killer, because someone has to save the other survivor while the killer is possibly camping the hook and maybe the other survivors aren’t healing or trying to get to a generator. Yes, it takes some strategy to win as a survivor, I’m not denying that, but when no strategy works because you can’t combat the fact that a killer is completely invisible or has no terror radius, when the killer is more than double the speed of the survivor, when they have easily rechargeable abilities that result in one hit knock downs, when they can swing multiple times, meaning if they miss the first, all they really have to do is turn or keep moving a little forward to hit you, when the pallets or windows don’t seem to actually do much unless you already have a big lead on the killers, the game becomes pointless. It’s like trying to play a game of monopoly that your friend invited you over but you happen to be playing with the one kid who flips the game over when he starts to lose, but you take the chance that the kid wasn’t invited because you want to play with your friends, but the chance is still there that he will be there because the host invites him because if he didn’t the kid would cry to his mom and they’d sue for discrimination or some crap. Like, if the killers were ever actually balanced, the people who main them because it’s the easiest thing they’ve ever done would cry and say it’s too hard, so the devs would immediately put them back. It’s happened in just about every game I left for unbalanced pvp reasons. I just want to be able to get into a game with my friends without having to worry that the killer will immediately ruin the game for us. It’s a constant problem.
