It's getting really hard to enjoy survivor

Pig is just rng the game

Bubba is okay though

Exactly, besides infectious nurse and stridor spirit, no killer feels unfair to go against. Yes, there are other killers that i don't love to go against, but if I'm having bad games as survivor it's usually me being annoyed at myself for looping bad or teammates that let me go into phase 2 before unhooking or stealth boys that really don't do much of anything.

Most solo matches as survivor aren’t really you being at a disadvantage it’s more just teammates making mistakes.

Most maps are survivor sided with only a few exceptions and survivor meta perks are stronger than killer meta perks

The only exception being nurse and spirit

I don't know, at the moment I think there is only Stridor Spirit or Nurse. Sometimes I see an Oni or GF in the red ranks. But everything else is really rare. 

Bubbas are my hate killer, because most of them have a really annoying play style and only very rarely there are some that don't slug, tunnel or even camp. Even on the high ranks they somehow get further and I wonder why?

But it's really not the killers that I'm upset about most of the time. My teammates suck so much sometimes. The worst are the Hatch campers who don't even try to save me from my first hook at the end. Even though I have Kindred with me and they can see exactly where the killer is. 

Or the people who farm you off the hook in front of the killer and don't take a hit. When is the feature coming that I can kick such people in the face as a survivor? 

When the MMR test was, it was better - I had really mostly good mates who have even heard of body blocking and safe hook rescue. xD

You still depip for suicides so it’s pretty much a loss

And yet, kill rates were reasonably high for all killers and pick rates for Hag, Bubba, and Pig were ~12% combined as of late 2020. Five-minute matches only happen if the killer seriously over-commits to a chase or can't get their first hook for quite a while. That or the survivors just get streamrolled.

How is it even possible for most maps to be survivor sided with a few exceptions? At that point the entire game is just survivor sided and the maps are mostly neutral lol

And yet, here are the ten most-played killers as of late 2020:

1. Pyramid Head (this was pre-nerf iirc, so he's probably a bit lower now)
2. Huntress
3. Doctor
4. Wraith
5. Trapper
6. Myers
7. Nurse
8. Spirit
9. Ghost Face
10. Billy

Many of these killers are ones that survivors really enjoy facing. Myers and Wraith, for example are usually favorites, and Nurse and Huntress are two of my personal favorites to play against. Notice the typical anti-fun boogeymen not on here: Hag, Freddy, Deathslinger. Notice also that all three of the killers from this post aren't even on here. If people are switching to strong killers and just sweating for wins, it's clearly not that many people. Compare it to the kill rate list:

1. Freddy
2. Pig
3. Bubba
4. Doctor
5. Spirit
6. Myers
7. Ghost Face
8. Hag
9. Trapper
10. Legion

Only half of the strongest killers by kill rate overlaps with the most-played killer list, including none of the top three. Given that there were 21 killers in the game as of those stats being released, this is no different than what you'd expect if you picked ten killers from the roster at random to make each list.

I don't know, I've heard people say that hate going against god nurses, but they're basically unicorns even at red rank. I like playing against her regardless of her skill, although if she's good and my teammates aren't I'm going to have a bad time.

Still, PH, Nurse, and Spirit are three of the ten. Myers, Wraith, and Billy are also on the list and survivors tend to love playing against them. It's hard to gauge the general community feeling about killers unless the feedback is very consistent, but I'd split things out this way:

Generally liked: Myers, Wraith, Billy

Mixed bag: Trapper, Ghost Face, Nurse, Huntress

Generally disliked: Pyramid Head, Doctor, Spirit

I don't see a trend here.

Kill rates reflect all match contexts. Maybe one killer is good at snowballing and gets fewer total hooks. Maybe one killer can't snowball well but is lethal in the 1v1 and thereby gets more hooks. Both are nonetheless performing reasonably well, because every killer in the game is performing reasonably well. No killer in the game is struggling to get kills at any rank. It's pretty dubious to look at these numbers and assume it's just NOED.

Objective time only favors survivors if the killer does not succeed in generating and maintaining pressure. At the start of the game, four survivors are doing gens. After the first chase but before the first hook, three survivors are still doing gens. From that point until the first survivor dies, unless if the killer is struggling to get downs, one survivor should be doing gens most of the time (one hooked, one saving, one getting chased, one on gens). When the first survivor dies, no survivors should be doing gens most of the time (one hooked, one saving, one getting chased). If the killer chases slowly or struggles to find a survivor this number can be higher, and if the killer is able to snowball into multiple slugs or hooks at once, this number can be lower.

With four survivors on gens, all gens can be done in 80 seconds + moving between gen / hiding / secondary objective time, time lost to killer perks like Ruin and Pop, etc.

With three survivors on gens, all gens can be done in around three minutes + " ".

With one survivor on gens, all gens can be done in around seven minutes + " ". This should be enough time to chase/hook/chase/hook until a survivor dies.

With no survivor on gens, GG.

It's clear from this that the time needed to secure the first hook is insanely important to the outcome of the match, as is the killer continuing to find survivors and chase well. If the match is ending in five minutes with a survivor win, that suggests that the killer was unable to get an early down or that they went through a long stretch during which they either couldn't find anyone or seriously over-committed to a chase. Even if survivors are playing 100% optimally (splitting up, sticking to gens, looping well, etc.) the killer is still to blame in 99% of cases if the match ends that quickly. The one notable exception would be a killer like Legion that isn't able to end chases with their power on a map with a good number of chain-able safe pallets, like the new Meat Plant.

Pick rates are going to mostly come down to who is the most fun to play. This is why killers like Huntress have such a high pick rate at all ranks despite not having a great kill rate. Some people are hyper competitive and have the most fun when they're winning as much as possible, but plenty of other people would just rather throw hatchets than sweat with Freddy or something.

That's fair, but there are plenty of factors biasing things in the other direction too. For example, every time a killer gives the last survivor the hatch that artificially deflates kill rate. At the end of the day, whether average kill rates would be 40% or 70% in NOED-less matches in which everyone tries their hardest, killers are clearly still able to get a reasonable amount of kills. That's all I'm getting at. As a result, survivors clearly either don't have as much control as some on the forum think, or the squads who play cleanly enough to actually seize that control are very rare.

With tracking powers and perks, killers should not have to search much. Once they get their first down they should be able to enter a loop of hook, BBQ/Thrilling, chase, repeat. Stealth just isn't a very effective option against most killers, and most killers are also strong enough in the chase that they don't require a survivor mistake to get reasonably quick downs.

I agree that killers would do worse on average if they had to three hook every survivor to remove them from the game, but in today's game they often don't.

Honestly, camping at 5 gens aside (which I've seen far too much of recently), skill based matchmaking cannot come back soon enough. The biggest problem in soloq is just completely useless teammates who cannot loop, don't work on gens and just spend half the match hiding. Beyond infuriating.

IT'S GETTING REALLY HARD TO ENJOY KILLER

I actually like going agasint Bubba's, the ones that actually like to get into chases and leave the hook. I rarely see Hag and Pig I dont mind, she a pretty basic killer. Freddy is pretty much the only killer right now i have beef with lol

Three gen god trapper build go brrrrrr

Not when he has to take corners very wide

Sure. My build is Discordance,Remember Me,Blood Warden, and Noed. I used to screw around one around and it proved very effective.

And here I am giving up immedaitely cause the first killer of the day I faced was a legion with ruin... Boring + boring stacked together? I'm out

Just out of curiosity, what do you like when facing a legion?
