Red rank: This is enough !

Okay, 1k hour played here, i have enough of this 3-4 red squads who just humiliate you for fun, and your fun as a killer is totaly dead, you always see the same perks again, and again and AGAIN ! Wort is, most of the time, it's not really the survivors who are good, but just the fact they are on vocal and get carried by their perks.

And you, as a killer who just want to have fun, be fair, you are here, tea bagged, click clicked, taking every DS even without actually tunneling, this survivors who dead hard right in your face, this is enough. I don't want to play a game who i am forced to anticipate every toxic things survivors do just to humiliate you.

i h.a.t.e s.q.u.a.d.s

Why ? Why do you force us, killers to play against them ? 90% of them are just toxic, ruining the mood and gamebreaking ! Even league of legends did something for this by cutting the rankeds queue for solo/duo and others. It force us to play our best killer, taking perks you don't really want, - even playing toxic without wanting it ! - but you take them because "this is going to be a nightmare if i don't take it" etc...oh, talking about perks, what's the point about having more and more in the game ?

There is 5 pages of perks ! But we are still blocked with 4 perks as a killer vs the cumulated 16 perks of the survivors, this is ALWAYS the same ones you see, the ones who ruin your games, the speed burst ones, dead hard, self care, borrow, unbreakable, hard will and finally, the infamous decisive strike.

BUUUUUUUUUT ! This is the perks of the killers who are nerfed, even the mori, while survs run nerf-free with this key and perks. Can we have a moment to talk about the HEX ? No because, this is clearly not a good risk-reward mechanic, this is just a risk-loss.

They are powerfull/fun BUT;

1- It take a very precious perk slot

2- Totems are, for a good amount, litteraly 2 meters from a gen W T F

3- Can be cleared without problem, easily, left clic and then done.

4- You lose your perks litteraly in game. Making a totem build ? cool ! - totems cleard - yay, i am nude, plus, it's just 30sec of the game.

5- Because it's certainly - too hard - to find them (lol) they are ignited AND make sound AND got luminosity.

At what moment, it's a good idea to take them ? The best is to not consider them as usual perks, put them in another category ! So, tou can take some of them without ruining your experience, the game is going to last a little longer, so you won't be tard gen rushed, and if you lose them "is okay". Just put an additional line of perks only for hex so it's going to add true added gameplay for both sides. It will force gen rushers to actually **play the game**, so, put them aside of usuals perks for god sake. This is a proposition, but do something about hex, this is - another - true problem of the game here. And the best way is to separate them from usual perks, there is no other good way to do it.

Also, i heard it is an horror game, this is true but the problem is...WHY IT IS THE KILLER WHO FEAR THE SURVIVORS ?! - at high ranks -

Because of high toxicity and squads, and you know whay squads are one of the biggest problem of balance ? THEY COMMUNICATE IN VOCAL, this is, basically the reason why at lowers ranks, you don't see many squads, but just usual solo players who actually fear the killer because the base game force the survivors to be isolated and make decisions knowing they are. Against a squad, they communicate, so there is no isolation, the basics advantages of the killer - the fear effects - are GONE, **the communication is the most powerful tools for survivors**

You HAVE to do something about this, and this is my proposition:

• Make 2 distinct trials who activate automatically, i'll explain;
• Survivors and killers launch the search game as usual, if there is no 3/4 players squads, nothing change for the both sides, it's ok.
• If there is a 3/4 squad survivors, the killer is alerted and, to rebalance the trial, obtain two more perks slots.

This is purely for balance AND fun, sure, this won't stop toxic behaviors, but, it rebalance the game by adding more fear factor for the killer who is disadvantaged against synchronized squads. For those who are going to cry "it's not fair blabla", do you even REALLY realize, as a killer, you absolutely can tell if you are against a squad or not ? The gameplay is absolutely different, more organized, more teamplay, the difficulty is too much with the little you have, plus, you are alone. The main reason why the squads can humiliate you is because of the unbalanced advantage who is the vocal communication. We can't counter this for obvious reasons, so, it is needed to balance the game and give killers more power to compensate - at least somewhat - this advantage.

Also, devs, it is obvious that the game is survivor sided, especially because you don't do anything to balance the trials against squads.

I will be also precising something, who should be obvious, but i know it's not for everybody, i am talking here about general behaviors seen at purple ranks and higher, the game is a way more balanced at lower ranks, green ranks are certainly the funnier for both sides by far, my best games with good mentality were green leveled because it's not try hard games. But what i said above is for all ranks anyway, because putting a system like this and only doing it for higher ranks will certainly incitate red ranks squads to derank. Also, the majority of the game is certainly not "top players based" so, useless to say l2p, the vast majority of players are not top players, logic, isn't it ? And anyway, i wan go R1 with my hag when i want, playing normaly and not toxic. So the question is not here.

Another ######### logic: Why the hell the end timer is slowed when end doors are open and there is a downed survivor ?! This is not logical, and it's absolutely unfair, or you choose to open the door as surv and accept the fact it's timed, or it's opened by the killer to trigger the timer to put pressure on survs, if you slow the timer for any reason, it's game breaking, survivors at this moment of the game already have the advantage, so WHY THE HELL give them MORE advantage by slowing the timer ?! Plus, it's overly used to troll the killer more than anything. The main problem of the game is, most of the actions done in the trials are killers punishing (hex perks, end timer, gen rush, loops) you know, running after a survivor for 3min because there is tons of vaults/pallets, because breaking a pallet break the bloodlust, but a survivor sliding on the same pallet can be infinite...)all of this is just unfair, not fun, and frustrating. And i didn't even talked about squads fleeing with the key, you know, it's so FUN to try tu put an endgame strategy as a killer like using bloodwarden well timed, and then poof, 1 key to flee them all ! it's one sided, and it easily explain why some killers go toxic.

The game naturally punish killers who rank up, this is a total non-sense, so, or you put a system like i said above, or, other idea, killers can unlock aditional perks slots, one more at purple rank, and a second one at red rank. But HEX needs to be completely reworked anyway. At least, it motivate us to keep our rank and tolerate to play against your heavily toxic players.

Oh also, go put a MMR different with each killer, because i don't have the same level on my hag and any others you know ? But it seems you are making it, i wonder more why it's not already in the game tho, it's logic ffs.

In conclusion +bonus;

• Rework the HEX perks, do what you want but put them out of usual perks.
• Give killers more powers against squads OR offer them perks slots with higher ranks.
• Do a true and well done Ranking per killer.
• Delete the end game timer slow.
• Nerf the key, can be used to flee for himself, not multiple survivors.

Red ranks squads can go to hell, you are the worst part of this community, and i perfectly know you are proud of it. Oh, i forgot; i will not take the defense of true toxic killers. My post is in prior a frustration and anger about obvious game balance, and the devs seems to not want to do something about it, anyway.

For my part, and right now, i go derank and go green till nothing change. At least, i will have fun, less toxic games, can play killers i just can't play high rank because i get humiliated (loosing is something, getting volountary humiliated is an other) and certainly being less insulted, it's a win-win.
