Is DBD in Killer or Survivors favor?

It's pretty balanced at the moment so from a totally non biased point of view, I'd say it's in favor of the somewhat intelligent and skilled players.

Both sides are very easy to play because most players lack these things.

I think it's heavily dependent on the map, but over-all, at least in my experience, I think it's in a good spot both killer and survivor. A good killer will wreck survivors and good survivors will wreck a killer. I think there's a few adjustments that need to be made like DS, totem placement, broken add-ons and some useless perks on both sides. Other than that, I'm pretty much enjoying this game.

this is a very hard question to answer actually, as the game, especially if you are new or just not that good of a player, will seem very killersided to you.
but the more you improve, this game will first seem balanced and then making a 180° turn from the beginning, to being very survivorsided.
the longer you play and the higher you get in rank, this issue will show itself more and more.
the simple problem is, imo, the map design, as survivors have all the tools they need in order to be literally untouchable for the killer. yet, this is very rare to see, as many people are not in that state atm.

Can somebody tell me how its surv baised?
Because im R2, and its horrible, every game is a 3k or a 4k.
Is it the SWF groups or platform?
And when do you count it win as a killer? For me its 3k.

Survivor favor.
As a survivor I dictate the pase of the game. I decide what gens to do, I can prevent 3 gen endgame.
I can chose to cleanse annoying totems or prevent noed from taking effect, so the killer plays with 3 Perks.
I can loop the killer and waste it's time. Thanks to DS, Unbreakable, SB, Adrenaline, DH, SC, safety deliverence, even if I misplay, (yes often the killer gets me by my hickups, rarely outplayed or nurse) I can medigate the consequences and reset the chase. You can even play happy camper sitting in the furthest locker and go for the hatch. Or with the key you say goodbye and gg as soon the hatch spawns.

And don't let me get starting to talk about playing the game with some friends. You can either goofe around or go tryhard and make killers cry. Powerrole pff.

As a killer I am so limited in my options to dictate the pase of the game. I have to rely on their mistakes or to play something that can surprise a survivor to get a hit in, play a power killer like nurse, hillbilly, jumpscare/tombstone Myers, Spirit.
As a killer I have no power over what the survivors are doing. I can control 3 survivors at max (the chased and hooked one, the one coming for the safe and the one distracting me/I am chasing new) unwise they play stupid, swarm the hook and blame me for "camping" (just maybe don't go all to the hook, take a hit and then try to unhook your friend before my nose...)
And don't start taking about the endgame as a killer, after all gens are done and the gates are open. Sometimes you wish that the survivors would just leave. Other times is fun pur, when they all die trying to safe the one hooked friend.

I am aware that 60% of the survivors die, but they die mostly trough own misplay.
5 skilled players at same level (4 survivors 1 killer) my money is on the survivors.

Survivor favor.
As a survivor I dictate the pase of the game. I can decide what gens get done and prevent the 3 gen endgame.
I can cleanse annoying totems and preventing NOED to take effect in the first place. So basically I decide that the killer only plays with 3 perks and I get some extra BP on top of it. (2 or less perks if he runs Ruin and someone spawns right next to it or it is right next to a gen)
Even if the killer finds me, I can loop, use pallets, break line of sight and reset bloodlust (even if the killer knows where I am, if I am not "visible" on his screen bloodlust goes down. SB helps to run away and if I misplay and get caught, I still can use DS. If I get slugged Unbreakable, Safety Deliverence is fun too, wait to unhook someone else and then you can just sit on top of the killer with no consequences for you. There are so many ways to reset the chase. As a survivor I even can decide when the game ends. All gens done, totems cleansed. Everyone off the hook. Every chest looted. Killer has no Franklin so you just wait at the gate for the last extra BP.
You can even win the game by doing almost nothing.
Just hide in the furthest locker and wait for the hatch to open and then go for it or take the key, and as soon the hatch spawns it's goodbye and gg.

The killer has to patrolling the gens, totems, hooks, chest, gates and hatch. If he can't down you fast enough, he just wastes time and lose points. As a killer I have to rely on their bad play.
If all players are equally in skill and level, survivors should win.

The killer has no perk similar to DH or DS.
Just think of a perk that would let you hit someone, after you would have missed, just a free hit. Or that you have an add-on that let's you blind survivors, so they don't see where to run, like a mindblast ability.
Or a mechanic that let's you deactivate certain gens for 180s unless they run a specific perk to counter it.

The new survivor should be able to break the hook after he goes off.
Just think of it. You as a killer did everything right.
You track down a survivor, chased him down, DH, hit again, pick him up, DS, chase him down again, put him on the hook. He gets off the hook because you are not a camper and are chasing someone else on the other side of the map, and now you lose a hook and have to start the chase again. But this time it gets easier for the survivor, because there is one less hook, so you slugging him in the end...just to find out he also runs Unbreakable.

Edit. I forget about playing with SWF. The game balance is out of the window. You get so much information, can run. specific perks to synergies and you decide if you just want to goofe around and have a fun time or go tryhard and make killers cry.
