    Game needs work but in terms of survivor vs killer its pretty balanced.

    Considering how there are "bully squads" and there are no limits to what perks can be used this game is very survivor sided. Most situations as survivor go in your favor with a cheeky dead hard or unbreakable. 4 perks vs 12 is not a fair situation, other than spirit of course

    Edited because i read my reply back and it was a bit salty and i didn't mean it to be. I blame the heat wave here. It's wrecked my nerves.


    I'll simply say as a player that has played more as killer, i do not agree.

    The game is mostly balanced, just not with extremely new players or a very skilled 4 man.

    For the most part, this game is Entity-sided. Because both sides get cocked a lot.

    This game is the most balanced it's ever been right now, but it still needs work.

    Killer perks are usually substantially stronger than survivor perks. There's also a lot more to game balance than perk strength.

    Pretty heavily geared towards survivors as long at they're decent. Out of the entire killer roster there's only like 4-5 that can stand a chance against a decent team.

    Better than before, but still not good.

    In all reality, the game is a lot more balanced than people give it credit for- that being said it's not perfect by any means and nowhere close to that in fact. Like any game, obviously it can and always could be improved: the discrepancy between the best killers and the worst ones is massive, much like the discrepancy between solo survivor and SWF, maps can always be improved to find a healthier balance between artistic vision / aesthetic and actual gameplay, and so on and so forth.

    Thats true, but the meta perks which most people use tend to overpower the killer, especially when there are more than one of the same perks. Plus alot of maps are not great for any average killer. In other words alot of killers are very map dependant. On console your hits wont happen because of a broken auto aim, its too laggy to actually play killer, and isnt a fun experience overall. If the survivors are smart (usually a swf) and spread out to do 3 gens at once while the killer chases the fourth the survivors will win alot of the time since there isnt alot the killer can do other than pop, ruin, and corrupt which arent enough still.
