Killers are not op, Survivors bad

Most complaints, from both sides, boil down to being out played or git gud. That doesn't mean the game is perfect, not by any stretch of the imagination.

It's honestly an issue with matchmaking and the type of games people are playing. Solo teams or casual, average SWF with like... 2 meta perks between the four of them going against a Killer with a full meta build killer on a Killer-sided map is r o u g h, just like playing a killer you barely touch on something like Haddonfield against an OoO sweat squad with a full meta perk build who are just better/more experienced at the game is rough.

Tbh though I do think Killers are in a pretty good spot overall. Imho a lot of Killer can hold their own against an average SWF, with their game depending more on their map and how well they play. (Obviously not OP by any means- I wouldn't call anything in this game necessarily OP at this point. Annoying or busted? (Second one generally being because of bugs?) Sure, but generally not OP.) Of course though, at the top percent of the game, Killer is definitely weaker.

I should also note too there's a bit of a split in the community which effects this mentality. It's something I've noticed the most here on the forums, but I see a lot of people trying to take this game as 'Super Competitive, have to get a 4k/4 man escape/an escape every match' game, and I've also seen people (Like me) who see this game as much more casual, and just sees it as a win if everyone had fun/something cool or funny happened in the match. (Like a stun on a Spirit mid-phase, or getting Mettle of Man to actually work.) Other games will split players off into queues like Casual vs Comp, where players with similar mindsets can play together. There's nothing like that in DBD, nor would it be feasible to do it. Because of that, it makes games even wilder, because you might get a killer who is doing whatever they can to try to get some Furitive Chase value versus a sweat squad who wants a 4 man escape, or you might be a memey SWF who are all doing random perk builds versus a Killer who will do anything for a 4k with a full meta build and nasty add-ons. With any and all seperation mostly being left to the community to try to push on each other (I've had people tell me that if I wanna play casually, I should play KYF, and on the otherside, Scims and Tournaments are held in KYF, so there's an argument for comp players to go over there.) it's just a big, jumbled mess of queues and misunderstandings about the game.

The builds that top tier killers force survivors to run are op against all the other killers. Which makes survivors seem op. The only logical solution is to bring all killers to the same tier.

But boosted survivor carry killer to red rank. I cant really measure that bc i have now too many hours in the game, but two years ago i got to red rank and i was not a really good killer.

I've always blamed matchmaking, there's quite a few really good solo surivor players out there but each game you get at least 1-2 potatoes who just sink your whole team as you can't force killer to chase you or stop them from tunneling the weak links.

If MM actually worked properly and put 4 good survivor vs 1 good killer in red ranks each time, we would see far more different kill rate statistics. Altough, there very likely isn't enough good survivors to be matched with equal amount of good killers. You'd need 4 times more good survivors then there is good killers consistently each game, very unlikely with how many potatoes there is.

It honestly can't be fixed in no ther way then survivor getting better at playing survivor, possibly increasing ranking up conditions significantly (putting most emphasis on escaping and not farming emblems) to force them to improve if they want to play in high ranks.
