Killer is in an awful state
This game is so survivor sided its baffling. Sbmm made every single game a sweat fest where all the gens are done in 5 minutes, and most survivors run majority meta perks. There are no fun killer games anymore, you can go back to an old video and watch a killer play the game at an average play level, high ranks with little to no slowdown and the gens still take enough time for the killer to be capable of winning. Even coconut rts has experienced this, alot of his games are extremely difficult to the point where you have no time to do anything. Set up killers are done for without a whole slowdown build, anti loop killers fail because a mere miss of an attack will probably lose you a gen if you arent lucky. This game would highly benefit on how well the player does their objective rather than how fast, games shouldnt be 6 minutes long and people get to rank up. Gens should be 100 seconds instead of 80, totems should be actually hidden, alot of changes to how the game plays out are needed to get out of this awful meta. Plus survivors dont need anymore second chance perks, im tired of bt, dead hard and adrenaline on everyone for every single game. Killers that arent as good have no chance for a fun game with sbmm because if you are a good killer in general you can still get a high enough score to see alot of good survivors, but then you are probably going to lose because the character you picked isnt good enough to be able to win in that situation. All of the fun killers in my opinion at least are awful at high sbmm and it sucks because now everyone is going to play blight, wraith, and spirit. Im done for a few days, and i want this game to improve but it keeps going for the same meta.

Can you please split this in paragraphs?

People knew since before this SBMM system was implemented that the game had massive issues as the skill of both killers and survivors increased. Survivor has a much higher skill cap compared to most killers in the game, and when there's four of them on a decent (not necessarily strong) map, it's game over.
Not all killers are created equal and not all killers have built in mobility or map pressure. That's why you're seeing the same killers and perks, since people are tired of trying something new, getting three hooks, and watching four people leave out the exit gates.
A whole new system wasn't required to know this about the game, but low and behold, BVHR, out of touch as ever with their product, continue to bungle everything they attempt. Why? Arrogance, delusion, ignorance of how the game is played.. all of those could be reasons. If I had to guess though, I'd say they know and just don't care. It's about the bottom line now more than ever, and with no competition in sight and with how many licenses they've stacked up on, I'd say it's nearly impossible for another game to muscle into the genre. We're in trouble, fellas.

This post isn't even the worst offender of this, to be fair.

We need big balance changes, or frequent balance changes with minor but positive changes. The devs take way too long to change 1 perk or other thing that people have been asking for for 2+ years. The biggest thing for me is the loop RNG setups. You cannot have things like a jungle gym window facing killer shack window on Father Campbell's Chapel. You just can't. The fact that things like that are still in the game honestly still surprises me.

There is an absolute excess of hackers in the game right now. It's been insane how many I've been running into. I wonder how many of yall are writing it off as unbalanced when it's literally cheating.

When what is cheating? Sure there are hackers but thats not the point
1 -
the game is unbalanced on both sides, killers are becoming boring to play against, holding W meta, is anyone having fun?
0 -
Yeah SWF teams with decent players on coms are. Solo survivor and killer, not so much.

It boils down to killers like doctor who have powers that will eventually get them a hit guaranteed, alot of new killers are negating looping, so a core gameplay feature doesn't really matter anymore, just HOLD W and go to the corner of the map. Death slinger, clown, freddy, all examples of boring killers in where you need to drop pallets early and hold w, not fun to play and not fun to play against.

Is anyone having fun? Not really. BHVR needs to do something big, and fast. The meta needs to be spiced up and gameplay needs to become more innovative. This isn't TF2, this games players don't have an infinite interest in the exact same gameplay looped repeated ad infinitum.

very unlikely because people are still playing despite the changes we've listed above. Just saying for a DBD competitor to kick things into high gear. Hipsters will continue to praise it because they'll support anything because they want to worship the very soil that runs out the back end of the devs of a failed game.

Killer is not funny.
Survivor is toxic and disgusting.

Watch a tournament sometime. It's not cheating that is causing the problem.

We desperately need some real competition. Unless this game starts bleeding players BHVR isn't going to strive to fix the bugs or improve the core mechanics.

Omg, the game is survivor sided and all 5 gens can be done before 5 minutes what a surprise. I literally have never seen this before :O
I'm actually happy that MMR got into the game since now everyone can see how things really are and will stop with the "just apply pressure" because as every person with a little bit of awareness always knew, killer is unplayable on high level.

Is it bad that I love mmr just to watch streamers squirm after years of inflating their own egos? Just watching their humility gets me to feel things. Mostly schadenfreude. But you know, there is more to it than that. I enjoy watching them lose game after game and ending their streams early with the delusion that tomorrow will be a better day and ruin will magically return them to their former glory.

A lot has changed since I started to just take the Survivors information away. Run Hex: The Third Seal Hex: Undying Hex: Ruin, and Knock Out.
Then carefully plan when to hook. You're going to get all the survivors confused and running like chickens without heads. They can't find who's on the ground, they can't find where to unhook. Their perks to tell them where totems are - are not working. Should I run around the map to save a survivor? Should I run around the map to find someone slugged? Should I run around the map to find the totems? Whatever they choose to do, doing a gen is just going to waste time while your teams constantly dying and doing nothing.

What exactly does the screenshot have to do with the topic? The respective Survivor is not really toxic in the Postgame Chat either, they even apologize for the 4 man escape because they had bad games before. (If anything, Otz is salty)
And I want to bonk that guy who made the donation because their idea is horrible.
@Topic:
Just play like you normally would, eventually, you end up in more casual matches. Personally, I think those people who complain about sweaty matches are sweating themselves, but they relied on getting easy games with Rank-based Matchmaking.
And why do you complain about Meta-Perks? It is not like the game was full of Meme-Perks before, there has always been a Meta and the definition of a Meta is that it is the most commonly run and strong thing. And stacks of Slowdown-Perks or DS/DH/BT/whatever were also a thing before the Rank-based Matchmaking.
But Killers got very easy wins before, because the average Survivor is just not good. Now those people are irritated because they 90% Winrates, which they thought were fine (lol) are not possible anymore.

Watch me Beat the Snipers on 2fort with my bat for the thousandth time.

Look I don't like streamers either but you know what I like less? Not being able to play the game because I can't beat 4 good players who understand how to loop and hug corners and hug gens when I play pretty weak killers like Myers and Pig.
I can't magically lower my MMR by "Losing" if the devs don't tell us what losing is. And I'm not gonna suffer the inflated Egos of filthy survivor mains butt dancing because they looped a Myers on BadHam or some stupid map like that.
Did the devs fail to realize this game is falling apart at the seams? The one thing that really gets me is the loop geometry like they hug it and I can't get around it as fast as them because they don't have abrasive Hitboxes like killers do. That's why Nurse is Strong she doesn't have to hug loops and let you use them 3 times before you decide to drop the pallet and then run to the next loop.

Your post does not help on anything.
Both sides have toxic and good people, but trying to remark that one is more toxic just makes things even worse and incentivates more sides wars

Actually noticed that there's less and less people running DS. People still use BT and DH though as for unbreakable I would say you have a good chance of someone not having it.
