I re-watched the stream and read all the content. But somehow I missed the clarification of this point. Could someone enlighten me as to what this means exactly? Is this to enable Friendly Killers?

    friendly killer isnt an accepted playstyle

    accepted playstyle is things like hiding, gen defense, tunneling, softcamping

    So how do they plan to improve the accepted playstyles?

    I remember that moment, they mentioned it regarding the to long matchmaking times. I think its just a generic sentence that cant really be deeply analyzed. Theyre basically saying theyre still figuring out how matchmaking should work since people are not happy with the results of skill-based match making. I didnt get the impression that they have any specific change ready that would be announced any time soon.

    Remember during the perk loadout function they mentioned that now you can chose whether or not you want a casual or a sweaty game? As if my SoloQ build has any bearing whatsoever on what the killer will do? Unless they start taking perk strengths into consideration for matchmaking (AHAHAHAHA), I suspect it's just empty words that sounds nice but they don't mean anything.
