Behaviour: You killed casual solo survivor gameplay

I've not had a single camping killer since the update dropped, most killers play for 8 hooks and then sacrifice. Reassurance will not do anything for the most part, it will just be a replacement for borrowed time in the old meta. A perk to ensure the killer doesn't do an unfun tactic.

If you're "casually" playing Killer and not having mental breakdowns then you are playing against some hella bad players.

Thanks bro, you got the idea, survivors played well too relaxed, this is the crucial point, if survs can "basically" bully you, and it's freakin hell to catch one, this mean surv are too strong and killer too weak.

But because it's been 6 years surv sided, survs think it was normal to play like this when killers were living hell. Now that survs actually need to play better without heavy assist, i will say it "survive" in a "survival" game, they complain. But the situation before this patch was everything but normal ! Yhere was times i just stoped playing for months because it was hell to play killer, fun was dead. But now, it's more balanced, it's very less frustrating and tilting. I still play casualy, but at least, it's fun. It's still not easy (sometimes it is), but the difficulty got down in a good way.

The fact is, survs are babysited by BHVR, mostly because they sell a tons of skin to them, this is the first time in 6 years they actually did something to actually balance the game, this word "balance" is important, killers didn't get "so much buffed", nonono.

And, as a guy said upper, the game is anyway harder for killer, it's 1v4 dudes !

Solo is still my most enjoyable survivor experience. I haven't found any of the changes to have made things more difficult. At best the devs slightly reduced the margin for errors.

I also wouldn't totally discount it as having no correlation to overall performance. Like I said, it's probably skewed toward above average player performance rather than overall but that doesn't mean it's not related considering the sample size.

I'm really glad these changes went through. I play both sides bit more on the killer side only because of que times back then.

Playing killer wasn't really fun at all, was stressful and you had to almost sweat every game just to have a chance. M1 killers didn't had a chance. DH made it all even worse.

Playing survivor despite the long que times Playing solo was super chill and most of the time you can just screw around and still get escapes.

Now the game more balanced than is ever been. Playing killer far less stressful and more chill. M1 killers have a better chance now and survivors now need to put in a bit more effort to escape.

It feels like every time people complain about casual survivor gameplay, it's always they can't easily escape without trying.

More like they wanna have a good time without getting tunneled, camped and slugged at 5 gens. I don't care about escaping if it was a fun game.

Yeah, most of my Survivor games have been pretty awful.

A lot of Killers understand that Survivors chase potential got massively nerfed and are taking full advantage of it.

A shame.

solo survivor is bad because of survivors themselves, allergic to gens and kindred, playing awfully and lacking game sense, simple as that. When the survs are good, solo q is not bad at all.

Bestie

Bruh, i can put whatever you want on table, killers main largely prefer waiting a little more and have fun, than waiting little and get humiliated.

Survs don't realize the abyss between the skillcap of killers and survs, when survs tells the killer to play better, the killer already play 4 times better than them, plus he loss 2 litters of water by sweating to get 1 surv.

Now, the skillcap got balanced, the killer still need to play better then survs, but now, survs are asked to play better by BHVR. You will sweat more, we will sweat less, deserved.

"first major killer buff in literally 6 years"

What are you even talking about?

Yo, guys and gals. Defending your bias is cool and all, and even though it would be nice if you considered the other side's point of view, but at least say things that are truthful and make sense.

To everyone else - this is the kind of killer main you can just ignore. They say untruthful things because they want their side to be more powerful rather than advocating for a balanced game for both sides.

Dude the exaggeration on these forums sometimes is insane.

People here are acting like killers were overbuffed so much, by adding 40 seconds on to every gen and reducing their hit recovery to 1,5 seconds.

Gens take 10 seconds longer now, and certain killer actions have had their time reduced by 10%. Not the type of changes that would completely shift a game's balance around.

There is no doubt that solo queue in particular needs improvement. For me, the obvious thing to do now is to finally nerf camping and tunneling properly. After that, the game would be in the best state it's ever been. Killers are more viable now simply by playing fair and skillful, but the cheap strategies like camping and tunneling would finally be less effective. It's exactly what the game needs, but sadly, BHVR only did the first part, and left out the second part.

On top of that, some solo information, like showing what survivor is being chased on the player icons, or generally just showing what action a survivor is performing, would also be fantastic. Though personally I do believe that nerfing camping and tunneling has the biggest priority for BHVR, as those are the worst strategies design wise I have ever seen in an online vs video game.

So I completely understand why some people are fed up with this game at the moment. I am a killer main but played the game much less, until now at least, with Wesker being such a fantastic killer, I am definitely going to play more. So I definitely want them to give survivors the improvements they need as well.

But saying that this game is now dead, and nobody is playing solo queue, is such an exaggeration, and I am not sure if that is going to help you make your point. And as many people as there are, that actually have fair complaints, I do sometimes feel that some people also complain about solo queue, even though they are most likely the problem. It's just always extremely hard to tell which is the case with someone who complains about solo queue.
