The current state of the game as survivor on ps4
- 90% of the time there are long wait times, whether solo or swf. We’re talking 3-15 minutes.
- 50% of the time you finally get a game the killer quits
- 70% of the time you start a game the killer is running ruin and/or noed and/or bbq
- 80% of the time the killer camps and/or tunnels
- 30% of the time you encounter an in game glitch like going to run but staying crouched. Or disarming a trap but instead it making you walk into it.
- 50% of the time a teammate quits immediately or trolls or potatoes or sandbags or is otherwise useless or a hindrance
- At levels 1-5 75% of the time the killer is running some op addon like 1 hit hatchets or permanent ew3 etc
- 15% of the time the killer humps his totem and your teammates absolutely cant tolerate that so the team gets decimated going for the totem
- 30% of the time your teammates suck at saves. Either too early or too scared of taking a hit or prioritize doing a totem or finishing a gen they just started and let you hit struggle or die.
- 30% of the time your team doesnt know how to do a damn gen.
- 3% hatch standoff
- 10% of the time the game is really fun.
I’m a 2 account rank 1 every season. I’m good to very good but not great. I’m not a good looper. Numbers 1-4 are the real killer. Games can be mind numbingly repetitive.
I really hope that a completely new version of this game comes out sometime in the next year without all the flaws. At a minimum they need to separate swf and solo play so that we can better balance killers to survivors. In the meantime im looking for another game...

Camping and tunneling on PS4 is a ######### joke. Literally all ranks do it and yes, I am a rank 1 survivor every season as well. Like you said, most games play out the same - first person gets hooked, is camped or tunneled until they quit and then the killer just moves on, tunnels/camps the second and so forth. I play killer as well and cannot fathom how any killer can find any that type of behavior justified or fun. Mind numbing and boring as you said.

#3, #7, and #8 are plain stupid, learn to play. I can agree with the rest. #4 is way over the top though, less than 5% of the matches I’ve been in have either. It’s usually a killer daily when that happens.

Just play killer instead?3

Just play killer instead?Lol. I wish killer was as fun but it isnt. Theres no risk with killer. Ideally they fix the game. Its a great concept but the flaws are excessive.

What rank have you reached as killer?
Remember that you get instant lobbies as killer.3 -
Get a PC
Maybe dedicated servers can result in cross platform, that would be great. More people is always great!

Of course, there are long waiting times as a survivor. Nobody plays killer at the moment. As a killer, you get instant lobbies. And why doesn't anybody want to play killer? Because this game is unbalanced and survivor is easy mode.
Really, play killer for a while on highrank and then we can have a talk about camping, tunneling and op killer add-ons.
(BTW, your claim #7 isn't even remotely true.)

And now take a minute or two and think about the reasons of most of your points.

BBQ isn't that big of a deal, it's easy to dodge. Ruin is boring but also not a big deal. NOED can be lame depending on what the killer does with it, but also not a big deal.

I agree, killers on PS4 are horrible.
I am a rank 1 killer, i don't use Noed, i dom't even use Ruin. I win most of my games without tunneling the wounded guy who just got unhooked, the chases are fun for me, smacking some injured guy down is boring and no fun for me & the survivor.
Most people forget that gaming ( doesn't matter what game ) is for fun. I give the 4th guy the hatch most of the time, i don't care about 4K's as long as i had fun. Only toxic people, and people who i didn't even see the whole game because they probably did nothing or camped the hatch with 2 people alive don't get the hatch. This way i ensure my fun, as well as the fun of the people i play with. I think it's important, and i love that you get positive messages by playing positively.
If you are a survivor and you get hooked, camped, unhooked, immediately smacked down again, hooked again etc. and you don't like it, then it is extremely hypocritical to do it as a killer because you enjoy the salt.
If someone unhooks a guy while i'm near ( which i freaking hate when someone does that to me when i'm hooked ) then i go for the unhooker, because he is actively trying to farm someone for his own good, why would i punish the guy who gets farmed?
I can type ######### like this forever but let's just leave it here. All i know is that PS4 is a horrible experience at the moment, especially as a survivor. So all i want to do, and all i care about is that my fellow players get the same amount of fun out of the game as i have.5 -
In response to some posts:
As i said, i dont find killer to be fun. I dont disagree that it can be difficult. But its not as fun as trying to survive. Thats what i mean by no risk. The worst that happens is you dont kill everyone. And i completely disagree that people play survivor because its easier. I play it because its harder. I can die. Its harder to get points as survivor as well so where anyone gets off saying its easier is beyond me. Yes you get games faster but theyre games i dont care to play.
I know how to compensate for bbq. Its just used so frequently because its so strong that you basically have to do the bbq dance every game. Its a boring hassle. Same with Ruin. Yeah you either find it or work through it. But on ps4 the high ranks arent as good as on pc and they mostly dont work thru it. They run and look for it without small game and waste time. Noed just sucks. You can only counter that by doing all totems or not letting ypurself get hit. That perk will almost always net the killer a kill.
Anyhow i stand by my points. This game has way too many negatives for survivor on ps4. More ######### killers and more ######### survivors even at higher ranks. Killers will almost always run 1 or 2 of those perks, camp and tunnel and as a solo player without great teammates its a lot harder to have good games. The game balances killer to a swf team. And im solo 95% of the time.

Make killer easier then more people will want to play killer.
At the moment most people want to play survivor because it's less stressful

No #########. Theyre estimates based on my experience. Give or take 5-10%.

The term nothing happens, failing to kill some one isn't nothing its still failure same as dieing as a survivor can be viewed as it. Can't be displeasing the big boss entity now can we. However survivors are the ones with the most control, which is odd given killers were suppose to take the power role.
