I Feel Like I've Hit A Wall As Killer
Is this a common thing? For a long time I've enjoyed playing killer but it feels like I've hit some sort of level up wall in the matchmaking where I am just consistently frustrated and outclassed by survivors pretty often. I really am at a loss about how to improve my own play and between this and the long killer wait times, I just find myself either playing survivor or not playing at all right now.

pretty much. Its pretty well known that generally the game is killer sided in low MMR, and survivor sided at high MMR. This means that as killer you generally reach a point where you get consistently paired with groups that are of equal or higher skill, which lets the system do its job and keep people within ranges based on how they can adapt. The same kindof applies for the survivors as well, since high MMR as killer is only really sustainable to the ones who can do well consistently in spite of it. Thats also why there tends to be a lot less variety at that level, as well as being more able to rely on teammates as survivor.
This is all assuming that the matchmaking in question hasn't been altered due to either time waiting or premade groups, though.

Perhaps try a new killer and work your way up again?

I honestly am going through the same thing.
Killer is just boring at high levels because I feel like you have to learn a specific killer just to have a chance at winning most of your games.
Then you also have the randomness of maps which honestly I think we should have a choice to choose what maps we want to avoid and play on to give a direct slap in the face to BHVR saying "hey this map sucks"

I actually rotate through most of the killers. I'm not sure how much difference it really makes after a certain point.

There is a point where a killer player is not likely to win with certain M1 killers. Doesn't stop me from playing M1 killers (I love playing with most of the roster). But there is a truth there.
Playing as Nurse all the time is so much worse for my enjoyment and take it as a challenge to win with the lower tier killers.

Nurse might actually be my worst killer. Other people make it look like the God of death and I make it look like a monkey riding a tricycle lol.

You deal with it better than me. I just push through the frustration. When people don't really care about killer's issues, this is what happens. You go out there, play your best, commit a few miniscule human errors, and lose the whole thing.
Best thing I can suggest is play the killer that either feels good to play or feels like you can win with them. I'm not doing Hag or Oni anymore, because I can barely hit people; they loop too good. Next for me is Artist and Blight, because despite frustrating losses with them, they're the last ones I feel I have a good chance of winning with.
Perks? Run what you know you can get away with. A lot of killers use Pop, Ruin, Overcharge, Call Of Brine. I think those perks are all awful, but you do you. I can't get away with anything, so I go for the guaranteed stuff like Deadlock and No Way Out, just something, ANYTHING, to slow the game down so I have time to play. But you know? It's still not enough.
I don't think people realize how important the potential to get a 4k is. They still don't get it. "You just want fReE 4ks!" Nope, just a chance at one. If the exits were powered and I got 3 kills, the survivors 100% had potential that match to get everyone out the gates, not just 1. Now take that and apply it to the killer side, and unfortunately it just doesn't work like that. If you let the survivors unhook the person at the end, that's it, they're all out. But if you go down as survivor, unless the killer wants to commit to just killing you, they're gonna slug which gives you the chance to get picked up OR pick yourself up. Using just this 1 example, I feel that survivors have way more potential to save themselves from a loss. You're only dead when you're dead. If the killer downs you 4-5 times during a match, that doesn't automatically mean 3 hooks and you're out.
This recent streak of giving survivors free stuff has gotta stop. It's taking an already oppressed role and making it worse. Think for a moment about what happens when the killer isn't Nurse or Blight, isn't running 3-4 meta perks, and isn't going against 1 awesome survivor with 3 baby teammates. That's the game state we deal with if we want to liven up killer by not playing same killer/same build every single time. Everything bad that could happen in a match will happen. So on top of all that, survivors are getting free BT, Haste, AND Unbreakable. You're not gonna find yourself getting around that wall anytime soon.

That's aimdressing.I would recommend watching a few videos on youtube. Otz, PainReliever, just to name a few. They both helped me a ton with the small things in particular.

You finally hit the purple rank wall that's what it was when I hit it. It happens to almost every killer. I would say watch a couple of videos and keep going.

I had the same problem a long time ago and what helped me improve a ton was playing killer without perks. On the old days of the emblem system I made a promise to myself to reach rank 1 after the reset without using perks and so I did. When I started using perks again my gameplay improved a lot.
