I hate the current state of the game
I hate that all games feel like a speedrun,I hate that I have to go with 4 regression perks every game if I wanna stand a chance as killer especially on m1 ones.
The Knight is another weak m1 killer with a clunky power that gets shut down hard by loops and windows.
His power is useless in chase because survivors just hold W when you take your time that feels like forever in a chase to summon your guards.

It is almost as if they need to make the 4 survivor players have more fun as opposed to the single Killer player.
We can argue/discuss the degree but obviously survivors need to be slightly over-tuned as they constitute 70% of the player-base.

Its 70% of the game because killer is too annoying to play. Lots of killer mains became surv mains because surv is chill and killer frustrating. If the game come back to 2019 state probably there will be more killer mains, or more people who play both equally.

I've said this opposite before. Killers have to be overtuned to make people want to play them. The role is inherently stressful compared to survivor where you can just chill with your friends.

No lol survivors make up 70% of the playerbase because it's a 4v1. There is inherently more survivors than killers. That's just how the game is designed lol

But you have to remember a killer is essentially a solo player and has only their own mistakes to account for. Survivors have to account for 3 other people's mistakes as well as their own. So it's a different problem but same level of pressure.

I don't think that's the case. I can't stand to play several killer games in a row but I can play survivor indefinitely. When a survivor on your team makes a mistake you can't do anything about it. It doesn't bother me because it has nothing to do with me. When I misplay as killer it feels awful. Every misplay and lost mind game feels game losing. I'm fairly certain this sentiment is widespread and accounts for the lack of killer players.

Not really. A lot of people play games to be social even if its just with 1 friend which survivor offers. I only play killer if no one else is playing with me.

I Play both Sides. And Killer is so much stressfull, for nothing. You gain the Same Points and every Second Match, you feel awful. The Game musst be Chance for the Killer in a healthy way. Like you kill someone With 2 hooks but can't hook him in the next 3min, after He Go Off. And everyone can Stand Up alone.

Survivors overall are undertuned tho. If the average state of the game would mean 50% escape rate for survivors and slightly more than 50% killrate for killers, then sure, it might be slightly overtuned for survivors.
But right now? Escaperates are less than 40% on average, and killrates are at 60%

If you think playing survivors is on the same level of pressure as killer i'm just gonna assume you never played killer and you're just survivor biased.
Playing killer is a completely different experient than playing survivor,there's a lot of players that dont play killer just because they dont have someoen to play with.
That's because survivors play bad not because they're undertuned,the vast majority of survivors dont care to get better and just want to chill and relax.
Good survivors are much rarer than good killers.

You bias is showing lol. If I see you in another thread I will disregard your opinion because you have clearly already made up your mind.

Trust me bro, I have friends that play both roles that first became surv main (from playing both roles) and now stopped playing because playing only surv it's boring, also if it's with friends. If I play dbd, I play surv in swf, because killer is too much stressful and I hate to tunnel/camp (I do that because it's the only strategy allowed in top MMR)
2 -
No, because lots of people played both roles before mmr. Of course there will be more surv mains than killer mains, but maybe only because they play dbd only with friends, now lots of killer mains became surv mains (70% of the player base are surv mains, isn't this too much in your opinion? And isn't it obvious why this happen?) because, as I said in the previous post, killer is too much stressful and you have to play in awful way to win in top mmr (I don't like to tunnel/camp, but I like to win so you know, but it's stressful and, honestly, I don't like to tunnel every ######### game, also if I win)

That's not true at all, survivors playing soloQ get the same level of stress than killers if not more.
You are constantly in need to be as efficient as possible because you are permanently one mistake away of the killer snowballing for a 4k.

I find killer way less stressful than solo queuing (assuming I’m taking both seriously)
I learned to just play killer for fun with builds I enjoy and tbh I’ve very rarely been stressed since. There’s no huge reward for winning so just having some fun chases and a decent amount of hooks I’m having fun

Are you also having fun being tbagged when you're doing bad?

Lol wut? How is anything I said bias?

just uninstall. Ultimately, bhvr is only interested in the numbers at the end.

The issue is that survivors will always complain about either
a) a Killers anti-loop power (just hold shift+w aka "chase with M1 is the only thing fun, this is too oppressive")
b) a Killers mobility (aka "hit and run is boring")
c) a Killers zoning potential (aka "three gening is boring")
A reverse version of this is true for Killers by the way.
However you see a clear bias here: Those players who do not complain will not voice their opinions. Look at this forum and compare the number of "I like play against xyz" (not ironically) with "xyz is boring/op".
People who just enjoy a thing will rarely speak up in any way. They have no reason too.
I currently play a lot of survivor. Just because my schedule aligns with theirs. However I usually play a bit more Killers. I mostly get chilled matches because I play like that unless you try hard you will rarely get tryhards as opponents (unless you play peak time at a weekend), MMR does that pretty well.
