How to stop complaining in the forums
Survivor to killer ratio is 4:1 So any company with an ounce business sense will naturally cater to 4 consumers more instead of one. Expecting a business to be "fair" and treat both sides equally in a video game is idealistic, not realistic. The side that brings in the most revenue will always be catered to more and no amount of posting in the forums will change that.
In simple terms, if you make survivors unhappy, who's gonna buy all those Feng skins?

If killers are unhappy how long will it take survivors to find a match?

Only flaw in that logic is there is no 4 without the 1 being there too.
So they have to cater them equally, which they do to an extent. People are just biased and only see what they want to see

Games as fair as it's ever been, Survivors have been consistently nerfed since 2016.
There's still a couple issues to iron out, of course. However, DBD is FAR from the game it was when I started playing, it's much fairer and more rewarding of skill.

They just gotta make sure the 1 doesn't get completely pissed off, test the waters a little every time.

Then give killers something nice every once in a while. Then go back to making survivors into gods in the future patches. We saw what happened after the "killer buff patch".

Oh, i expected a solution coming with that title 😂
As I said in some other thread a few months ago:
Going from a 3 vs 10, in terms of strength or balance, to a 7vs 10 is of course way better but still not nearly enough. (Again numbers are just arbitrary for visual assistance and not a measure of game state in any form)
And of course we still have the problem of solo and swf difference ending with a 5/6 - 7 - 10 at the moment. And killer characters themselves ranging from, i don't know, 4-11.

If you make killers unhappy, who's gonna play your damn game?

Y'all could stop pooping yourself in rage anytime any changes to the balance ever happens. That would be a great start.

Simply put if the devs want a consistent playerbase on both sides they will balance for both sides. In that regard they’ve been doing a great job. Killer has been buffed and still has solid perk options while solo que has been brought closer to SWF level with a more healthy meta selection than before

You speak as if a majority of players only play one side of the game.
That would be bad because one needs to play both roles to improve (know your enemy)
On another hand it would make sense that a majority of the complains are from people who only play one role and thus do not really understand what they are asking. (Nor how they should counter.)
A few months ago, the player base dropped (I believe CoH was the main proposed reason but I honestly don't remember). The health of the game improved when the killer role stopped being stressful every single game (especially at higher skill levels).
At the moment the killer role is more difficult (or more stale, depending on how you see it : tunneling 24/7 isn't fun) so it's likely there'll be a drop until it's fixed. Hopefully this time it will not take several months.
